passionate negation. To this man,
Agatha turns, even in her G%ne
hours, and before they closed Tor
ever her eyes rested last u.'on An
drew Mckay. her devoted friend aud
lover of q lifetime. And 10 him she
confesses what she thought was her
last "blunder." but which vas the
courageous, browning act Of an eG-
istence. unaelash, and in which her
only true happiness, perhaps. was
found in tho cultivation of orchids.
These her father had loved, and
these she thought, for the honor Of
the name, she must rival him in pro
ducing.
Her Type L. Legion.
There arc many women like Aga
tina, but the world understands them
not. 1t IS love that alone can open
their hearts, but even when they love
their secretive natures build bar
rler about them that even their own
children cannot penetrate. They
stand alone. and. like Agatha, they
reject tho very advice which they
seek.
And Frank Dandy has painted this
wonderful typo o. womanhood with
a strength. Lower and breadth
which elevate her to q rank not far
removed from that of George Sand
and George Eliot. She has realized
the emotions Of The feminine human
heart with a sure touch, which re-
minds one OF the study OF the femi-
MIST of Comte. She shows the broad
est sympathy, the closest under
standing Of human nature; and in
her technique, in her nara tive, clear
and convincing, there is genius.
Disguises No Weaknesses.
The faults Of temperament Of her
heroine she does not disguise. but
high above these human alterations
she places the genuine, perfect quail
ties of the true, noble woman.
For in spite of Agatha's shyness,
she is Independent and resourceful,
one upon whom ali those in trouble
lean and to whom a journey 10 India
IS a mere bagatelle if 1t can bring
comfort to one whose claims upon her
are paramount
From this precis Of a remarkable
book the thoughtful reader can get a
lint at the importance and dignity Of
the character painting which the
author has attempted and which she
las so successfully achieved.
