j. E. Buckrose. who writes like a
man but Is woman. has given Us
another intimate picture OF English
life In THE Round About" There
is always something fresh and in
spring about Mrs. Buckrose's writ
ing. Here stories are true In every
essential, but without the harrow.
ing. delving. anatomical dissection
which SO many authors seem to
think necessary part OF convey
ing truth to their readers. She
knows why people feel and act as
they do without Analysing their
feelings and acts with too many
words. We accept the compliment
and are grateful. There is very
little OF adventure in this story,
but II Is an Illuminating picture OF
two generations of English people
with q Hint of the new woman Of
the third. Did we not know II to
be true. we would not believe that
such an amazing change could come
about in so short time. We al
ways welcome with quiet satisfac-
ton a new book from Mrs. Buck
roses pen.
