Baker, very flushed and angry, called on Mrs. Pres
ton, desiring her to Take Steps. The passage along
the street of the fat little Baker boy occasiOned
loud cries of Here comes Alb! Hello, Abb There's
Alb Domenl'' We will only say further of this
dyertng and entirely truthful episode that it had
an amazing sequel.
Jimmie, who cannot be convicted of having con-
spired to fasten upon young Edward Baker nick
name at once refined and unusual was more or less
responsible, we fear, for his aunts finding herself
unable to open the bathroom door after he had re-
paired and oiled all the locks in the house. He was
blameless of the thefts of what the family called
"nether undergarments" from the neighbors'
clotheslines. Here Maria played detective, though
the discovery of the culprit was mostly luck.
Less Laughable Matters.
We may laugh over these things in book and
learn the better to laugh over them in life, even
when we are cast for the uncomfortable roles In
their enaction. But we should not like to be the
reader who may laugh at such chapters as those
which tell of young Osborn s first attachment to
the ideal, as embodied in a certain Miss Fair
weather some years older than he.
This, quite as much or more than the merely hu-
man and humorous and truthful episodes Of The
Prestons, makes it a memorable book that will
have $4,000 readers.

cluded in any list of living American novelists OF
the first rank For this is book which takes its
place with the best of Harrington and with the
earlier Howells. For breadth of understanding,
accuracy of observation fidelity of reporting it is
not easy to think of an American novel that tran
sends it. These qualities imply what we call 'sym-
pathy'' in the author; add humOr and you have
the rounded stamp of her matured genius.
The Nature of the Story.
1t is quite impossible to do much more with a
book like The PrestOnS than to convey the nature
of the story and the character of its telling. 1t IS
related by Mrs Preston and it starts with her ex-
ploration of the house a summer morning. She
comes first upon the dog Piker. Piker is lying on
a silk wrap of Edith 'He is a long dog, modelled
after the graceful proportions of barrel. At every
corner nobby legs are put on, dachshund fashion.
His sparse yellow bristles are always coming out
all over everything. His tail Is long and
thick and makes noise like policeman S club
when he raps it on the floor.
On the piazza were lemonade glasses ''some of
them left on the floor where they could quite easily
be stepped upon" Edith's friends The mother
takes them to the kitchen, bright and spotless
Seraphy's domain. In the library lying on the
floor is Jmmie's notebook containing his observa-
tions as naturalist, on guinea pigs. They read:
"2 P. M.-Guinea pigs sleeping.
"2 80 P. M.-Still sleeping.

OF all the portrayals OF the life
~ of an American family that we
have read the new novel by Mary
Heaton Worse, The PreStonS, leaves
on us the pleasantest and most hope
full impression. Perhaps this IS be-
cause of its very mconclusiveneSs. 1t
really doesn t arrive anywhere except
at the end of 427 pages and of one or
two years of normal American exls-
fences. No great tragedy stains It's
pages: there is no love story. Nothing
comes to a decisive denouement; we
recall not single "climax" except
those little social climaxes which occur
in the best regulated families. The
only things that happen are Henrys
irritation with his twelve-year-old son,
Jimmie; Jimmie's uncOnquerable AZ
tempts to be allowed to do something
that the grown-ups are sure to call get
ting into mischief; seventeen-year-old
Osborn S adventures Of the heart; the
changing INSCRIPTIONS of Edith, high
school girl; the trials Of Maria, Mrs.
Preston S unmarried sister who lives
with the family, and the philosophical
outgivings of Seraphy, for eighteen
years the family servant and shield
and friend.
Not much of anything happens, you
may think; well, perhaps not but you
will not be able to leave the Prestons
until the last page has been turned,
You will laugh unnumbered times as
you turn the pages; you Will be
touched more than oIce as you read.
Quite unreasonably, no doubt, you
will fall in love with them as a fam
lily, from Aunt Maria to Piker, the
dog. They are so much-you.
SO much so that Mary HeatOn
