MANY MANSIONS"

Sarah ". MacConnelEs Nouel
Suffers From Too Much
Explanation

Many Mansions" by Sarah warder
MacConnell, is a good story which suf-
fers from a common ailInent in the huge
output of modern fiction-the authors
vocabulary
The outline of the theme which is a
simple enough ohe-beine the search OF
its heroine, Perdi,a. for the ideal of
home. built on deep and tranquil love
and sympathy--is rather heavily shroud-
cd beneath too much editorial com
ment.
This prediction on the part Of the
author for overexplaining characters,
situations and emotions has the effect
of blurring her portraits.
Just what the trouble is is worth puz-
zling over. for the style is good, there
are many excelences in the story and it
is interesting. There are some good pic
lures in this little gallery, and one

that in them there Is no hint OF an at

evidence that he believes himself writ

REAL HEROINE
Mrs. Comstock Has Written
mother Charming Nouel
About French Canaiadns

1t will be a real pleasure to tie reader

that breathes of slaughter or intrigue
or secret service to follow the for
tunes Of 10 Morey, better known to
her French Canadian neighbors as
"Mam'seile Jo.' as set down by Harriet
r. 'omstock in charming story of that
maine. Few of our modern writers OF
either sex have furnished more vivid
and lifelike Characterization that de-
pend for their value upon what may
properly be called readiness than this
gifted woman. whose Son of the Hills,
to mention only one of several titles or
more than ordinary interest from her
pen. is q most agreeable example Of ro-
mantle literature which appeals to good
sense as we'll as imagination.
Mrs. Comstock is particularly well quail
fled to tell tales that have the outdoor
atmosphere and a background OF robust
proportions. and especially of the Lower
Canada folk. with whom she obviously
has an acquaintance not derived wholly
from guidebooks or descriptive articles.
She knows the habitans Of the Anglo
French region, which has quaint Quebec
as its center. and in Nam selle Jo'' she
depicts one whose seeming mascuinity
is only mask acquired by a hard life
| forced upon her in her early maiden
| hood. which saw her romance wrecked
at the moment of its expected fruitlon
| and behind her rugged exterior beats a
| loving and maternal heart that regards
self-sacrifice as a duty not to be avoided,
| however cruel and unjust may be its
| reward. Self-sacrifice and selfless love
are the outstanding features of this
wholly admirable romance, and these
| attributes. ii may he said, are not con-
| fined to the title character, who, never
