SMILES: A ROSE OF THE CUMBER-
LANDS. BY Eliot H. Robinson. Illus
trated. Boston: The Page Company.
One would hardly suppose that
after the way in which the Cum
berland mountain region has been
exploited by John Fox, jr., there
would be anything left for anyone
else to write about, yet Eliot H.
Robinson takes the reader into that
land Of mOonshiner and feudist in
such novel and entertaining fash
ion as to give no impression Of
travelling familiar pathways.
Rose Webb, the Smiles" Of the
title, at once enIists the interest
and affection OF the reader, as she
did OF Donald Macdonald, Boston
physician, vacationing in the Vir-
ginia mountains. The main interest
OF the story centers around the de-
termination Of Rose 10 become
nurse, and an equally strong de-
termination on the part Of the read
er that the novel will be Unsatls-
factory unless DR.. Mac marries the
mountain girl. Yet the author sp-
parently makes the latter event i'm
probable to the point where one Is
resigned to the spelling OF the rO-
nance, and then cIeverly removes
all obstacles without in any way
creating an impression OF un-
reality.
With an admirable versatility the
author gives an intimate picture
alike OF life in the rude cabin Of the
primitive mountaineer and the
mansion Of the cultured Bostonian.
Later, when Rose achieves her
ambition and is entered as a pro-
bationary nurse IN an institution
for children in Boston. comes ac-
quaintance with the routine Of a
great hospital.
So ingenious is the method by
which the threads Of the story are
woven into the completed fabric
that it would be highly unfair TO
author and reader alike to divulge
more Of the plot than the mere out
line given. And in the general eX-
ceIlence OF both character dellnea-
tiOn and atmospheric creation IL,
too, seems unfair to be under neces-
sity OF regrettinE the introduction
OF a poleaicsl disputation between
DR.. Macdonald and the mountain
preacher, Talmadge. which is as
unconvincing as it is irrelevant

The leg and shoulder should be
baked in an alright cooker until

flank may be stewed until tender
in. much the same way you prepare
fricasseed chicken. In cooking all
mutton, II is the long, slow cooking
which makes a savory dish.
Not only is mutton usually cheap
er and more plentiful than beef, but
il is more economical because, be-
ing small, the carcass may be
bought in half or quarter portions.

cents cheaper per pound than you

Our English cousins use mutton

Therefore, the British expression:
ITO our muttOns." In Europe, and
especially the Orient, this meat is
almost a staple. and the Turks turn
out delicious dishes with rice, in

raisins or sour sauces or tart jelIies.
These people Of the Old World have
discovered how easy 81 is to digest
mutton, and that, too. is the reason
doctors prescribe mutton broths and
stews for invalids.

to serve mutton instead OF beef and
lamb. Curiously enough, we Amer
