petty tyranny. The author Of this novel
has boiled down this type of young
woman into an individual. This is Bea-
trice Constantine. named the Gorgeous
Girl by her doting father and a troop
Of besotted admirers. The story moves
along through the devotion OF Steve
O'Valley to the girl, a devotion that is
rewarded by marriage and the ultimate
awfulnesses of that state. The develop
ment is carefully guarded against any
outcropping of the inherent extrava-
gancies belonging to the situation. BY
virtue of this restraint the author sue
ceeds in making a plausible and inter-
esQng story out of one of the actualities
of modern American life.
KINDRED OF THE DUST. BY Peter
B. Kyne. author of THE Valley
of the Giants" etc. Toronto: The
Copp-Clark Company.
The basis of Mr.. Kyne's new novel is
Here is the rich and proud old
Scotchman of the northwest and the
son, who is the pride of his eye and
the center of his supreme ambition.
On the other side, and much below in
the social grading. is the young wom-
an of blemished reputa ton and mea-
ger life. To be sure. the blemish is
wholly undeserved. and the girl is as
beautiful and good as she is poor and
obscure. The struggle that moves
the story forward is between the pride
of the family and the sturdy deter
mination of Donald McKaye to
make Nan Brent his wife There is
good deal of fine spirit in this
story-the spirit of affection and fair
dealing between Hector McKaye and
his son Donald, the spirit of fine girl
hood in Nan Brent. The background of
the story-the open and vigorous life
of the northwest just opening up to
big lnduStry-iS one of the chief at
fractions of this sturdy drama of HUI
man beings remote from the softer
side of life in cities and in the nearer
to close-packed popula-
lions. Good work that gives the reader
tonic scenes and events for his enjoy
ment.
HUMANIZING INDUSTRY. Bp r. c.
Field. New York: E. P. Dttton &
Co.
A dozen short stories make ,fp this
volume. That is, they read like short
stories. each dealing with a Get of
persons concerned. with progressive
course of action that mounts to
climax and settles to a consistent
close. AS a whole, however, they sum
to scheme of industrial security
and happiness through the agencies
known as social welfare-better
modes of life for the workingman; a
larger share in the administration of
the industry which he serves; a larger
accident, illness, old age; bettee edu-
cation for his children. 1t is argu-
ment, evidence. and theory fer the
industrial advancement of the work
ers skilfully and interestingly pro-
jected in the form of story.
