is perhaps one of the oldest, though
not~as common as horses or old lace
or first editions. But it is steadily
growing in popularity and recon-
mends itself especially to those who
are interested in people, not particu-
lar individuals, but human nature,
per sc. There is nothing which bears
the stamp of personality like a
house; the people who have lived
there may have moved out and taken
with them every pennyworth of
property that they possessed-some-
thing will remain; just enough to
whisper to q stranger what sort of
people they were. \ house remem-
bers happy times, children and love
making, as well as sorrow or bitter
ness. Therefore, homes that have
been standing for centuries make q
rich field for a visitor with imagina-
ton. This book describes scores of
many, and points out some of the
things that they are proud of-bal-
comics from which Lafayette made
speech and beds where Washington
once slept. (There are almost as
many of the latter here as in New
England, until one is apt to wonder
how the Father of our Country had
time to do anything but sleepy
South Carolina, however, was one
of the earliest States to be settled
and there is much pre-Revolutionary
material still to be seen. The set
tiers were almost entirely English
and the names of the towns and
parishes as we'll as the houses them
selves bear witness to that. Colon
ization was encouraged by the Mother
Country. both by the promise of re-
Iigious liberty and by AN Act to

We quote one more paragraph as
instance of Miss KayeSlnith's power.
This is one Of her pictures OF the
Rornney Marsh: "Color had come
into the dawn. The marsh was slowly
turning from a strange papeTry gray
to green. The sky changed from
white to blue, and suddenly became
smeared with ruddy clouds. At once
the watercourses lit up, strealIing
across the green in fiery Stats; the
shaking boughs OF the willows be-
came full of fire. and at the turn OF
the road the windows of Ansdore

Joanna Golden" is the story of
g. woman who began by believing in
her self-sufliciency: She took pride
in her management of the big marsh
farm, and held sutton off for seven
years. And then she found herself
in love, or something very like it,
with her fulking sheep tender, Sock
nersh.
Then she began wondering why
this should have come upon her.
Why should she have made n fool of
herself over Socknersh, when she
had borne unn1oved the coultship Of
Arthur Alec for seven years? Was
i: just because Alec had red whislers
and red hands and red hair on his
hands. while Socknersh was dark

terrible to think that mere youth
and comeliness and virHlty should
blind her judgment. and strip her of
common sense. Yet this was obviously
the lesson she must learn from to-

novels, but we have just finished
reading Joanna Golden" tDutton),
and on the strength of it we venture
the opinion that England has ac-
auired another woman novelist to
place with Jane Austen and George
Eliot.
We have one rule of thumb which
we apply very often to our reading.
If when We have finished book, and
particularly a novel, we feel that we
shall want to read it again some
time. we cannot be budged from our
conviction that we have encountered
something truly good. We know we

debts" The coast towns received
men from English ports and they re-
built their old homes here. while the
wealthy folk reflected the Cavalier
element in old England and the pion-
neers threw up simple, sturdy struc-
lures that served as homes and forts
and churches. One longs to be better
acquainted with all of these, but the
DOCK must hurry On with only
glance at each. We want to know
all sorts of details--what view the
master had from his library window
and how big the attic was-but it is
not possible. They are sketchy ac-
counts at best, but each holds some
thing of interest, whether that inter-
est is historical, architectural or
human.

In a moment of Soyish brag, because

his Dark Lady of the Son
nets than Miss Dane has done. She
follows the lead of Frank Harris.
whose Shakespeare play presents the
dramatist as broken and bitter. tragic
and sentimental, all because of the
Dark Lady.
And we think that what Shaw said
of the Harris play in his preface
holds true of Miss Danes: ~ miss
the Shakespearcan irony and the
Shakespearcan gayety," he wrote.
Take these away and Shakespeare
is no longer Shakespeare: all the
