test against this hardness we have
the declaration OF one of the char
acters. which summarizes the au-
thor's thesis:
"A woman is a woman even as a
man is man. with a right to live
cheerfully. no matter what she has
done or what has happened to her.
Law and order must be obeyed: I
comes a time when the individual
must rise superior to both. wherf If
he has broken one and dispelled the
other. he must not let it dispel or
break him. We are all
children Of transsression. Who shall
hold you responsible? Isn't
life of more Importance than our
mistakes? Should We allow a mis-
take. never mind what it is. to over
shadow the blessed gift of life?''
The story is placed in Virginia. in
our own day. among people who may
seem to the more "emancipated"
Northerner somewhat primitive. old
fashioned in their beliefs as well as
in their ways of living. But one
may feel sure that Mrs. Tyler knows
the society she is describing. 1t
would be comforting to think that
she has exaggerated it little. but
there is no good reason for the be-
lief. There is a touch OF the Scar
let Letter" in the attitude OF the
community toward the woman,
Georges mother. with whom the
story opens. 1t is more than social
ostracism- The church spurns her,
and will not even allow her 10 come

she is willing 70 sit with the negroes
Even the doctor is afraid TO be seen
in attendance upon her, The whole
thing is a CHASTITY survival OF all that

the stern creeds of our greatgrand-
fathers: a sardonic commentary upon
what certain still existing churches
are pleased to call Christianity.
