By Eliza- beth E. Corbett, author of “Cecily and the Wide World," ete. New York: Henry Holt & Co. This novel has carned for its author / the satisfactions that lie in any sort of superior workmanship. Here is a romance that is consistently plausible throughout. Its action, besides, runs along an attractive highway of human interest. The people supporting it are alive. More than that, they are worth knowing, as is the occasional person that one meets in life. It is & story of New York, of a group of artist folks in the big city. The particular con- cern of the development is the suc- cess, or failure, of a struggling young painter who, for the purpose of this study, comes under the influence of two women—one the puritan, the other the pagan. The former. however, is not all puritan, not altogether the product of the harsh and endless in- hibitions that one has come to as- mociate with the name. On the other hand. the pagan is not all, not quite 1l, pure lawlessness. The latter, to sum her in everyday way, thinks only of herself, of her own importance and desires. The former thinks of the other fellow now and then. Upon this eased-up notion of puritan and pagan the author creates two very attractive and remarkable women as the nu..xl' influences in the life of the artist. In this field she does simple and natural work—work that is admirable in every respect. The immediate result is a novel of unusual excellence and m-l terest. THE VAGRANT DUKE. By George | Gibbs, author of “The Splendid Outcast,” etc. New York: D. Ap- pleton & Co. Mr. Gibbs has staged this colorful adventure down the Jersey coast, no distance at all from New York. Here, upon the great estate of Johnathan K. McGuire, he has gathered from wide distances of places and circum- stances the clements of an action that keeps the reader moving right along without any place at_all to stop. First, here is a grand duke, discard- ed By revolutionary Rusia. Here, t00, is a bri ssibly a murderer | —out of th the west was The grand duke is kman, forester to the vast wooded estate.
