The author has gone below the surface, seized upon the
spirit of the pioneers, and dramatized into her story their
love for the region and their stubborn faith in what held
them there. It is a good, human, realistic story, full of
real people and thrilling with the real pulses of life.
MISS GIBBIE GAULT. By Kate Langley Bosher.
To read a book like this is like taking a sun-bath. No one
will finish the book without thanking the author for the
keen pleasure it has given, and the vision of something good
in human nature that it has brought before them.
THE ONE-WAY TRAIL. By Ridgwell Cullum.
This is a wholesome story of life and love in Montana, with
real men and women, a strong plot and thrilling situations.
Intensely interesting from beginning to end.
THE GUESTS OF HERCULES. By C. N. and A. M. Williamson.

and rather complicated plot. The girl is particularly

fascinating.

AUNT JANE
OF KENTUCKY
By ELIZA CALVERT HALL
With Aunt Jane a real personage has come into literature.
In this dear old philosopher in homespun--with her patchwork quilts,
which were her albums and diary, and in the midst of her garden, where
each "flower was a human thing with a life-story"--we seem to renew
acquaintance with a character which each of us has known and loved
back in our own gardens of memory.
Where so many have made caricatures of old-time country folk, Eliza
Calvert Hall has caught at once the real charm, the real spirit, the
real people, and the real joy of living which was theirs.
