A story of a "nesting impulse" and what came of it. A newspaper woman determines to build a home for herself in a Jersey suburb. The story of its planning is delightfully told, simply and with a literary-humorous flavor that will appeal to lovers of books and of the fireside. Before the house-building details are allowed to tire the reader, a love story is begun, and catches the interest. It concerns the home-builder, an old flame, and an old friend, the third of whom has become a next-door neighbor. With this romance are entwined a number of heart affairs as well as warm friendships. The style is bright, and the humor genial and pervasive. The "literary worker" and the "suburbanite" particularly will enjoy the book. Women of culture everywhere should appreciate its delicate style. Illustrations by Harrie A. Stoner. 12mo, Cloth. Price, $1.20, net; postage, 13 cents.
