That Fool Peter
By
Ashley Milner
Peter Hawkins, a clerk with ideals, has a youthful escapade with a workgirl named Evie Wills. But remorse dogs him ever afterwards, and when, while he is leading an unhappy married life, he has the sudden opportunity of saving Evie from moral disaster, he rises to the height of his chance and fulfils his ideals. But he is misunderstood by his wife, who sues him for a divorce but fails to bring conclusive evidence. The book ends happily, and throughout its course is a fine picture of a rather humdrum soul seeking—and reaching—the heights of opportunity and spiritual victory.
