This delightful novel is gradually winning its way into popular favor as the most interesting and attractive piece of work Miss Magruder has ever done. It certainly merits all its success and commendation for never has she drawn a more lovable heroine or a more manly hero, and with characters like these no story could be otherwise than thoroughly charming. It is the story of a young and beautiful “Alien” cruelly mislead by an unworthy father and a scoundrel of an American, who finally succeeds in securing the love and happiness for which she so ardently longs and so well deserves. The plot is well thought out, the interest is wonderfully well sustained, and the charm of the story is irresistible.
