Thwing, Eugene. Man from Red Keg. †$1.50. Dodd.
“In the ‘Man from Red Keg’ we are given the raw material for a great novel. Much of the dialog is badly written and deals in the baldest commonplaces, showing that ruthless revision and condensation would have strengthened the book, but we do get the atmosphere of the Michigan woods, of a country town, and of live men with vital interests.”

Tilghman, Emily (Ursula Tannenforst, pseud.). Thistles of Mount Cedar: a story of school-life for girls. †$1.25. Winston.
“The story is not marked by any special strength and impresses us as being stilted and artificial in treatment. The moral atmosphere, however, is excellent.”
