“It is, of course, the work of a critic, and its use is to interpret men of different opinions to each other. The defect of it is that while it throws much light upon opinions, it throws none on the problems.”

The scene of this romance, by the author of “The Ravanels,” is laid in the colonies. Gabrielle, daughter of a sturdy Frenchman, is married at the age of five and left to grow up in a convent. When she has reached a woman’s years, but while still a child in mind, she is taken forth to meet her husband. Before he arrives, however, an exiled prince of Turkey comes into the life of this impulsive young woman and, by his mystic suggestions of the Orient, takes her heart captive. The love story is especially ardent and has an unexpected ending.
“The author’s treatment of the theme makes the yarn rather less absurd than might have been expected.”
