Dillon, Mary. In Old Bellaire. †$1.50. Century.
A quaint old Pennsylvania town with its cavalry school and dashing young officers at the east end and its students and intellectual mentors at the west end furnishes the scene of his story of the early sixties. The heroine is a prim little Puritan maiden whom it takes four years to convince that Quaker teaching and Northern prejudices can be made compatible with her love for a handsome, fastidious, daring, Southern-bred lover.
