“In passing from the programme to the performance itself the reader is most pleasantly surprised to find it continuously informed by a mellow poetic mood, and containing scarcely a lapse from suave and accomplished workmanship.

Fariss, Amy Cameron. Sin of Saint Desmond. $1.50. Badger, R: G.
A tale of the loves of a will-o’-the-wisp girl who allows the marriage with the man she does not love to bind her in no way to marital allegiance. She finally enthrals a man of supposedly strong nature known among his relations as “Saint Desmond.” The story is dramatic, even tragic as it finds no better solution than making death a punishment for waywardness.
