The women of a northern New England town are seized with the spirit of club organization and the “Morning glory club” is the result. General improvement, a definite force for good in the town seem to be their theoretical watchwords yet they go far afield for bits of gossip to retail indiscriminately at their meetings. An equally gossipy group of husbands in the background, a village parson who believes that the club is the devil’s own disguise, a charming young school teacher, misunderstood and much maligned, and the parson’s son, dismissed from college for his pranks, furnish some of the personalities with which the story deals. Comic as well as tragic happenings abound, but all ends well amid wholesome reform and reconciliation.
“He has displayed no startling originality, but the story is readable.”
