“His book is an excellent piece of work throughout; delicate and sensitive in criticism, clear and often felicitous in style, marked by wide knowledge and carefully considered judgment. Now and again his taste appears to us a little fastidious.”

* Mason, Edith Huntington. Real Agatha. **$1. McClurg.
The will which leaves a man’s millions to his step-daughter contains a clause intended to thwart fortune-hunting husbands. The Honorable Agatha must surround herself by “not less than five nor more than six” young women of her own age each of whom is to be known as the Honorable Agatha. The caprice of the real Agatha moves her to assume the rôle of private secretary to her chaperon, leaving the field to the six Agathas and the puzzled suitors. Of course the real romance concerns the secretary and a young lord who in the face of convention woos her.
