Atherton, Gertrude Franklin (Frank Lin, pseud.). [Travelling thirds.] [†]$1.25. Harper.
Mr. Moulton, the reader for a publishing house, with his wife and two daughters, who have become accustomed to a literary atmosphere, and his niece, Catalina, a madcap California girl, decide to tour the continent. The story concerns the romances which they meet with and the grand passion which comes to Catalina, who finally quarrels with her relatives and is left the sole interest of the closing pages of the book. The story derives its name from the fact that the party traveled third class thru Spain.
[*] “The story as a story is of no importance. As an invitation to travel in Spain it is persuasive and alluring.”
