into all his writings. There is never any suspicion here of
‘index-learning’ or merely law-abiding criticism. M. Jusserand does

fastkeeping of the secret such as “the desire of the child to know who

irritation of the husband at her insistence upon keeping this alien

A clear-cut western girl with crudities of heredity, training and

upon the edge of conventional society. She is twenty-six and possesses
the integrity of a man. She falls in love with a youth of twenty who
is loyal in spite of the determination of his little fashionable set
to end his infatuation. The story dwells upon the mother’s cruel
scheme of flicking the girl upon the raw by inviting her to an
exclusive house party, counting her son’s disillusionment as a result
of the gulf which she will spare no pains to make apparent. Clem rises
phoenix-like from the fire of her persecution and shames the
