Some Recent Fiction

In the House of Her Friends. New York: Robert Grier Cooke, In-
corporated. 1906.

The fact that the author's name is not given with this book is
more piquing than usual, for it appears to be written from the
inside distinctly, and is a remarkably clear presentation. It
has to do with a college located in a small town and the various
phases of such life are minutely and accurately given. The de-

to the faculty, the student life, college functions, alumni move-

and an insistent personal note.

The Master Man. New York: John Lane Company. 1906. London:
John Lane, The Bodley Head. $ 1.50.

"The Master Man," which is offered anonymously, is the
story of a life of single-hearted devotion led by a doctor in a
small Virginian town near Charlottesville. The style is simple
and sincere, and the incidents those of the time and place. The
details of a doctor's busy life in a semi-rural community are
clearly presented, and the self-sacrifice is impressed by the
physician's death from a heart attack, when he was returning
home one winter's night from a charity call.

The Amulet. A Novel. By Charles Egbert Craddock. New York: The
Macmillan Company. 1906.

After a period of silence, Miss Murfree presents to her large
circle of readers in "The Amulet," a historical novel dealing
with the British occupancy of Fort Prince George, near the
Great Smoky Mountains, about 1763. Her usual broad, whole-
some view of life animates the book; and the accounts of fort
