    • Abstract:
      The article presents information on several fiction books. The book "The Glass House," by Florence Morse Kingsley, is a story of a confirmed wife, mother, and houseworker, weary but well-doing, who was hunted out by an old college classmate and persuaded to be sorry for herself and to take to literature. It is hardly conceivable that the mother of a twelve-year-old child should be so unstable of habit as to forsake the frying-pan for the inkstand. The book "The Wander Years," by J.H. Yoxall, is scarcely a book of travel, although the "journeys into life, letters, and art" are often connected with actual journeys into France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Yoxall's avowed purpose is to portray his travels through the present and into the past, amidst hoary white civilization.
