It Is a generous and charac teristic meal of sentimental romance that Mrs. I.utz dishes up in "The Rn chanted Barn." and her large circle of readers will find It quite as entertaining as any of Its piedccessors. "The Rnchanted Ram" tells of a girl stenographer who set out to make her dieams come true and of the glowing success which .crowned her undertaking In both a romantic and a material way. It was to help her tired little mother escape from the suffocating atmosphere of a city back street that Shirley IIol llster first turned her life out of- Its accustomed1 groove and sought a haven In tho country. Rut the Incident led to momentous nffalrs of national impor tance. In which Shirley proved her worth and patriotism, and also won the grati tude of a family of wealth and position. Hence came the Prince ('harming Into the erstwhile stenographer's life, and with It the transformation of the magic barn Into a mansion of substantial real ity.

It Is the story of the early years' of the children of an Kngllsh family, but as all youth In all rlvillzyd countries Is en gaged In exploring the . woi Id. It has a universal appeal. If might have been written about the children of a Hryn llavvr family or of a family In Jenkln tiown. or Media, or Ogontz or Camden. The chapters dealing with tho explor ation of the attic, the crawling over the exposed plaster and the disaster which came when a rat was surprised out of his lair and the foot of the boy Flipped and broke the lath, will recall to many an adult the exciting days of t lie far-off time when all the world was young and It was impossible to under stand the prejudices of adults. The hook, however, will Interest boys and glrl.i as much as grown persons. for Mr, Smith succeeds in keeping tho point 'df'vlew of joiith from beginning to end. DAVS OP msdroVKItV. Us- Bertram Smith.
