'Ms Lhttt Belt TclU tlih Stdry'
of a Family Beast of
Burden
A "family WM 6t burden" is 'W
olald' in "Miss Iiuta'Sctt," another
of' thd Infrequent full-length nbvef of
55ond Galo, rtotnblrf for her fritfrn'rit and
ghrfwd hof fc stories 6t Friendship Vll
lng. The heroin if slio tan bo crillcd
Mich Is so denned ,lr tl, cnrly P" of
the book. Like "Tho Wfiwcomcs,"
which Thackeray subtitled "A' Novel
Without it Hero," this novel can bo said
to bo without cither a hiro 6r heroine,
in tho romantic routine sense.
Lulu "makes her homo" with her
eluter and brother-in-law. The burden
of obligation Is on her heavily; sho
has to mako good-for her own keep and
for that of her garrulous mother, also
a recipient of tho bounty of Mr. Dea
con, pompous, self-sufficient, wordily
important, wlndlly jocose. Mrs. Dea
con Is a plaintive, flabby, futilo sort of
a femlnlno invertebrate, and also there
aw her child, spoiled and pervcrso, and
Mr. Deacon's wandering brother, with
his Marco I'olo talcs of his errant life.
Lulu lives up to 100 per cent of thp
old saw that woman's work W never
done. Hoyond thirty, sh6 has In tho
background half ri life timo of drudg
ery, of suppression of sentiment, of
canceling of desires. Tho brother, takes
in Interest In her and the reaction of
her starved cxlstcnco to his romantic
personality, especially brilliant iu her
stodgy environment leads tor tragedy.
Hut out of the tragic issue Miss Gale,
nith fine nnr compelling nrt, effects a
believable denouement that Id likewise
satisfying to the sympathizer with Lulu.
This, novel is slighter In substance
but more pointed in significance and
penetrating in Insight thriri her last
and longer novel, TBlrthi" It lias
the unerring sense ortrtio characteriza
tion, the odd and convincing details of
"buslntss," the happy turn of expres
sive phrase, and tho tnng of irony and
satire that belong to tho author of the
Friendship Village stories. Hut It is
deeper than them. It does for tho
Middle AVest what Miss Alice Urown.
Mrs. AVllklns Freeman and others of
that school have dono for New England,
that Is. presents n genre picture, with
all the lights and shadows, nil the detail
of person nud place. It hns amplitude
and accuracy.

In love which tho closo of the book
falls definitely to solve, though event
