Love of Sisters. By Katharine Tynan. (Smith, Elder, and Co.
6s.)—Miss Tynan gives us, as is commonly her custom, an entertainment in which there is nothing to annoy. The sisters are Colombo, one of those all-conquering beauties whom women have a special pleasure in creating, and the dutiful, unselfish Phil. Such a conqueror's career often brings trouble on herself and others, and Colombe does not escape this experience. We must not spoil the story by any further revelation. The minor characters are all excellent,—the mother, who reminds us of Mrs. Jellyby, so busy with paupers and criminals that she could not think of her daughters ; the lovers, who are certainly better than most "women's men"; and, more important by far, the two aunts, for whom there is devised an underplot which might itself, in a more pathetic way, suggest the title of "Love of Sisters."
