Seitora ; and Gray : an Oldhaven Romance. Same author
and publisher.—Miss Wilcox, who describes herself as a "Counselor- at-Law "—(we hope that novel-writing is not as fatal to professional success across the Atlantic as it is here)—has given us here two pleasant volumes. In Real People, the first story tells us of the wooing of Dr. Vincent and Gloria Diaz, under the title of "A Spanish-American Engagement." This gives us a curious picture of one phase of Spanish life—the Diaz family is of Cuban origin— the position of unmarried women. In Sawa Vellena, the story is carried on, only now it is Teresa, sister to Gloria (now Mrs. Vincent), who takes the principal place. We do not quite under- stand all Miss Wilcox's characters—Bertram Brown, in the first book, is especially enigmatic—but she gives them a striking personality.
