Come of Her Vow. By Elise Thorp. (Town and Country
Publishing Company.)—What, indeed, might not come of such a vow ? Catharine Wardine, being about to enter the family of a certain Sir Crysto Innis, vows to her lover, Eustace Vale, that she will never speak to her employer. The first happy result of this proceeding is that she is married to him, apparently against her will ; but she cannot say "no," and of course "silence is consent." What the vow has to do with this result, and bow far it comes from the young lady Wing nearly drowned in Sir Orysto's company by the advancing tide, we have not been at the pains of dis- covering. The truth is, that the tale is a tissue of absurdities from
beginning to end. One of them is that the heroine's hair turns white in
a single night. Such things have happened, it will be said ; very true, but genuine art does not take up incidents of this kind.
