men and Men. *By V. S. Simmons. (Osgood, Mcllvaine, and

Co.)—Sarah Lovell is an American young lady who goes to Paris to study under a famous French artist. Her love-story is told here. A countryman of her own is one suitor; she promises to marry him, though her heart is really given to her teacher. But jealousy, misapprehension, and not a little lying on the part of other people, intervene. Whether things come right or not in the end, readers may discover for themselves,—not without some satisfaction, for the story contains some vigorous pictures of Paris life.
