The young woman thinks the real thief Is Maitland, the aroused owner of the house, hut Anisty Is not mixed In his mind as to this. To make a long story short of this svnopsls, Maitland disarms Anisty, securely ties him, gives the young woman a chance to escape, leaves Anisty In charge of the now awakened servants, and, living up to his name, "Mad Maitland.” goes to Join the young woman. whoAvas her self attempting to roh the house. From this one can see the complications— of mistaken Identity, of Anlsty'a escape, of love between the hero and the young woman, who really waa no thief at heart, only a good girl, attempting to find the documents of her father, old Graeme, to destroy and relieve his good name. In two or three days more things hsppen In "The Brass Bowl" than ono could possibly Imagine. The book Just keeps the reader surchatged. like hold ing tu Bn electric batten’. Paradoxical as It may soem, the Interest Is so In tense that one Is tempted to let the lie. so that one In looking around book lie Idle for a wbl HPL raay have, as It were, a resting spell. So many times does the author get his characters so mixed up. from the read er’s viewpoint, that to escape, as In one given case, there Is only one way for the heroine to get without the tolls of the vllllans, and that Is to jump out of the window of an office on the nine teenth story of a building. But the au thor does all this with apparent natu ralness and smoothness. You would not went to read more than ono book like "The Brass Bowl” within a week's time, say, but you do not want to miss this one. If you care for good, whole some excitement. Everything ends well, as It should.

The whole story centers around "Felicity" ami "Phlneas Morton,” lovingly called "The Old Man" by ths ’’profession." "Felicity" Is a child of o family of Easterners, her mother a Southern woman, but the whole atmosphere sur rounding "Felicity's’’ childhood Is one hoslile to the stage. There is an old maiden, “Aunt Amelia." whose entire existence has been a sacrifice, to Ply mouth Rock-bound horrors, and while she realises that life holds no hopeful ness of real living for herself she de termines that "Felicity" shall have the chance that she had missed. With "Aunt Amelias” "Felicity” Joins ths theatrical company of "The Old Man," “Felicity” In a small part and "Aunt Amelia" ss Iter ever present compan ion and Inspiring critic. Opportunities and disappointments, naturally occur from lime to time and to "The Old Man" goes "Aunt Amelia" continually for advice and guidance.
