bonne is at -Montreal, is the grand-
daughter of the late A. J. woore,

'Collegiate Institute staff for many
years and was the -chief ,promoter °Utile

youthful author the covettarDodd Mead

"The 'Unreasoning Heart" hasnow

The real surpeise is the force of passion
.which Miss Beresford-Iiowe has in-
jected into the tragic: rinnance of the
unhappy love between a young, Can-
