VITALITY AND CHARM
BRILLIANT CHARACTER STUDY
"The Running'of tho Deer" is ft brilliant first novel by a clover young American writer. With great, depth of understanding and ft remarkable power of description, Mr, Dan Wickenden has sketched the everyday incidents in tho life of a typical American family and the result possesses an air of vitality and charm. The story presents ordinary middle-class people and a series of crises during one holiday period. The author's style is simple yet convincing, portraying the fresh outlook of modern life with a touch of conservatism that lends a degree of fineness to tho general effect. "The Running of the Doer" is not a tale to be read and forgotten; it is a study of character that will bo impressed on tho reader's mind as a cross-section of present-day life with dullness and monotony that at any moment may bo transformed into surprise and adventure.
