WIDOW WITH IDEAS
"Sea Wind," by E. M. Ward, is a story with an unusual setting—that of the coast lands of Lancashire over which the sea encroaches menacingly. Hero lived Oscar Easkayne, owner of the ancient manor, and his sister, .loan. Tlie.v were impoverished and times were had, hut their life was contented enough until a fairly well-to-do-widow, Mrs. Bold, persuaded Oscar to join her in a scheme for forming a summer camp for holiday visitors on the shifting dunes. This, which proved financially a failure, was not the worst of the widow's designs, for deliberately she "sot her cap" at Oscar, nearly winning that sensitive young man's devotion. Meanwhile Joan was fast losing her heart to a Swiss, Otto von Secke, who was shipwrecked on the coast, rescued by Oscar, and nursed hack to health by Joan. How these varied characters worked out their love-complications is told ciuietl.v and interestingly in this attractive story.
