Woman’s Exciting Story
'J'HEKE is a demand for tlie talc of mystery which- is also a novel depicting ciearly arid strongly drawn characters. Few writers better satisfy those conditions than Mrs. Alice Campbell. Her new novel “Spiderweb,” is desperately exciting, and at the same time it concerns people who are made real arid tangible to the reader. Trie story is concerned with the problems confronting u young American woman when she goes to stay with the widow of a cousin in Paris. For poor Mrne. Pender, so vague and even in the best of health so tearful, is the prey of a designing woman, and even her life is threatened. One need scarcely add that the perplexed young American woman finds a useful ally—a thoroughly dependable Englishman—nor that evil machinations are finally circumvented. Jt would be unfair to give away more than this. The book is thoroughly entertaining. (Hoclder and Stoughton).
