Faintly satirical, and written with the trace of a smirk, it neither pities, excuses nor condemns the sex- | ual adventures of its heroine, little Doris Stevenson.

She never knew, but she died like a Fassefern, choosing the blackness of the sea rather than a life and a love less than perfect. Dark Star is a curious book. It is romantic and tragic.
