"The Feathered Ne.st" does indeed, as its publisher's blurb suggests, "confirm Miss Margaret Leech's high rank among our younger writers." Those who read ."Tin Wedding" probably remember it as a book gf more than usual talent; _readers of th.is book witt find it an extraordinarily competent handling of a difficult situation, a nice problem of a jealous mother and her three sons and the various women with whom they fall in love. Isabelle Forster took to money, when she married her rich husband, as a duck takes tn water. Efficiently and soullessly she ordered her life, finding room in it for plenty of material things . and a passionate adoration for her three sons, very little left over for the husband, who, as a tactful individua! should, gets .himself killed by fa !I from his horse. That clears the way for Isabelle nicely, and she goes in her appointed triumphal course. Until her sons grow up and then came theinevitable conflic~s with the "other women." Miss Leech carries her story through admirably without a slip, making of each of the ·s ons an individual, not wholly losing your sympathy even for a selfish and domineering woman. a GHOND THE HUNTER By Dhan Gopal Mukerji Author of Gay Neck.
