Allan Gilbert, The Ryerson Press, Toronto. Price $2.00, The name of the author is enough to recommend this book. Stirring romance is at once the idea of the reader when he reads the name of George Barr McCutcheon, Back to his mind come the characters in "Sherry," in "Graustark" and a score of other beset sellers. s The title "Quill"s Window" is a puzzler at first glance.' There are so many things that it suggests. It might refer to the lattice of some mediaeval beauty's bower, might be the portal through which some aged philosopher views the world as it passes by, might be any number of things, It really is a queer rock formation on an abrupt hill in a level part of the state of Indiana. There is a girl ingthe story, in fact the girl is mostly the story, as is customary with McCutcheon tales. She is beautiful, young, and answers all the other requirements of a Me- Cutcheon heroine, including the fact that she is wooed by two men. That one of them wins her is a foregone conclusion.
