Abstract

Three Women
September 21, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on three books—"Girl Alone," by Howel Evans, "Miss Ingalis," by Gertrude Hall and "Sylvia Scarlett," by Compton Mackenzie. These stories are all three about young women who have to face the modern world alone and make what they can of it, yet one could not easily find three novels more unlike in kind and quality. "A Girl Alone" is a good example of an old-fashioned story. The heroine is Victorian, the plot melodramatic, the "purpose" frankly like those of novels attacking social corruption and cruelty.
