In "A Chance Acquaintance" the familiar characters of " Their Wedding Journey" reappear, but the principal roles are given to Miss Kitty Ellison and her Bostonian adorer, Mr. Arbuton. Readers who can appreciate the sentiment, the style, and the nice discrimination of character, with its quiet humor and good-natured hits at Mr. Arbuton, who was not exactly Mr. Ellison's ideal of a Bostonman, and still further from that of some of our Southern brethren, will find it very interesting and suggestive. The beautiful style and graphic description give an interest and charm to this book, which holds the attention without the aid of startling incidents or sensational extravagance.
