The Darlingtons 



By ELMORE ELLIOTT PEAKE 



YOU who arc so anxiously awaiting the Great American Novel — a pointer 

 Someone once said that the G. A.N. would be the work of many hand: 

 That is, instead of having a single novel, we would have to have a veritabl 

 cycle of romance, to comprehend the whole of America. Now all we claim to 

 "The Darling-tons" is that its racy suggestion ot the soil ot a single section wil 

 surely constitute it a chapter in any Great American Novel ot the whole and nc 

 ot the part, like that ot which we have spoken. Perhaps you never expected fc 

 live to see the appearance ot the Great American Novel. Yet it you will rea< 

 "The Darlingtons" you can at least make a beginning. Maybe we'll adi 

 another chapter one ot these days.

 treatment. . . . The Darlingtons might stand for thousands of flourishing families which renreser 

 the newer aristocracy of small towns in all parts of the countrv." — Springfield Republican.
