There Katharine Tynan's disposition runs toward high comedy. Love is not always tragic but has its amusing side. Of course it would never do not to put in occasionally some pathos into the business of lovemaking. Fully appreciating how the grave and the gay are to be assorted, in "Oh, What a Plague is Love" the two elements are sagely compounded. Generally the novel reader is satisfied with a single marriage, but the one event does not suffice, Katharine Tynan. There is a pleasant old gentleman in the story. He is made happy, having selected a wife, and two of his children follow suit, and so the officiating clergyman has a triple job. Were there three complete sets of bridesmaids? The management of what might seem a a complex plot becomes quite clear under the skillful handling of a clever writer. -Book News: An Illustrated Magazine of Literature and Books, Vol. 18
