A most delightful and engaging love-comedy, set in quaint and interesting Holland; Cupid, the little love-god, has a powerful accessory in the trim motor-boat which was left to Nell Van Buren and Phyllis Rivers by their rich uncle. These two young persons in the company of a young American, a young Dutchman of noble family, and a "chaperon," undertake a long cruise through the romantic waterways of the Nether lands, a voyage which is one round of incident and full of exciting surprises. The story is quite equal to the best the Williamsons have written, and it will be greeted with eagerness and anticipation by their large and growing audience.
