HOUSE BEHIND THE CEDARS, THE. By Charles W. Chesnutt. The author writes of the hopes, aspirations and difficulties of those who have but a small percentage of negro blood in their veins. He has opened up a new field of romance and reality, of which he writes with perfect knowledge, for he is one of the people whom he describes. He is another brilliant example / 277 /of the fact that there is no color line in literature. 294 pp. 12mo.--Chicago Times-Herald.
