The Home in the Valley by Emilie Flygare-Carlin is a bright and lovely story about the delights
of home. Excerpt: In one of father La Fontaine's books may be found a description of a lovely
valley the residence of a beautiful and modest maiden and of the heroine of this Arcadia he
writes: There stands our heroine as lovely as the valley her home and as virtuous and good
as her mother who has devoted a lifetime to the education of her daughter. But with the
history of this maiden he weaves the workings of an evil genius which in the end is triumphant
for even the pure are contaminated after they arrive at that period when they consider that
vice has its virtues.
