"The Daughter of Heden Kent," Barah Comstock's new novel which Doubleday, Page & Co. published on October 7th, is the story of a mother and her daughter. To Helen Kent romance was a drab thing. Deserted by her husband when Bec was a baby Helen had gone into business and Juade of it a success. In her disfl- lusionment, commercial achievement seemed all that a woman could de- sire and believing this she planned a ' business career for her daughter. But to Bee the pothooks of stenography were drudgery. She wanted to dance, to sing, to play and live the romance Which her mother scorned. Each through her own love for a man learned tolerance of the other's views and genuine companionship. Warrington Dawson, Veteran For- eign Correspondent. Warrington Dawson whose recent novel, "The Gift of Paul Clermont" has just been published by Double- day, Page & Co, began his literary carreer early to be exact at the age ot 9. His father, Captain Dawson, the ~energetic editor of the Charleston ~ News and Courier who was made a LAE EEE EE REE EER RT { by Pope Leo XIII because of his cam- paign against the duel in South Car- | Warrington's | olina, began | training in young Journalism Ly printing { his impressions of the jurenile buoks | ! which came to the Japer for review.

Mr. Heming tells an amusing little incident to die- [prove the general belief that artists are temperamental, dissipated crea- tures who thrive in the white lights. In the ancient days before prokibi- tion Mr. Heming was in New York to invite American artists to exhibit in the Canadian National exhibi. in To- ronto Gardner Symons the well- known American artists invited Heming and Frederick Waugh, an- other leading artist, to dinner at the National Arts Club, * 'Let's go down and have a cock- tail before lunch," said Symons, "'l never take anything,' Heming, '* 'Neither do 1,' said Waugh, "Symons laughed, " 'That's funny,' he said, 'Neither sald a | [do I, but anyway we'll have sormd icigars.'

Say, you eat, don't you?--because I've ordered lunch'." ° -------- A Novel Inspiration. | "Where on earth do you suppose the guthor got the idea for that | book?" {5 a question frequently ! heard but seldom answered as satis- | factorily as in the case of Peter B. Kyne's new novel, "The Pride of Pal- |ermar." > | Here's what Ray Long, | magazine éditor and intimate friend jot this particular famous author, re- | veals regarding this particular | story's inspiration: | "Toward sunset of a california | evening, Peter B. Kyne and I--than {Peter B. Kyne no man ever had a | better eompanion--drove up to one of those picturesque old missions in southern California A hooded and |sandaled padre welcomed us.

We are not yet at the beginning of the ills which will issue from such a negation of justice, and when they do come wise philoso- phers will ask themselves why they have arisen here." A Rip-Roaring, Rollicking Novel. A valued correspondent says: "Oc- casionally a book is published that one does wish to scream and yell about.
