"DREAM OF A WOMAN" By Remy de Gourmont. Boni & Liveright. Remy de Gourmont's novel "Le Songe d'une Femme"--"Dream of a Woman"--has been translated into English for the first time. It is said to have been de Gourmont's favorite of his novels. It is a story of love and nothing else, the sort of story that only a European and perhaps best of all a Frenchman, can write. When Americans do it they produce "The Sheik," a story to thrill the gum- chewing multitudes; when the French do it they produce somthing like this-- decidedly caviare for the few. De Gourmont has written his story of love in a series of letters from a number of different people. The let- ters are all beautifully written and all written in the same style, except one or two very youthful ones which are painfully simple. This gives the story less actual verity but more unity than if every two or three pages, for the letters are short, we were transported into a different style. The writers of the letters are varied and yet classifiable, two young women both mastered by the passion of love who after an interval of ten years begin to correspond and lie to each other competently about their experi- ences, two young men insatiably curi- ous and quite heartless, two very young girls in different stages of innocence, two older men who are necessary to complete the four love episodes. The style is poetical and precise: "I am in the state of a soul about to enter into Paradise. My soul is not yet within the beautiful luminous prison: it is culling the last flowers of freedom. It is sure of tomorrow's happiness, but it does not yet feel the quivering of supreme joy, and certainly has not yet enfolded it in its divine but inflexible arms," says the young girl about to be married. That her fiance IN A YUN-NAN COURTYARD By Louise Jordan Miln So Wing--soldier, trader, lover, the Chinese Robin Hood, has it in his power to make or mar the double romance which makes this thrilling novel. Never has Mrs. Miln better portrayed the beauty and romance of China. Frederick A. Stokes Co. $2.00 AMERICA By Hendrick Willem Van Loon As in his famous "Story of Man- kind," Mr. Van Loon has made history as thrilling as fiction. This is the story of our own background, the struggle of the pioneers to make what we have today and the later influences which mold our lives. Boni & Liveright $5.00 is at the moment the lover of her father's mistress is a little irony whicl has not vet entered to mar the Para dise. "DUSTY ANSWER" By Rosamond Lehmann. Henry Holt & Co. "Ah what a dusty answer gets the soul When hot for certainties in this our life!" But not always so dusty an answer as does Judith in this charmingly written novel by Rosamond Lehmann. "Dusty Answer" is the story of the little girl and later the young woman Judith in her first contacts with the world. When Judith was a child the children next door provided all the romance of her life. There were five of them, cousins, Mariella the grave. Charlie the handsome, Julian the cyn- ical, Roddy the fascinating, and Mar tin the stupid but kind. Toward these children Judith fel drawn with an irresistable fascina- tion, they made the core of all her dreaming, her knowledge, and yet they stood apart from her in a curious aloofness, in the bond of blood rela- tionship. "They were all collected at the front door as she came down the drive . . . What a way they had of all standing as if to prevent a stranger from breaking in among them!" Yet Judith does break in and with each of them--except Charlie who is killed at nineteen in the war--she has her exerience of love. She becomes Roddy's mistress, Martin loves and asks her to marry him, Julian tries to win her, while Mariella who married Charlie loves Julian in vain. So are the strands of Fate tangled even as they might be in actual life. Yet Judith's experiences are a shade fan- tastic, a little exaggerated to seem entirely real. The charm of the book is in the firm delicate style, and in the creation of delichtful characters, peonle distin guished and intelligent, who because their experiences are not those met in ordinary life convince us more com nletelv of their delightfulness than their absolute veracity. PRETTY FAIR "NOW EAST NOW WEST" By Susan Ertz D. Appleton & Co. Susan Ertz has written some aw- fully good books. Her "Madame Claire" had an unusual amount of charm, "Nina" had less charm and per- haps more substance, "After Noon" had less substance and less charm. It is necessary though sad, to say that tha came ic true of her latest "Now East Now West." Tt hasn't very much substance nor very much charm. The type of woman that Miss Ertz pictured so delicately in Madame Claire is less well done in Kate All- rood. The wistful inarticulate look- ing on at some part of life which one has missed or passed is in both Kate and the main character of the book. George Goodall. The friendship be- tween these two is the pleasantest thing the story offers, an ideal friend- ship--seldom happening outside of books, alas--in which the woman leads the man to further fields of beauty and understanding and the man goes with her and remains true to his wife. ie EER EL RE Rae
