His new novel "Georgie May" which is just out he considers the best work he has ever done. MIND AND HEART "JULIE DE LESPINASSE" E. P. Dutton & Co. Anyone might well have been pleased to be the discoverer of new material on the life of that renowned yet little known character Julie de Lespinasse. This has been the good fortune of the Marquis de Segur and he bas embodied the very illuminating material which he has found, both in the letters of Julie and in her family archives, in this interesting story of her life. The publication of these letters in an abridged form set by the ears the world of 1811, thirty years after their author's death. Now more than a century later they are still as full of charm, life, and the fire of a glowing personality as they were then. These letters in their unabridged form are soon to be published in France. Julie de Lespinasse was one of the great lovers, the great intellects of her time. Poor, without name and without beauty, her magic charm and Clear up bloodshot eyes quickly and safely When eyes become blood shot from wind, dust, over-use, crying or lack of sleep, apply a few drops of harmless Murine.

When she was not yet thirty her tiny salon drew the brightest lights from the more estab- lished salons of Madame du Deffand and Madame Geoffrin. For twelve years she was occupied with the things of the mind then suddenly she was stricken with the things of the heart. From that time on her life was not that of a philosopher but of a har- rassed lover. This volume concerning Julie is in- teresting not only, by any means, for its light on her character alone but as a picture of that brilliant, fascin- ating, to us fantastic age, when phil- osophers were more sought after by society than oil magnates, when one Haight truly say, "I think, therefore am." "HELEN AND FELICIA" By E. B. C. Jones Henry Holt & Co. "Helen and Felicia" is one of those sad results which we must expect to have follow the interest in psychologi- cal fiction. E. B. C. Jones has written some good books which like the "Wedgewood Medallion" and "Quiet Interior" had a delicate touch and real charm. But she has--in English par- lance since she is English--come a cropper this time. She has tried to lead the way through the subtlest of the subtle reactions of a large number | of characters and has become so in- volved that she and the reader too, are | hopelessly lost. It is difficult to say whether if "Helen and Felicia" were not the title of the volume and therefore a little hilltop sticking up you would in the first half of the book have any idea d| which of a large and determinedly analyzed family you were supposed to be particularly interested in. For the sad truth is that you are not in- terested in any of them. Helen's and Felicia's devotion to each other seems not a little hysterical and you find yourself constantly expecting some- thing to come of it but nothing does. In fact the book is full of incidents which just don't come off. In the end the point of the book is that blood is stronger in this case than the marriage tie and Helen rises above her sister's infidelity with her husband frankly confessed by the sister. Helen takes Felicia's arm and they all go in happily to a three-sided dinner to- gether. But this doesn't seem to solve anything. You have no idea what Felicia will do in the future, she THE SON By Hildur Dixelius With a beautiful Swedish village as a background this sequel to "The Minister's Daughter," carries on the story of Sara Alelia, her children and grandchildren. Northern mysticism and a strong belief in the super- natural is felt throughout the book. E. P, Dutton & Co. New York Francis Newman's new novel Dead Lovers are Faithful Lovers This even more than "The Hard Boiled Virgin" readers will agree deserves the verdict of James Branch Cabell, "brilliant, candid, civilized and profound." Boni & Liveright $2.50 And such is fame! Edward Garnett, the English writer who edited " Letters From Joseph Conrad," which has just been published, wrote to his publishers, the Bobbs-Merrill company, concern- ing an article he had read recently in an American periodical. The article appeared in the Bookman and Mr. Garnett called attention to the young Indiana writer, as he thought, and what he had written about the Klan in Indiana. "You had better look out for him," wrote Mr. Garnett, "he should be on your list. It would be a shame if you don't get him. His name," con- tinued Mr. Garnett, "is, I think, Nicholson." The writer Mr. Garnett referred to is none other than Meredith Nicholson, whose new novel Bobbs-Merrill is to bring out early in July. "And to think," said Mr. Nicholson sadly, "that after writing thirty books I should be discovered by the discoverer of Joseph Conrad!" Dr. David Starr Jordan, whose book, "The Higher Foolishness," was recent- ly published, coined three words in the process of writing the book--sciosophy, quacktitioner and pluviculture. newspaper reporter maintained that the words could not be rhymed. Some one has proved that they can be rhymed and the three stanzas of his poem end respectively thus: .. . No shadow of a doubt you see, That one may rhyme sciosophy. . . And rave at mercernary vulture, Who seeks to thrive on pluviculture. . . We can't refrain from wishin' her, Escape from this quacktitioner! Paul Wilstach, the sprightly globe- trotter and no less sprightly biographer of the Revolutionary Fathers, recently sailed for Italy to finish a new book to be entitled "An Italian Holiday." Mr. Wilstach is the author of Islands of the Mediterranean" and "Along the Pyrenees." "Ia Fayette," by Henry Dwight Sedgwick, author of "Cortes the Con- queror, "American Travel Charts and Travel Chats," by Frederick L. Collins. Where to go and how much it costs in thirty American cities. can't very well go on sharing Helen's wealth as well as her husband. And you are left realizing that for all the pages of analyzing you don't know the characters, they are not real or you would be able to project them forward and give them the futures which they should have.
