It is a book interesting from other points of view as well, since it represents a picture of perhaps the last famous salon in Paris. Anne Douglas Sedgewick, author of "The Old Countess," announces that her hobby is birds and her "passion" her little dog, a "Pom".

In "Children of Divorce" Owen Johnson has written a good society novel. The people are people of our own time, and it is in this that our interest in the story lies. The fact that is is a "problem novel" means less than that it is a sprightly, well written story which holds your in- terest. Jean and Kitty, cousins, both chil- dren of divorced parents are exiled to a convent in Florence. There amid strangers in this seemingly hostile alien country they are to each other sole friend and comforter. Then Kitty is taken away and Jean is left more miserable than before. Years later Jean and Kitty are meet- ing in the fashionable world, Jean re- served and quietly charming, sobered by her experiences of life, Kitty heart- less and daring, made sharp and bitter by what she has had of life. There is a man of course, Ted Larrabee also the child of divorced parents. Jean and Ted have loved one another from childhood but their different ideas about life have driven them apart. Jean asks for something stable, some asurance that their marriage will not end in disaster, Ted is too weak willed to be able to give it and between them is laughing, unprincipled Kitty, ready to take Ted on any terms she can. Of course there is shipwreck in which, on the various terms each has made for himself or life has made for him, the chance for happiness of each one is lost. The book is an argument against divorce, yes, but it is no less an argument against wealth used light- ly, against unprincipled freedom, against selfishness, against everything which we understand by "society" in its narrowest sense. Scenes in Paris "ON THE SLOPE OF MONTMAR- TRE"--Willlam Wallace Irwin. Those who are "going to Paris" have been deluged of late years with litera- ture on what to do when they got there and how to do it. Some of this information has been useful, some of it merely entertaining. It is hard to say into which class "On the Slope of Montmartre" would fall. Probably Mr. William Irwin, one of the American war expatriates who lik- ed the state so well that he continued it indefinitely by living in Paris, amus- ed himself a good deal in writing the book. It sounds as if he had. It would be fun to sit down and write sketches about the butcher, the baker and the rest of one's tormentors-- sublimate your all-year-round anger, and get back at them in such a way that they couldn't retaliate--for they couldn't read English. Mr. Irwin has made an attractive little book of word etchings, giving character sketches, glimpses of scenes which have the ring of romance for those who have or have not been in Paris--"Our Flower-Girl," "Our Coal- man," "Our Butcher," all those who make the daily round romantic in a foreign city. --EsraEr GouLp. George Jean Nathan's next book is to be called "Land of the Pilgrim's Pride." Whether Mr. Nathan has discovered anything of which, in his opinion, the Pilgrims have a right to be proud remains to be seen. The book will be published in September by Alfred A. Knopf. --New York Times Pot Shots at Pot Boilers For the prize hair-splitting "statement of the week we submit Percy A. Hutchison's statement in an article debating the respective values of ro- manticism and realism, wherein he asserts that a romantic attitude of the mind and romanticism are not one and the same thing. Neither are hydrogen and oxygen the same thing, but com- bined in stated proportions they are water. As a rabid reader of anything that comes within the reach of our avaricious grasp, we have decided that there are only two basic types of lit- erature, i.e., the romantic or abstract introvertive and thé realistic or con- crete extrovertive. In the last analy- sis, romanticism is the romantic mind carried beyond the point of satiation and classicism and modernism are simply forms of expression of the two fundamentals . . . . Of the vast num- ber of famous and infamous men in public life in the United States today, there is only one man who is typically American, who is a fulfillment of the American tradition and who does not aspire to cosmopolitanism. (Of course, if you want to insist on Senator Borer, but I hate to admit it.) Will Rogers looks, speaks, and thinks in the Ameri- can tradition without ever descending to loud voiced 100% Americanism." The mayor of Beverly Hills has evi- dentally been subconsciously affected by his neighbor, Hollywood, for he has named his latest book, "There's Not a Bathing Suit in Russia, and Other Bare Facts," when the bathing suit element actually appears only in one short paragraph of the volume. The book is a continuation of his "Letters of a Self Made Diplomat" and is a compendium of pithy and humorous comments anent the foreign political situation. Mr. Rogers has embodied more logic and sound reason in this "humorous" book than is contained in the usual weighty political tome . . . . The clay feet of another eighth grade history idol have been entertainingly exposed in "Marco Millions" by Eu- gene O'Neill. Tt is an ironic study of human futilities that will be appreciat- ed by those of you who enjoyed "The Beggar on Horseback." The drama is a perfect portrait of one of those in- effectual individuals who learn the context but not the wisdom of things and who lusts without ever realizing love. O'Neil has woven a drama of barbaric beauty and sardonic brilliance and if his genius were not so taken for granted it would undoubtedly raise a furore among the critics and reading public . . . . Harking back to our statement of last week regarding the current propaganda for remaining upon the higher altitudes of literature may we, in spite (literally) of your superiority to the effervescent, recom- mend a book for your week-end guest whose departure from town presup- poses a need for relaxation. It is "The Honorable Picnic" by Thomas Raucat and translated by Leonard Cline. Out of the vast difference be- tween the Occidental and Oriental viewpoint the author has constructed a consistently and irresistably funny tale that is set forth with original and clever humor. B. B. E. P. Dutton & Co., are beginning the publication of a new series of books designed to afford a fuller knowledge of the general ideas unon which human progress depends. The first volume of the series is "Prehis- toric Man," by Keith Henderson, --New York Times i:
