P. Dutton Marietta Minnigerode Andrews who wrote so frankly and with a rather humble and wistful charm her "Mem- oirs of a Poor Relation" has continued her memories in "My Studio Window." From that window in Washington she has watched the great of the world go by, catching, very appropriately, their silhouettes with her unusual ex- pertness with black paper and scis- sors. Mrs. Andrews pretends to no great intimacy with most of the peo- ple of whom she writes, though many Have you read these NEW BOOKS by two prominent CHICAGO AUTHORS A BRILLIANT NOVEL FALL FLIGHT ELEANOR GIZYCKA "A vividly alluring novel.

Her subjects range from hats and bald heads to the reaction from slav- ery, and she has followed after them genially not trying to impose on them stringent form. Her silhouettes which illustrate the book add greatly to _its interest, A JEALOUS MOTHER. "The Feathered Nest" By Margaret Leech Horace Liveright "The Feathered Nest" does indeed, as its publisher's blurb suggests, "con- firm Miss Margaret Leech's high rank among our younger writers." Those who read "Tin Wedding" probably re- member it as a book Qf more than usual talent; readers of this book will find it an extraordinarily competent handling of a difficult situation, a nice problem of a jealous mother and her three sons and the various women with whom they fall in love. Isabelle For- ster took to money, when she married her rich husband, as a duck takes to water. Efficiently and soullessly she ordered her life, finding room in it for plenty of material things and a passionate adoration for her three sons, very little left over for the hus- band, who, as a tactful individual should, gets himself killed by a fall from his horse. That clears the way for Isabelle nicely, and she goes in her appointed triumphal course. Until her sons grow up and then came the inevitable conflicts with 'the "other women." Miss Leech carries her story through admirably without a slip, making of each of the sons an individ- ual, not wholly losing your sympathy even for a selfish and domineering woman.
