THE New York Key Note will shortly
begin the publication Of M. French
Sheldon's novel entitled Our Tangled
World. It is a modern story OF fssci-
mating interest, and characterized by
all the higher attributes Of the re-
alislic school. 1t will institute, in
fact, a good Datured but pungent satire
on the foibles and ahams OF our
modern life. The undeniable psyche
logical influence that dominate the
currents OF 80 many lives, will also be
incidentally demonstrated in that
keenly incisive fashion peculiar to
this new and accomplished writer,
who, like q bril- liant meteor, has sud-
denly appeared in the literary firma-
ment and created so great a sensation,
For power of language, perfection OF
detail and marvellous insight into the
mystery of human life, M. French
Sheldon stands alone; dramatic in
stinct, fertility OF invention, and in
structive ingenuity also distinguish
the labors OF this exceptionally gifted
author.
