"a Daughter of Eve is a novel by Ellen
0lney Kirk, author of THE Story of Mar
garet Kent" Riverside Paper Series: so
cents; Houghton, Miffiin & Co., Boston. 1t
is one of the best American novels of re-
cent years. A cal eful critic SAYS of it:
"Grsciously winning as was The Story. of
Margaret Kent brilliant and moving as
was the tale of Queen Money we'are
strongly inclined to say after reading A
Daughter of Eve,' that the author has at
tanned to still more gratifying artistic tri-
umph than in the case of either of the
other two novels we have mentioned.
Briilianey, sparkle, and wit a Daugh-
ter OF Eve has in abundance, but ii also
has definite ethical motive treated with
inimitable taste.''
