| ''The Grandee: A novel," By Ar
 mando Palacio Valdes. Translated
 from the Spanish. With an introduce
 tion by Edmund Gosse. The author,
 who is one of the most prominent of the
 Spanish authors of to-day, has given
 us a picture of society in a provincial | Spanish city. There is much of gaiety and humor to be found in it at first, and novel scenes and characters hold
 the readers interested attention. But
 the story grows more and more sombre,
 and the closing tragedy is most pain full. Yet the author claims that the re- venge of an unnatural mother upon an innocent and helpless child is neither | improbable nor overdrawn. As MT.
 Gosse suggests, the question whether
 such maladies of the soul are or are
 not fit subjects for the art of the novel, ist is a question which every reader
 must answer for himself. George
