book form. The story has attracted
marked attention, not only because it is
the first work that DIR. Mitchell has done
since his remarkably successful Hugh
Wynne," but on account of its own
intrinsic merit as we'll. The novel Is full
of adventure and picturesque scenes, and
many historical figures live again in its
pages. In "The Adventures of Francois
DIR. Mitchell has done much the same SER
vice for the French Revolution that he
did for the American Revolution Ia "Hugh
Wynne." The book will have fifteen fine

While America has been fortunate in
giving to literature many strongly drawn
characters from provincial life, there
have been few writers to portray the Gull
tivated society of the cities. Mrs. Burton
| Harrison has made this field her own.
| Her latest novel, "Good Americans"
which is to be published in book form
this autumn, is story OF New York life,
the scene being laid mainly in that city,
although it also shifts to New England
and the Orient. The characters are not
actual portraits, but they represent many
familiar types. In this story, as in all of
Mrs. Harrison's books, the dialogue is
crisp and bright.
| A new writer who sounds an entirely
new note In American fiction Is David
| GRAY. A collection Of his short stories,
under the general title of "Gallops," is to
| be published in a month or two. These
tales may be said to be sketches OF the
horse as a member of society. They are
all about horses, and are written for
those who love horses. The stories are
clean-cut, crisp and piquant, dealing
with life and character in circle of
society where stecplechasing and Cross.
country riding are the main diversions.
