Brand Wh;tlock has, says William
Dean Howells, written the best
American political novel that has ev-
err been done.' And this is high
praise. It is realistic picture, very
much after the heart of Mr.. Howells,
of politics in theMiddle West, and in
it's vivid characterization and relent-
less portrayal is, in spots, Balzaian in
color of presentation, showing up in
an exceeding high light the unstable
ity Of the alleged solid foundations
of our boosted democracy. Mr.. Whit
lock is a lawyer living in Toledo and
has recently written another novel OF
a somewhat different character called
"Her Infinite Variety.' Mr.. Whit
lock expects to spend the summer

Without doubt the most important
art publication Of the hour is Morti-
mer Menpes's "Whistler as [ Knew

Company, illustrated with over 100
full-page reproductions of Whistler's
oils, water-colors, pastels and etch-
ings besides the authors own studies
of the great artist. 1t is said Of this
work that,
"In this book Mr.. Menpes eddeav-
ors pungently, wildly and briefly to
make Whistler known to the world
at large as he himself knew him fif-
teen years ago. And it must be re-
membered that Mr.. Menpes knew the
artist absolutely at his best. He saw
and worked with him at the very ze-
NTH of that brilliant career, and at
the moment when Whistler was en-
gagged on his greatest masterpieces
Mr.. Menpes was at his side.
And it is a wonderful picture that
Mr.. Menpes, the artist, gives us Of
the great painter. We attain glimpses
into the life Of man, not a mere
wielder of paint-brushes; we are en-
abled in this book to realize the ex-
traordinary personality, the vivid, en-
during individuality, which was the
soul and spirit of all Whistler's life
and work.

Mr.. Carlisle's oloquence over the no
