 Liye--COming New Books.
 "The Transgressions of Andrew vane," published by Henry Holt and Company, New York, is a new book by the lamented Guy Wetmore Carryl, and is by far the most ambitious work he undertook and likewise the most bril- liant. It is a novel of Parisian life. In '..Zut and Other Parisians'' he showed that he knew his Paris well, and in this new story he gives a picture of certain types of that curiously complex commu- nifty, the American colony in Paris His descriptions are excellent and the story is admirably told. The character most ably described and dissected is the astute and accomplished villain, who seeks to ensnare youth by the aid of his mistress, and who subsists upon his ill., gotten gains. Andrew Vane turns out to be the son of this scoundrel Thomas Radwalader. Andrew Vanes beautiful and accomplished young mother died of a broken heart soon after his birth. Her husband was a weak, superficial, educated man who, losing his wealth, sinks in the social scale, runs away with weak woman to Paris, and there sinking lower and lower becomes the tool of Radwalader and his agent in lur- ing and blackmailing fiedglings who fell in love with his accomplice, the beautiful cocotte Mirabelle Tremon- ceau. Andrew Vane, twenty years old, self-possessed and buoyant, arrives in Paris from his American home to see life abroad the funds for the purpose being freely and lavishly furnished by his grandfather an aged capitalist of large wealth. Andrew is speedily .se- lected by Radwalader for new victim and is soon brought into Mirabelle's so- ciety and under the fascination of her charms Herein lay the transgression. Andrew meets in Paris the beautiful American girl, Margery Palffy, who had already on Cape Cod shore awakened loves tender passion in his heart, and whom he despaired of winning, but who loves him in return. One of the power- ful scenes in the story is where Mira belle. soiled and depraved, yet dainty and fascinating and still beautiful, a healthy Camille. releases Andrew through genuine love for him and Rad- alader's blackmailing scheme fails in this instance utterly. Andrews trans gression and the manner of his re- demption are told with consummate te 1Ie tyoo 1xr f14-ith oh the story ends, and two deep dyed vil- lains pass on. Price $1.5O; for sale by < the F.

 The publication of Mr. Carryl's pos thumous work, "The Transgression of Andrew Vane," has aroused no little in- terest in the personality of it's author. Tn the present instance, the brief period between his death and the appearance of his book may, perhaps, lend some thing of interest to the pathetic cir cumstances attending his last days. Toward the close of February, MT. Car ryl barely convalescent from an attack of the grip, was suddenly summoned to New York by the severe illness of his father. Finding that a protracted stay would be necessary in the city, he made d uuTIleu LTD lU HIS ilOlilc3 lo1llSlS Blessedness," at Swampscott. to secure his unfinished manuscript. While there his house caught fire. He was ava kened by the smell of smoke, and the literary work of months was destroyed before he could do anything, so he con- fined his efforts chiefly to trying to save the house itself. His exposure at the fire. so soon after his sickness, the loss of his manuscripts, his depression and extreme anxiety about his father brought on a relapse, which twenty eight days later ended his promising young life.
 Guy Wetmore Carryl was the son of Charles Edward Carryl, of Dave and the Goblin" fame. He was born in New York in 1873, and seems to have inherit ted taste for writing, beginning with boys newspaper and continuing through his school days at Cutters, where he was one of the founders of the school paper. At Columbia college he was editor-in-chief of the Spectator" :" He left college in 1894, just before grad uation, to become one of the editorial staff of Munsey's Magazine. He left this work to go to Harper & Brothers, who in 1893 sent him to Paris as their foreign representative. He returned to America some four years ago, and de voted himself to serious literary effort, which continued unabated, even through his first days at the Roosevelt Hospital, where he died on April 1, aged thirty-one years. At the time of his death he had under way four or five manuscripts for as many different pub fishers the present story being the only one that was not destroyed when his house was burned.
 His previous writings include many contributions to American magazines, particularly Harper's, Golfers, Outing and Munsey's. His books are Fables for the Frivolous" Grimm Tales Made Gay" and Mother Goose for Grown Ups" all clever tales in verse; and sThe Lieutenant Governor" and "Zut and Other Parisians." A number of his magazine stories will probably be pub lished shortly in book form.
