THE SIN OF GEORGE WARRENER- BY
Marie Van Worst, author of Amanda
OF the Mill" sc. New York: rhe Mae
milan Company.
Miss Van Worst touches the actual condi-
lions OF modern life in whatever she writes.
She is intensely in sympathy with the man
and woman who are trying in these strenu-
Gus days to keep up the pace which society
imposes. Recognizing the tendency of the
time toward specialization and toward the
adoption Of false ideals and standards, she
strives through her fiction 10 offset il Inv
describing the dangers of the feverishIv
Idle lifa of many of the women who do
not find in the home the field of their best
endeavor.
In George Warrener she presents the type
of the men of mediocre ability forced by
circumstances and his necessities into a
phase OF activity foreign to his capacities
He is not designed by nature for a sue
cessful career save as a mere wage Garner
on small scale. His conception of hap
piness is limited. his temperament Is un-
suited to the strife of independent fortune
making He is too weak to withstand temp
tation. He gets over his depth. The oper-
atinE cause of his struggle and his fall is
his love for the woman he has married,
never his wife in the best sense. never cap
able of approaching even his small merits.
The first man of attractive personality VINO

In Bartholdi's studio-hotel In the Rue

Want to know what to wear what to
say. what to do at tea or a reception or
a wedding or on motor tour or at gar
den party or on a street car or in the
various phases of modern life! Want TO
know all this? Then consult the celebrated
Gideon wurdz, who has already displayed
his wisdom in the writing of the Foolish
Dictionary and has made name for him
self which is now confessed to be other
than that his parents bestowed upon him.
Mr. Towne as he Is when he is not writ
ing nonsense books. knows a thing or two
about modern society. He has deivsd into
1t rather deeply. He has discovered the
roots of many foliies. and he now preseribes
some rules which. IL followed closely, VIII
cause a sensation. But even though the
reader may be inclined to laugh at these
eomieal suggestions he may, perhaps, learn
something between his vaccinations. Inc

illustrations are opposite and clever.
