 'THREB COMRADES, by Gustav Frensen, author of "Holyland" and Jorn Uhl; published by Dana Estes & Co.,. Boston; $150; at all book stores.
 This work, one of the most powerful and sympathetic of this authors TO- mances, combines a beautiful and ab- sorbing love story with a character study of rare force and subtle insight Unlike his previous works, it does not advance anything new or radical on re- ligious or social questions, but limits itself to the wild portraying of life, love, labor, joy and sorrow of it's very hu- human and wholly interesting charac~ ters.
 It pictures at first the lives of three boys drawn together by association and the very attraction of their striking dissimilarity of character Later shows them grown to manhood, separated, and seeking each his own chosen goal, hampered and finally overcome by his own peculiar failings. Finally comes reunion at the crisis of misfortunes when each is able to bring to the as- sistance of the others his own particu- lar good qualities The whole is told in wonderfully vivid, simple style, which Frenssen's writings and throbs with real vital human interest throughout. It is a strong, satisfying story and most expressing.

I write scarcely line, but dictate the whole SO,OOO or 90,0OO words to my secretary n rather long instalments. Then, of l. course, comes the revision and later the 'eading and correcting of proofs.
