country is developing a native fiction
of It's own. Seventeen years ago, when
the Anglo American copyright act was

British novelists We're buoyed up with

this request from that champion OF

that in the years since the book APP

also said that liberal thinkers must be

"The Golden Rose" is the title of a
new novel by Amelie Reeves Just pup
lished by the Harpers. This deiicately
emotional story portrays an exquisite
woman who is dominated by a mystical
belief concerning the highest relations
of lovers. which denies for herself, at
least, the fulfilment of love in marriage.
This strangely spiritual creed has been
engendered by the misery of former
unhappy marriage, which has, never
theless, not been able to destroy the
woman's faith In love itself. The scene
Is laid in a beautiful country estate In
,nIdsrmmer. in the woman's own home,
a mansion set among shadowy lawns
and odorous gardens. and filled with
tender memories.

This is because OF the decision late

TO be good law, in which IT is main
tanned that the adulteration is mis-
