The novel which, we recently recorded, was
left by Ouda at her death, turns out to be prac-
tically complete. The larger part of it was III
type before she died and awaited only her final
corrections. The Macmillans will publish 1t in
the fall They have not yet announced the title.

has recently made something of a sensation in
England. 1t is story of Sicilian life. called
"MarotZ," and the author is military officer
who writes over the name of John Ayscough"
This is the first book to bring him to public
notice. Fast the heels of its success he is to
bring out another novel entitled "Dromina."

erect memorial to the noted man of letters. A
tablet some such modest tribute is cOnceiv-
able, but the idea of a solemn monument to Fitz
Gerald somehow seems absurd.
