Woman,s Home communion.

by Law Of Might.

The reader who desires modern
novel replete with incident, with
characters possessing vitality, with
situations vivid and purpose up
| to-date, will find in by Law OF
Might" story which fulfils in large
measure these essential demands. II
has. besides, a distinctive style, and
though at intervals trifle prolix
abounds in dramatic situations and
terse epigrams 1t is a book in which
.probably very few readers will be
disappointed, as unfortunately with
so much fiction nowadays
The vigorous motif, treating as II
does, certain phases of the sex ques-
ton under present conditions, and
handling that problem without
gloves, though with yelled satire for
the modern free-love theories, raises
IL at once from the realms of the
commonplace novel, of which the
public is so ineffably weary. At the
same time the true story teller's in
stinct, surrounding a plot, has suf-
ficed to warn the author from the
pitfall of over-emphasizing the prob
lem and minimizing the story.
The dollar mark and the scarlet
letter are inseparably linked in It's
daring expose of Wall street and
high life's marital infellcities, yet
the story is told with due regard for
decency and without the filth which
clings to books of a certain stamp.
Though full OF action wherein inter
est never flags, 1t is a novel that
makes one think, and that one should
be better, not worse, for having read.
