again. She had left her husband for love of another man; and when Miss Harraden works in another all s-well-lost- for-sake-of-loVe business, it's a slight strain on our belief in Harriets method of loving being superior, to say the least
 Harret's new lover was a Polar expIor- CT. He loved Harriet very dearly, but, of course, her past came up to block for the nounce any marriage. For Harriet bravely tells her lover Che new one) all her past, and he responded, nothing 10th to be in the game with ugly stories of his own: so the reader will. in a way, lose q bit of the romance in the story, Miss Harraden intended putting there.
 But the real thing in the story Is the endeavor to show the seething unrest among the women of the day. This is done through the courage and defeat of pretty, witty Margaret. Harriet's compan- ion, who lost out in her search for happi- ness. Harriet seemed to corner, literally, most of the good lovers in this book; some women are selfish that way.
 Margaret wanted to vote, too. and do 8 lot of things which women are not per mitted to do at the present tme but her principal fight was against domestic tyranny. especially that of woman over woman. Margarets sweet and amiable mother attempted to crush every bit of the Individuality out of her daughter
 The story is really brief for the plain- tiff on the value of liberty, for the happi- ness and development of women
 All the new movements, particularly those that effect women at the present time, come into this book for discussion, even the right of suicide is claimed.
 You will get a good bit of helpful thoughts out of this new book of Miss Harraden even if you do not agree with her In all or anything she says. She has written charningly, which covers most things, good or bad in book, and, ''Interplays" will please, which is say ing a great deal.

Comrades" by Thomas Dixon, Jr.
 Doubleday. Page & Co.)
 Mr. Dixon has done his worst to the negro question in this trilogy, composed or ."The Leopards Spots." ''The Clansman and '.The Traitor. t You can't lose MT. Dixon; it is impossi- ble to misplace him in any connection as to a discussion of the subjects that have worried, or at least gave much mental work to the big minds of this and other countries
 Anything coming up which hasn't as vet been settled by the thinkers of the United States-Jwhy there is no trouble about that! MT. Dixon will write a novel about 1t and all remains well; quiet on the Potomac and all that sort of thing. Mir Dixon is Johnny on the agreed upon meeting place; he declines to be lost Tn any way and if people who read his books positively decline to accept MT. Dixon seriously 1t is not his fault, surely not hut the fault of the reader, who is either incapable of digesting good things or who is in a conspiracy against such success as has come to this sensational, yellow novelist.
 The new book of MT. Dixons was pub lshed on the 18th of January. Before this book left the presses there were sold 25,000 volumes.
 Comrades IS story or soclsi re'oiu- tion in California; really 1t Is an attempt to make fun of and laugh at the claims of the Socialists as to most of them having earnest desires for the much sought and struggled for Brotherhood of Man.
 The error in all of Mir. Dixon's books is the suedo-plausibiity of them all. Like news and facts handled by the yellow press of the East, there Is always lust sufficient truth in all the yellows, in- ,cluding Mir. Dixon's effusions. upon which to base false argument And it is the treatment, so called. which MT. Dixon and his yellow brethren give the facts which dresses or mattresses, as the case may be, the story CT argument in almost 3any shape that the writer wishes. It is really just another case of proving things

worthy production.
 Interplay" by Beatrice Harraden. (Frederick A. Stokes & Col Everybody recalls Ships That Pass in the Night" which made Miss Harraden famous to a more or less extent, quite a little while ago
 The Bromdes of that day could sim ply not desist from inquirlng as to whether you had read that book; just some of them do about well, never mind. Ships That Pass in the Night" was the forerunner of much in the f1eshy-schoo- of fiction, for which we now have much reason to be ashamed, food ing towards us as those innumerable books do. But Miss Harraden's book was a gem of it's kind. Since she wrote that book, there has been nothing from her pen which counted much, other than this new book, Interplay" which is worthy and interesting and has much in 1t that is good indeed. The glamour of Miss Harraden's great success mentioned above was responsible for an awful time this reviewer experienced when he at- tempted to enthuse, believing 1t his duty to the high-brows, over "Hilda Stafford, story of California life, the 'lungers" and so on. But he was too close to the scene of the story, to the '1ungers," to admit it's true-t likeness.
 Now comes 'Interplay'' which is first rate.
 Harriet, the heroine of the story, beautiful woman. has married man for money. She couldn't stand up to her bargain when a handsome chap came along, so she ran away with him. As long as the handsome lover lived the husband declined to divorce Harriet. So soon as the lover died in Italy, the husband secured a divorce But Harriet was rich and she loved very well, if not wisely; in the eyes of society. The dead lover left in her charge 8 half-witted brother who caused Harriet much trouble in his looking after. An old school friend, Margaret, a much advanced woman, was found by Harriet in Frisco. practicing all kinds of deceit and business, get rich-schemes on which to make a living.

 Miss MacGowan, however, has in her latest book done very charming piece of work. The whole book Is interesting; i; the author knows the people and the country of which she writes and all in all her new book is one of the best of it's kind published in a long time.
