ary." declared the latter. Ellis only
hope in bringing the suit was to see
Miss McMmay and win her again,
When he found that be could not even
zee her he was broken hearted. 70
Is a very sad experience for "a young
man of his type, and he Is going away

DELPHINE De SABRAN
A Romantic Heroine Of the
French Revolution.
Paris, April %.


Dephine dc sabran CMarquise de
Custine). who was born in l770 and who
died in 1925, was one Of the most beau
tiful. fascinating and impulsive women
Of her time. After the death Of her
husband General de Cuisine, who was
guillotined in 1874, she was left with her
little boy OF three years old amid the
Partisan Revolutionary whirlpool Fort
unately, the young widow Of twenty
four, who had the appearance Of a girl
Of sixteen, exercised irresistible charm
upon all who came IN contact with her.
Her sentimental friendships were
many and famous. Among her most
ardent admirers were the Chevalier de
Fontange, Foucht, the Minister Of Po-
lice. General dc Beauharnais, and
Chateaubr.and, who was her last and
most linton "grande passion"
NJ CASTOR Maugras who has written
upward Of twenty excellent works bear
ing upon the intimate life of prominent
men and wome Of the latter part Of the
eighteenth century. including the Due
de Lauzun Voltaire, the Duchesse dc
ChoiseuI, Nine. d'Epinay and Chevalier
De Boutiers, has, with the aid Of his
amelted friend. Comte De Croze-Le-
mereier. collected many family letters
and papers Of very great interest de-
scribing with delicious frankness, humor
and wit Partisan society during the Rev
oiutl0n and Directory. Delphine was on
friendly terms with Nine. Tallien and
with Nine. de Buonaparte, ci-devant

no brilliant galaxy Of his fellow authors

his work. but, on the whole, he wears
far better. even when read in rapid sue
ceesion. which Is the severest test that
n novelist can undergo. or course. when
REFUSED in this way, his stories betray
certain tricks Of humor and their repc-

The fundamental ingredient Of histori-
cal romance is, and apparently always
must be. the love between a brave man
OF one faction or country and far
daughter Of the other. 1t is SO in this
book. but with a difference. for Miss Dix
has succeeded in inventing an altogether
satisfactory variation on this meme
COnHu Her hero, too, has his measure
Of originality within the type, for ne is
a German soldier Of fortune, doughty
duelist, who with unerrlng skill merely
pinks or kills outright his opponent, &C
cording TO the magnitude Of his Offence"
This sprig OF German nobility soft
spoken. slender, almost bOyish in appear
ance and behavior, contrasts tellingly
with the cavalier rufflers among whom
he comes with a letter 10 the Black
Prince. although he casts IN his lot WITH
the Roundheads The author is not con-
cerned with history, merely with an his
tor,c background and atmosphere. Thu
adventures she retails might just as well
have happened in the France Of the SIX
tconth century as in the England Of the
seventeenth. which, by the way, marks
the difference between historical 70
nance and the historical novel proper.
For the rest, lovers Of this kind Of nc
ton will find here all that they can de

begins when Newport is reached. It Is
an entertaining bit Of light fiction, which
