RENE BAZIN' s. LATEST.

Davidee Dirot BY Rene Bszu. Trans
lated by Mary d, Frost. Published by
Charles scrbner's Sons, New York.
We have here the latest novel by
Rene Bazip, the famous French author,
held by many TO be the first Of living
French novelists. NJ, Baziu was a
member of the delegation which
visited this country the present year
to represent the French nation at the
Champain celebration. His reputc is
very high, and there is no doubt but
that as an artistic, skillful writer, he
is in the very forefront; but, after
all, his stories are apt TO lac rather
sordid. and 50 far as the incidents IN
them are concerned. commonplace, but
by his art and skill. Ba8in makes
them all not only presentable, but fas-
cinatipg stories. The heroine of the
present novel is forceful character,
who begins school teaching at an
early age and makes her way stnrdily,
but not without numerous difficulties
and mishaps; vet after all, the end is
pood and peaceful, and the story is
ono that, for the most part, is actual
life itself, and there the high art OF
this author shines supreme.

AS explained, the motif Of this play

that it existed only in tho imagination,
and that persons to whom We attribute
all sorts of evil motives and acts,

is, Strindberg eudeavors to show in
this play that men and women are not
so bad as they are painted. That is
a truism TO which every one eau lend
