A BOOK OF SKETCHES
ABOUT A FRENCH WOMAN

Madeleine has nothing to reproach
herself with. Hers was rational mar
riage. She was not in love with her
husband, but she was his devoted friend
and when he died she sincerely mourned
his loss. There was once another man.
He passed soon without disaster.
Madeleine records "He Is now consOled
and married, far from France. l have
never seen him again and ! do not de-
sire to. When he had gone my heart
was like the ocean after a storm; the
great waves had ceased to rise, but all
along the horizon surged swells slowly
subsiding." They subsidized altogether
and Madeleine at 35 Is merely a spec
tator of life, with no wish to be any
thing more.
The little sketches are concerned with
such matters as Paris in autumn, fiat
hunting. women at sales beauty secrets,
friendship among women, women and
their dressmakers, justice to men, the
Joys Of travel. taste and color, pin
money, the futurists. an air by Schu-
mann, a beautiful autumn day. There
are nearly forty of them in book Of
moderate size and large and open print.
A publishers notice says that there arc
threads of autobiography In these
sketches 1t may be. then, the mirrored
vision seen by Madeleine Ii not merely
fanciful.

She seats herself at her old mahogany

glass. All II pretty well. The vision
that smiles at her between its braids Of
parted hair has still no wrinkle. The
