interesting to the Americans who are

as follows:

the French clothes, naturally, pongee,
in it's undyed form, should take hrst
place among the Paris models. but the
dressnakers realize that women are
not prone to put this unbeconing shade
next to their skins, SO they have
brought out plafds and solid colors and
checked materials to throw about the
neck and at the wrists.
Every letter from Paris lays stress
upon the short wraps. They are made
like attenuated dolmans. They are of
chiffon, of the new glistening Egyptian
tissue, of satin lined or trimmed with
fur and of embroidered tulle. They re-
semble elaborated scarfs. Some Of them
tuck in at the waistiine in the back
and drop long in the front; others go
over the front of the figure in surplice
fashion, wrap around the waist and tie
with a huge hustle bow at the back.
They are worn in the afternoon over
thick frocks; they are worn in the
evening over half decollete frocks; they
separate jackets for street wear, and
they are seen at all the performances
in the theaters and at the opera, as
well as in the restaurants. They are
not removed. They are intended as a

whole top of the figure and gown will
be covered by short, draped, shirred
wrap with sleeves of cornfiower blue

There are dolmans of black satin
lined with fur, and others that have
bands of kolinsky or ermine which
form a collar and outline the long,
pear-shaped armholes that often serve
without sleeves. And again and again
the fur or the Egyptian beaded en-
broidery or metallic tissue is used to
hold in these short wraps at the waist
line and to form bow or ends at the
side or the back.

THE WHITE MORNING. BY Gertrude
Atherton. author of Mrs. Ralfame. -
etc. New York: Frederick A. Stokes
Company.
This is prophetic story. Its purpose
is TO project vision Of certain dawn
wherein the women of Germany
aroused. self-emancipated, united-de-
stroy the agencies of warfare and de-
mand the overthrow of government
that can make possible such war as the
one that is now waging. In sum, the
romance outlines a movement carried
forward by the German women toward
individual freedom, toward the reign of
an industrial peace, toward the common
ideals of democracy. The story pro-
crosses by way of the awakening of
the women through the leadership of a
woman-a young Prussian of the jun
ker class-who focuses the movement
in her own high spirit and in the quail
lty OF her own remuneration for the fu-
ture well-being of her country. 1t is a
dramatic invention. lifting to a finely
patriotic spirit and a noble purpose of
deliverance. Its background, a sympa- =
thetic and intimate picture of commo on
German life, is one with which Mrs.
Atherton is herself intimately famil-
lar. Yet, despite the obvious excel
lencies Of this invention one reads pro-
testing-for it is not conceivable that
the German woman-the kindly, thrifty,
subservient. child-bearing hausfrau-
will ever deny her thousand years of
compliance to revive a shadowy past of
legendary greatness. Mrs. Atherton
herself recognizes the implausibility of
her thesis by somewhat lengthy and
labored note. in which she points out
certain signs that are calculated to sup
port the consistency of this strikingly
dramatic story.
MADAME SAND, A BloSraphical Conn

Alfred A. Knopf.
A clever and amusing comedy. Each
OF its three acts presents that prodigi,
Gus woman-George Sand-submerged
in her two absorbing preoccupations-
love and literature. 'It is all rapture
and all rage and all literature" Henry
James says Of Sand in his remarkably
broad and penetrating study of the
woman. And it is in this character
istic blend of rapture and rage and
literature that Philip Moeier portrays
her through the medium Of this comedy

THE CITY OF THE DISCREET. By
Pho Baroja. Translated from the
Spanish by Jacob S. Fassett, jr. New
York: Alfred A. Knopf.
Industry and commerce are rapidly
building highway between the United
States and Latin America. The move
ment has been accompanied in this
country by keenly stimulated interest
in the Spanish language. So rapidly
has this interest grown that the United
States is already possessed of a fairly
free use of commercial Spanish, a use
that expands, naturally. into desire to
know the literary language of Latin
America and Of Spain as well. Alfred
A. knopf is taking measures to meet
this desire. Modern Spanish writer's
are being introduced to American read
ers through his publications. The ro-
nance in hand is story Of the old
quivir. Baroja is writer of the school
of realism. Therefore the city of Cor
dova builds itself again here in the
pattern of it's own verities of narrow,
twisted. tortuous streets; Of old houses
stepped in the customs of a domesti-
cally secluded people; with cleaning
patios opening here and there in pass
ing glimpses. And in this shimmering
setting he sets a tale of adventure. ii
which the natural son of a noble Span
lard and a peasant girl plays the chief
role. The common features of Spanish
life-the occupations and the diversions
of this group of Cordovans-stand out
whose aim is to present the life Of the
city as it is today. Raroja Is looked
upon as one of the foremost Of Spanish
writer's now living. This story, there
fore, both in it's substance and in its
manner. will make strong appeal to
those who are engaged in enlarging
their acquaintance with Spanish litera-
ture.
