The Third Estate" by Marjorie
Bowen, (I. II. Dutton & Company)
is n forccful and spirited story of the
French Revolution: The episodes OF
those troublous and soul-stirrinE times
form the background for supero
portrayal of the brilliant and cruel
Marquis de Sarcey and those men and
women unfortunate enough to cross
his path. The author has drawn this
tumultuous epoch with an intensity Of
vigor and romantic interest that raise
it from the dead ashes of prosaic
history to vivid drama of human
life.
