sort of father, but a lightweight. Her soV Venresses departed like the roch rom David's sling.
 She is a tantaliziug, mischievous, un- ruly child, as pictured, but the reader loves her all the more, because she ls the product of misunderstanding anu the lack of any real love al home or anywhere else.
 Her romance, when if comes, the real one is delicious, told in a manner that both amuses and entertains. and the reader lays aside the book with con tented feeling that, after all. the poor little girl, with all the handicaps of parentage and training, IS really going to be happy Doubleday, Page & Company

 WHO IS IRANEZ? An introduction by Isaac Goldberg to Vicente Blasco Ibanez's Blood and Sand which E. ?. Dutton & Go. have ready for imme- diate publication, gives much interest ing information concerning the famous Spanish novelist. He writes with in sight, understanding and appreciation of the importance of IbaneZs fiction in the recent development and present status of the Spanish people and na- ton and what he says of Ibanez's per sonality throws a welcome illumination upon the pages of his novels. Of Iba- nez's work as a whole MT Goldberg says.
 | 'The renowned novelist is but fifty l two. energetic prolific, voluminous; i besides more than d score of novels thus far to his credit, he has written l several books of travel a history of | the world war, has travelled in both | hemispheres and made countless vol i tunes of translations. He has now q l larger audience than has been vOuch- i safed any Of his fellow novehsts, and 1 his future works will be watched for 1 by readers the world over"
 1 MT. Goldberg thinks that "one of the , secrets of the immense power eXer- cised by the novels of Ibanez is that ! they are the literary projections of his 1 dynamic personality His pen | as his person has been given over tC 1 humanity. He is as fearless in his l denunciation of evil as he is in his description of 1t; he has lived his ideas as well IS fashioned them into enduT- ing documents.

 Concerning Blood and Sand, whicl the Duttons are publishing in al American edition. MT. Goldberg say that it was written in 1908 and h. describes it as more than a colorful absorbing story of love and struggle. It is, he thinks, in it's picture of tn national sport of bull fighting ; stinging indictment brought agains the authors countrymen, thrown il their faces with dauntIess acrimony. Of the Spanish authors position as novelist. an observer and thinker h says: Once upon a time, and it va not so very long ago, it was the fash ion in certain quarters to regard Blasc Ibanez as impossible and utopian.
