GLAMOUR. BY w. b. Maxwell. Indi-
annapolis: The Bobbs- Merrill Co.
This book. the work OF a we'll
<nown English novelist, contains
much material for serious reauing
and elaboration. To begin with,
there Is little in it to fiatter the
vanity OF the male reader--it is
essentially the story of the action
OF two opposing forces upon Bryan
Vale, playwright. These two forces
are personifled oy two women, each
of whom is a stronger character
than Vale, who Is at best the in
strument on which their emotions
are recorded and visualized.
Following love affair with
Diana, the woman who forever
after exercises glamour over
Vale, Mr.. Maxwell builds up a pic
ture of domestic bliss around the
marriage of Bryan and Mabel which
apparently leaves no room for the
intrusion of the third member Of
the triangle. Follow many pages
devoted to the chronicle of the rise
to fame and fortune OF Vale, much
of his success being duo to his wife.
To all intents and purposes, the
couple lead an ideal existence, and
there seems no cloud on the marital
horizon. Surely 1t would appear
that in his endeavor to show that
Vale owes all to the encourage
ment of his wife. Mr.. Maxwell
leaves no opening for the intrusion
of Diana into the affairs of Vale.
Then the amazing fellow, by a
cleverly conceived series of events.
makes 1t appear the most natural
thing In the world that Diana
should appear rs the tempter and
that Vaiie should respond to her
lure.
The book cannot be read hur-
riedly or lightly. Replete with rich
descriptions OF English social life
and wildly drawn characters, IL is a
high-powered melodrama, bordering
on tragedy at times. 1t is saved from
that traGedy.by family confess
sional in unusual circumstances and
MabePs keen insight into the heart
OF her husband. Some may, per-
haps, wonoer why Vale did not
marry Diana in the beginning. but
then there would have been no
story, and after all, the story's the
thing especially when II contains q
plot to grip the interest of every
reader, and start those same read-
ers into serious discussion of the
merits or the book.

The bureau, she said, has nothing
to do with melting out punishment
to feminine offenders. That is the
function of the courts, and one OF
the most emphatic "don'ts" i'm
pressed on a newly-appointed po-
licewoman by the director is eau
ton against ever attempting under
any circumstances to exceed her
authority and trespass in the do
main of the courts. Mrs. Van
Wrinkle spoke in hearty praise of
the District judges and their atti-
tude toward the woman police.
Our dealings with the courts are
most gratifying" she said, land we
can never fully make known our
appreciation of the chivalry and
courtesy displayed toward us by the
judges of the District. They are
always willing to give favorable
attention to our recommendation
and we are invariably accorded re-
spectful treatment when we appear
in court. Again and again we re-
ceive some especially kind atten-
ton in the courts. and our debt of
gratitude to the manly men who
preside in our tribunals Is constant
ly increasing.
Judge Hardison, by the way, was
so kind as to visit the bureau when

The picture OF Leon responding
TO that call took visual form before

she would do under similar circum-
stances; to fight to the last drop
of her blood for America that
would be q privilege, but to do bat
tie for the land of the knout and
the pogrom--that was another
thing. And her father had sa d
almost with a prayer that he would
hate to send a son of his on such
an errand.
But to Leon these thoughts came
not at all. for on the surface there
were no actual indications that the
United States would be drawn into
the conflict
Only he saw the girl OF his heart
