Like the old-fashioned British nov

detailed account Of her childhood
which was spent chiefly on the fam
lily country estate in Scotland. That

l. Y e. ed. much discussed auto
biography has finally been
made available in book form for
American readers by the George H.
Doran Company. Mrs. Asq'iith orig
irally announced that the motto for
her book would be "As Well Be
Hanged for Sheep as a Lamb" and
it was generally understood that she
intended to shake the social world OF
Great Britain to its foundations by
making some startling revelations.
On the whole the book is more con-
scrvative than some Of its advance
notices, 1t is q very frank piece of
self analysis; Mrs. Asouth holds
hack very little Of her early life and
dvells on her good qualities and had
qualities at considerable length But.

and spicy anecdotes throughout the

literary group with which Mrs. As
