PLAN TO BUY MONTICELLO
New Movement to Acquire Home
of Jefferson.
,ec;.y D;sn,tcb IN The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, November 4.-Vir-
ginia women are to make an effort to
purchase Monticello. the home of
Thomas Jefferson. near Charlottes-
willie. after several previous attempts
have been made by various organiza-
tions and for many purposes. Just to
what purpose the place may be put Is
not exactly clear, but the belief Is
that it will be made a shrine of the
nation and certainly Of the state.
There are $40 acres of ground in the
estate, which is one mile square, and
the house is sixty-flve feet wide and
one hundred feet long, much Of the
interior being the work Of men
brought here by Jefferson. At one
time there was a suggestion that the
state Of Virginia buy the property
and make 1t q home for President
Wilson for life. but that movement
did not receive the support neosssary.

THE THREE LOVERS. BY Frank
Sw1nnerton. author Of "Coquette."
etc. New York: George H. Doran
Company.
Frank Swinnerton specializes in
girls. He seems to possess an un-
canny hold on the workings of the
young girl mind. Many of his best
understanding. and this is merely an
other one. Not so much a story
either. as 1t is the study of par
ticular young woman who has enough
of the universal girl in her nature to
carry her over into general interest.
The foundation of this girl is the
firm conviction that she is different
from all other people--that there Is
in store for her some very special
reward for wholly exceptional gifts.
For instance, while she does no work
she is to have the rewards of a well
earned success. Again. while she is
nothing great in the way of intel
lect. she is to receive the honors of
genius. One is reminded here that
this Is a prepossession of the whole
human n, family and not of girls alone.
To get back to this particular person.
however one finds here only pretty
girl, with few superficial charms.
The three lovers one finds wherever
there are girls-one is in love with
love. another is in love with himself,
while the last one is really in love
with the girl, even though he refuses
10 accord to her the amazing quail
tiles in which she so wholeheartedly
believes. Just study, and Il very
intelligent study. of particular
species of the human.
THE WRECK OF EUROPE. By Fran
cesco Nitti. former prime minister
of Italy. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-
Merrill Company.
In the short opening chapter of this
study Italy's former prime minister
takes the stand as witness that con-
tinental Europe is in IA state of indus
trial. economic. financial wreckage.
that war, largely in fact and wholly
In spirit. is the present preoccupa-
ton of the continent. The corollary
of this evidence is that peace, just
peace, is the only hope of Europe.
Beyond the initial chapter the author
makes careful analysis of the trea-
ties or the peace conference to show
that in the origin and aim of each
OF these there is no inherency of
peace, but, rather. an urge to war and
more war. The action of this writer's
mind opens up the peace conference
TO the practical working out of its
most important deciSions--a working
out that stands. clearly. for the chaos
that exists in Europe today. Follow
ing the close analysis of the study
is an argument. if not a plea, for the
larger sense of justice that will in
clude the vanquished peoples to a fair
share in the plans for reconstruction.
Two years ago this would have been
condemned as pure pro-Germanism.
Today it is being accepted, not only
as just treatment. but as the means
probably the only means-of rehabili-
n hn rHlI l.
standing of this author as statesman
and economist gives to this frank and
vigorous discussion a high value in
the studies Of present policies and
projects for the revival of a sound
economic peace throughout the world.

that extent he hides himself. 1t is
only when he is alone-in that spe-

The talks touch here and there and
yonder as errant suggestion herds

hand. to an outline of Burroughs

a host of subjects. Deeply personal
