Colonel Holes was not a saint, as
he belonged to London at a certain
date. We see his attributes of strength
as well as his many weaknesses He
IS a flesh and blood characterization
He is victim of political tyranny be-
cause he was a member OF Crom-
wells army and the bill of indemnity
was only the original scrap of paper
to many patriots.
OF course, Colonel Holes was not
comfortable in London. He became a
hunted thing at the hands OF the

OF 1ashback like those used in the
movies. In his fashback, Sapatini

is then that we meet Nan. She Is

actress.
Sabatini leads his romance through
the alleys as well as the court OF
England, only to give as the setting
for the climax the great plague of
London.

England of the days when the
English court was more brilliant than
moral is pictured in Rafel Sabatini's
latest, fortunes Fool"
1t is a London without a soul that
is pictured in the days Of the Restora-
ton. Cromwell had become a memo
ry and a source Of pride to some and
a token of horror too others when
our story starts.
We had better get more acquainted
with the author of this book You
Will remember Sabatini as the author
of "Scaramouche" which treated the
days Of the French revolution in
Paris
Fortunes Fool Is a new publ
cation Of Houghton AIifTlin Company
and it is my opinion that this COM
pany has published masterpiece.
Here is an historical novel which
does not impress one as a classroom
treatise or an essay. but rather a a
fascinating tale Of adventure center
ing around Colonel HOLES, a soldier
of fortune.
Sabatini has chosen a period of
EuSlSn history WHICH IS rlCn IN Sill
uations. The court Of King Charles
Stuart was not a kindergarten. Its
Inmates or those close to the king en-
gagged in sports which were decidedly
off color. I relished on the stage THE
Beggars' Opera" and I can honestly
gay that I enjoyed every minute of
fortunes Fool
The first character you meet is
Martha Quinn. the keeper of Paul's
Head IN PaUls Yard, London. She
is described as a mother of six
sturdy children Of assorted paternity"
The author is not indicate but is
picturing an era in London Of which
the historians agree with Sabatini's
story. I believe that the author has
painted a vivid historical background
OF forgotten morals in Fortunes
Fool. In those days, men thought
more of their stomachs than their
souls.
1t Is this devotion to historical de.
tail that aids in giving natural color
to Fortunes Fool" The social con-
ditions of Restoration London is used

season promises to be a repetition.
Florence Johns, heroine Of children

only a rung or two beneath Jeanne

Beatrice Terry, as the selfish

Interestingly than I am doing.
I believe Sabatini has given US a
great historical novel in which certain
historical characters are easily recog.
nized. I am sure that each of the
304 pages will hold the interest of
every adult mind.
Fortunes Fool belongs to that
better class Of writing. He has an
easy and eloquent style. Each word
counts In his pictures. He does not
shock like Dumas, but he commands
attention by the very brilliancy OF
his theme and the manner OF express

One would think money at least
would be removed, but It isn't. One
dry-cleaner said that he found a

they were all 81 bills 1t was tidy

Rouge, np-sticks, powder puffs.

Powder puffs seem to be invading
