BOOK NEWS
"A Lost Lady" by WtIla Gather

This latest novel by the author whose sOne of Ours" took the Pulit- ger prize last year. is. in the faintest praise an interesting contribution t0 contemporary literature As one of the critics have said, there is some thing learned from the Russians in the manner in which Miss Csther has handled her story of the old railroad aristoeraey of the far Middle West. Mrs. Forester is the Lost Lady married to one of the grand old rail road builders in his middle age and her youth. The gradual decline of her character. the victim of vanity and weakness, as coutrasted with the bOulder-iike strength of her hus- bands Is the theme of the story. A Lost Lady' is more than merely well worth reading l. Is a first class American novel and while possibly not SO high on the list as "One of Ours" t maintains the authors growing reputation as one of the larger fgur- es in American fiction.
