hunters out of Africa tell of native children
carried off by lionesses and afterward recovered
unharmed
This is the story OF a white child in Africa
adopted by lionsss bereft of her cubs and Of
the rearing Of that child to the ways of its
foster mother and her order hard story
and acceptance. But the author so we ara
told has spent the most of his life learning the
lion lore of Africa. And, certainly, he reads
just that way. The protective instincts of the
beasts, coupled with the aptitude of the little
human, serves not only to create an animal life
for the boy. but to a2vance him as leader of tho
pack, just step ahead of it by virture of that
little spark of the man within him. This Pc
riod of learning to be a lion reveals fund
of information about the king of beasts About
his modes of life, forays for food and other
phases OF domestic economy as it discloses also.
the many short cuts between the human and
what is pleasingB called the lower animals.
In the course of time the boy is rescued to
his own kind The story becomes interesting
through the young mans love for a woman
and through the many almost irresistible i'm
pulses and drives that beset him to return to
the many and glorious freedoms of the African
wild life
hard story to hold, within any ordinary
time limits, to the scope of its delevopment
from human infant to animal and back to
human nature and feelings as well. Most
Interestingly done, however This, in part, from
the writer's familiarity with Africa and its
wild life, in other part from his admirable
gift Of invention that is both dramatic and
consistent.

MARIETTA. BY Anne Green. author of '"rhe
Selbys" etc. New York: e. P. Dutton &
Co, Inc.
IF Anne Green has not, yet, surpassed her first
! novel, 1.-The Selbys," she has made plain
that its two successors have passed her, clean
skirted beyond the dtch-line of a "one-novel
author" THE Selbys" set pretty good mark
for this young woman to maintain. The sec
ond fell below that mark. a little. AS if
the readiness of the first success had bred an
unsteadying excitement in the mind and hand
of Anne Green. But here she is with another
novel that lifts distinctly above the second one.
Marietta"
Again in good sense Miss Green holds to the
background of France, Paris with which she
has already established herself so securely.
Southern family, in Paris. Marietta one of the
two daughters of that household. Here, the
groundwork of the romance.
Only the other day heard the girl Marietta,
named a devastating character" charmer
of magnetic emanations paralyzing to the
males all around about. Nothing of the kind.
Neither Siren nor Circe much more difficult
matter. the modern girl instead The seduc-
tions of Cleopatra and Salome and the rest OF
the ancient gang have gone to formula, easy
to rewrite. But, to turn girl OF the day in
side out deftly and completely, without mutt
lation or other Disagreement, this is indeed
work Of artistry, not far short OF wizardry.
And that is the triumph of Anne Green in
Marietta" A selfish girl, inside Every pretty
girl used to the admiration of males is selfish
inside She wants it all Naturally. Coveting,
planning, achieving-all inside mind you-are
latitudinous activities with the girl of the
new day. So, Anne Green dives into Marietta.
Triumphant she emerges, smiling and gay. No
preacher, Anne Green. No Puritan. And, II
Marietta comes to grief as she unqualifiedly
does do, it is not by the hand of this young
writer. Rather by her own hand by her own
inner self working out through the easily pene-
trable accommodations of modern life to the
courage and daring of modern youth
most interesting story thoroughly fine
piece of work, wherein Anne Green. using,
again the engaging background of France
with which she is so familiar reproductively
familiar displays competency OF insight, q
sympathy Of seizure, an artistry in rounding
elements to a dramatic sequence Of distinct
appeal Anne Green is. clearly, on her way
in her own special line of novel writing.

seemingly loose one. hard to set to pattern
and limits. Elinor Mordaunt, however, knows
about that. And she would be one of the last
to undertake an uncapturable subject.
So here at first a little boy and girl meet

mother, season tenants of the 'oug-low' down

He was that kind of boy and man. Where

tragedy as it moves forward. Forward years,
to another chance meeting, at a station
maybe, between the two. Grown now. And
at the hurried leave-taking the girl said, I'm
going to be married tomorrow" And away
for more years Of separation where hardly
yet any real acquaintance had been made.
Years away with the husband, of in Africa,
with only an old nurse for affection and stand

the husband and the wife accused. An
other meeting between the twc-and so the
story moves by these sudden and passing con-

lad for the little girl u the bug low" toward

with places the world over, Elinor Mordaunt
makes these serve her in picturesque realism
for the purposes of romance. Sharp of sight
and insight, the same lady walks straight to
her goal, with no meanderings her own part
nor on the part of the story itself vigorous
writer, compact of good and good art,
