A Book a Day
The "Winds of Love" Tetralogy Improves

It Is pleasant to be able to soy that "The South Wind Of Love, " by Compton Mackenzie (Dodd, Mead: $S), second volume of Mac kenSie's proposed tetreiogy, "The Four Winds of Love-" Is much su- perior to the first volume ("East Wind of Love") reviewed here some months ago.
 Tn the second volume, tho prin- cipal characters, John Ogilvie and Julius Stern, are returning to Eu- rope from the United States, where they have been producing an opera. Immediate concern of John Is to terminate his love affair with the wife of c French officer.
 The outbreak of the World war solves this problem, but creates iil- tinitely more difficult situations to Do met by John, Edward Fitzgerald, Julius and his brother Emil Stern.
 Locale of the story shifts from America to the Russia of the rev. olution, to the Aegean Islands. No matter what the geographical To- cation, adventurous action sounds the keynote of tho novel.
 The panoramic picture of the war years and the two years pre-. ceding them, as seen through the eyes of c sensitive man, is very well done indeed. These years were sharply defined and set of, an era of Jabberwocky, and the handling of them as just that Is . triumph Of perception. iE Wf
 twelve years have passed between tho close of the first volume and the beginning of the second, and that period of time has been ad- mriably and suhtly bridged by the author. The intense Aliglicism of the first volume hes bee nmodifed here, c great improvement, and the char. acters come alive far more vividly than before. One is curious to know what came next to MT. Mackenzie, for he is obviously his own here.-- n. M. T.
