One of the finest living writers
of English prose has written a
great love story, story that never
falters in\ it's pace or suspense, in
it's power Of characterization or its
glowing recreation of detail. There
is the excitement of scientific ex-
ploration, the rush of terrifying
events and the growth of two
human souls from insensitivity to
the world and to one another, to
maturity and hope and transcen-
dent love through sacrifice.
go the first fine novel of the
new fall season, and one of the
most poignant stories of recent
time =" This Is rare writing
which should not be missed.
HOUSE OF LEE
Gertrude Atherton
This fine novel of today and to-
days problems will be of intense
interest to modern readers who are
aware of the challenge of chang
ing times. Mrs. Atherton brings to
the story all her fine ability to
create character, her skill as a
story-teller, and her keen know
ledge of woman's position in the
world today.
1.-THE House of Lee," is set in San
Francisco and is the story Of how
a mother, her daughter, and grand
daughter are forced to adjust their
lives in the face of declining in
come and social disturbance. The
House Of Lee has been for genera
tons the home of a wealthy and
aristocratic San Francisco family.
When the novel opens it is inhab-
tied by three women: Mrs. Eding-
ton; her daughter, Mrs. Lee; and
Mrs. Lees daughter, Lucy. Mrs.
Ellington, a woman of society, is
the matriarch Of the clan, once the
grande dame now devoted particu-
larty to her clubs. Mrs. Lee is q
society woman, a fine bridge play
err much sought after for her
charming social graces The grand
daughter, Lucy, a young girl, a
Junior Lacquer, rebels against the
aristocratic traditions that have
been uncompromisingly handed
down to her, and before she mar
ries wishes a career to prove her
independence.
The financial back ground of the
House Of Lee is swept away. The
problem of the story is how these
three generations Of gentlewomen,
unframed in business, find places
for themselves in a new world in
which their financial underpinn.
ing Is lacking. How they do this
without sacrificing their position
as gentlewomen makes an engross-
ing novel which convincingly de-
monstrates that Gertrude Atherton
is one of the foremost American
Authors writing today.

We are especially pleased with this story because
it comes from a reader to whom our writings on
neighbors has been tangibly asserted in personal
experience. 1t needs no more introduction. Other
than the fact Mrs. v. G. Wedge, of Portland, Ore

daughter. Ruth break an ankle; and her sister in
serious fall under observation for skull fracture,
come out of the ordeal with broken left wrist and
a broken right thumb which became infected.

follow:

struggling with the infected finger which hurt at
every touch and the doctor who jerked, twisted
and pulled Ruths ankle until it seemed if it would
break. After eleven weeks on crutches, her ankle
