milan Co., Net0 York.
More than half a century of legal
practice by an outstanding attorney
and public figure is crammed into
these 2l8 pages, affordlng gllmpSeS
of eminent counsel, court procedure,
commentaries on the law and inter-
esting sidelights upon the flow of
life during that span.
Leaders in the law. including
Elihu Root. Charles O'Conor and
Joseph H Choate, find within these
pages apt descriptions. The book
bears the earmarkS OF learning
and practical experience. The New
York bar is portrayed by one who
has been one of its brightest lights,
and the human touch runs like
golden thread through the engroSS7
ing pages. The work is autobio-
graphical to a degree. from the au-
thor's youth in a New England
background to his achievement of
renown as a learned counsel at the
bar of Greater New York The null
titudinous changes that have come
to life and the law are reviewed by
the author-altogethe an enter
tanning eXperience-putting into
laymen's language the mazes of the
courts and the men who practice in
them. WILLIAM A. MILLEN.

York.
This modern love story is appr-
emily supposed to deal With 1891
but its society and its characters
are nearer TO the world OF 10 or
20 wears ago. And today, outmoded
by the hurly- burlv of the last few
wears. its function is only that OF
eScapism.
Since Miss Miller can no longer
draw the material for her novel
cites from any section OF actual
life, her stories become severely
typed. They can be no more than
mechanical limitations Of what
Scott Fitzgerald, Samuel Rogers
and she herself have done before.
Even the plot of the present book
has little ingenuity. In 1t, Rose
mary Mallard, the girl, though sur
rounded by a number of other pos
sible husbands, including Haynes
Hills. a wealthy young Washing
ton socialite. falls deeply in love
with jeff Lane. a well-tanned, salty
fellow whose principal vocation Is
to sail small boats. But complica-
tons ensue because Jeff is already
married. The matter is settled very
simply, however, as he Just gets a
divorce. and all ends happily
1t is hard to say. but the mod
ern" love story, being now both
dated and typed. seems destined not
to last much longer. And its
strange admixture of naivete and
sophistication will be- like The
Perils of Pauline or even Samuel
Richardson "Clarissa," only an
oddly of Yesterday.

& Co., Ne1O York.
The author of this book was
French military attache at Cairo
from the beginning of the war until,
dissatisfied with the policies OF
Vichy. he resigned last September.
His experience in Egypt evidently
qualified him to turn out an excel
lent work on his subject, At one
time or another he has met and
talked with all the important figures
in that part of the world.
He begins by giving just about the
right amount of detail from the
history of Egypt from its earliest
beginnings through the first World
War to serve as a background He
covers the uneasy period between
the two great wars and explains
Egypts peculiar position and how
it comes about that battles take
place on her territory while she
is nominally neutral. He tells OF
Fascist intrigue and the efforts of
| the Egyptian government to avert
war. He describes the British rout
of the Fascist armies in Libya. He
discourses also on Syria. In fact, he
gives a clear and authoritative pic
ture of the whole Near East. He
INDUCES in some speculation about
! the future, but not too much. Pri-
marilv. he tells fscts-and does 1t
| clearly. BASIL GORDON.
