Irwin in her new novel writes of a set of characters In a set of circum stances such as we know nothing of on this side of the Atlantic. Her heroine Is Caro lln, of the ancient House of Pomfret. a Blrl trained In tho manners of the oldest school, educated from the books of edu cators of the sixteenth century and destined annarently to perpetuate tho House of Pomfret by marrying Into It exactly as all the men and women of this circumscribed old family hae done through all the cen turies since its beginning. Carolin has tho delicate beauty, the super refined exqulslto personality, the mechanical nrpclsion of conriuct characteristic or an the, Pomfret women. Tier childhood lias been tpent with very old people In the blt forest stage of decay: her young girlhood knows nothing of young people. She knows nothing of life except as a measure which she has learneo ny rule to ireaa wun sun ablo grace of action. A warm-souled musician seeks out her dormant human womanliness and with ad mirable boldness lures her out of the strange House of Pomfret Into love and happiness. Miss Irwin has created a dark, cobwebby atmosphere in her story that is keenly felt, and her character drawing-and personal detcription aro of unusual strength. 335S351CZiB59RSSS9B A New FLEMING STONE Detective Story THE MARK OF CAIN By CAROLYN WELLS Fleming Stone has become one of the great detectives of fiction and "The Mark of CalnT is one of the moat astound inff mysteries which he has ever unravelled.
