lleerend Thomas Dixon, author of "The
Clansman," In hl new noel, "The Way
of a Man," which the writer subtitles
"A story of the new woman" Fem
inist philosophy of the advanced school
tinges the tale. The heroine Is u typi
cal feminist, editor of a radical period
ical devoted to the liberation of man
kind from the thrall of convention"), In
theory, and In absolute Independence for
women, In practice, as tlio platform of
hnpplness for the sex. Cllcn West has
Rreat beauty and great brain power.
Also she has very decided theories aa to
marriage, home, tho place of women In
the work of the world and tho ruling
thereof. When love conies to her at
twentj -seven sho Is not cvactly ready
for It and certainly not ready to jleld
her pet theor'ee and policies for a man
no matter how tine and capable, and
the man who has excited her lovo Is
both. Ho refuses to share In her views
of social relations. This provides the
conflict of wills which forms the drama
of Mr. Dixon's fiction. Compromises
provide the solution.
Kllen and her lover are outstanding
and Interesting figures, debaters pro and
con, on woman's place In boclety and her
rights and privileges under the new dis
pensation The subsidiary characters
are In some cases slightly veiled sketches
of some of tho Important leaders In,
women's movements. As In all Mr. Dix
on's fiction there Is a touch of propa
ganda, with arguments supporting the
author's views. In this book It Is the
menace of 'the spirit of restlessness to
social institutions.

TALE OF GORE

Death in "Lady From

A delightfully bloodthirsty heroine,
who babbles with tho most charming
sangfroid of shooting off tho villain's
car, enlivens tho pages of Victor
Bridges s "The Lady From Iong Acre,"
a tale profusely strewn with gore and
gunpowder.
This rattley-bnng enterprise In fiction
Is reminiscent In spots of one of the
Urjustark novels. It brings In an Imag
inary principality peopled with fire-
Lbreathlng statesmen who are deeply con
cerned uh to who shall be king.
They're the only ones who seem to
care, although our heroine Is quite de

give a hang who known it indeed, tlio
story Is based on the dear girl's efforts

The Drama of a Soul
"Ihe Mirror and the Lamp." the first
book by W. B. Maxwell for four years
which he spent in France on tho firing
line Is a very serious and substantial
novel, and one that will excite a good
deal of discussion In England as well
as possibly among Anglican-minded
Americans It Is literally the drama of
a soul, possibly the movie of a bouI,
since In form It Is a berles of dissolving
views recording the progress of L'dunnl
Churchill, a temperamentally religious
lad who lakes orders In the Church of
England. Mr Maxwell chronicles and
annlvzes his psychology under var.vtng
conditions, his curacy In a sordid Hast
End parish, his leanings toward candles,
lncenfco and estmenls, his radicalism of
political economy, his ascetic celibacy,
and his love for the abused wife of u
pietentlous and rough labor leader.
Somber In quality, minus sensation and
ei.clteinent. none the less the novel holds
the reader enthralled by Its keen In
sight into human nature and Its human
touch It Is the sort of book that
Charles Klngsley might have written
and enjoyed writing.

MYSTBRYg
tHe ipFLOOR
By LEE THAYER
A double twisted mystery story, set in New
York City, with a fascinating lore theme
that is really a part of the story. The prob
lem is, not only who killed Lawyer Stone
as he sat in his office within a few feet of
clerks and stenographers, but how could
he have been killed at all under the
circumstances. The mystery challenges
the most ingenious and resourceful reader
to solve in advance of the conclusion.
"K capital story." Philadelphia Ltdgmr
"One of the best rcyttery novels of the year."
Boston Recent
"It thrills and thrills again." Philadelphia Pre
"Unusually ingenious in plot, and unusually mystifying'.''
