MIDAS&SON,etc.
A novel of London social and political life today which
easily touches the high level set by SONIA, the book by,
which McKeima won so many admirers in America.
Sonia marries O'Rane, who, blinded in battle but uncon
quered, romantic, quixotic to a fault, settles down with her
in a London house which becomes the center of a whirling
smart set. The reader, swept away on a relentless current
of society, becomes a fascinated witness of a strange drama
of human love and hate and forgiveness. Mr. McKenna
has never shown so deep a penetration into the hearts of
men and women, his art has never borne a harder test. He
has achieved a remarkable and absorbing story of a metro
politan society life that has been stirred to its very bottom
by the past five years.

plains that he chose the title in order
to show that the book makes no claim
to be up-to-date. The tales included
weie written, he says, to show some
thing of the extent of the wrongs suf
fered by the Krench people. in the war.
but be remarks there is no such need
now. ,, , , , , , ,
The book bus all the . harm which is
associated with wunt the brilliant Irish
man writes. Although the tales are
mere episodes, they have a dramatic
quality which moves the reader. In
spite of the i-enituk of tlie author, that
there is no need of exhibiting tho
wrongs of the 1'ieuih people, many per
sons are disposed to forget what (ier;
many did. They cannot forget if they
