Iain's Novel About Con
ditions in Mexico
Michael Forth
By MARY JOHNSTON
"Miriam and I were happy. But still wc
saw the star some star that drew. Love must
go there. Love must broaden its beam."
"There will still be a 'then' and a 'next.'
How are you going to stop the impetus of you
and me?"
Here are the powerful themes of "Michael
Forth" lovo and immortality. The strongest
of human desires.
On a large and colorful canvas Miss
Johnston paints the story of the merging of the
Old South into the New and shows how the sons
of those who fell took up the reins of leadership
and worked toward the day when Hope should
once more be seen in the land.

use of chemicals. One of them builds
for himself a house near the mine, sur

dreamer sits in his office chnir, which is
so high that his feet will not reach the

While this is going on representations
are made to the government in Wash

Americans in Mexico. Instead they lire

but they drift back where their money
is invested in the hope thntthey can

the Mexicans disregard the diplomatic
notes from Washington. The Mexican
officials themselves, according 'to Mr.

they suppress their own source of In

One of the most whimsical and fan
tastic romances of years is "Aristokia"
by A. Washington I'ezet, well-known
author of short stories, playwright of
"Marrying Money" and for some yenrR
producing mnnnger of the Toy Theatre,
of Boston. Mr. Pezet has imagined u
highly unusual combination of persons
and circumstances for his romance,
which Ir very future If not quite futur
istic. K hns written it with sprightly
humor and much verse.
Some j ears after the conclusion of the
great war, according to the story, the
world was taken over by the proleta
riat, the prohibitionists and the women.
These rulers, however, decided to do
something handsome for the downtrod
den kaisers, czars, kings, capitalists and
such like. So they set aside a strip of
central I'urope. called it Aristokia, put
the aristocrats in it and let them do
ns they liked so long ns they treated
their servitors according to union riiles.
In Aristokia were maintained a lot of
old manners nnd customs of the year
11114. They nte good dinners, drank
good wines, wore prettv clothes nnd no
woman ever proposed to a man. nt least
not ostensibly. They still had divorce
courts and chaperons. "Aristokia"
speojs through the ndventures. amorous
andf otherwise, of an American male
beauty named Smith, who went to
Aristokia, got in wrong nil nround and
fell in love, against the rules, with the
most beautiful princess in all Aristokia.
Of course. Mr. I'ezet could not tell
this story without utilizing its obvious
satiric possibilities. So his fantasy is
nermeated with a vein of engaging
irony.
