After n long literary silence follow
ing the succes of her first novel. "Mr.
Cushlng nnd Mile, du Chastcl," Mrs.
Frances Uumsey again enters the
lists this time with "Accent" (Bent

summed up as an Introspective novel
burled in words.
In her attempt te detail the mental
turbulence of a willful, strong, willed
American woman, Mrs. Ilumsey has
Inundated her story, her characters and
her aiguments in a flood of metaphys
ical argument that leaves thc readcr
floundering.
Olive, the woman, Is raised by a
doting grandfather in his atheistic pre
dilections, and starts life embittered,
selfish and ct seeking some spiritual
selate whose existence she will net nd
mit. A Cathel'c priest and a self
sacrificing hii'.band are the most Im
portant factors in her mental wander
ings which end nt the goal of death.
What climax, dramatically, there Is
In the sterj comes as 011c is about
te give herself te her lever. On the
way te Paris she watches two compan
ions who nre gazing out nt sea. Then,

gift of participation, of its debasement
nnd Its traffic, came te her. in the

If Christ Came Today
Would The World Treat
Him Differently?
In enc of the most beautiful stories conceived in
recent years, Melville Davisson Pest relates the
experiences of a schoolteacher among the peer
mountaineers of the Seuth. The Teacher's life
and experiences parallel these of Jesus Christ,
and in the characters of the story can be recog
nized their Biblical prototypes. Mr. Pest relates
his story with almost an awesome simplicity.
His style is flawless. His development of the
theme leaves you at times speechless inspired
wondering. There is nothing like it in recent
literature.
