This is that situation: A dying mother confesses to her only child, a young man, that he Is not the son of her husband, a respected and beloved man who had died a few years be- fore. Instead, he is the son of an- other man, caught twenty-odd years before in the mother's summef tru- ancy from her home and husband. This is the point at which one balks —that is, it is the point at which any woman will balk. For a million years, more or less, men have been busy ' teaghing women not to err, teaching it to such good effect that if an occastonal errancy does ensue concgalment is instinctive and per- sistent. Men despise women who en- croach upon their own particular sin A son would hate his mother. Any woman who is half a woman would know this. Instead of confessing she would, should the accusation arise, lie herself into everlasting torment rather than to incur the inevitable contempt of even the most adoring 13| of sons.

Juliet Wilbor TompKins' new novel stands in support of the generally denied claim that the young W of the present generation are in every respect the peers of their .mothers and grandmothers. Indeed, account of Mary Lee could be taken as complete and conclusive evidence it would settle for good and all the superiority of the modern girl to the whole line of her female forbears. It has, however, no such ambitious infent. Rather {s it the story of one girl and one mother—the honest and unpretentious, the latter pretentious and Insincere. The story gets its start and pursues its way through the freakishi behavior ef a rich and miserly grandfather whose last will and testament is of mo- mentous concern to the another Mary Lee. thousand things more -interesting than to dance attendance on the for- tune of a disagreeable old man.
