THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT, By Adele Luehrmann. New York. The Century Company, ~ §1.25. A mystésy . and love story com- bined, set:in New York with ramifi- B cations £nnninx to Russia, Rou- mania, England and Franee. The entral . character is a’ beautiful fnan ‘ shrouded in a complication puzzling circumstances connected with a famous murder and the theft bf a Priceless royal necklace.

How she both overestimated and un- derestimated herself, .how “Fyfe” proved himself to be even bigger than she ever dreamed, and the man- ner in which the fates finally dis- posed of the problems they both met, makes good material for a dramatic story which loses nothing from Mr. Sinclair's handling.
