Chapter XLIII: Part II: is composed of chapters on: Paris—a brief sketch for tourists; (13)

The author of this volume was former prime minister of Roumania. Of
this English version Viscount Bryce writes in the introduction: “the
descriptions it contains are for the most part vigorous sketches
rather than portraits. Some, however, may be called vignettes, more or
less finished drawings, each consisting of few lines, but those lines
sharply and firmly drawn. Intermingled with this score of personal
sketches there are also a few brief essays or articles which set
before us particular scenes, little fragments of history in which the
author bore a part, all relating to the persons who either figured in
the war, or were concerned with the intrigues from which it sprang.”
Contents: Monsieur Poincaré; Prince Lichnowsky; Count Berchtold; The

Upon the death of her mother Ruth Mayfield is sent to New York city to
live with an aunt whom she has never seen, who is a celebrated,
emotional actress, and who has the unique distinction of having
divorced three husbands. Ruth in her early teens, dabbled below the
surface of mysterious, occult things; to her amazement she discovers
an actively evil hypnotic influence among her aunt’s servants. George,
the powerfully built, red-eyed Hindu, not only very nearly kills
Gloria Mayfield’s first husband by his mystic power of thought and
faith, but also comes close to wrecking Gloria’s future. Ruth,
however, quietly intervenes, and after much anxiety, has the happiness
of seeing Percy Pendragon, Gloria’s first husband, miraculously
restored to health; Gloria restored to Percy, and George’s sinister
power utterly broken. Ruth’s own love affair together with her
frustrated ambition to be a great artist, offset the mystic atmosphere

The story transpires in Cape Town, around 1820, and involves much
political history in the telling. It contains the mysterious figure of
Surgeon-Major James Barry, and a mysterious garden to whose secret
gate Barry has a key. A beautiful Dutch girl of the colony, Aletta,
discovers the garden and its captive, an extraordinarily beautiful
young man. To break through the wall is now the one desire of both. At
the moment of success, when they are about to rush into each other’s
arms, a pistol shot from the ever watchful slave, Majuba, kills the
young man, and Barry, arriving opportunely upon the scene, tells
Aletta that his son (rather her son, for Barry turns out to be a
woman) was a leper.

“To offer criticism of such a clever and at the same time, such an

The book has a foreword by David R. Francis, formerly American
ambassador to Russia, in which he describes the author as a member of
the American Red cross mission to Rumania with the incidents leading
to his arrest and his five-months’ imprisonment in the fortress of St
Peter and St Paul. The author declines going into the causes that led
to the general breakdown of Russia, and claims to confine himself
strictly to what he himself has undergone as a prisoner of the
bolshevist régime. Many of his accounts, however, are not based on
personal experience but on the stories of “eye-witnesses.” He feels
nothing but horror for bolshevism which he describes as a
revolutionary sickness through which Russia is passing and happily
already approaching the convalescent stage. He pins his faith on
Russian patriotism and religion and heralds the orthodox church as the
deliverer.

“Tamarisk town, vulgarly known as Marlingate, was a small Sussex
fishing village in 1857 when the story opens. Monypenny determined to
make of it a rival to Brighton. And as the years go by, passing the
milestones of a new novel by Dickens or another masterpiece from the
pen of Mrs Henry Wood, Marlingate gradually turns into Monypenny’s
dream—a watering-place of marvellous beauty and refinement. Enter now
a woman, Morgan Beckett. They are rivals, Morgan and Marlingate, for
Monypenny’s love; there is a contest; Monypenny cannot bring himself

When the British government brought a great number of the natives of

Catty Atkins and his father were shiftless folk, tramps, to be exact.
But Catty was levelheaded and did a lot of thinking and when he fell
in with “Wee-wee” Moore and his dad he did some more. All that Mr
Moore did was to treat Catty with respect and all that Mrs Gage did
was to treat him like scum. The effect of the combination was to
arouse Catty from his lethargy and fill him with a fierce
determination to be respectable and make his shiftless dad
respectable. How he did it is the story, and although Catty’s bossing
soon makes Mr Atkins the richest and handsomest man in town, he never
loses his wistful look towards his fishing rod and the road.

“Bonbright Foote, Incorporated” had gone through six generations
without balking and with family tradition and business tradition
fossilizing side by side. But Bonbright Foote VII balked. The result
of the former was a family fortune of five millions, of the latter a
disowned son cast off penniless. But as a further result Bonbright
Foote, without the VII, applied to his father’s friend, the automobile
king, for a job, donned overalls, began at the bottom of the ladder as
a mechanic, climbed rung after rung and incidentally learned how an
up-to-date business was conducted. After his father’s sudden death he
takes hold of the fossilized concern of six generations, and makes it
over on the five dollars a day minimum wage basis. On the day that the
announcement of the plan averts a disastrous strike, Bonbright’s
unhappy love affair also takes a turn. He not only finds his lost

of the heroic efforts made during the war to continue the campaign,
begun before the war, of restoring and developing the threatened lace
industry. A brief survey of the history of lace-making is given in the
introduction with a description of its peculiar milieu as a home
industry and the more modern development into a craft through normal
schools of lace-making. A separate chapter is devoted to each of the
notable lace-villages. The differences between the various kinds of
laces, needle laces and bobbin laces, are more fully described and
their stitches illustrated, in the appendix. The contents are:
Introduction; Turnhout; Courtrai; Thourout-Thielt-Wynghene; Grammont;
Bruges; Kerxken; Erembodeghem; Opbrakel; Liedekerke; Herzele; Ghent;
Zele. The book is profusely illustrated and there is an index.

20–17603

A note to this “story for children of five to fifty” says: “Most of
this that I have written about bees is true: what is not, does not
pretend to be. Some of the true part sounds almost like a description
of what human life might in some respects be, if certain social
movements of today were followed out to their logical extreme. I
suppose that in this likeness lies the moral of the book.” The part of
the story that isn’t true and doesn’t pretend to be has to do with the
revolt of Nuova against bee traditions. Nuova is a new bee, she grows
tired of working and begins to ask the meaning of things in bee
society. She takes an interest in the drones and even falls in love
with one of them. She meets the fate of all nonconformists and is
about to be driven from the hive to her death when a fortunate turn of
chance spares her and brings a happy ending.

To a certain extent this work is a revision of Dr Kelly’s “Cyclopedia

preface: “Dr Walter L. Burrage and I have worked for several years to
produce the present volume, deleting from the former book fifty-one
biographies not coming up to our standard, replacing with new
biographies sixty-two others, revising and correcting from original
sources nearly all, and adding 815 new ones, besides those that have
replaced the old ones. Thus our book contains 1948 biographies and is
carried through the year 1918. In addition there are about eighty
references to individuals mentioned biographically in the main
biographies.” The principle of selection has been “to include every
man who has in any way contributed to the advancement of medicine in
the United States or in Canada, or who, being a physician, has become
illustrious in some other field of general science or in literature.”
Living men are entirely excluded. A list of works consulted occupies
nine pages and there is a local index, by states, in addition to the
general index.

enabled to disinherit and make an outcast of the old man’s grandson,
Memmo, he makes himself the head of the Sparnieri banking firm and
Clara, the old man’s granddaughter, and in reality Daniele’s illicit
daughter, the greatest heiress in Venice. He separates Clara from her
cousin, Memmo, whom she loves and forces her to marry a profligate and
impoverished member of the oldest aristocracy of Venice. Later he
causes Memmo’s imprisonment on a criminal charge of bomb throwing, but
when nemesis overtakes him in the vengeance of his numerous victims,

innocence, true love comes to its own.
