WHICH?

"WHICH? OR, BETWEEN TWO WOMEN," _is the title of a new, very thrilling
and intensely interesting novel, by Ernest Daudet, one of the best known
and most widely read of the living French novelists. A highly romantic,
attractive and touching love story, in which a gypsy girl of great
beauty and heroism, named Dolores, and Antoinette de Mirandol, an
heiress, are rivals for the possession of Philip de Chamondrin, the
hero, forms the main theme, and it is most skilfully and effectively
handled. About this double romance of the heart are clustered a series
of exceedingly stirring episodes, many of which are historic. The
adventures of Philip, Dolores and Antoinette in Paris are graphically
described and hold the reader spell-bound. The book is highly dramatic
from beginning to end, and especially so that portion where the
Conciergerie prison and its noble inmates are depicted. Very stirring
scenes also are the attack on the Chateau de Chamondrin, Coursegol's
struggle with Vauquelas and Bridoul's rescue of the condemned prisoners
on the Place de la Revolution. But the entire novel is exceedingly
spirited, exciting and absorbing, and every character is finely drawn.
"Which? or, Between Two Women," should be read by all who relish an
excellent novel._
