s provided an unusual setting for her
tale. The scene is largely laid in a pathological laboratory, surely a
new background for a romance. It is a background, moreover, which is
used most effectively by Miss Schauffler in the furtherance of her plot.
Her characters, too, are as interesting as their surroundings--a woman
doctor, attractive as well as sensible, a gruff old German doctor,
suspicious of womankind, and a young American. Around these the action
centers, though half a dozen others, vividly sketched, have a hand in
the proceedings. Of course _Metzel Changes His Mind_ is a love story,
but not of the ordinary type.

Landmarks

By E.V. LUCAS, Author of "Over Bemerton's," "London Lavender," etc.

_Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._

Mr. Lucas's new story combines a number of the most significant episodes
in the life of the central figure; in other words, those events of his
career from early childhood to the close of the book which have been
most instrumental in building up his character and experience. The
episodes are of every kind, serious, humorous, tender, awakening,
disillusioning, and they are narrated without any padding whatever, each
one beginning as abruptly as in life; although in none of his previous
work has the author been so minute in his social observation and
narration. A descriptive title precedes each episode, as in the
moving-picture; and it was in fact while watching a moving-picture that
Mr. Lucas had the idea of adapting its swift selective methods to
fiction.
