...Meier-Graefe's book, to be exact, is not a biography in the classic sense of the word. To put the matter generally, it is the attempt of an astute and typically German mind to understand and to some extent lay bare a notice and typically Russian mind. And the attempt is singularly successful. From the very nature of the works with which he has to deal, a mere investigation and discussion of what may be called the facts of the novels--their construction, their action, even their dramatic quality--however painstaking and exact it might be, would...
...here in minute detail--there is sweeping epic style--and here again with a touch of human sympathy--one finds that justice has been a main chord. South and North, each has its turn--probably the reason both these sections of our country have acclaimed the book as a classic. A striking feature is the manner in which Benet handles such a wide field. One might say the war is dealt with in terms of various imaginary individuals and their reactions. This lends that personal touch which serves equally well as a main, solemn connecting thread through out the story...
Died. George Lambton, 73, 3d Earl of Durham, famed English turfman, landlord & coal tycoon; after a long illness; in London.

Through the salons of these internationally-known couturiers, last week, wandered the elite of Paris and of Paris visitors. But U. S. women of fashion need not despair because they were not in Paris last week. Let them but wait until fall and they will find the most classic models of Worth, the most daring of Vionnet's designs, reproduced in many a U. S. department store. Instead of paying $500 for a sports costume by Chanel, they will pay $200 or $300 for a replica of the same costume in a Manhattan shop. For Paris dressmakers have found...
...sheer artistry, Sons and Lovers escapes its Freudian obsession with the mother-son relationship, and establishes itself as a classic human document expressed in lyric prose. But since then (1913) Author Lawrence has played less the artist and more the psychiatrist, his favorite study still the positive and negative reactions of sex attraction and repulsion. At their best the short stories of the present collection are a neurological graph done into Lawrence's powerful prose, and at their predominant worst (witness the title story) they are queer extravaganzas of symbology...
