FOR SUMMER READING
NEW MEN FOR OLD.By Howard Vincent O’Brien.
$1.25net.
One of the finest first novels of many seasons. A book too that for verity, passion and sincerity can bear comparison with the best that America has produced.
But make no mistake—this is a good story as well. A young fellow, son of a wealthy Chicagoan, passes his time in Paris in luxurious idleness. He is called home at his father’s death. Instead of receiving a fortune he finds himself penniless.
That’s the situation that faces Harlan Chandos at the opening of “New Men for Old,” the book tells the rest of the story.
GREAT DAYS.By Frank Harris, author of “The Man Shakespeare,” “The Bomb,” etc.
