STUDY IN PSYCHOLOGY
A clever, if somewhat gruesome, study in psychology is contained in Sarah Gertrude Millin's new novel, " Tin •co Men Die." The scene of the story is laid in South Africa, where Julia, reaching an s*ge at which she discovers her attraction to men, marries. Her husband dies in great agony and slie marries again. A similar tragic death occurs, and again Julia marries. There is another death. Julia is a practical and very economical housewife and even when she is well past her first youth she has a dominating and most hypnotic quality to which men fall the victim. In an atmosphere of fairly tranquil homo life the three tragedies occur and at the end of the hook the deaths are explained. It is Julia, however, with her rigid household economies, her alternating affection and impatience with her son, her petty vanities and i:<T surprivng kindnesses, who dominates this exceedingly clever book. " Three Mm Die," by Sarah Gertrude M ill in. (Chatfo and Windus.)
