UPTON SINCLAIR AND A.A. MILNE

WORK OF TWO POPULAR AUTHORS AMONG LATEST FICTNIONS.

"Dragon Harvest,” the latest of the Upton Sinclair chronology, has been secured among the latest fiction works of the “Times Literary Supplement": “Fluent, tireless, i-esourceful, indomitable, Mr. Upton Sinclair is fast catching up with the present. The sixth enormous volume of his prodigious digest of world affairs since the eve of the first war extends in time from the beginning of 1939 until the fall of France, and once again there is nothing but admiration for the vigour, the steady patience, and the store of information and curiosity which he brings to his task.” The ever popular A. A. Milne has written another novel which is also included in the latest selections. “Chloe Marr," records a year, between the wars, in the life of the beautiful and notorious Miss Marr, showing her as she appeared to some of the many who loved her, admired her, or thought her good company; and leaving the reader to make as each of them did, his own interpretation of her.
