Ruwew in- this ciftumn in duo cours*. Headers of, "Sylvia Scarlett", and "Sylvia and MiciiaeC," and those who know Mr, Comptoii Mackenzie's earlier books, "Tho Passionate Elopement," "Carnival," and "Sinister Street," will be interested to learn that the author's forthcoming now story, "Poor Relations," is in tho naturo .of a new departure, being a comedy of country house life. Mackenzie lives at tho beautiful Italian island of Capri, so bolovod of artists. During the war he did secret service work in Rumania and Greece, and was stationed for a timo at Mudros.
