The article presents information on three books "Barbara Picks a Husband," by Hermann Hagedorn, "The Amazing Interlude," by Mary Roberts Rinehart and "Unpardonable Sins," by Rupert Hughes. In the "Barbara Picks a Husband," the opening scene is good, for a moment one has a sense of being in for a bit of sound comedy. "The Amazing Interlude" is a tale of sentiment in a war setting. Rinehart uses the three familiar figures, the ingenue, the worthy young man and the fascinating adventurer. It is a far more difficult feat that Hughes attempts in "Unpardonable Sin." His problem is that of "The Outrage," by Annie Vivanti Chartres. Chartres succeeded in giving her tale a touch of tragic emotion and restraint.
