The most brilliant, most sardonic and hauntingly real novel of our day CAKES & ALE or The Skeleton in the Cupboard.

By W. Somerset Maugham.

$8.

The natural love life of a simple-hearted genius at prostitution and the litomary prostitution of a synthetic genius are, the complementary themes from which Mr. Maughan weaves this, the most sharply chiselled of his novele. He tells the story of Rosie, the barmaid, and the famous Drifold, the grand old man of English letters, with. sympathetic irony, smiling savagery, wise understanding and polite Brutality.

Rosie, with her rale-gold hair and warm gold skin that somehow gare an effect of shimmering silver, was the skeleton in the cloret, for she was the first Mrs. Driffield. Unhampered by intellectual values, sho. took the world as it came, responded generously to her simple, kindly impulses and by her zest for living raised the lives of her lovers to higher and more vivid lavels., Driffield, in his long and notable career, promoted by a shrewd second wife, was never once happy, natural or himself.

"CAKES & ALE” is written with a clipped, suaro beauty of phrase which will rank it with the most outstanding of our modern novela.
