ISABEL ANDERSON, who heretofore has confined her literary talents towriting of presidents and diplomats and fascinating foreign lands,contributes to our list her first novel, POLLY THE PAGAN, a story ofEuropean life and "high society." The story is unfolded in the livelyletters of a gay and vivacious American girl traveling in Europe,and tells of the men whom she meets in Paris, in London or Rome, herflirtations (and they are many and varied!) and exciting experiences.Among the letters written to her are slangy ones from an Americancollege boy and some in broken English from a fascinated Russian Prince(or was he disillusioned, when after dining at a smart Parisian cafewith the adorable Polly he was trapped by secret police?); but thechief interest, so far as Polly's _affaires d'amour_ are concerned,centers around the letters from a young American, in the diplomaticservice in Rome, who is in a position to give intimate descriptions ofsmart life and Italian society.

The character drawing is clever, and the suspense as to whom thefascinating Polly will marry, if indeed the mysterious young lady willmarry anybody, is admirably sustained.
