WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW A Wicked and Strange Old Dame Is ‘Old Countess’ • - By Walter D. Hickman —■——————

Here is a plot—a wicked minded old countess, known as Madame de Lamouderie, thinks into despair a young married English painter. The plot includes the mental, spiritual and even the great adventure, death, to an "ill-fated” French gill—llarthe Luderac. Also in the plot is the complete Mease of contentment in the soul of the Jill Graham, the wife of Dick Craham, the painter. Here are the destinies of four people, all so closely connected that the same curtain of despair wraps itself around them. You will find this amazing dramatic character situation in “The Old Countess,” by Anne Douglas Sedgwick, just published and released to the public today by Houghton Mis-

fiin Company. Those who read “The Little French Girl,” by the same author will recall that Anne Douglas Sedgwick is one of the cleverest and most skilful creators of character. Her character are stronger than her plots and this is true with “The Old CouDtess." Madame de Lamouderie, a very aged woman In body, but whose mind even In advanced years clings to passionate adventures of other days when she was young and beautiful, seems to tower way above the plot of the story. She really becomes a mental Institution of evil powers as she deliberately plans the death of Marthe Luderac so that Dick Graham will lose her. The program of the old countess was most successful because the

The brain child of the painter nearly left him an invalid, although hi c wife remained loyally to the task of being both his friend and his wife who understood how a man may think that he loves some on* more than he does his wife. “The Old Countess” opens as a story in the sunshine of love between Jill and Dick. Then the shadow of the countess covers them with her cruel and mean color. This old dame is about the crudest modern product of a woman that I have ever encountered in modern fiction. She rises like a mountain in her wrath as site seeks to prevent younger people from being happy

Such careful and powerful character drawing is not confined to the character in the title of the story, but to the three victims of her dark and evil designs. A Cruel Study It is really a cruel study of how the brain and personality of an old woman may completely dominate the lives of people even unto death. Jill wanted to be friendly with the strange and very sad Marthe in whose home the wicked and financially destitute old countess lived and plotted. I think we have an ultra-modern dramatic plot in this story and there is no doubt that the author has given the literary world two of the most human characters and two of the weirdest, strange and queer
