_ELINE VERE._ By Louis Couperus. Translated from the Dutch by J. T.
Grein. With an Introduction by Edmund Gosse. Holland Fiction Series,
12mo. Cloth, $1.00.

"The author's recent books have made for her a secure place in current
literature, where she can stand fast.... Her latest production, 'A
Puritan Pagan,' is an eminently clever story, in the best sense of the
