tuous, modern Scheherazade, and falls madly in love with her. It should be mentioned that the purpose of his vacation is to have a fling at the "grand passion." Initially, it looks like this is about to ensue, but Stella manages, for a time, to forestall his amorous intentions by plying him with mysterious liqueurs and relating pseudorealistic episodes in the bedrooms of historical personages, such as: Hercules, Socrates, Don Juan, Casanova, etc. In each tale, she implies, or actually asserts that she was the "femme fatale in each case. At first, Adam disbelieves her, but as her stories be-
come more convincing, he comes to accept her as a reincarnation of Astarte, Venus, Salome, et al. The actual, and not mythological, gentlemen who appear in this farce are, fortunately for the author, unable to sue him for misrepresentations of their erotic ardor, about which he can only conjecture.
Adam's explosive reactions to the tales and an unbelievable denouement bring the story to a close. This book is solely for those who can take their authors cum grano salis. PAUL de GARDE.
