Own Reward, Plus

THE LOVE OF JULIE BOREL--Kathleen Norris--Doubleday, Doran ($1).

All U. S. publishers except Doubleday, Doran & Co. have stopped the experiment of selling new books for $1. Motherly Kathleen Norris probably feels no handicap; her novels are sure sellers at any price to a mass public. Her latest is in her same old vein:

Pen Barnes was spoiled but a darling, and would get all the Barnes money some day, when her grandfather died. Meantime she had set her heart on marrying handsome but penniless Tony de la Ferronays, French professor at her nearby college. When Julie Borel, supposed daughter of a former governess, came to live with the Barnses, she and Tony took fire at sight. But neither had any money, so Tony married Pen. Julie might have had Nick Barnes, a rising surgeon and solid citizen, but honeymooning Tony still kept her fancy. Finally she took a chance on Nick, but stipulated a platonic union until she had laid Tony's ghost. When Tony and Pen came back from their long honeymoon abroad Julie found she could face her former idol without batting an eye; more, that Husband Nick was the man for her. And just then, of course, it was discovered Julie was really the long-lost Barnes heiress: her virtue was rewarded a thousandfold.
