The manuscript of the book has been read by an English friend of Tolstoi, who states that It is perhaps the most terrible arraignment of smart society ever written. Dealing with the frailties and follies of fashionable women and the primal sins and pas sions of men. It Is declared to be even more powenui n.u wurwnlna" and "The Kreutzer Sonata." "Father Serglus" Is the title of the new novel, which will only see the light of day after the eyes of the au thor have been closed forever. It Is the story of a wealthy guardsman, nomlnerit In 8t. Petersburg society, ho becomes engaged to a typical, so lely girl of the Russian capital. For a time the ocurse of true love runs smoothly, and the guardsman Is se renely happy In the thoughts of a hap py future. Shortly before the mar riage, however, the young man dis covers the maiden, while pretending extreme Innocence and declaring that she loves only her betrothed, has been carrying on a clandestine "affair" with a Russian court personage and that her Innocence Is only an affecta tion covering depths of depravity. The rage of the young man at this tragic ending of his dreams of wedded bliss affords opportunity for fierce Tols- tolan rastlgatlon of society women, with the Intimation that the girl Is but a type common among the femi nine devotees of smart socloty everywhere.
