Sued for Divorce. By Prince Eitel Friederich, 51, second son of Kaiser Wilhelm II; Princess Sophie Charlotte, 47, daughter of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg.

LENZ ON BRIDGE-Sidney S. Lenz -Simon & Schuster ($2). The famed Messrs.

...uncover and which such a seeker after truth as Professor Kittredge must surely appreciate. Yet in his Eng. 2 he is content to worry words and peck at lines. The second has among its members men like John Livingston Lowes whose "Convention and Revolt in Modern Poetry" is so grand an achievement as to take its place in the rank of masterpieces of literary criticism, whose "Two figures of Earth" in a recent number of the Yale Review is stimulating in the vastness of its concept, in the directness of its approach. He spends classroom hours expounding the benefits...
