_BY THE SAME AUTH{OR}_

... Maud Churton Braby, author of that vivacious an{d}
daring book, "Modern Marriage and How to Bear it.{"}
As might be expected, some of the serious problems o{f}
women are dealt with in its pages. The story concern{s}
the fortunes of brilliant and undisciplined Dolly who, o{n}
the death of her mother, an actress, is compelled by t{he}
decree of a mysterious trustee to go first to a conve{nt-}
school and afterwards become a hospital nurse. H{er}
temptations and adventures at the Wimpole Street Nurs{ing}
Home--(in which environment other characters of {much}
interest appear)--her tragic love affair, and the dep{ths to}
which it brings her, together with her subse{quent}
redemption, are related in a manner which ma{kes a}
special appeal to the heart.

[The word given as "much" (interest) could also be "some", taking up the same amount of space.]
