NEW & FORTHCOMING WORKS
FICTION
THE FRUIT OF THE TREE, by Hamilton Fyfe. Crown 8vo, 7/6.
Mr. Hamilton Fyfe is an attentive social observer. He sees that the growing distaste of the more intellectual kind of women for motherhood is bound to have disturbing consequences. Just as in the past men sought in “gay” society distraction from aggravated domesticity, so now they are liable to crave for domestic joys as a relief from childless homes.
Without taking sides Mr. Fyfe describes such a case with an ever-present humour. He does not plead or preach: he is content to set forth problems of personality which have a vivid application in the everyday lives of us all.

Mr. Havelock Ellis writes: “This novel seems to be, in some ways, his most notable achievement.”
