Ah kh RC - To Have you & son or daughter who| likes to read every spare moment? Have they outgrown the Mother Goose and other nursery rhymes? If you have then you are among those mothers who are always be« ing troubled with a request for a new book. Maybe the boy has just finished a series of the boys books and daughter has finished the Elsie, Ruth Fielding or some other boun for girls and now you are trying to think of something new and no- vel for them, If that is the case then a review of children's books would be a convenient article for this column, ' With the aid of the McCall book review we will make this a buys night and devote this column to the boys' books so that the mothers may read and dec.Je some of the books which are suitable for the son, and the boys may see the latest editions. A sixteen year old boy has read these books and gives his opinion of them. "Danger Ahead" by Ralph Henry Barbour a story full of the gest for adventure and thrills of living. It is a story of two boys seeking adventure, as are all boys, who rescue a third one from kid. nappers, while they are on a motor trip from Florida to Ohio, The story is brought to a skillfully Wiought surprise and a happy end- ng. "The Ghost of the Glimmerglass" 'by Merritt P. Allen is a particu- larly good mystery story. interest ing and exciting for boys up to six- teen years of are, Pell Feilding finds himself heir, by an uncle's will, to some timber land in Ver- mont. The main center of mystery lies around the will and the venge- ful, unpleasant red-haired former hired man named Jake who claims the land, When all geems lost the mystery is all cleared up and, al- though this may not anpeal to some boys, the boys go back to school well equipned with money, As a rule, a book written by a woman does not appeal to the hoys ag well as those in which a man re- Saris all his dreams of his child- h days. However Mary H. Wade | nas recently written a book, which has been published Bribe D, Apple: ton and Company ich is an ap- pealing book for the boys. It is called "The Boy Who Found Out" or "The Story of Henri Fabre", This novel presents a stimulating account of struggle and success. A touching and understanding picture of Henri Fabre's childhood is fol- lowed by an interesting account of many active years of effort and achievement, His later years. and death at the age of ninety years are simply told. } "The Exciting Adventure of Cap- tain John Smith," is a different book for it is a blography and ad- venture combined. The biography 1s not. predominant, however for the whole life of John Smith was all adventure, The story is glorious reading for boys of any age with the accounts of pirates and Turks, slavery and encounters and adven- tures with our own American In- dians, followed by the mutiny of his crew and his imprisonment on a French frigate which filled his life and the pages of this book. For the younger boys there is always the old favorite '"The Last of 'the Mohicans" by J. Fenimore Cooper, which is one of the Golden Books, a series of Children's Clas. sics. Another is the new edition of the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving, which may be read more than once and still be as interesting the last tinve as the first reading was, A new edition of this book publish:d by the David Me- Kay Company has been illustrated by Arthur Rackman with beautiful colored drawings and clever and amusing black and white illustra. tions. The books which never grow old and uninteresting are the '0z" books, which include the 'Tin Woodman of Oz", the "Emerald City" and several new editions which have been published lately. These are real fairy tales which excite the imagination of the young- er boys.

WARREN BRINGS "CITIES OF ROMANE" T0 CITY Talented English Artist De- lights Audience With Paint Miss Emily M. Warren, an Eng- lish artist, lectured last evening to an interested audience at the Centre School auditorium on "Cit- {es of Romance", The members of the Oshawa Home and School Council have been trying for the past two years to bring Miss War- ren to this city and it was only recently that they were able to ar- range a date which was satisfac- tory to both Miss Warren and the Council. The delay in hearing Miss Warren, however, only tended to augment the interest in her work and her lecture, The speaker was introduced by Mrs. C, A. Kinnear, vice-president of the Home and School Couneil, who in the absence of the presi- dent, Mrs, R. S. McLaughlin, pre- sided, Miss Warren expressed her pleasure at being in Oshawa and explained that although English, Canada is not a new country to her since she has been coming here at intervals since 1919, Miss War- ren's manner of speech, which al- though decidedly English also echoes faintly of her days spent in France and other countries: In Europe, was delightful, Last evening the audience was carrie? on an imaginary tour to the "Cities of Romance'---Paris, Rome, Florence and Venice, The explana fon of the beauty of these cities, which was made by Miss Warren, was further enhanced by the slides which were thrown the screen, and were reproduc- tions of Miss Warren's own paint. ings or photographs, which had been colored by Miss Warren's brush. It is easily understood when one sees all the slides which Miss War- ren has completed that there fis certainly truth in her remark that "there isn't possible time to finish all the sketches there are to be made". Her work is excel- lent, Particularly outstanding is her sense of color, which is shown in the painting of the stained glass windows of the various ca h- edrals and chapels, Church inter- fors are Miss Warren's specialty, although the scenes of the mar- kets where the bright flowers were shown were evidence of her fine color taste. With the name of Paris one im- mediately. thinks of the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame and, may- be if one has the true sightseeing sense, Montmartre. It was a de- light to the many, who have not had the privilege of seeing these triumphs of ar., to see them in natural colors as portrayed by a true lover of beauty, The fine tow. ers of Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe in all its architectural splendour, the riot of color in the market squares, the tourists Para- dise Montmartre, and the chapels which radiate the spirit of peace are all portrayed by the practised hand of Emily Warren, Passing through Switzerland we come into Italy where one is first gree.ed by the Ita.lan officers. Then a revelation of beauty is brought before you and 'the white- ness of the Milan cathedral with its white angel and beautiful set- ting gives a perfect introduction to Italy. Some paintings of Rome and Florence were shown and a group of Venetian scenes, which were full of color, A vote of thanks was extended to Miss Warren and the hope ex- pressed that she would again re- turn to Oshawa, If Miss -Warren does re.urn to this city she wil be received by a larger audience, without doubt, for those present last evening were enthusiastic and Emily M. Warren will receive the heartiest commendation by all who heard her and saw her work. She is an interesting speaker, full of enthusiasm for the beauty which 2he portrays, and is a talented ar- In some families the tea and coffce pots are badly neglected and they are only washed when thought of.

PAUL POIRET GIVES HINTS FOR SPRING Mussolini of Mode Predicts Dark Hose, Longer Skirts, Shorter Sleeves, Silk Gloves and Trouser Skirt New York, Feb, 21.--Paul Poiret » the Mussolini of mode, who at 7 played with dolls instead of sol- diers and became in youth a maker of umbrellas, and who for the past century has been the first to utter the last word on what the dressed woman will wear, sailed for home last week after a three months' tour of America expound Jas the cult of the couturier de uxe, well. Here are six tips straight from his workbasket: 1. The silk glove is coming back, and there will be a bullish move- ment in fancy and sophisticated patterns of all kinds. 2. Sleeves will be a little shorter. 3. Stockings will no longer be of flesh tints but will be replaced by dark greens and heavy browns. 4. The cloche hat, which M. Poiret says is merely a souvenir of the tin hat worn by soldiers in the war, {8 due to be scrapped and keels will be laid for some hats with a little beam to them. 5.
