Fall. o JUST PARAGRAPHS 2 4 PS Ds se â€" m +8 7 Count Corti, in his book about the Rothgchilds says it was a common practice of that age to open other people‘s mail, government officials having a regular system for intercept~ ing the letters they wished to see. ‘The Rothschilds, knowing this, provâ€" ed a little too clever for the officials, for they wrote their letters to spread the kind of information they wished known, either to advance their interâ€" ests on the stock exchange or to inâ€" gratiate them with the officials. "A Book of Stories" is the not very original title under which Ring Lardâ€" ner will publish a new volume in the The John Day Company has pubâ€" lished something that should delight the hearts of the Lindberg fans. It the one carrying serum to Bennett. S. Fowler Wright likes a good roâ€" bust knockdown adventure story. His new book "The Island of Captain Sparrow" is of that kind, much like "Deluge" except that it hasn‘t the more or less serious or moralizing elements of that work, just a good old _ desertâ€"islandâ€"loneâ€"castawayâ€"hosâ€" tileâ€"native type with a leaning toward the bloodthirsty. It was very probâ€" ably written before "Deluge" though the publishers do not say so. is a large decorative wall map by field is well known, showing all the fiights of Lindberg from his first spectacular transâ€"Atlantic flight to Mr. Wright, this remarkable man who began novel writing at the age of fiftyâ€"two or thereabouts, and stepâ€" ped overnight into the notice of such men as Arnold Bennett, Swinmnon‘ and others, uses the ordinary method of making unreal things real, that is the method of piling up detail. Charlâ€" ton Foyle lands on an island in the North Pacific, drifting there after days upon the open | ocean, am‘ll chances upon an entrance cave, the only opening in the face of the cliff. From this cavern he finds a tunnelâ€" like opening upwards. He decides to explore it, we wish we could give a sufficient extract to illustrate with what exact detail we follow his every movement. But it is by this fellowâ€" ing of his physical actions that we become convinced ‘by the process of bludgeoning that that is just how it did all happen. It is the method often used in children‘s books, it used to delight us in "Swift‘s Family Robâ€" We go thus matterâ€"ofâ€"fact and preâ€" cisely through weird and sometimes bloodthirsty adventures with Chariton Foyle. We encounter manâ€"eating birds, a race of satyrs, ferocious naâ€" tives and, not the least remarkable, a charming French girl who has lived for two years in the trees. sume in saying praise of anyone who was listening at the keyhole. There is too, that guiding hand on the part of the subject himself which is usually felt, as incongruous, really, as if the corpse stuck his head out over the edge of the coffin and corrected the about it. Then as it moved from Elâ€" lis* childhood into his maturity the author seemed to get more firmly inâ€" to his stride. He is evidently a man ideas than with actions so the vigorâ€" ous mental development of his subâ€" ject‘s manhood appealed to him. Mr. Peterson is not abject in his attitude toward Ellis, though he does consider him one of the significant figures of croe«~4 Ellis‘ path are presented in the hnok, among them Olive Schreinâ€" er, James Hinton, and Freud. Mr. Peterson might nerhaps better have made his subâ€"title "Philosopher of Ser" not "Love" for it is to the quesâ€" tion of sex. the better understanding of which Ellis feels is essential to a finer life. that he has given his best effort. He has done important and pioneer work there for which he is rightly recognized, but we know him better, if we have read his more genâ€" eral works, for example "The Dance of Life," as a philosopher and stimuâ€" lating exponent of sane, vital, posiâ€" ADVENTURE, THE REAL THING > By S.
