Thursday, February 19, 1931 What People Are Reading Among | the New Books Roosevelt, the Story of a Friendâ€" ship, 1880â€"1919, by Owen Wister. Any Rooseveltiana has great appeal to numberless Americans. This book should appeal to even more, for its portraits of the "Tennis Cabinet," and _ other : of _ Roosevelt‘s closest friends. Wister has doubtless judged Roosâ€" evelt‘s opponents too harshly, espeâ€" vially Wilson, and his venturing into the field of the War Guilt is someâ€" what unwise. _ Nevertheless the book is of interest in giving so intimate a picture of a great President. The library‘s edition is not the one recalled : at once by the publishers, Many have guessed, but few know the reason for the recall.â€"Library Lanâ€" tern. Solving Life‘s Everyday Problems, by J. G. Gilkey. Contents: Getting a perspective on successâ€"finding hapâ€" piness in an ordinary careerâ€"taking second place gracefullyâ€"learning to forgetâ€"reshaping one‘s own personâ€" ality, ete. Mary Gladstone (Mrs, Drew) Her Diaries and Letters â€" Throughout her long life, the daughter of the great English statesman was familiar with English political life, and was the intimate friend of many famous Vicâ€" torians. Redlakes, by F. B. Young. A long novel much in the style of Love Is Enough. It has the quite charm of an‘ oldâ€"fashioned love story and a plot in which coincidence, the triâ€" umph of good, and the hapy ending are essential parts. Are You Unemployed? While waiting for your work to open up, why not employ. some of your time profitably by reading: Books about the job you . would like to have: . Good books on any subject that inâ€" terests you. The Public Library will set you to work. If you will let us know the subject that interests you. Philately "John Drinkwater," observes Frank Swinnerton in the Chicago Tribune," has been demonstrating the fact that stamp collecting is not at all a conâ€" temptible hobby, as some would have us believe. He has just exhibited his important collection of stamps of the Confederate States of America to members of the Junior Philatelic society, and in so doing this he deâ€" livered an address which illuminated the historical importance attaching to the stamps. When stamps can tell so absorbing and romantic a tale as this, the only marvel is that more collectors do not spread their albums scross the world. It is well known that King George is an enthusiastic collector; but apart from Mr. Drinkâ€" water I know no author who has realâ€" ized the importance of such a hobby." The following books on the subject are to be found at the Highland Park Public Library: Stories Postage §tamps Tell, by S. L. Rothschild: â€" * Scott‘s Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue, 1931.

Clllb to Celebrate Book and Pet « oo ina m memuaane ie pan ts c mrisar ra e onen Second Anniversary Book and Pets That six books were included in a vecent shipment to the bindery beâ€" cause the family pet had chewed them beyond repair, is a cause for more thin reflection. This damage has of course been reimbursed the library, but the book is often a new one and borrowers are denied the use of it for several weeks. £ . _ The Borrowers Card Over 10,000 books were issued for home reading from the Public Library in January. This is nearly double the number of books read three years ago, and means that the assistant at the main desk spends a portion of her time looking up the registration number of each borrower To lessen the time necessary to charge a book and to facilitate the work at the desk each borrower is now asked toâ€"carry his own card as ic customary in most libraries and thus save his time and that of the library assistant.

If it appears that someone has forâ€" gotten to extinguish the lights in the Old City hall, do not be alirmed. It is doubtless some of the committees from the library board struggling over designs for lighting fixtures, the right color and material for floorâ€" ing. along with countless other details which are now in the process of evolâ€" ution, and each considered with the greatest care and skill procurable.
