"Esther Gould's Book Corner" seems to be achieving an unexpected inter- national fame. In the mail this week came a magazine printed in "Leiden, Nederlandsche" in which a half page article was devoted to the "Book Corner". As the language seems to be a composite of German, French, Dutch, and a touch of Polish, the entire article will not be translated until a corps of scholars has been assembled. The only entirely intelligible words are "Esther Gould's Book Corner opende in suburban papers van Chicago'-- "Success" being repeated several times we feel sure that the article is favor- able. We hope to know its full im- port at a later date. REALISM MORE REALISM "THAT NICE YOUNG COUPLE" By Francis Hackett Boni & Liveright Will the realists never tire of tell- ing us what we are and how we are it? Francis Hackett"s "That Nice Young Couple" is a book of which Sinclair Lewis says--as quoted on the cover--"Perhaps the best story of married life under modern conditions yet written anywhere in the world." Is this a case of Mr. Lewis commending the whirlwind let loose at his own instigation? Perhaps, but also for a book which is well done. Eleanor Byrd, attractive daughter of the Middle West and product of the fashionable eastern school is un- doubtedly very like many which are turned out every year. Pretty, self assured, she knows a little about everything except herself and what she wants to do with her life. Find- ing the atmosphere of her home ra- ther uncongenial she is prepared to accept a proposal from the first even slightly acceptable man who makes one. She has not long to wait. Edward Beale, graduate of a New England training and Harvard Law School meets and falls in love with her on the boat. From Liverpool to New York they consider plenty of time to take in choosing one's life partner--to 7. be sure it is a slow boat--so the day | - before the Statue of Liberty is sighted they break the news to mama. run their inevitable course. First happiness and a sort of childlike attempt to run in partnership, then a maturer realization that they are a STATEMENT OF THE FINANCES OF TOWNSHIP NO. 42, RANGE NO. 13, IN COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS From July 1st, 1924, to July 1st, 1925 Permanent Fund RECEIPTS Sri. ce ley Teste vo] 16.99 Bonds on hand July 1st 920 ea SSA LL 800.00 otal 6.

ElI- eanor has her fling with a charming innocent-eyed young Southerner, and then suddenly finds all that green pas- ture rather sickening and returns to the straight and dusty road and Edward. We are likely after the first hun- dred pages of a realist novel to be tempted to fling it aside and wonder what it's all about. But Mr. Hack- ett's is saved from this awful fate by a certain freshness and originality in point of view which keeps one's in- terest. He is merciless in his clarity of insight and then saves our feelings by the whimmsicality of his humor. AN OLD CLASSIC REISSUED "THE OREGON TRAIL" By Francis Parkman Little Brown & Co. Among the standard favorites that Little Brown and Company has just brought out in "The Beacon Hill Bookshelf" is one which makes an ex- cellent antidote for too much realism. Francis Parkman's famous history, "The Oregon Trail" takes one into a world incredibly distant for 75 years back, when the problems of the Mid- dle West were not those of unmiti- gated commercialism but of the uncivil- ized frontier. It was in 1846 that Francis Park- man with three companions started on his long journey from St. Louis to the Rocky Mountains with the pur- pose of seeing the country and study- ing the life of the Indians. There is a decided novelty in this day when the chief excitement is dodging automo- biles and street cars, to contemplate the little bands of emigrants starting out across the lonely prairies, a prey to fierce bands of Indians, wolves, herds of wild buffalo and numerous other forms of Nature's amusements. In telling his story, instead of us- ing the modern approved how-to-write- a-short-story method in which the climax is carefully hoarded for a stun- ning effect Mr. Parkman quietly puts it down just as it happened, going from incident to incident with the un- hurried charm of a running brook. It is needless to say of a book which has been outstanding for fifty years and is the chief book of its historical period, that it is good, and will repay reading by adults as well as by chil- dren, but we can say that in its new binding with coloured illustrations it is remarkably attractive.
