BY WARWICK DEEPING. This is the story of a struggle--a struggle against discouraging odds. An English gentleman, disappointed in marriage and deprived of the place to which he had risen in the business world by the misfortunes of war, finds himself reduced to but one possession of the least value--his young son. In the story of the father's dogged concentration upon his one chief in- terest in life--making it possible for the son to have the schooling and the experience to fortify him against the odds of the world--he describes the relations of father and son. Then comes the story of the son's response to this ambition and effort. Very tenderly told is the tale, and quite charming and refreshing is its background. It is of that rare rank-- a work of new fiction that invites re- reading. LPF.D. Oppenheim at His Best THE GOLDEN BEAST By E.

The Murine Company Mept. 33, Chicago RINE: EYES (A Letter from a Librarian to a Girl in Montana.) Dear Marion-- I know that this letter is not going to be full of enthusiastic exclamation points, and that is a pity, but then I shall be home next week and I can exclaim on the ground! One thing I must tell you about is "Our Garden Flowers" by Harriet L. Keeler. Many of my friends have gardens and most of them are fervent gardeners, not satisfied by the old fashioned flower names, but profes- sionals registering interest only to the sound of "Euphorbia," "Lupine," "Heu- chera," "Aquilegia," and-so-forth. Na- turally in self-defense I find it neces- sary to memorize the Latin names as rapidly as possible, and that is one of the reasons that I bought this book. Delphiniums are no longer the only things IT know. We have recently acquired a beauti- fully illustrated set of Macaulay's "History of England." It is fascinating reading and in this day of "cloak and sword" romances it should be read more. Another beautifully illustrated book is "Cambridge" by Tuker and Matthieson. Matthieson has made a great many water color drawing of the colleges and their surroundings. These are as illuminating as the text and twice as charming. But of course you know my fads. The recent coal strike in England made me extremely conscious of the romanticist in me--a Miniver Cheevy in fact. The economic situation since the war has been bad, and of course people have tried to do something, but Time seems to be the only remedy. A survey was made of American busi- ness principles and methods (are they the same?) and the results were pub- lished in a report called "The Secret of High Wages" by Austin and Lloyd. Tt is very good reading and it is also brief. The twenty-sixth was George Ber- nard Shaw's birthday and in celebra- tion of it I read "Arms and The Man." He always amuses me, but I am afraid that I am a skimmer because I never get excited, some people do you know. Now that I have done it I wish that I had reread '"Androcles and the Lion." See you Wednesday. Love, ANNEWILLIS, W. J. Locke is writing a new novel, which will be published in the fall. The American edition will have the title, "Perella," the English being "The Old Bridge." --0 "The Hounds of Spring" has just The Odyssey of the Lonely Woman What is the life of the homeless and penniless woman in London? Where does she sleep. Hov' does she keep body and soul together day by day? Mrs. Cecil Chesterton, the well-known writer and journalist, decided to go down into the depths and find out. what happens in the City of Dreadful Night. For this purpose she left her home, cut herself off from friends, and, under an assumed name, started afresh mn London, without money, change of clothes, or references. She had many adventures. She sold matches, cleaned steps, begged in the street, slept in doss-houses, shelters, and in the causal ward. Her Odyssey of the lonely woman in the fight for existence makes an ab- sorbing book. It is called "In Darkest London," and is published by Macmil- lan. ($1.75. In St. Paul's Cathedral in London, at a recent meeting of five thousand of the clergy, the Bishop of London made in- teresting references to this book of Mrs. Chesterton's, and the volume 1s already in very active demand through- out Great Britian.
