Bell & Cock- burn, Toronto, Publishers. This is a society-novel of an inter- ating and readable kind. Claude is an English composer, totally lacking in ambition, who has no de sire to dazzle the world with his genius. . In his retired, reserved way he lives his own life, devoted to . work and with no thought outside his music. All goes well until he opens the door, and Ambibion enters im the guise of Charmian Mansfield, who : wants to be Somebody.

"Gold," a tale of the Forty-Niners, is in White's best style. Few men have written so well or so under- standingly of the west, its people and its life as he, and the reason Js obvious. What interests him is the man or woman underneath the temporary venéer. The strong, strady curréint of human achieve- ment gives his stories their all-per- vading sense of truth to .life. He pictures conditions as they are, and one almost feels that the experiences related have been witnessed by him- self. This book reveals man pitted against nature--the eternal drama. No sex problem, no love story, is introduced. "Gold" is a picture of the madness of '49, when thousands Jj rushed west by way of Panama and the Hora in search of the treasure that was supposed to be lying ankle deep all over the coast of Califor- nia. Tha, description of life and conditions on the isthmus is particu: larly interesting, now that th« world's attention 'is again drawn to this spot through the opening eof jthe Panama <anal. Then it was crowded with thousands of . half crazed men, wholly unused to tropi- cal life, dying of fever. The real story concerns four men who set out from New York to seek their for- tunes ini the gold flelds. The suf- ferings pnd the humors of those amazing" years are vividly told. Here is a 'virile, hard hitting story of ad- venture, in which, for once, no love story is introduced. To those of us whose fathers took part in the gold rush, nd from whose lips we have heard wonderfu tales of the life in Sacramento, along the river bars and in the wines, this story posseses an added charm, Readily recogmized are the scenes pictured by Mr. White, and we real- ize how true to life his work is. This book will repay reading. OUT OF THE DARK ' I " By Helen Keller. McClelland & Goodchild, Toronto, Publishers.

McClelland & Goodchild, Toronto, Publishers. "Youth," by Joseph: Conrad, is a strange book. At first the reader is (convinced that the author is a mad man, but at last wonders if he be not a philosopher instead. The ver: dict must be an individual one, and we thigk ths book is worth the read: ne first and third stories are sea- yarns, and the latter the better. Cap- tain Whalley's heroic devotion to the mterests of his daughter is magni- ficent, and his death is in strict ac cord with his life: His character is inspiring in - the extreme, and every: one muat be the. better for studying it. The second story, however, is the best. No one can read it and fail to antderstand the meaning of the term "Darkest Alrica,"" dark through native ignorance and . European greed, pn- meval simplicity matched with twen tieth century rapacity, i Joseph. ih énrad has, or thinks he has. a phil odophy of life, and if he really has it is worth the getting.
