The setting used at the time was a general merchandise store in a cow town, and among the articles ar- ranged on the show case was an elab- orate concert accordion which attract. ed the star's eye. "Do you want to hear "Sweet Ade- line?" he asked Beatrice Burnham, who is playing with him in this fea- ture, "Is it a new jazz?" inquired Bea- trice, who was born since the days of the serenade. "Just listen," answered Harry, and he began his worst. After his sixth blue note Miss Burn- ham pulled a six shooter from her holster and gently informed Mr. Carey that music might have charms, but she dared anyofie to call her a savage, A Star In The Making Unless all signs fall, there ia a youngster on the Universal City lot | just now who will be a star before many moons, and he is only four years {old at that, He Is Reeves Eason, Jr, self styled "Breezy" Eason.

($2.25.) *""The Foolish Lovers' more closely resembles "Alice and a Family" than any other of Mr. Ervine's novels, al- though it cannot be denied that there is no character in it so likeable as Alice. The course of the story gives the writer many opportunities to poke fun at, and hold up to ridi- cule, any class or group of persons for whom he has no particular lik fing. The "Cottonham Repertory Theatre," for instance, is easily re- cognized, and all through the book there are good-humored digs at cer- tain kinds of modern poetry, pub- lishers and indoor radicals. In spite of this there is a serious side to the book and the life of "Uncle William" is very pathetic, but typical of the lives of many of those around us. He was one of those quiet, ordinary people who sac- ritice their own dreams and ambi- tions that others may dream and still lve. With a grocery store in a small Irish town, he kept life in his simple brother and the wife and child } the brother who was dead. John; the nephew, did not wish to go int the store, but aspired to become an author. With this in mind he: ulti- mately reached London and, as Mr. Ervine puts it, soon discovered that "the moras high-minded were the principles of a newspaper, the worse were its payments to contributors d the longer the time in making those payments." The whole book is full of amusing scenes and experiences df the would- be journalist. He falls madly in love with Eleanor Moore, and it can certainly be said that his energy was fully displayed in this instance, as he fairly compels the young lady to accept him. A contemporary review has 'said that the book is worthy of "its author, and that states the matter well enough. A book worthy of St. John Ervine deserves no other praise. 3 | The Hair - Literature. | It Is remarkable what trivial £0 to show the advance or BI re of men's progress. Looking down the pages of history we find many instances in which the civilization of certain peoples was determined by the cut of their clothes, or the equipment of their horses or various other minor things. 80 it has been in many cases with the hair. dn the biographical literature of two or three centuries back we find personal description which is e without reference as . to i the hair was worn: or how it got on the temples or forshead, The oT or Sir Walter Scott show » a shorter style, giving the. appear- | Talford speaks of Charles Lamb | as having close-cropped black hair | which curled closely to his forehead | ance of a Brutus to nis portrait. - Notes of Interest to Booklovers. and so remained for the twenty |® years that he knew him. Coleridge's | hair was all sfivered. Bentham was called the pher," and De Quincey discovers a point of likeness between Milton and Wordsworth in the way the hair was arranged on the forghead . Agaln in poetic literature we find innumerable references to the hair: Spencer describes Belphoebe's hair as "yellow locks, crisped like golden wire." Keats pictures Apollo: "Whose very hair--his tresses famed, undulation round his neck." Burns sings of Jean Lorimer: "Sae flaxen were her ringlets." Shelley in Alaster paints his hero with: golden Kept eager "--iScattered hair, Seared by the autumn of: strange suffering, Sung dirges to the wind." Swinburne usually gives to his heroines "amorous hair," whatever that may be like, while Browning made his description unusual and fantastic but very rich in descriptive power. - Here is the Heroine of "NJ AN or rus SAWDUST PILE."

The award was first made in 1917, but as the French Govern- ment at that time forbade the strik- ing of gold medals, the award has only just been completed by the send- ing of the medal. The French Acad- emy crowned the French translation of "The French in the Heart of America," but the medal of the So- ciete' de Geographie was given to the original English edition. A sprightly romance by Robert Haven Schauffler, "Fiddler's Luck," is promised for early publication by Houghton Mifflin Company. - William E. Dodd's "Woodrow Wil- ton and His Work," which Doubleday, Page & Co., published a few weeks ago, has had an interesting history. While the author was at work upon it and President Wilson was receiving worldwide acclaim publishers were eager for the manuscript. Three im- portant houses were competing for it, a well known magazine wanted to publish and syndicate several of its chapters and a leadin, newspaper de- sired to publish oo syndicate the whole of it serially. But about the time the work was completed the game of reviling the American Presi- dent, became the most popular in- ternational sport and was played with A A aa Peter B.

But, with next to no attempt to bring the work to public attention, to their surprise the first edition was all gone within three weeks of publication and book- sellers were clamoring for more--and they had set aside no paper for a second printing!
