His father had | died when he was at the age of five, leaving a wife and two children with No means of support beyond what | the widow could derive by | her own work. With the sterling | qualities of his mother coming to the fore ground "Sandy" settled factor in the pro- | duction of the family income and | made good at the job. He had the soft heart of his poor week-kneed father and the indomi- | his mother. Clever- | from both of them ness he inherited boyhood. His escapades and experi- ences as well as some of his sorrows are related and for a lad in a quiet Scotch town he had a very adyen- | turous period of growing up. In | contrast with the fast motion of events in kis youth, the calmer part of the story, after he had reached | manhood is pleasing in its quiet | restfulness.

By Frederick J. Allen, 'A.M. 178 | pages. Price, $2.25.. The Mac- | Millan Company of Canada, Tor- onto, Publishers, Advertising as a vocation or a pro- fession is daily coming to occupy a nore and more important place in the world. Today tens of thousands of the brightest young men in Can- ada and the United States are adopt-+ ing it as their life work, Any book, therefore, which will assist them in their chosen calling cannot but be helpful. The present reviewer, who has had some considerable experience In the newspaper Advertising field, took up this book in critical mood: He soon found that it Was not alone a concise history of the development of advertising but that it contained many important facts that character- ize advertising as a Yocation, includ- ing the ethical demands now made upon it by the business world. It tabulates the numerous forms and methods of publicity and the many mediums through which news and announcements about merchandise or yarious other things must be pre- sented to public attention, for the purpose of Increased sales. In his Introduction the author Says: "As a \factor of distribution, advertising 'is essentially a means for 'making known to consumers the nature of goods offered for sale and their ad- aptability to the consumers' known jot possible wants." Where could one find a better definition of adver- Itising? The task undertaken by the Xmas Greeting Cards k representative 3 i & p TISH WHIG author is mainly the arousing of a more intelligent interest in the busi- ness of advertising as a calling. The book alms to set forth some of the nain points which must be consider- 'd in attempting to appreciate ad- vertising as a busiress just as various publications ; which have appeared during the past four of five years aim to present a clear statement of the place of advertising as a factor in distribution. It ought to be a distinet serviee in helping one to choose that side of the advertising business to which his talents are best adapted.

CH CANADA From, picturesque Chateau Fron- tenae, Quebec, has come a book with the title "Chansons of Old Frenth Canada," to intrigue those who de- light in resuscitations of music left forgotten in the byways of other centuries. It is a quaint and attrac- tively printed volume, of paper covers. The title page explains that accompaniments . are by Margaret Gascoigne, script by James Kennedy, and {llustrations--with dashes of red supplementing black and white -by Ethel Seath. There is a pre- face by C. Marius Barbeau, who re- joices that "in the desert of Ameri- can uniformity the ancient rural dis- tricts of Quebec form a quaint oasis where industrialism and cupidity have not yet withered all local co- lor, and individual bias or charm. Leisure and galety have not alto- gether vanished.

Caswell. 157 pages. - McClelland & Stew- art, Torontd, publishers. Mr. Caswell, who is assistant libra. rian and secretary-treasurer of the Toronto public library, has in this collection performed a useful public service 'and at the same time given us a choice collection of Canadian verse in the authors' own handwrit- ing and, in most instances, with the poet's portrait as well. Not alone to those Who have some acquaintance with our Canadian poets, but to al lovers .of poetry, this collection will strongly appeal. The selection has been carefully made, and this book may well be termed a chalice of gems. To have in their possession such world-famous poems as "In Flanders Fields" 'and the hymn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," in the actual handwriting of the authors, reproduced in fac-simile, will be con- sidered by many to be worth more in themselves than the price of the whole book. . remem THE BRITISH CAMPAIGN IN FRANCE AND FLANDERS By Arthur Conan Doyle. 397 A Hodder & Stoughton, Ltd.

It covers the folJowing phases of the conflict: The "German retreat upon the Arras-Sgissons front, the battle 1917), operations in the Arras sector from April 23rd onwards, the battle of Messines, operations from June 10th to July 31st, the third battle of Ypres (July 31st to Nov. 10th, 1917), and the battle of Cambrai. Those who have read the previous volumes will not n to be told of the splen- did service which this famous althor, acting in the capacity of the official British historian of the war, has ren- dered to the Empire and the world at large by the thorough manner in Which Ke is carrying through the tremendous task of putting on paper the deeds and accomplishments of the Empire's forces.

Pointing to a hugh tank | far down in the hold of the ship, he [ sald: The oil in that tank is the most | important thing. Without the oil the | engines could not run and the rudder would not work to steer the ship to | shore. Then the author applies the lesson, after this manner: "This is true to life, Oil is a smogth, a gentle thing, and géntle- ness is the most important thing in lite. What is the highest type of | man? A gentleman, What makes | things go with smoothness? Why, | gentleness. The Lord says: 'A soft { answer turneth away wrath' The | 'great King David admitted this truth | when he said: 'Thy gentléness hath | made me' great."
