The Canadian Mother's Book--Some- thing Really Helpful. From the Départment of Health of Canada comes a very valuable little book entitled "The Canadian Mother's Book." Too much cannot be said for it, for- with proper cir- culation, it will do a .work which bas long been neglected the world over. It gives sound, reliable and cheerful informatioh to young mothers or mothers-to-be, informa- tion-and facts of the sort which they would not obtain from other sources because of the very natural reserve everyone feels in connection with such matters. 2 One of the big points of the book Is its reliability. The sources of in- : formation available have been mere- Iy matters of chance and guesswork, ahd the advice which a young mother would receive from many different sources is usually so varied and jum- bled as to leave her bewildered and in many cases frighten Such "old woman's tales". and harm- ful yarns do a great deal more harm than good, and it is with the idea of giving the Canadian mother a sound, private and useful 'source or information that this book is put ou - The book Is printed iy both French ; and English and any Canadian mother or any other person in Can- ada may secure a copy by writing to the Depu Minister of Health, Ottawa, : TWO NEW BOOKS YOU WILL ENJOY Your Rook Seller Has These, By W, J, Locke. ~ THE UNTEBANK, Locke the inimitable, has produc- nother; different from what any one else would do: unusual as al- . ways charm ment. meshall : The sTRkNaTS OF THE PINES, A r Ago, in "The Voice of the Pack Edison Marshall set a new note in combining romancé and "na- ture-study.

Fletcher, The Macmillan Company of Canada, Toronto, Price 82.00, A "detective story" by Mr. Fletch- er needs no recommendation, as his ability along this line is already too well established to need any further comment. The "Chestéermarcke in- stinet" gives a type of criminal, types of people not met before in Mr. Fletcher's books but it lacks a lot of the human touch felt in "The Orange-Yellow Diamond." It is not possible that all the peo- ple In the story should have thought of nothing but the disappearance of John Horbury from the opening of the book until the last, shold have done nothing. but search for him ana Walch. others making the search. Of course their main work during that time was the search for the missing bank manager, but there certainly must have been little spaces of time, odd intervals during meals or just before retiring, when their thoughts, actions and conversations turned to something else besides the question of the moment, even if it had only been playing marbles. In great crises and during times of worry and trou- ble the mind of man turns to small and trivial things whieh amaze him when he realizes what" he has been thinking or doing, Despite this the story is of unusual interest, as one of Fletcher's mys- teries is bound to be. The thing to guess about insthis book is not the identity of the criminals, for they be- ¢ame apparent almost from the start, but to discover the method of their crime apd to prove thelr guilt. © BOOK PAGE SAT., APRIL 16.

Then, too, witht such-little flowers of brightness the coming of wisdom very often means the going of much of that charm which is theirs. Their very unso- phistication is one of their greatest beauties. In many ways this book is an im- Provement over the one preceding. The only weak point in it is its simil- arity. Fundamentally, the two char- acters are almost' the same. The fact that one is French and the other Irish makes no difference in those traits which make their lives one stream of sunshine for others and for themselves. This, Eowever, can easily be forgiven once a reader has made the acquaintance of Rose or Jackie. Those who met Rose could scarcely have been better pleased than to find her reincarnated in Jackie, while the settings and sup- porting characters in "Jackie" are distinctly different from those of the earlier Publication in many ways. "Jackie" is a stronger book than "Rose 0' the Sea" but has a tendency to show more of the seamy side of life. This, while it may be more true to life than its omission might make it, nevertheless would be better left out. There is too much of the mor- bid and of dwelling on the morbid in modern literature. Authors are prone to forget that a great many children and young people are their readers, even though adults may be their critics. » THE GREY ROOM. By Eden Phillpotts. The' MacMillan Company, Toronto, One must cultivate a taste for the books of Eden Pilipotts as the liking for olives is brought on, unless the first three chapters .of the first of his works the reader picks up can be endured. After that the rest is plain sailing. His books hold one in some manner which caunot be readily "ex- plained, unless it be that he can write a slow-moving stofy which will at the same time hold interest. Usually the mystery story is fast In action and the reader rushes from one chapter to apother. In "The Grey Room," the mystery is unfold- ed slowly, to the finest detail, and Is therefore given a really artistic toch of horror. The usual yarn of darkness contains so many murders to, the chapter, or' so many other things bappening in quick conjunc: tion with the murder or murders, that one grows callous to mere human life apd crime and begins to feel like 'quite a desperate character, Phillpotts gives no chance for this. Quite slowly and carefully, as if he were writing the history of China or 80me such other weighty document, he furnishes the details of the deaths resulting from thé inevitable "family skeleton" of an English house. It is quite unusual in this case and there- fore more attractive, In spite of this slow unfolding and minuten€ss of detail, which allows for no concealment or slurring over of important details to be remember- ed at the end of the story, "The Grey Room," defies solution . until the author is quite ready to tell what the solution is and to explain it all. He does not even give one the satisfac- tion of having large numbers of "suspects," but conscientiously ex- onerates .everybndy so well that the reader has a terrible fear that it is a hoax and that he will be told in the last chaptér that the '"'victims" all died from heart failure or some other natural cause. However, they didn't--the book tells the rest. A CASE IN CAMERA. By Oliver Onions, The MacMillan + Company, Toronto. A man was killed; not a coolie in some dark lane in India; not a native carrier in the deepest jungle "of Afri- ca; but an'Englishman, well-known: the crime took place in London, if it was a crime; and yet the police did not raise a hue and cry; Scotland yard did not look wise something sensational; the law did not figure in the case a' all. It was "A Case in Camera," settled out of court. The first issue of this book was en- tirely cleaned out of the first day of publication. It promises now to be one of the best sellers both in Eng- land and America. Those who have read the story have been very em- phatic in their praises, There is a little of everything mixed up in it.
