Athough Dr. Hook'- volume i.s excellently written it fi greatly invoived in the discussiome of various, doctrines and philosôphie. related, to. Marxigm. Some of -tht chapter heads are "Tbe Ortbodo;% Canonization," "TheRevisionist Ex-' - eesi,""The,.Syndicalist Heresy,' wich are in tbemsehves strange haniguage to the ordinary layrnan. The doctrines and ýthe,,interpreta- tions that.bave become an, outgrowth of the original pbilosopby of Marxi are ýmany. Even during bis lifetime Marx "watched witb critical uneasi- ness tbe doctrinal deviations, and false tactical moves of bis adherents tbrougbout the world, and especialiy in Germiany." Tbe author explains in luminous detail the purposes and, con- structions of tbe fonr great moye- menti. wbicb clairned "to be carrying 'on in tbe great spirit of Marx." SDr. Hook's own interpretation of Marx's théories is cd.aiy. given and defies many of tbe Socialists who still claim to be true - to Marx. In a brief review it is impossible to' go' into detail concerning the variousý points in tbèé.author's interpretation such as Marx's conception of bis- tory, of the c'Iass struggle, bis tbeôry I of the State, of revolution, etc. The interest in Marx bas been especialiy outstanding this year because of the celebration during the spring of the fiftietb anniversary 'of bis deatb. Book flouse Fias SExhibit at Fair Tbe Book House for Cbiidren has anu unusuaily attractive exhibit in the So- cial Science bail at A Century of Prog- ress. A large bomse made out of books is surrounded by reai trees and a stone waii. Inside the bouse there is a forty- foot lengtb murai designed and painted by 'Miss Muriel Wilhoit of.

Written 'by a Princess un. >s der the old regime, it tells of tb< is feasts and banquets which made ur ýs an important part of tbe hile of tlht à nobiiity in, the days of the Tzars. e The Princesi, however, bhas1, comn x passion on ber readers. At .tbe end of each clhaeter in wbicb she bas dis- cussed tbe Ihaciousness, of various eRussian dish es,' sbe gives the recipes for tbem, so tbat one's moutb, may *not'water in vain, ignorance. As- she i berseif explains, sbe bas simplified C tbem , white retaining the true Rus- sian flavor and essence, so that bei Amùerican sisters tan, use temo 1 their own 'tables. And this' is true. ifor these Russian recipes are aniaz- ringly simple-their names are really ithe most difficult part of tbem. Any one wbo likes Russian food, and likes, to putte r about and. experimeni in a kitchen, will bave no trouble coi1- coctinig tbemî, and their range is most inclusive - everytbing from Smokva-a kcnd of Russian carndy- to the common stewed beef-Toosh- onoye-Miaso, please, if you are Rus- sian I There is an interesting chapter on Russian bolidays and feast days, with the kind of food that ortbodox Rus- sians use on eacb, and tbe recipe for making tbem. As the Princess naive- ly explains, wben sbe came to this country, ber American friends ex- pected ber to serve tbem Russian food, although "I didn't even know how to f ry two' eggs, let alone broil a' cbop. But where there is a wiil, there is 'a way, and my own Ionging for Russian food was so great, that i.n several years I had acquired quite a "repertoire" of Russian 'na- tional dishes wîtb whicb I regaled my American friends. Here are s'orne of the favorite ones." Tbe next time you bave "the gils". over to. luncheon, *hy, not go Rus- sian, .with,. say, tbe following lunch- eon:.

Nancy is a talented young actress, sincere in ber idéalistic devotion to ber art and in ber, simple loyalty to Chris., And Chris, an equally talented playwrigbt, shares ber idéals and loyalties until lie finds that, translated, into a play, there is no market for such stuif.
