WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 b : : Reading Lamp HE WM ABOUT BOOKS AND THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE THEM Copyright 1923, Howard H. Seward A Volume of Unusual Charm MY GARDEN OF MEMORY By Kate Douglas Wiggin Whatever constitutes the peculiar at- traction of well-written autobiography it is certain that "My Garden of Mem- ory," by Kate Douglas Wiggin, possess- es it in a supreme degree. It pages are packed with interest and it will be eag- erly welcomed by grateful multitudes whose hearts have been touched by "The Birds' Christmas Carol;" who have lounged and laughed through Europe with Penelope, and have followed with delight the fortunes of the inimitable Rebecca. Appearing, as it does, at the close of her busy and happy life, Mrs. Wiggin's Autobiography comes as a fitting climax to her career. From its beginning-- "When I was a little girl"--the record runs with delightful spontaneity through the story of a New England girlhood; describes a brief but notable journey with Charles Dickens; life in Cali- fornia; kindergarten and teaching ex- periences; Furopean travel; adventures with . authors and publishers; {riend- ships with famous personages and con- cludes with a chapter of rare and intim- ate beauty entitled "The Song is Never l"nded." By them who have known and loved Kate Douglas Wiggin--*"the Lady of the Twinkle and the Tear'--this at- tractive volume ill be read not only for the entertainment it affords for. its. revelation of the unspoiled personality of this brilliant woman, who looked: out on life with the seeing eye of humor and with ready aptitude interpreted the vision with a skill and clarity that brought her worldwide fame. In her "Garden of Memory" the dear creator of Timothy, Penelope, Rebecca and countless others, lives anew, for .it]. is; in very truth--"Herself." ,. . Jennie Betts Hartswoick Happy Verses: 1:1" "TERSE VERSE AND WORSE!" By Paul Libby The author is so genial and modest about this little book that criticism is disarmed.

Slip this book in your pockét and 'réad it' on the subway and you will be able to re- tain your good nature. James Walter Doughty "FROM IMMIGRANT TO INVENTOR" : By Michael Pupin This is the autobiography of Profes- sor Pupin, of Columbia, inventor of ra- dio tuning and of the inductance coil system used in long-distance telephony. He was born in an Austrian village populated with Serbs. His father and mother could neither read nor write. Young Pupin landed in America 48 years ago with only five cents in his pocket. Here he worked on farms, served as a strike-breaking longshore- man, and became a biscuit-stamper in a cracker factory. Having learned Latin and Greek from a fellow-employee and attended lectures at Cooper Union, Pupin entered Colum- bia. After graduation he studied at the Universities of Cambridge and of Ber- lin. Later he joined the Columbia fac- ulty as teacher of mathematical physics. Dr. Pupin reveals himself as an ideal- ist in science. He says that "in every creative physicist there is hidden a meta- physicist and a poet." None other than a poet at heart could have written this book. H. Beach Carpenter Famous Men in New Lights "VENTURES IN BOOX # COLLECTING" - By William Harris Arnol This book is a veritable treasure house of letters, anecdotes, and autographs of many men and women famous in litera- ture. Aside from its interest to those who own books for "their meat," as a record of a book collector who had ap- preciation and wisdom in his collecting, this book is delightful to the layman. Surely in the chapter on "Some Eight- eenth Century Books and Letters" every book lover will find a glimpse of a fav- orite literary genius revealed in a let- ter or an anecdote told by some equally interesting figure of that century. Three other chapters stand by them- selves: "Some Victorian Books and Letters," "My Tennyson's" and "My Stevenson's ;" many will find it worth while to buy the book for these alone. The illustrations are particularly inter- esting and show many letters, auto- graphs, fly-leaves and presentation cop- tes of well known books and photo- graphs. j Rachel Whitcomb Shipman : Kenilworth Scouts In Interesting Contests A very interesting and novel contest will be held at the next meeting of the Kenilworth Scout Troop No. 1 on Tues- day, November 27. y The contest will center around the building of 'a fire By friction and over 20 sets of "fire by friction" outfits have béen ordered for that event.
