LORD'S---BOOKS Just Inside the West Davis Street Door Esther Gould's Book Corner JUST PARAGRAPHS Lewis Carroll's manuscript of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" which is in the possession of the original Alice, is soon to be sold at auction in England. It is not only a manuscript but a work of art, since it is beautifully written and illustrated with pen and ink drawings by the author. The price will. go into the thousands of pounds. An old Englishman, grandfather of Douglas Jerrold, a present author, found a way of becoming popular with his literary friends. When, having adversely criticized the book of one of them he was accosted by that friend he replied, "I didn't say-your book was the worst book you had ever written, I said it was the worst book anyone had ever written, DISCOVERED BY A FRIEND "CONQUISTADOR" By Philip Guedalla Harper and Brothers Mr. Guedalla is one of the kindest and most tactful of our commenators. Contrary to the custom of visiting critics he goes so far as to suggest that an almost non-stop trip across the continent has not enabled him to solve our race, crime and prohibition problems. In short Mr. Guedalla proves himself as tactful, as discern- ing and as considerate as we had ex- pected him to be. "Conquistador" is a purely delightful book. It is in the lighter vein as might be gathered from its subtitle "American Fantasia" and its dedica- Clear up bloodshot eyes quickly and safely When eyes become blood shot from wind, dust, over-use, crying or lack of sleep, apply a few drops of harmless Murine. Soon they will be clear again and will feel refreshed and vigorous. Many persons use Murine each night and morning to keep their eyes always clear and bright. A month's supply of this long- trusted lotion costs but 6oc. RINE EYES tion "To my charming guardians, the Pullman Porters of America." It is delightful first of all for its style, that style which - never {fails Mr. Guedalla, which he uses as a good fencer his sword, swiftly, brilliantly, with dexterity and not often to wound. In the second place "Conquistador" is delightful because of the revelation it makes of Mr. Guedalla himself. He talks of newspapers and visiting royalty, of Iowa and Henry James, as whimsically and informally as if we had dropped down beside him during one of the long stretches across the Western plains. In the third and still important place, "Conquistador" is interesting for its point of view on America. We who have a passion for seeing our- selves as others see us so that we buy in quantities the most insulting books that are written about us, have here an opportunity of seeing ourselves through the new, observing, interest- ed eyes of a friend. "MIGRATION" By David Grew Charles Scribner's Sons "Migration," a first novel by David Grew, has that quality we call charm. The charm is not in the style, which is simple sometimes almost to the point of childishness--a telling of one incident after another witls even em- phasis and little feeling for climax-- but it is in the spirit and the point of view. Is it possible that we have turned the corner with our first novel- ists from cynicism to idealism? There have been in the past two seasons a gool many indications that this is true. "Migration" is a story of the prairies. Not a disillusioned story but one in which there is, rather, a slight stack- ing of the cards in our favor, some- THIS IS A NOVEL OF GREAT IMPORTANCE but NOT MAGNOLIA Edith Everett Taylor Out of the South comes a haunting story of love and beauty. $2.00 E.

Truth is so much less charming, com- pare Dreiser's stories with those of, say, Susan Ertz. But this stacking of the cards does not detract from the value of "Migra- tion." In fact it is a pleasure in itself, a relief to feel them stacked and to know that even though Marcia does run off with the circus, yet she will return, and not return to die in Sta- cey's arms of the injuries she has received in a fall off her horse, but return to go with him back to the prairies, to keep his house and rear his children and be his "vision" of adventure and life, Elect North Shore Girls To Office in N.

JAMES STEPHENS' NEW BOOK In "Etched in Moonlight" James Stephens as in the past, but never more skilfully than here, blends irony and satire, naturalism and extravagance, poetry and sardonic prose in a match- less medley. "Etched in Moonlight" is a gem not to be missed this season by anyone capable of distinguishing art from its drearily plenteous imi- tations.--Philadelphia Record. A SCUTHERN BOOK CLUB The book chosen for March by the Religious Book Club of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, is "New Studies in Mystical Religion," by Rufus Jones--a recent Macmillan book ($1.75). This club selects four out- standing religious books each year to recommend to its members, and of those chosen during the past year three were Macmillan books.
