In "Home Talent" ILouise Closser Hale has written an interesting story of the stage. Interesting because to the poor layman who pays a fabulous price to sit humbly before the row of footlights, that row marks the be- ginning of an enchanted land in which Mrs. Hale is an intimate. It is in- teresting to hear the inside story of a "first night," the terrible stage fright which makes the cast go about hoping that they will be run over be- fore the zero hour, the good will of directors, other players, friends, which buoys up their fainting courage; it is interesting to hear something of" di- rectors and the directing of a play, the way it shapes itself as the re- hearsals go on, as surely as clay takes on meaning under the sculptor's hands. The plot of the book is not start- ling, the style in which it is written, while it is competent, is not inspired. It is the story of how Sharlie Flagg, who thought her heart's desire lay on the stage, finds it is in being a good man's wife, after all. Sharlie, with her winning personal- ity and her red hair, has never found a better outlet for her talent for act- ing than "The Door of Hope Dramatic Society" in High Plattie, until sud- denly finding a way to raise the neces- sary carfare and breaking away from THE SACRED TREE By Lady Murasakl This continuation of "The Tale of Genji" is even more delightful than the first volume, called one of the world's great masterpieces. Houghton Mifflin Co. $3.50 Beauty Lies in Healthy EYES It's not so much the size or color of the EYES that makes them beautiful. Rather, it's the glow which radiates from them.

The Murine Company Vept. 33, Chicago RINE, JV EYES a dyspeptic aunt, she sets forth over the long well-worn trail to New York. But Sharlie, unlike most of her kind, has a lucky star. And on her first day in New York she happens to walk past the stage door of the theatre where temperamental Alexis Orso is raging against his red haired leading lady, who is always late for rehears- als. Catching sight of Sharlie he has an inspiration, and dragging her in, inserts her in the leading lady's part. Sharlie makes good, and then after the necessary trials and vicissitudes decides she loves Ben Dorsey of High Platte better than her career. WONDERS REAL AND UN- 3 REAL "THE YOUNG FOLKS BOOK OF INVENTIONS" By T. C. Bridges, ud "THE YOUNG FOLKS BOOK OF MYTHS" By Amy Cruse. Little Brown & Co. Two more fascinating books have been added to the series published for young people by Little Brown and company about the interesting things of the world. First there is the Book of Inventions." It is a good thing for youth in this blase age which has ceased to raise an eye- brow at the sight of men flying about like birds or swimming under water like fish, to call attention to the number of really remarkable things by which we are surrounded. We ourselves have become as used to thé wonders of fire and glass as the younger generation to the radio, yet they were far more momentous dis- coveries when they were made, cen- turies ago. It is a very fair history of the race, this tracing of it by its inventions and makes besides, a very interesting story. The other book "The Young Folks Book of Myths" is a work, beautiful- ly illustrated by drawings and repro- ductions of famous pictures, telling the myths and legends of the various races of the earth. It gives an opportunity to trace the parallel stories which have come down to us pointing to a common ancestry or common experience of the race. In Greece Orpheus has to seek Eury- dice in the Land of Shades, while in India Sitra is carried off by the wick- ed Ravanna, and her husband, Rama, goes to search for her. It is well written and interesting to read from cover to cover as well as being very valuable as a book of reference. "Young Folks The English language has been en- riched by a new word, "thobbing," created by Mr. Henshaw Ward, which though not very musical has its place. It is derived from "think," "opinion" DOUBLY A PRIZE NOVEL Femina Vie Heureuse Prize for ""the Best English Novel by a Woman"' PRECIOUS BANE By MARY WEBB French Committee's Annual Prize for ""the Best Work of Fiction" $2.00 at all bookstores E.P.

The idea is all right but the word is not half so good as the one coined for Chicago atmosphere--'"smog. It looks as if Floyd Dell after some rather futile wandering were return- ing to ground he knows. His latest book is "Love in Greenwich Village." Romance of Hawaii Miss Elizabeth Singleton Mr. and Mrs. Shelby M. Singleton of 1104 Forest avenue, Wilmette, an- nounce the engagement of their daugh- ter, Elizabeth A. Singleton, to Edward Green Wingate of Washington, D. C. and Hawaii. The wedding will take place in Honolulu the last of August. Fishermen Rescue Boys From Lake in Storm Three boys were rescued by fisher- men when an old scow in which they were paddling turned over about a quarter of a mile off the breakwater at Wilmette harbor during a squall last Sunday afternoon. They are Rob- ert Kelly, 12 years old, his brother, Bernard, 10 years old, 2754 Carmen avenue, Evanston, and William Meek- er, 10 years old, 805 Milburn street, Evanston. The boys clung to their craft when it overturned and their cries of distress were heard by the fishermen who rescued them before they were much the worse for their accident. ---- The Mother's association of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority gave an af- ternoon bridge party Thursday, Jun at the home of Mrs. Archibald A. Kinley of Evanston, to raise funds for the furnishing of the new sorority house. % 3 One of Farnol's Best Novels THE HIGH ADVENTURE By JEFFERY FARNOL A romantic tale of lusty ad- venture by the famous author of '""The Broad Highway." $2.00 at all Booksellers LITTLE, BROWN © CO.
