They fill two distinct needs--that of the traveler who wishes to acquaint himself with the country he expects to visit and of the stay-at-homes who can go to foreign climes only by way of the printed page. A few of the new books are review- ed in another column on this page but there is also a long list of older books that are excellent. Among them we might mention O'Brien's "Shadows of the South Seas," "India" by Chirol and Harry Frank's books. Travel books of America will be re- viewed next week. --M. P. N nature is JUST PARAGRAPHS Henry Ford has followed up iis "My Life and Work" by another vol- ume written in collaboration with Samuel Crowther, "Today and Tomoi - row." R. L, Duffus in a review of the book remarks, "The Ford Company as he sees it, is no mere business enter- prise. It is a crusade. It is an attempt to reorganize civilization. For those who like quiet ways and things as they are, Henry Ford is more of a treat than Lenin." The author of the popular "Ariel" of last year has not done so well for us in his Igtest book, "Mope, the orld of Illusions." With the same light graceful style he has given us several very pleasant little stories, but they are slight in the light they cast on the historical characters, and strung together so loosely that one struggles long for the connecting bond.

Wells Grass Cooper Wandering in Northern China Franck ~--WINNETKA PUBLIC LIBRARY THE SILVER SPOON By John Galsworthy. Mr. Galsworthy has written another of his well executed novels which take their places so closely fitted together in "The Forsyte Saga." In this, "The Silver Spoon," Michael and his wife Fleur, who figured largely in "The White Monkey" are carried on through some troubled months of their lives. And troubled by such a petty thing-- a slander suit brought bv a young woman of the most emancipated "set" against Fleur for the retaliation Fleur made when attacked maliciously bv this young woman. Mr. Galsworthy has chosen this petty thing, not from lack of capacity to think of something else, but from design. Because its very pettiness symbolizes the childish pettiness of an age which know!ng no worthy outlet for its energy, because believing in nothing worthy it can think of nothing worthy. strikes out aimless obiects with the vindictiveness of a spoiled child. Spoiled child is the very suggestion made by the title, the very crux of the situation as regards the actions of Fleur and the others of her circle. Michael with his wistful honesty, while he is not spoiled himself, vet is a pro- duct of his age in that he does not know more than thev what he or it wants. His championship of the im- practical "Foegartism," a scheme to cart most of Eneland's children to the colonies, fs a satire on the world: Without a nrevious knowledge of the characters of "The Silver Spoon" we doubt whether it would seem to one a complete novel. --Esther Gould THE RovAL Roap to RomMANCE--Rich- ard Halliburton.
