THE WALDEN ~~ BOOK SHOPS 410 No. Michigan Ave. 307 Plymouth Court CHICAGO "It Happened in Peking" --Louise Jordan Miln Mrs. Louise Jordan Miln has writ- ten another of her brightly colored romances in the setting of China. These novels are woven with two sets of threads, one, the background, the gold and silver, jade green, and tur- quoise blue of China, the other the love story, of good old American black and white cotton. It is sometimes a shock to change from one to the other, but perhaps it is well in order to satisfy all types. "They had but two things in com- mon. They had those two very strong- ly: a stinging dislike of each other, a bitter dislike of China," is the intri- guing way in which the story begins. And so we are more than reasonably certain since one is a man and the other a girl that before the end of the story we shall see a reversal of both of these aversions. It is through the agency of the Boxer Rebellion that this is brought about, the hardships endured togeth- er bringing about one, the kindness shown them by some of the Chinese, the other. The story is well written as are all Mrs. Miln's, they give more the ex- terior than the interior view of China but they give that colorfully. The publication department of the National board of the Y.W.C.A. is issuing, this month, a volume of poems, "The Pilgrim Ship," by Katharine Lee Bates. The author wrote part of them while she was traveling through Egypt and Palestine. When Will Durant, author of "The Story of Philosophy" came out to the Middle West to lecture, the railroads must have known he was coming, for he traveled out on a car named" Di- Ogeags," and back on one called "Hem- ock.

Martha Ostenso's first novel "Wild Geese" was a good book, noted prin- cipally for two things, its poetic feel- ing for nature and its dramatic treat- ment. "The Dark Dawn," her second novel, has both of these qualities yet they are so combined and executed that neither one is particularly effec- tive. The dramatic treatment espe- cially, is carried on into melodrama so that attempted suicides and heart failures, rescuing and dyings all go on at once like a three ring circus, to bring about the necessary happy end- ing. This does not mean that Martha Ostenso cannot do good work in the future. She has shown that she has it in her. It merely means that this particular novel was written too hastily or in a too little considered attempt to fit another in the same pattern as her earlier successful one. "My Heresies" --Bishop William Montgomery This book by Bishop William Mont- gomery Brown is quite an unusual thing. It is not many men who have the sincerity, the patience, the forti- tude, to analyze dispassionately their mental development. That is what Bishop Brown has done and that fact alone makes the book worth while. He describes himself as the little boy bound out to a farmer to work when he was only six and a half years old. The farmer didn't believe in education so Bill Brown grew up without the faintest rudiments of one. When he determined to get one himself he was so far behind that he had to take all the short cuts. He didn't study any- thing that didn't apply actually to the point. And this singlemindedness be- ing just what the church wanted he rose rapidly. Then one day when he was laid up with illness he read Darwin. A whole new world opened before him. How he tried to reconcile this world with the church is the plot of the story. It is written tersely, clearly, in a style almost journalistic. --EsraEr GouLp The methods of displaying books in English bookstores differ radically from what we see here in America. High bookshelves are placed close to the windowpanes, some of the books opened so that the pages can be read by the passerby. In this way several feet of floor space is saved.
