But we have lived through other seasons as prolific and it is probable that we will get through this one. Among the interesting ones just off the presses Senator Beveridge's "Life of Lincoln" ranks high. It is written not in the sketchy method of the popular fictional biographer but as the New York Times says "Beveridge's way was to get all the facts, sift them and present them, in the conviction that the character would emerge of it- self. It did." As proof again that the really great and flaming personalities of the world never grow old, Rachel Annand Taylor has written a brilliant biography of "Leonardo the Floren- tine." In her pages the great colorful age and its greatest genius come to life again. HERE WE ARE "DIVERSEY" By MacKinlay Kantor Coward-MeCann Again we figure in fiction. Mc-Kin- lay Kantor's story "Diversey" is, as might be suspected from its title about Chicago. It is one of those tales told in short barks, somewhat like a series of movie inserts. Guns, lights, toots, wild women whirl by so gloriously and incessantly that one is moved to go in to our city and have another look. There must be a lot we missed the last time. Marry Javlyn came to Chicago from an Iowa town where he had been re- Soothes and Refreshes Motorists' Eyes Eyes strained by hours at the wheel and irritated by exposure to sun, wind and dust are instant- ly relieved by Murine.

Write Murine Co., Chicago, for FREE books on Eye Beauty and Eye Care URIN oR YOUR EYES porter for the "Courier." He came as most young men of his kind would come--for excitement, for epportunity, for new experience. He got them, to a certain extent, all. Excitement in his love affair begun with no delay with the green eyed girl across the hall, in the bootleg war in which he becomes involved; opportunity in the chances offered by the city papers of which he has not at the end of the book taken advantage; new experiences at every turn in the bewildering pageant of city life. Marry sees it all as a pageant passing against the background of the little Towa town, the Dorset porch, the "Courier" office early in the morning. The story is as broken as a cloisonne vase by the time you can get to it, but there is a jazzing zesture, youthful quality which makes it good of its kind. BY AN INDIAN "LONG LANCE" By Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance Cosmopolitan Book Corp. One evening in the dining room of the fabulously lovely hotel at Lake Louise I looked up to see an unusually striking man in evening clothes walk- ing with great dignity down the length of the room. Immediately there was a murmur, originating in thin air as those murmurs always do, "That's a full-blooded Indian chief, he is a col- lege graduate and did distinguished service in the War. He is an author, too, he has a book which is going to be published." That was too much! The entire dining-room gave itself up to staring in child-like delight. But it did not perturb in the least the stately figure, walking as if through one of his own forests, his fearless eyes straight ahead, his skin no darker than the sun had made other skins in the room, his features like an Indian carved in bronze. It would be enter- taining to be able to say that this Indian chief was Chief Buffalo Child Long Dance, author of the book "Long Lance." Unfortunately IT have not the faintest idea, yet it might have been for the publisher's blurb on the cover coincides in all the particulars with that murmur. But T have forgotten the Indian name that I heard then. This book "Long Lance" is not a book of the world in which its author now lives, but a story of the Indian world in which he lived years ago. Very simply and yet with a great deal of grace and polish he has told this THE COMING of the LORD By Sarah Gertrude Millin On a greater canvas than any she has used before, Mrs. Millin tells another superb story of South Africa. Blending many themes to- gether as in a fugue she achieves a swift tragis crescendo. Horace Liveright, N. Y. Don't Miss BROOK EVANS By Susan Glaspell Of which the New York Evening Post says: "A simple, direct beau- tifully powerful novel such as you may happen on less than three or four times a year." Frederick A. Stokes Co., N. Y. story, of buffalo hunts, the exploits of medicine men, wars and the queer wild tribal dances in which he has taken part many times. It is all part of an almost forgotten time, yet would you believe that many of the most famous chiefs still live, that only a little over twenty years ago these Indians saw their first white men It is like a speeded up movie, but it is true. This is a book to be read for it is one of the few that we will ever have from one of the Indians who lived in that famous, glamorous time. Essays Launch Career of Charles S. Brooks Charles S. Brooks, whose new book, "Roads to the North," will be pub- lished on October 11 by Harcourt, Bace and company, first won his repu- tation by a series of books of essays, many of them dealing with England and in a style reminiscent of Charles Lamb. His first travel book, "A Thread of English Road." dealt with the inci- dents of a cycling trip across southern England. Mr. Brooks lives in Cleve- land and is responsible for the con- struction and progress of the Cleve- land Little Theatre, one of the most successful ventures of this sort in the country. His work is to be found from time to time in the leading magazines. "Roads to the North," his new book, deals with Mr. Brooks' adventures along the great Roman road to Scot- land. He is one of those who believe that there is more pleasure and profit to be gained by a mile on foot or on a bicycle than a hundred miles of tear- ing through a country in an automo- bile. Incidentally, Mr. Brooks was recent- lv awarded the honorary degree of D. Litt. by Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania. POSTPONED TILL SPRING Harcourt, Brace and company an- nounce that the following books, orig- inally scheduled for publication this fall, have been postponed till spring, 1929: "The Structure of the Novel" by Edwin Muir; "Lyrical Poetry from Blake to Hardy," by H. J. C. Grierson; "Phases of English Poetry," by Her- bert Read; "The American Experi- ment," by Bernard Fay; "Middletown : A Study in Contemporary American Culture," by Robert S. and Helen Mer- rell Lynd; "Tree Crops," by J. Russell Smith; "Mediaeval Culture: An Intro- duction to Dante and His Times," by Karl Vossler. » LATEST IN TRANSPORTATION In "Beneath Tropic Seas" William Beebe's record of the Haitian expedi- tion for the New York Zoological so- ciety, the scientist observes a method of transportation that would doubtless end all the controversy over the seven- cent fare: "There floated past an im- mense jellyfish = overflowing with small fish, all alive, all crowded into its interior. There must have been at least three hunded and fifty small fish in the heart of this mighty jellv when it was vibrating slowly along." "THOUGH THIS BE MADNESS" Only a few weeks before his death in Tahiti at the age of forty, Robert Keable completed his last novel, "Though This Be Madness." just pub- lished by G. P. Putnam's Sons. Tt is the story of a man who rebels against the conventions and has been favor- ably compared by English critics to his well-known "Simon Called Peter." BOOK ON LITERATURE Prof. Jack Crawford who has been for nineteen years on the English fac- ulty at Yale, has written a book that will be of exceptional interest to those people concerned in honest personal reading.
