Lord's Stationery and Book Shop First Floor Just inside the West Davis Street Door | NEWEST BOOKS AND BOOK REVIEWS A Novel Question Book Samuel Hopkins Adams has taken enough time off from the new novel he is writing to complete a most in- teresting question book for Boni and Liveright. On Mr. Adams' visit to their offices during the last year, it became almost a rite for Mr. Liveright and other persons of that office to play a game which Mr. Adams introduced, and which consisted of Mr. Adams as the interrogator describing some fa- mous person in history or contem- porary life, the description of this per- son being so hidden in a maze of paradoxes that it required ingenuity to discover who Mr. Adams was pre- tending to be. So that in the course of his various visits Mr. Adams appeared in the guise of at least a thousand peo- ple. This game, it seemed to his pub- lishers, was far superior to the ordinary question and answer games in that it constituted each player his own de- tective and therefore this game has taken the form of a book called "Who and What--a Book of Clues for Clever People." A book which ought to knock all fictitious mystery stories into a cocked hat will be "On Special Missions, The Inside Story of the German Espionage and the Allied Counter-Espionage Sys- tems," by Charles Lucieto, special agent of the French Secret Service. If the sample issued beforehand is to be believed it is thrilling reading. XIX III IXIIIIIIIIIAAAA a * $ pe * New Books for } wi .

Lawrence? Why, he is the man who brought romance back into life--romance and adventure and the possibility of the impossible. Since the beginning of the age of speciali- zation and standardization adventure has been in the hands of experts-- bandits, bootleggers and the like who have made of it a profitable but ex- tremely drab business. And we poor laymen as specialized in the business of being orderly as they in the oppo- site one, have gone about dully with long faces believing that we had lost forever the privilege of being spectac- ular, "Revolt in the Desert" is a remark- able book aside from the brilliance of the deeds it portrays. It is remarkable for its poetry, for its delicacy, for the penetration of its psychology. In many passages like this, Lawrence is poet as well as warrior, chronicler of deeds as well as their doer: "In the morning Auda had us afoot before four, going uphill, till at last we climb- ed a ridge to a plain, with an illimit- able view down hill to the east, where one gentle level after another slowly modulated into a distance only to be called distance because it was a sober blue, and more hazy. The rising sun flooded this falling plain with a perfect level of light, throwing up long sha- dows almost imperceptible ridges, and the whole life and play of a complicat- ed ground-system--but a transient one; for, as we looked at it, the sha- dows drew in towards the dawn, quiv- ered a last moment behind their mother-banks, and went out as though at a common signal." That man is a writer as well as a doer. "THE BEADLE"--Pauline Smith. "The Beadle" is a strange, sad book. For plot it has the old one of the se- duction, a young innocent girl and a worldly selfish man. Certainly such a plot tells nothing of a book, anything from the most tawdry sentimentalism to the deepest realism could be built upon it. But Pauline Smith, author of "The Little Karoo," has chosen to write a strong, restrained, silent book, upon that plot. Silent in the sense that it is charged with things unsaid, filled with a tensity which is in the air and not in words spoken. In the country of the Little Karoo in the South African veldt lives a community of simple people, their lives oe "We can't keep out of little hells that other people are making." SPRING TIDES By R.

"The Silver Cord" --George Agnew Chamberlain The thrilling story of a young Amer- ican, who, by a freak of fate sud- denly finds himself possessed of a new personality, virtually reborn. r Of the fifteen hundred manuscripts submitted in the prize competition for the best "first novel," organized by Curtis Brown, Ltd., on behalf of Dodd, Mead & Co. Pictorial Review and First National Pictures, "Rebellion," by Mateel Howe Farnham, has been selected by Pictorial Review and Dodd Mead & Co. as the best.

Mrs. Farnham is the daughter of Ed Howe, the well known Kansas editor. --New York Times bordered by the hills across which little recognition from the world ever comes. Among them is an old man, the beadle of the little Harmonie church, who lives with the two daugh- ters of old Piet Steenkamp, Johanna and Jacoba, and their niece, Andrina. The beadle has never shown the slight- est kindliness or affection for Andrina yet he watches over her with a fierce jealousy. When there comes to the district a young Englishman traveling for his health, the old man's jealousy and distrust knows no bounds. But he is helpless. Inevitably Andrina falls in love with the Englishman who on his side is at- tracted by her beauty and simplicity. They become lovers, and then before long the Englishman, tiring of her, at a summons from a girl who had be- fore refused to marry him, goes away. This seems quite just to Andrina; if there is a woman out there in the world whom he loves and who loves him it is right that he should go to her. Nothing in the whole book is so touching as Andrina's words when she finds that he is going, "If Mijnheer will but let me I will now pack for him." All the forgiveness and sorrow of a breaking heart are behind those words. --Esraer GouLp.
