ROMANCE IN CHINA "IN A YUN-NAN COURTYARD" By Louise Jordan Miln. Frederick A. Stokes Co. Louise Jordan Miln has written another of her light and charming tales of China. It would seem to be her mission in life to take Americans of the idle rich traveling in China, have them thoroughly frightened by bandits and revolutions, bring about a slight of hand performance or two in the way of rescue and bringing long separated friends and relatives together on the same spot, and leave them only when the wedding bells are ringing their most triumphant tune. And as a colorful background for this there is a romance of China. It is this background perhaps which is .the most attractive thing in Mrs. Miln's books, the thing which brings us back to them year after year. "The poppies were ripe for their harvesting, mauve and white poppies and a few that were scarlet. The early clovers, The Joyous Friar By A. J. Anderson "The history of art has many fascinating romances but none quite so intriguing as the love affair of the friar Filippo Lippi and the nun Lucretia," says the New York Times. This romance is recreated here in a story which has atmosphere, interest, charm. Frederick A. Stokes Co.

He was a holy terror -- yet he never took a life! this in- test white, pink, crimson, speckled and streaked, purple and yellow and mauve Bean vines were heavy with fragrant pink flowers." Color, unreality, peace, live in those Chinese gardens Mrs. Miln pictures. The story of "In a Yun-Nan Court yard" has to do with a little Chinese boy, So Wing, who loves a Chinesc girl so much that he resolves to be- come great for her sake. He rises to fame in China as a general of a rev- olutionary army and is able to do sev- eral Robin Hood acts for Americans inadvertently captured. But mean- while the lady of his choice has looked elsewhere. He loses his life in a dramatic gesture leaving these others whom he has befriended to live hap pily ever afterward. CONRAD, GENTLEMAN "JOSEPH CONRAD, LIFE AND LETTERS" By G, Jean-Aubry Doubleday Page & Co. Those who loved Conrad, who looked upon him reverently as one of the great spirits of our time, have waited anxiously for this book. It is "Joseph Conrad, Life and Letters," by G. Jean- Aubry. I think those that have waited for it thus will not be disappointed. The author has done a big Job con- scientiously and well. a It was not his idea to write the story of Joseph Conrad in the popular semi-fictional biographical form, In his own words "It would have been easy for me to have lived in some intimacy both with Conrad and his books, to introduce my own sentiments and opin- ions in the course of it, but I have carefully, even regretfully, abstained." He has instead set down the facts exact and complete as he could make them, and with them given our imagi- nations free play. He has not done even as much of the imaginative con- structive work as could be done in perfect consistency with truth. It is a fascinating thing, this wan- dering in among the circumstances of Conrad's life, circumstances which have for the most part been shrouded in mystery. To learn of his strange shadowed childhood with his patrigt parents in exile in Poland, of his un- eventful boyhood and his startling desire to make his career on the sea. Mr. Jean-Aubry has in the chapters devoted to his travels on the sea kept a very skillful parallel between the sources from which Conrad drew the material for his novels and the way he later used that material. This de- tailed information is an added reason for wanting to keep the book beside one as a work of reference. Illinois' largest town is Cicero, hav- ing a population of 67,000.
