Wherein Appears Newest of "Poets of Dorrance" Ethel Winger Doyle is the latest of the "Contemporary Poets of Dor- rance," to bring out a collection of poems published by Dorrance and Company, Inc. of Philadelphia. Her book, appropriately called "Pot-au- Feu," has recently appeared. It is divided into several parts, "Measures of Love," which contains short lyrics of rather mild wistfulness; "The Eternal Isosceles," with ques- tioning and disillusioned notes; much talk of friends and friendship in "Be- tween Friends"; "Echoes from the War"; "When Nature Calls," with a few bits of mountain description; and "From the Tropics." The last section holds odds and ends of longer verse, which have more promise and are not so tiresomely sweet. Miss Doyle shows by her subjects that she is well traveled and well versed in life's ex- periences. Yet they leave her acquies- cent and calm. Her poetry would have a wide appeal to those who care for short lyrics in home-spun jackets. We quote one: From a Secret Garden "These cherry blossoms were so white Wht, we plucked them, that April mght; Their billowed blurs against the dusk Filled all the air with magic musk. These cherry blossoms are so brown-- I lay their withered, dry stems down, For their faint fragrance and my tears Have borne me back to those far years." --Jane Arnt. IN NEW HOME H. G. Seeley, financial editor of the Chicago Evening Post, and family are now established in their new home at 700 Virginia avenue, Kenilworth. Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity is giv- ing an informal dance at the Shawnee Country club this evening. i Iv Fo > Clothes buyers in this day and age demand style, beauty, all-wool fab- rics and quality tailoring--at a low price.

Whitmack In an article "Main Street Wants to Know," Frank Parker Stockbridge names the following books as the most read. He has compiled for the past eight years the Bookman's Monthly score and has based his article on these. Next to fiction, biography has un- doubtedly been the most popular. He mentions the "Education of Henry Adams"; "The Americanization of Ed- ward Bok"; Page's "Life and Letters"; Papini's "Life of Christ"; "Queen Vic- toria"; "Mirrors of Downing Street"; "Damaged Souls"; "Ariel"; "John Keats," by Amy Lowell; Hughes' and Woodward's Lives of Washington; White's "Woodrow Wilson"; "The Prairie Years," by Sandburg; "Napo- leon," by Ludwig; "Intimate Papers," by House; and Barton's "Man That Nobody Knows." In fiction the most popular were: "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"; "Age: of Innocence'; "Ii Winter Comes"; "Green Hat"; "Babbitt"; "So Big"; "Little French Girl"; "Ar- rowsmith"; "Helen of Troy"; "The Constant Nymph"; "American Trage- dy"; "Elmer Gantry"; and "Main Street." In history Wells' "An Outline of History" was the most popular for years, now "Our Times," by Sullivan, is leading. Other books were "Now It Can Be Told," and "The Mauve Dec- ade." Among travel books "The Royal Road to Romance" has been phenome- nal but "Trader Horn" and the "Revolt in the Desert" bid fair to rival it. "The Travel Diary of a Philosopher" had an enormous vogue, as also "White Shadows in South Seas." Other books that have proven in demand are: "Economic Consequences of the Peace," "Outwitting our Nerves"; Post's "Etiquette"; "New Decalogue of Science"; "This Believ- ing World"; "Story of Philosophy," and "Why We Behave Like Human Beings."
