Sir Walter Besant's "A Fountain Sealed
Two Australian Novelists' Work
on plain Living" and
Young Blood"

Go NJ some historical value in depicting
the youthful associations OF KIN oeorse
III. of England.
Two Australian novelists who always
give us a good story are Rolf Bolderwood
and f. w Hornung. plain Living by
the former and young Blood by the
latter will maintain the reputation OF the
authors.
."Tbe Broom of the war-God." by Henry
Noel Brailsford, is a story of the recent
Graeco-Turkish war. The action Is sp'ii'-
ed and there is plenty OF incident. But a
very unfiattering picture OF the mooerh
Greeks is presented.
Bullock, has written The Charmer; a
Seaside Comedy"
For a stirring romance no historical ep-
isolde furnishes more inviting materiai
than the war of the Spanish succession.
John ~Bloundelle-B Burton has availed him
self of this opportunity and given us
ACROSS the Salt Seas" which IL Wen
written and will prove to be a popular
story. The same writer has also written

not written by the talented Cornishmah'
but by his less gifted sister.

Paul Laurence Dunbar. the famous col
ored poet. has tried his hand at prose and
| published Folks from Dixie a DOCK OF
short stories written with spirit ana inter-
est.
.'yiyian Of Virginia" by Hubert Fuller
is another historical novel of the seven
teenth century in the Old Dominion. III
has the interest that belongs to its SUD
iect. and while fairly well written IL
does not gain in comparison with the mn
ishcd studies Of Mrs. Goodwin.
No more finished literary artist can De
found among the writer's of recent years
than Hamlin Garland. His books have
heretofore been mainly devoted to studies
of the Central states, but in 'Ihe Spitlt
of Sweetwater' he gives us an interesting
tale. the plot Of which Is located In 'oio-
RADIO.
.Bladvs Stewponey," by s. Barring
Could. Is a well-told story depicting life OF
three centuries ago in the southern part
of England.
Some how or other the critics never en-
thuse over Archibald Clavering sumter,
hut he does know how to work up a plot
and his books wear out pretty fast in our
library. We do not think that the demand
for "BIly Hamilton will be less than for
the rest of his books.
'Outlaws of the Marches by Lord Ell
nest Hamilton, is a story OF wares a
couple of centuries ago. 1t is marred by
the introduction of some dialect put on
the whole is a well-told story.
In the records of the use OF our library
which were compiled last November II
appeared that Bret Harte was at that
~. ~. II,s r,orLs arc usually confined to
cSnutoraia themes hut In s'Tales OF Trai
and Town he has included both Caiifor'
MIA plots and those of his present sur
roundings in England. .
