TALES OF THE CITY ROOM. BY Eli
zabeth G.. Jordon. New York: Charles
Scribner's Sons. 231 pages. Price, 81.
This is one Of the cleVerest productions
Of one Of the cleverest women writer's
on the press Of New York. 1t gives a
most interesting inside view Of the news
paper world in a series of short stories.
The first story, which is entitled Ruth
Herrick's Assignment" cOntradicts the
assertion that a newspaper woman has
no heart and depicts q struggle between
the reporters duty TO the paper and a
desire TO save an unfortunate from con-
viction Of the crime Of murder. "The
trates the peculiar chivalry of an office
boy. In THE Wife of the Candidate
and From the Hand of Dolorita" there
are some exquisite touches of nature.
There is not a story in the collection that
will not hold the attention from begin
ming TO end, yet not one that has any
suggestion Of sensationalism. PathOs and
humor, mingled with bright descriptive
work, are the characteristics Of the book
and il has a charm no less for the gene
raj reader than for members of the
fourth estate. In fact, it is not technical
or SLOPPY at all, and is really in
tended more for the unintiated than The
initiated.
