"The Girl and the Guardsman" Is a
breezy little tale by Alexander Black. Illus
trated from photographs taken by the au-
thor. The book is clever, very clever, in its
way, and SO are the illustrations. Mr..
Black knows how 10 take photographs.
The story impresses one as good play in
the making, though there is hardly enough
OF 1t for anything but a farce. 1t is dra-

Where was the first cotton raised in America,
and for what did it sell? ". W.
The early history OF cotton culture in
this country is obscure. perhaps because
the pioneer cultivators did not grasp its
possibilities. The first cultivation of rec
ord was in Talbot County Md. in 1921,
and was for the flowers not for lint or
seed. Prior to the Revolution small areas in
Virginia and nearby States We're devoted
to cotton. the lint and seed being sep
arated by hand. thread and cloth being of
home manufacture.

The flavor of fresh and wholesome
drinking water is said to be due to the
presence of gases dissolved from the at

SLOW process of evolution is described
under the leadership of twelve men who
have been prominent at different periods
Intermingled with these men are many
minor characters necessary to make a
complete story from temporary colonial
rule to permanent constitutional govern
ment. The personality of these nation
makers is preserved in the familiar
treatment given. Direction to more in
tensive reading is given in numerous
footnotes and many photographers. The
illustrations are faithful reproductions OF
manuscripts, drawings, and car, oons.
Few writer's have increased their reputa-
ton SO much recently as Joseph Conrad,
whose latest book Lord JIM" has just
been published in this country by Double
day. Page & Co. This powerful writer about
the sea is of Polish ancestry. and was born
and passed his boynood in Poland. His an
cestors for generations have been men both
of intellect and action. His grandfather
fought under Napoleon and his father play
ed a leading part in the Polish uprising CT
1868. suffering imprisonment for his opln-
ions. Left an orphan at the age of thir-
teen. young Conrad found his way to Paris,
drfted to Marselles, thence into mer-
chant house, and afterward to a sailors
life. AS merchant seaman he has gone
through all the grades up to that Of full
captain of English marines. He has served
in every corner of the Seven Seas. but
chiefly in the Pacific and on the B0rneo
coast, and for time commanded steamer
on the Congo. Married several years ago
to an English wife, Mr.. Conrad now leads
a quiet life in an out-of-way village of Es-
sex and does not figure in the literary
circles Of London.
