STORIES OF MODERN LIFE.
A wear ago there was little other than
dashiug historical novels for those who
wished a quiet half-hour Of fiction.
This year the publishers have been kind
enough to favor novels of a distinctly mod
ern tinee.
Though there are romances n plenty in
which personages of note figure. there has
been a marked transition from the former
vogue.
There are stories in which historical char
acters are mentioned. but IN some OF them,
such as Booth Tarkington's The Two Van
revels." the story IS the main thing. and
not the bits Of history which might be
learned.

WRITTEN FOR THE sUNDA REPUBLIC.
II the publishers are TO be believed. moro
books have been printed and sold during
the last twelve months than during any
corresponding period of the worlds history.
The evidences are on every hand-ln the
advertisement of the newspapers and mag
azines. in the increasing patronage OF the
public and private libraries and in the
prosperity OF the book stores.
Americans are reading-and with cause.
Perhaps there have been few masterpieces
produced during the last year.
They are seldom recognized until after
the lapse OF time. despite the reassuring
statements OF the publishers.
Yet the quality, on the WHOLE, has been
above the average of previous years.
Perhaps this average has not been main
tanned by the OLDER writer's.
The year has been chiefly notable for the
surprising successes OF young authors.
