"An English Girl in Paris"-BIIss caF- mans Coronation Ods-"Not on the Chart''-"A Twentieth Century CIn- dereiIa," Etc.
 'An English Girl in Paris" published by John Lane, New York, price $1.50, is a very entertaining book for the leisure hour, bright, piquant and at times de- nghtfuily humorous. It relates the im- pFessions of a clever young Englishwo- man concerning life and society as she saw it at the gay French capital while visiting her uncle, Jack Mortimer, wid- ower, who, an Englishman and true to his BritOn blood. preferred to dwell in Paris because his wife, now ten years dead, was a Parisian, and through her he had learned to like to live in Paris, finding life very comfortable there. Of the book the New York Tribune says:
 ''An English Girl in Paris relates a number of diverting experiences in the French capital. The book can scarcely be said to possess a plot, but that Is a matter of little consequence. The aim of the anonymous author would appear to be simply the sketching in a viva cious, impressionistic fashion of cer- tain types and characteristics of French life. She has her personages and she deals with them and with their doings in a more or less consecutive manner, but the result remains a book into which the reader may dip at any point and be just as well amused as if he were to begin at the beginning and go systematically through all the chapters In either case he is sure to be enter tained. It is not anything like so clever book as the one in emulation of which it may possibly have been written, "The Visits of Elizabeth" (Written by a New Haven resident in London) but it will do very well, being on the whole sprightly performance.
 The beautiful Coronation Ode" by Bliss Carman, is published in a very limited edition de luxe, price $1.0O, and also in paper covers, by L. c. Page & Co.,, Boston. It worthily commemorates the important event of so much interest the world over, to which once more the people of England are looking forward Of MT. Carman and his Ode to the Coronation of King Edward" the Mail and Express remarks:
 ''Mr Bliss Carman, Canadian by birth, is well known in this country, where he has taken up his residence, partly as journalist, but more widely as poet. He is, indeed, so good a poet that we question if his superior is now existing among us, the freedom and freshness of outdoor life breathes through and encircle all that he writes. To call him a balladist would perhaps not be quite correct in view of what is generally called balladry, but if he be not that, his readers must find, if they can, more suitable name for him. If we are ever dissatisfied with his poetry, it is not with it's quality, but with it's great length He does not know how to condense, but is carried along by his own f1uency and vigor and picturesque ness. ....
 A few stanzas, say the first three, of this breezy ode, give a better insight into MT. Car1nan's manner than any thing we can write about him." ODE ON THE CORONATION OF
 KING EDWARD.
 l.
 There are joy-bells over England, there
 are flags on London town; There is bunting on the chancel, where
 the fleets go up and down;
 There are bonfires alight
 Tn the pageant of the night;
 There are bands that blare for splendor,
 and guns that speak for might; For another king in England is coming
 to the crown.
 As it was in Saxon Britain, and through
 the Norman's sway,
 And with the mighty Tudors, so it must
 be to-day.
 For the English kings must hold From Alfred, great of old,
 From Sea-king and Crusader and Eliza
 beth the Bold,
 And every free-born Commoner whose
 strength is England's stay. They will take him up to Westminster,
 and set him in his place;
 And Church and Lords and Commons
 will stand before his face,
 And hear him make reply,
 In the name of God most high, To be their Faiths Defender, as it was
 in days gone by,
 With the thousand years behind him
 and the glory of his race.
 'Not on the Chart" by Charles l.. Marsh. Published by Frederick A. Stokes Co.,, New York; $50. For sale by Judd. This is very clever romance of the Pacific, and reminds somewhat of the Swiss Family, and Robinson Cru soc. Among other novel features of this readable story there is an interesting composition of the group of castaways on a desert island of our time. The castaways are three in number-a wealthy young New York man with a penchant for natural science, cultured young mining engineer bound from San Francisco for Sydney, and an exceed ingly pretty and very sensible Austra- Han girl bound home from 'the States" The wreck takes place in the South Pa- cific. Everybody perishes but the three named, and for three years the two men and the girl wait for rescue. Most of the time they tell themselves the wait is hopeless, yet they get an amaz- ing amount of good cheer out of the sit
