REALW OF BOOKS

BY PAUL PRY.

"Nv Friend the Chauffeur" by C. N' and A. M. Williamson Published by Mc- Cmre, Phillips & Go.
 "Mv Friend the Chaffeur" Is by the same authors as that previous work, "fhe Lightning Conductor" which has enjoyed such general and well deserved popularity It has been said that the previous story was written primarily to advertise and extol the virtues of the Panhard car, put It's more immediate influence was felt in the beautiful section of the Loire country in France so ideally described in the book. This covers especially what is known as the Chateaux country and in- cludes the most important and well known of the old Royal Chateaux of France. Al though so beautiful and of such intense interest historically, it was part little visited by tourists previous to the ad- vent of "The Lightning Conductor" and the immense number of visitors for the past two years which have taken Lours as a starting point for numerous delight ful motor-car trips, had caused it to come about that the ideal Brown is as truly responsible for the increasing popularity eifN Wentworth district or Washington Irving for Stratford.
 My Friend the Chaffeur' is the same style of story-a car of interesting people making delightful trips through some oi the most picturesque portions of Europe In some respects it is not as good as the former story; in others It. Is superior The canvass is broader and the interest more diversified It is extremely clever in the originality of it's conception and thu drollery of its situations There are more characters to claim the readers interes and sympathy than in the former story but none that can compare in the per lection of charm and magic fascination O. Brown"
 It seems that the most popular fiction o the day contains the same formula-Amer Anan characters and scenes in foreigl

lands; and in a number of them, and very
 notably in the present work under re-
 view. 1t must be said that American read
 CTS are beyond question the best-natured
 people in the world. One may be entirely
 aware of ones little faults and peccadl-
 loes and yet not relish entirely having att
 tention drawn to them In the character Of
 ',rhe Countess" otherwise known as
 Mrs. Kidder of Denver, we have held
 up for display, and it might not be too
 much to say ridicule, the little fancies
 and faults with which it is quite popular abroad to attribute exclusively to Amerl- can feminine nature. And our good ma
 ture is evidenced by the fact that we read it and smile over it all without the faintest trace of resentment.
 The book is cheaply produced but con-
 tains several fair illustrations by Frederic Lowenheim.
 His Version of It." by Paul Leicester Ford. Published by Dodd Mead and Co. Here is a story which Is a good example of the publishers choicest work. It is dainty and exquisite in production, with decorations by Theodore B. Hapgood and illustrations by Henry Hut, which lend the needed touch of reality to the text. Paul Leicester Ford will be recalled as the popular author of Janice Meredith, "Wanted Matchmaker" and other fa- vorite stories. The present story, His Version of It." is reprint from the | Century which appeared some years ago. | It is unique and fanciful in that the story, | while 1t concerns the love affairs of sev- , eral very interesting people Is told by several almost equally interesting ami mals. In this instance MT. Ford was clever | enough to overhear and understand what l .Old Reveille." with ''twenty-eight years | of experience" related to "Lassie," and ! the Bay Mare at his side; and the | manner in which for once at least three | animals controlled the affairs and des- l tinies of three very charming human be- l ings.
