whose hooks have sold widely about whose nersonality there is so much curl ositv on the part of the reading public as in the case of Roy Rolfe Gilson, whose new book. Katrina" will be published by the Baker x Taylor Co. on Octoper l. This comes partly from the fact that MT. Gilson has steadily resisted the demand of his publishers and editors for photo- graphs, and partly because of the nature of his work and out of it has grown the feeling on the part of many people that his name is a nom de plume. Only re- gently letter came begging that MT. Gill son would inform the writer whether he was "a young man or more or less old.
 However wide the divergence of opinion as to the rank of the late Coventry Pat more as a poet, there undoubtedly exists a considerable number of admirers or his work who will welcome the one-volume edition of his poems just issued by the Macmillan company MT. Basil Champ nevs who provides an introduction to this volume. notes that at the time of his death "there were indications that his nublic was still closely limited in num- her. and that his fame rested rather on the enthusiasm of a minority than on the appreciation of the general reader Prob ably this is still in a measure true, Tor 1t ie unlikely tl1dl fdlliOiC VIII cfcA DC o noet for the multitude. Nevertheless his fame and his public have increased in the ten years since his death. and the perma- nence of his position in English literature now seems abundantly assured.
 Four more volumes of the pocket edi- +ion of the works of George Meredith have just been published by the Scribners, making twelve in all that have appeared in the set The new volumes are Evan Harrington" "The Tragic Comedians,
 ..The Shaving of Shagpat" and "The Ad- ventures of Harry Richmond" It is in- teresting to note that "The Shaving of Shagpat' was first published in 1855. the year after Thackeray brought out The Newcomer and the year in which Dick ems published Little Dorritt.' It was the first novel by MT. Meredith, but he had already published a volume of poems in 1851. Of the new books Evan Harring- ton" was published in 1861, The Tragic

 In estimating the popularity that any new candidate for favor in fiction is like ly to achieve. originality of plot is one of the first considerations. Does the new story follow well-worn lines, or has It's author struck out a fresh path for him self? The answer to this question, if asked of "Blindfolded, Earle Ashley Walcotts new story, is, that the path Is entirely and astonishly new. Many a wri- ter has set his hero to the task of un- tangling an intricate network of mystery, but always hitherto the hero has had his task clearly before him-has had his eyes open, so to speak But Giles Dudley, in "Blindfolded,' cannot see his way. He has stepped, by chance of fate, into an- other mans shoes, has accepted mission whose nature he does not know, but which he feels it his duty to work out. How this blndfolded man makes his way along a path beset with traps and perils and assailing doubts, makes story of excis- ing and powerful interest.
 That the general public is becoming more and more interested in the impor- tance of the scientific investigations of the supernatural is shown by the success of Prof. James H. Hyslop's books. To 'Enigmas of Psychical Research" and Science and a Future Llfe,' Professor Hyslop is adding this fall a third volume. entitled Border Land of Psychical Re- search.I This volume discusses certain well-established laws of both normal and abnormal psychology that are of the ut most importance to the reader who wishes to read intelligently of the remarkable investigations being carried on of super normal phenomena. The book has chap ters devoted to Double and Triple Per sonality, the Secondary Self. Hypnotism. Authorization, Pseudo -Spiritualistic Phe- nomena. The three books by this, the vice-president of the famous Society for Psychical Research, cover the whole field of the society's investigations.

 About forty years ago Lord Redesdale, then A. B. Freeman-Mitford. was q sec- retary of the British legation in Japan. Ever since that time he has been an en- thusiastic student of Japanese affairs. and it was happy thought that brought about his participation as a sort of of ficial historian in the recent mission of King Edward to invest the mikado with the Order of the Garter. It has been sug- gested that Lord Redesdales book. '"rhc Garter Mission to Japan" which the Mac milan company has just issued. should bear as its subhead "The New Japan." owing to the remarkable picture 1t con- tains of the progress which has been made by the Japanese in the last forty years.
