GA Caddie of St. Andrews,' By Gilbert Watson-"The Chronicles of Martin Hewitt" By Arthur MOrrisOn--FOrth- coming Books, Etc.
 "A Caddie of St. Andrews" by Gi1- bert Watson, author of Three Rolling Stones in Japan" is certainly a story of strong, human interest. Mr Wat son draws his introductory chapter, concerning his caddies from life, no doubt and most vividly he characteri- zes them As has been well said: This sidelights on golf in its ancient strong hold are delightful and as says an- other authority, the London Daily Chronicle, "The hero, Skipper is a caddie on the St. Andrews golf links, an old caddie (once a fisherman) with a humorous turn of speech and a pas sion for travel and adventure. He Is a wonderfully vivid figure, humorous, enthusiastic, warm-hearted, whiskylov- ing, genial in his very faults, and with al a simple-minded, lovable, heroic figure. Whatever else the book is, it is the epic of the golf caddie. Ev- cry golfer must read it." But the hero Skipper falls a victim to his dreams of adventure and romance and of the Orient and is victimized by wild eyed treacherous Arab who had es- capped the sea to be landed on the rocks near the good Shippers house. Thereafter the Skipper and the deceit- ful Arab dream of hidden treasure and they find it after much digging at night on the grounds of ruined cathedral The end IS sadness. One very fine char acter in the story standing out with cameo distinctness is the shippers daughter Devina, and particularly strong is the scene between Devina and her lover Archie Published by Henry Holt & Co.,, New York. s150 at Judas.

 A new edition (known as the Rotch Revislon) of swedenborg's great work. entitled Heaven and He'll" has just been issued. 1t is remarkable how rap- idly the advanced beliefs of the pres ent time were anticipated by Sweden borg, or are approached by the relig- lous system taught by swedenborg. This little work will be a revelation to those, fortunate enough to possess 1t, who have only vague or hay impress sions as to Swedenborg and his work.
