THE WHITE ROSE" and OTHER STORIES" anonymous; published by The Futile Morehouse & Taylor Co, New Haven.
 Some charningly written and we'll told stories are to be found in the above daintily bound volume.
 ''The White Rose" is a pathetic bit of heart history as told in the inimit- able dialect of a Southern nanny and describes the young southern girl so like a white rose, Little Missy" black Auntie calls her, "clear and white rose she had gin her dear white neck, and says to her Yer like de rose yer wear gin yer bosom sweet and fresh as de Lord made yer
 Auntie's story has sad ending, and the minor strain running throughout some of the succeeding chapters of the book will be consider ed by many as most artistic ending.

They were written a number of years ago, and were published in va rious Connecticut papers over a non de plume and are now collected in book form mainly for private circula- tion. A few copies have been placed on sale in Hartford and New Haven bookstores,

of the greatest of his many successes in writing high-grade books for the young, by starting the "Our Own Land Series" In this four representative American students began to employ their summer vacations in becoming familiar with the natural features, his- tory commercial greatness, and other elements of interest of the United States, upon the theory that knowl- edge of and a love for four own land" should underlie liberal education. The first, volume entitled -Four Boys in the Yellowstone, took them through New York and the region of the Great Lakes to the Yellowstone National Park, which they saw intelligently.
 The same boys who made the trip described in the popular first book spend the next long vacation in a southern tour, which begins in Virgin ia, thence through Tennessee to the Mississippi river, and on through Ar kansas to Indian Territory. They come to appreciate their own country by seeing 1t, and learn history by visiting historic places. Above all, they have a good tme, and so will every one who reals this book

Here comes in the helpful in- f1uence of Thea Croft, her friend, who is a great favorite and comrade of her brothers, and possesses a sunny disposition, and unselfish spirit which render her true helper in the home circle and valuable friend.

"A BALL OF YARN" it's unwlnding by Robert Rudd Whiting; published by Paul Elder and company New York and San Francisco.
 This Ball of Yarn is composed of four skeins of three yarns each; and each a hummer. These very amusing yarns are so strung together and so ingeniously interwoven with snappy dialogue that once the reader catches hold either of the thread of discourse or of the yarn itself, he is carried on, willy-nilly, to the ultimate end. Others have warned before: Ananias, 1 Sapphira, Munchausen Mark Twain and a host of others-some entertain ingly, others painstakingly, still others l exasperatingly. But when Whiting knits his brow, thoughtfully plucks at a stray raveling from up his sleeve and proceeds to reel off a skein or two one feels a certain awe-the kind of feeling that gets into your system when you stand in the presence of an Egyp- tian pyramid, Persian monolith, a California giant sequoia This is nc ] SOBililOil Aie1is 1lViC IS llO ClSdJ GIldIld- tan. Ths is he-it must be lle-the lin- cal descendant of the man who in- vented the Jonah story!
 The Yarn of the Breathbound VII 1 lage, the Yarn of the Brawny Eastman the Yarn of the Sinner Stung, are moi yarns to make you yawn but yarns tC make you yearn for more.
 When you are blue with care, rec with anger, green with envy, or purple with rage, you will be sure to find som yarn of a cheering and lively colo, here.
 The illustrations by Merle Johnson also done, though literally, in many colors, consist of several very cleve character sketches and frontispec, depicting the marvellous rescue of "th Judges aged mother" as told in tn "Yarn of the Inventive Vamp." Tn book is further decorated with pictor ial initials by the same artist. Boun

Tn "I4ymns Every Child Should Know" published by Doubleday Page & O., there are several interesting stories told of Martin Luther's hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
 This hymn has been the cause ot inl- prisonments as well as great revivals: It became the war-song of Germany, being sung by soldiers as they went into battle and into camp, and also was sung in the streets as Y street song. When Melanchthon and his friends were exiled after Luther's death they heard a rttie girl sing "Ein Feste Burg in the streets or Weimar. Melanchthon said, Sing on my child; thou little knowest how thy song cheers our hearts, In lS7U, when the Franco -Prussian war was on, this great German hymn again aroused the German nation, and 1t be- came as popular in the streets as our concert hall songs are here. The sing l ing of this hymn was made the ground for many imprisonments. one group of men arrested for singing 1t finally escaped and went to England, where they fell in with the great Wes- ley, and their influence upon him served to bring about the extraordinn- ary Methodist revival. Luther is said to have composed tfle music from a suggestion furnished by the song of 1 "Wayfaring' man. sf4

The Mcclure company have just isued a new romance by Anthony Hope, entitled, "TIelena's Path" For prettiness and bright wit the new story is said to equal the authors fa- nous Dolly Dialogues" The plot has to do with the right of way to a bathing beach across the estate of the Marchesa Helena di San Servdo, a young woman half English, half Ital- ian. The right of way is claimed by young Lord Lynborough, who has just come into his estates and is de- nied by the marchesa. The path thus becomes a bone of bitter contention The complicated and amusing situa- lions which arise are handled With consummate delicacy and skill, and the story terminates with prettily conceived romance.
