A second volume of Myra Kellys East
Side studies will be Hospitality received.
The collection is prefaced by ''foreword''
by the author in which she explains her
connection with the little actors of the
gay or tragic dramas, and tells in what
respects she and in what she is not the
model of Constance Bailey" The fore
word is also enriched by letter from
President Roosevelt, in which he discusses
In characteristic fashion the value of the

In Loco PARENTS" in which this contra
diction between preaching and practice
arises is the first of the collection, and Is
probably the most amusing. Taken to-
gether the stories run the gamut of emo
tions. They show also remarkable free
dom from mechanical repetition of the
theme which is the particular danger to
which the authors great popularity would
expose her.

ating the Importance of Mr. Roosevelts s
personality to enshrine it in art and
literature alongside of Homer's hero,

point of view there is no denying that
Mr.. Cushing has done his work well.
His drawings are severely chaste in
handling, and the personal appearance
of their principal character is treated
with forbearance extremely rare
among carIcaturists. Those who like
Mr.. Roosevelt will be pleased with Mr..
Cushing's book. Those who don't like
him will be amused by it. Considering g
that these two classes include every

many outside the United States, the
book ought to be sure of a considerable

MOTHER By Owen Wister, author of
The Virginian.' Illustrations and
decorations by JOnn Rae- New
York: Dodd, Mead & Co. Washing
ton: Ballantyne.
The far west. with which the reader is
apt to identify Owen Wister, seems very
far off in this charming story of New
York life. But .he hero is present just
the same and the eternal feminine in al
most as transparent a guise, and the
horse thief is there, too. although he is
not as easily recognizable as when cow
boy faces cowboy, with a Colts revolver
in between. The story is an amusing one
and carmingly told. 1t is full of delicate
realism and of as delicate humor.

THE SOUTH AMERICANS. BY Albert
Hale, ABB, MD. indianapolis: The
Bobbs-Merrill Company.
The declaration of the author. "The book
has been written with a North American
pen but I have looked through South
American eyes while writing IT. is borne
out by the text. DR.. Hale has shown ad-
miraL.e fairness in gaug1ng the qualities
of his adopted fellow-citizens. Argentina,
Uruguay, Brazil and Venezuela are dis
cussed. Natural features, population, civ
nization. national characteristics are
touched upon. The book has the value to
the tourist of an exhaustive guide book
and to the student O., a keen analysis. DR..
Hale feels that South America is destined
to play an important part in the history
Of the next hundred years since the tide
of immigration is bound to turn in that
direction. He feels, moreover. that the
South Americans are awakening to the
necessity of adapting themselves to the in

modern life.

ward \ lothrop.
The theme OF Mrs Whartons new
nuNrt is. IN Il certain sense. more simple
than many of her former works. 1t deals
with problem of moral responsibility,
a departure from conventional standards
and its consequences. The tone is serious;
the characterization is keen and exact;
but there Is not +he impression of over
subtlety which is. to some readers baf-
fling and to some a delight.
John Amherst, the central character, is
