'LETITGA, NURSERY CORPS '. s. A." by George Madden Martin, author of Emmy Lon; the Mcclure Company. New York; s1 50 at Judds.
 The vivacity and delightful humor which pervaded Mrs. Martins Emmy Lou" is not lacking in this, her new story, and in 'Letitia,'' she has both drawn another very clever picture of child life and admirably sketched some phases of army post life. Letitia is the pet of the soldiers, a charming little girl The author takes her from near her babyhood days on through the scenes and experiences of youth. All along Letitia is the same H,-et. loving unspoiled darling of the post wherever that happens to be. Letitia first finds herself at an army post by. the sea and when she has attained the mature age of eight years she had moved six times" Mrs. Martins pirt- ure of Letitia is absolutely char ming She knows how to enter into the heart and spirit of childhood and there $ nothing strained or overwrought or fictitious in the picture presented. You feel that Letitia is 8 real genuine, lit tie darling and no fanciful or unreal creation It may he added here that there is 2 wedding at the end of he story. Mrs, Martin also gives q cor rect picture of life at the army Lost. She writes from personal knowledge and accurate observation having been a visitor and guest of fire army posts. And her book deals with needed re- forms in army life without moralizing or preaching. The sketches are vivid Perhaps the most artistic wok is the picture of Betitia's mother, a pretty, shallow minded eoquette and flir.. with society ambitions, and faculty for pickering with her husband. an of ficer of the regulars. Very clever is the delineation of the anti-canteen aunt who visits the camp to see for heTsti.

The American Magazine has made a great find in David Grayson, author of Adventures in Contentment.' pub lished by Doubleday. Page & Co This month he begins a new series. "The Open Road" In the course of his es- say, the author has this to say of old age:
 Things grow old and stale, not be- cause we cease to see them. Whole vibrant worlds around us disappear within the sombre mists of familiarity. Whichever way we look the roads are dull and barren. There is a tree at our gate we have not seen in years; flower blooms incur dooryard more wonder ful than the shining heights of the Alps.
 Tt has seemed to me sometimes as though l could see men hardening be- fore my eyes, drawing in feeler here. walling up an opening there. Naming things! Objects fall into cate- gories for them and wear little sure channels in the brain. A mountain is mountain, tree a tree. to them, a field forever field. Life solidifies it. self in words! And finally how every thing wearies them; and that is old agei"

YESTERDAY TO-DAY.
Land Where the Ploughman's mple- ment Was Made 5000 Years Ago.

From the window of my compart- ment in a miniature train I watch glide past me a landscape, old-old as the world itself, and full of the memories and tradition which had their birth in remotest ages of an- tiquity. The ploughman in Egypt blows to-day with a wooden implement pat termed more than 5000 years ago. and camel and an ass, or an OK and an ass, or an OK and & camel harnessed together to its bar, pursue an appar- ently amicable pathway through the furrows.
 Little ditches for irrigating zig-zag over the face of the land, and patient cumbersome buffalo pull at the prini- tive water-drawer, just as they did in the days of the Great Dynasty!
 At 5:30 next morning after an Eng fish breakfast" of a small cup of tea, roll and a dab of marmalade. start on a quest of knowledge and an empty stomach for the Gizeh Pyramids. which are grouped along the western bank of the Nile on the edge of the Libyan Desert The air is that of a wonderful spring morning at home. and the hours journey will always be remembered with joy. Drive across the splendid Kasr-el-Nil bridge and travel the road of beautiful acacia trees which follow the Nile five miles as the crow flies, and at last rest in the shadow of the Pyramids, and echo Ma poleon's thought, which voiced the sentiment of world-"the centuries are looking down upon you"
 Stretching away to the south and i east lies the white heat of the desert, broken only here and there by the plumy trees marking some tiny emer- aid oasis, where the children of the faithful rest beside the waters of con- tentment. Perchance moving caravan comes, like a dream, and goes. In the near distance loom the tombs of Mem- phis and looking ever eastward to the rising sun. the Sphynx watches the march of centuries More than 5000 years Have passed before it's gaze. The rise and fall of heather temples; the dawn of the truth faith, and the Holy Mother with the Christ child. fled into Egypt and sheltered within it's sight.

 Far away Muezzin's call rises on the still air and travels down toward sunsets golden bars.

Messrs. l.. c. Page & Co. are hearing good news of the sales of MT. Nathan GalliZier's second English novel, The Sorceress of Rome" and it is so much better than his first "Castel del Monte" both in style and in plot, and its very existence is the result of such toll that one cannot help wishing him success. Ten years ago, at Is. he landed in this country with hardly word of Eng fish at his command. To-day he has written book in which the only seri- ous defect is a misleading fault in the punctuation of the relative clauses. He works regularly and steadily at his books, although his days are passed in the service of mercantile house. He is writing a third novel, and has planned five others. three of which are partly written. He has collected li- brary of no small value, and-he works. That is the German way.

A new novel by Miss Ellen Glasgow is announced by her publishers. Dou- bleday, Page & Co, for this month. It is entitled The Ancient Law" It is a story of Virginia, depicting the strug- gle of a strong man who triumphs in the end. There is a strong love mo- tive running through it. Mrs. GIas- gov is said to be at her best in de- picting the character of Daniel Ord way, the principal figure in the story. who dominates a relentless combina- ton of circumstances by sheer force of character. The theme is one which is well suited to Miss Glasgows ideals in fiction writing. fitting in admirably with the moral earnestness and sin ceritv which characterizes her work. "Tbe Ancient Law" should prove one of the best books of the year.

Concerning Little. Brown & Co.'S is sue in a handsome volume of q trans lation of Gabrielle d'Annunzio's great est tragedy, La Figlia d'Jorio." by Miss Charlotte Porter, Signor Pietro Isola. and Miss Alice Henry. Professor de Sumichrast of Harvard. says in s private letter
 In this work I find again the breath of the great antique tragedies. Their divine terror has again taken possession of me. D'Annunzio has known how to move the human soul as Aeschvlus knew how to move it. A divine poesy crowns the superb work with exquisite harmonv.
 This translation gives us the master piece. the sorrow-laden drama. the profound emotion. the suffocating an guish. the breathless eXpeCtancy Ii reproduces in a form which while be- ing English is none inc less close fn the original the feeling of the rhythm. the harmony of speech at once smooth and virile. melodious and strong which enchants the reader or the nearer of La Figlia. To have succeed ed mp to this degree. is to have over | passed the bounds of ordinary transla-
