"The Care and Training of
Children"

BY lie Grand Kerr. NJ. D. Published by Funk
& Wagnails company, New York. Price rs
cents
lie Grand Kerr, NJ. D., we'll known
physician of Brooklyn, n. Y, has
written a book entitled The Care and
Training of Children" which should be
in the possession of every parent who
can read and understand English.
Doctor Kerr. in this small but helpful
volume, has condensed the best of many
years experience not only as physf
clan. but through the observation of
these parents who under the appreci-
ative eye, have made this subject a
study in the case of their own chill
dren. In other words the doctor has
not sought to elaborate a system of
training and imprint thereon his own
theories, but has rather reflected in a
series of delightful monographs the
matured experience of the many.
There is scarcely a feature of child
training, hygienic, physical, mental,
moral, that is not considered, and
when one has read the various chap
ters there seems to be nothing more
that could be said to cover every phase
of the problem One feature that is
ever foremost in his mind is the in
nate difference OF children, even of
those born of the same parents, and
the need therefore, of tact, sympathy
and resourcefulness in dealing with
each child.

"At the Villa Rose"

BY A. e. W. Mason author of THE Broken
Road" etc. Published by Charles Scribner's s
Sons, New York. Price $1.50
Any Just notice of this book is sure
to be filled with praise and blame, and
that in about equal quantities. 1t is
difficult to believe that A. z. w. Mason
is the author, for we know how artistic
his work is by such charming stories as
Running Water THE Four Feathers"
and .sThe Broken Road That does not
mean that this book is poorly written.
Far from it: it is well written, but by
another hand.
Here we have a detective story with
every one of the stage properties neecs-
sary in every tale of mystery. 1t is well
done, too. and no reader is likely to
guess the solution Of the mystery until
it is explained at the last. The reader
receives good measure, too, for there is
murder and robbery and abduction all
at once Here we meet the clever de-
tectfve and his stupid satellite, and all
the other characters we know so well.
i the book were published anonymous
ly we should declare it well done and
recommend it to lovers of mystery
stories. But with this authors name on
the title page it makes US strongly sus
pect that he has intended the book for
a clever satire on the detective stories
OF the day It's too clever, that's all.
The book is, of course, well printed and
bound and contains some good illustra-
tions, not too Illuminating for dhe text
in case the curious reader look ahead.

boy and slowly struggled through all
the offices of the paper. He has had
an opportunity to gain control of the
paper. with an option to buy, and can
look forward to being in few years
time comfortable and independent and
able to give his mother an easier life.
This man (for all he is a newspaper
manD believes that honesty is the best
policy and does his best to live up to
this rule. He has a tremendous strug-
gle, for he is living in a big corrupt
city and has little encouragement when
he attempts to reform some dreadful
abuses. His most serious difficulty is
with political boss on the one hand
and a group of traction magnates upon
the other. Both are trying to pull
through a franchise for the street rail
ways, which is a steal from the people,
but they go about their work in diff
ferent ways and are not working to-
gether. The newspaper opposes this
franchise bill, causing the ring of mag
mates to cherish an i'll feeling toward
the editor the heroine's father being
one of them.
Another complication is unfoldsd
when it is found that the reelection
of the congressman, who practically
owns the News Con which Price has his
option) depends upon the "easy boss"
who will make pile" if the franchise
goes through.
The story, in the form of stirring
political novel, shows up again to its
readers the big, big problem facing
this country today. The author is a
lawyer of Rochester, N Y, who has
taken an active interest in politics,
and therefore knows whereof he writes
The love story is disappointing at first,
but improves as the book goes on. The
heroine is an irritating creature, much
too frivolous and selfish for the un-
usual hero, but her human qualities are
gradually brought to light and at last
we find her quite worthy of her place
in life. The book is decidedly worth
reading and will interest all classes of
readers.

Brief Reviews Of New Books

Thomas G. Thrum collected and

characteristic Menehune adventures or

Notes and Gossip

Anna Bowman Dodd has now lived so
many years in France that she no
longer regards herself as an American
and does not expect to return to this
country permanently. Best known as
the author of THE Normandy Inns,
which is this autumn being reissued in
a new holiday edition with "a addi-
tiona1 pictures of Norman scenes, re-
produced from artistic photographs

pen is seldom idle. Besides new
work of light fiction similar to her
successful "An American Husband in
Paris" this talented author has re-
vised another of her delightful books
of travel and description, "Falaise, the
Town OF the Conqueror" Mrs. Dodd
divides her time between her summer
home in Normandy and her winter
home in Paris. The latter is the scene
of many gatherings of literary folk.

much keen comment on serious matter.
The hero has promised to give his
friends means to help along the cause
while the hero'S uncle, far from sym
pathfzing with any such plan, has been
waiting for years for the hoy to grow
up and put his hand to the great steel
business that he will one day Inherit
Uncle and nephew are much alike. The
old man is full of dry humor, and the
young one has at his command as many
happy SMILES as any person one ever
met In real life or in fiction. Both men
are high tempered, but they are gentle
men, warm hearted and honorable Of
course, there must be a love affair. and
that furnishes the opportunity to intro
duce two charming women and the
chance to expound feminine nature
This Mr.. Wason does astonishingly
well. His women have force of char
aeter with the charms and weaknesses
belonging to the sex.
The first half OF the story has to do
chiefly with the love story; the last
half with a business fight, though the
love affair depends for it's success
largely on the outcome of the business
venture. The first part is more anus
ing, the last more exciting In fact.
it is so exciting that the reader comes
to the last chapter quite breathless and
bewildered. Everything comes out as
one wishes it to, however, and as is
proper in a comedy, everybody is radi-
antly happy. There is no tagging in
this tale at any point. There Is action
on nearly every page. The few dis
cussions that take place are so per-
tinent and eager that they have almost
the effect of actions.
THE Steering Wheel" is a success
It will hold the attention of any reader
who likes rapid action, amusing situa-,
tions, clever sayings and nice people
1t will give great pleasure to a num-
ber of readers. Mr.. Wason has made
good his promise. The illustrations by
Paul Meylan are SO good as to deserve
special mention.

And yet there is not much of a story
about the work; it is just the exquisite
charm and glamour which the author
succeeds in throwing over his charac-
ters.
This book tells the tale OF how

took the baby home to his house keeper.

try for a few years to gain strength,
but every week Father O'Leary and
Mrs Parfitt journey down to see her.
They become friendly rivals for the
affection of the child. but she has
enough and to spare for both.
Peggy develops into an irresistible
young woman and the reader is not
surprised when love comes to her. But
the course of her true love does not
run smoothly and Peggy barely es-
capes immurement in a convent.
When the book is closed. however,
one does not dream of Peggy. She and
her affairs are all engrossing for
while. but Father O'Leary is the one
who makes the big impression on the
reader. He is a strong and unusual
character He has much more than his
share of good common sense and his
handling of Peggy as she grows is as
tactful as though he were In truth
Daddy O'Leary. He spends most of
his time in doing good deeds. but he
hides it from Peggy and Mrs. Parf1tt
with much craft and quaint humor.
The book is delightful and the most nm
