TAHTE. By Annie Douglas sedguick. ne Cen
tuy Company. Ne~ York City
This Is q novel which well-nigh ap-
proaches perfection. 1t Is no exaggera-
ton to call It a remarkable piece Of ic-
ton. In some respects I should not hes
itate to call It a masterpiece.
Tante is the greatest pianist Of the
day. world-famed. and adored for her
genius, her. beauty. and the magnetism
Of her person. The plot OF the story Is
laid In the world that circles around
her. and depicts the influence OF her
erratic temperament upon the men and
women OF the cosmopolitan society
Of which she is a part.
The book Is well conceived. well exc
cuted. and enriched by descriptive gems
OF rare brilliance and sparkling quail
ties, not easily forgotten once they have
been read.
The qualities Of this authors genius.
indeed, are amazing.
THE MAN WHO LIKES MEXICO. By waIso.
Gillratrick. The centurJ Company, New York
City.
The next best thing to an actual trip
through Mexico Is to read this book. 1t
has all the charm that a good book OF
a personal narrative should have, coupled
with comprehensive. II necessarily con-
densed. view of that legendary country,
geographically and historically.
There are many unusual but none the
less sympathetic adventures, rambles into
old and half forgotten corners. romantic
excursions to look for lost or forsaken
mines. and last. but not least, an inti-
mate acquaintance with Mexican social
life. Probably no other American has
written Of Mexico with such absolute
faithfulness OF the life OF the inhabitants,
especially the natives. nor with such a
sympathetic or intimate touch.
The book describes six years Of travels
and adventure In a land full or romance
and fascination. creating unusual oppor-
tunities for studying all phases OF the
country and the people.
