"THE MISCHIEF MAKER"

BY E. Phillips Oppenhem. With illus
trations by Hanson Booth Little,
Brown & Co., Boston,
In his newest novel r. Phillips Open
helm returns to the type of story that
has achieved for him his greatest popu-
larity-a blending of love, romance and
diplomatic intrigue. The publication of
an indiscreet letter written by Sir Julien
Portel bachelor member of the British
cabinet to tho wife of an ambitious M.
p. results in Sir Julien's resignation and
exile in France where he is thrown in
with the shrewd and resourceful arbitcr
rer~ran politics, Prince Won Falken-
berg. The latter is striving to break
..s.s..l lI4e entente cordiale existing oe-
tween France and England; and Sir Ju-
lien, discarded minister but still a pa
triot is not slow to comprehend the
others plans and seize the only way pos
sible to combat them. In the startling
occurrences that follow many interesting
characters have important parts, includ-
ing a clever journalist, French dancer.
and an extraordinary American woman.
Mr. Oppenheim has written nothing more
strikingly dramatic than the climax Of
this brilliant story of love and internal
tional politics, in which two strong men
match wits against each other and a
woman's words decide the destinies OF
nations.
Mr. Oppenheim is not only one of tho
hest writer's known to the literary world
today. but he is one of the most original.
Always clever, always bright, always
Astounding in delicious sense OF humor
as well as possessing keen insight Into
human nature. Mr.. Oppenheim gathers his
clientele from all quarters, and In noth-

old man educator is one of the most
splendid figures of our south.
The glory of DIR. William Leroy Broun's
life WAS its usefulness-its fortnight util-
ity. 1t was not what he knew, but what
he did, not what he idealized, but what
he realized; not what he visioned, but
what he made possible-that gives his
name permanent place among the BEN
efactors of his race. A university man.
| a college professor, a college president
the peer of any college bred man in the
country, his life was not scholarly
waste, lost in distractions and literary re-
finements. 1t was a sustained effort to
further the cause of Industrial and tech
nical education in the south. And so
fundamental, thorough, and far-reaching
| was his work that 1t is hard to write of
him with moderation.
In preparing this life OF DR.. Broun,
Major Broun, his brother, Miss Broun,
his daughter and Miss Ordway, his
granddaughter, have done the work of
editors, and not biographers, in the ac-
cepted meaning of the term. This book
is not a memoir. 1t is not an apprecia-
tion. The compilers have selected tho
material that they thought fitted for the
need, arranged it In logical order. and
published it without COMMENT Without
comment Whether this reticence on the
part of the compilers arises from sensi-
tiveness Ga distinguishing trait of the
Brouns), or from reverential love too
deep for display In words--whatever the
cause.-the effect of this Spartanlike meth
cd is beautiful and satisfying. The book
has the effect of fine charcoal sketch,
in which the few lines are bold and sin
cere, making a triumph of revealment.
The work Is divided into five parts.
Parts 1 and 2 contain a brief biograph-
ical outline, taken from "rhe South in
the Building of the Nation; from 'Notes
on the Early Life of DR.. Broun," dictated
by hirnself-a marvellous bit of autold-
ography, reminding one, in its austere
directness of Wordsworth's dictated
Notes; and from brief memorial papers
found after DIR. Broun's death, some

"a GUIDE TO THE MONTESSORI
METHOD"

METHOD'
BY Ellen Yale Stevens. Illustrated. Fred
ericlS A. Stokes and company, New
York
An Interpretation of the Montessori
Method for American mothers and teach
ers, with practical directions as to how
to apply it, and coherent explanation
of it's psychological basis is presented in
this volume by Ellen Yale Stevens. 1t
includes logical presentation of the sue
cessive steps of the method, a description
of the proper use of the material, sug-
gestions as to adaptation of the method
to American conditions. and focuses the
attention on the deeper, spiritual side of
DR.. Montessoris message to our times, a
side of the highest Importance, too much
overlooked.
Nothing can be a substitute for Mon
tessoris book itself, but this is a practi-
cal and helpful Introduction and an inter-
probation which will dispel any miscon-
ceptions of DIR. Montessori's theories.
Miss Stevens Is a graduate of the
Teachers College of Columbia and of
the University of Chicago, she is princi-
pal of the Brooklyn Heights seminary,
she has studied under DR.. Montessori
herself, and has made actual experiments
with the method with American children.

A SONG FOR YOU
There's a song for you. and song fol
me,
There's song for everyone;
A song of love or a song OF glee,
Or song of duty done;
song by day, and a song by night
A song of joy. a song of right;
Let your merry soul with music throng
Oh, hath your heart its share Of song
The rivers voice a vasty theme,
Majestic to the sea-
The sentient stars of evening beam
With mystic melody;
The armament Is glad with mirth,
Oh. happy happy, happy earth!
Let music heal the hurt of wrong,
Sing till we have our share of song.
The moc1xing bird is prince of all
The happy songster tribe.
His joy is so ecstatic,
That he should be scribe,
And set his music unto words.
So we could something know
OF all his pain and passion,
OF all his bliss and woe.
He sings by night, he sings by day
Eager. alert, and trim,
And every note that floats his way
He weaves into hymn
All the rare random music
OF the heavy-banging woods,
He stores within his soul to pour
On moonlight solitudes.

great unfolding comes as a fitting climax
for so strange and refreshing a tale, it
is with no sigh of II fold you So" that
he lays down the book. From start to
finish the story Is one glorious surprise.
The Impossible Boy is both a tale of
the open road and rushing, a rollicling
novel of big breezy, bustling New York.
Gypsies and artists. society folk, reckless
Bonemans, bold conspirators and one
performing bear in particular (for there
are several more or less important Bruins
In the story unite to keep things pacing
down the road to Already. From the care
free, airy life of the wandering gypsies
along the highway you are carried to
the strangest, gayest spot in Gotham s
fascinating Bohemia, where life knows
no rules and is confined by no logical
standards. It's an escapade, a joyous
adventure to live in this wonderful world
that Nina Wilcox Putnam has created in
this captivating novel.
Pedro, a little gypsy lad, is the central
figure Answering the call of the genius,
with his performing bear, Mr.. Jones. shuf-
fling along behind him, he sets out for
New York No sooner does he strike the
flagstones of the busy metropolis than
excitement reigns supreme. In less than
no time he is heralded as a celebrity. He
becomes the center of not .one, but two
holding romances. With the inevitable
Jones, he is fairly hurled into the seeth-
ing center of a daring, bubbling, boiling
revolutionary scheme.
Adventures follow adventures in rapid
succession. The element Of suspense
grows and grows. More intense becomes
the love story with every chapter, more
urgent the excitement with every page
You are carried up, up, up and on, on,
On and then-like lightning out of a
clear sky-wholly without warning,
wonderful denouement-the revelation of
Pedro's real identity.
1t is an experience to read this capri
oious tale The characters bring their
own atmosphere with them. Action and
mystery, love and humor, thrills and sur
prises, all find place. There is fresh
plot and clever talk. There is much that
is quaint, amusing and bizarre. The
story is pictorial and poetic, and carries
the reader far out of his own work-a-
day world into one that is free from
care and responsibility. The spirit of
brotherhood existing among the strollers
gives them open sesame to the readers
heart. and with them he revels in free
dom, glad for time to forget his worldi-
ness. The Impossible Boy is clever
