surprise, you sprung Margie on us.

Eleanor, but for some reason she has

"Jim, you don't know what you are

1.-THE Boys Motley"

A book written and arranged most
admirably Is The Boys Motley" a
version for younger readers OF "The
Rise OF the Dutch Republic" The au-
thor, Helen Ward Banks. has prefxed
each chapter with list OF the char
acters contained therein, the place and
time, much in the manner of drama.
This idea would seen to be an ex-
cellent way OF impressing clearly
upon the youthful mind Just what,
when and whom they are going TO
read about, making complete picture
rather than an accumulation OF dis
Jointed facts. Also, 1t adds reality to
the characters, much as play does,
and aids the imagination to make OF
them real living beings. Too much
cannot be said Of this excellent book,
which will be read with interest by
both young and old. Beautiful pic
lures In colors add to the attractive
ness.

"The Grand Asslze.p


A quaint and original idea remind

the House," though not as artistically
executed, is THE Grand Assize," by
Hugh Carton. II is the Judgment day
and Christ is the pitiful. though just
judge. Before him come the various
types OF human beings and plead their

ton In human nature TO which | did
not pander-the thought OF the wreck

me compared TO the prospect OF an
enormous increase In our circulation"
The sentence OF the Judge may be
read to their advantage by all such
newspapers.

Illuminating and would lend itself to
action of a higher type as well, per

With this volume comes another
from the same source, on an Enquiry

rowing and brutal, that 1t takes some
courage to look at them.
This book is valuable, as II gives
us an unpreJudiced, calm statement
only possible from an alien people,
on the various phases of this war.
In the end we are impressed with the
utter injustice and uselessness OF the
whole thing, having greed and ambi-
ton as its real source. The natural
antipathfes, the religious training,
pretndices, etc, were all played upon
that the results desired by those In
