 papers published her photograph and said she would be very much missed in so- | ciety. They stated that she would be
 missed because she gave such original entertainments.
 Shortly before it was recorded of a young man who met a sudden death in deplorable catastrophe at sea that he would be missed because he could tool tallyho with such grace and dex- terity.
 Whoever thought their way through these items of news could not escape the thought: What waste of life stuff" Amusing entertainments Footing a tally ho! All right in their place. these ac- complishments, but who wants to be re-
 membered for them? Solely for them! With so much building needed in the world! Building of schools, building of organizations for self help and for help of others, building of fortunes, building of characters, life building. And this man
 and this woman, one so, the other well
 into the 40s, are remembered only by
 what was as intellectual in the big scheme
 of the worlds activities, as a rats scam-
 pering across a garret floor.

"THE GOOD sHEPHERpn

By John Roland: Frederick A. Stokes company. publishers. New York.
 The story of physician who in healing "The Good Shepherd" An American sur geon self-exiled in Austria by a plot on his past, impulsively accepts the appeal of remote mountain village for a physi- clan. In his ministrations to the rough simple people of Thiersee Dr. Edwards is aided by the schoolmaster and priest. Gradually their love and belief in him bring belief in himself and finally through a noble woman he passes out of the shadow of the past to life of use fulness among the people to whom he is -"The Good Shepherd"
 In pr. Edwards uphill fight, the author analyzes the doubts. the fears the men, tai illnesses that consciously or uncon- sciously keep most men from full useful ness and manhood-and points the way to freedom.
 One feels that one has been in Thiersee and known its people, so distinctly has the author drawn it's atmosphere and characters If it were only for the pie ture of the quiet Tyrolese valley under the high Alps and the vivid account of It's Passion play, the book would justify itself.

 The present volume represents the cream of MT. Glasss work for the past year or two The stories are of the people he knows through and through and whose virtues and foibles he lights up with humor and understanding.
