Summer reading is, in the end, not
a question OF certain classes CT liter
ature, but of assumedly greater leis-
ure for reading. This is all there is
to the question; the vacationist will
make his own choice according to
his inclinations. One word of ad-
vice, however, in conclusion. Take
with you one of the Rev. DR.. Croth-
ers's volumes of cSsays-take them
all; the latest OF them is Votes for
Women" And be sure to provide
yourself with a copy of Simeon
Strunsky's "Belshazzar Court: Viii
lage Life in New York City" You
will certainly not leave these two
delightful companions behind when
you pack up to return to town.

, Susan Glaspelps Fidelity" 1t Is
not light reading; it is grirnly realis-

its workmanship it is probably the
best American novel published this

Detective fiction is perhaps more
effective when read in the cosey 81

SUMMER READING.

SUMNER READING.
The term has only a general sig
nifcaucc. What it means depends
entirely upon the reader. There
are. however. summer books-those
devoted to gardening and wild flow
crs and shrubs and trees and birds
and butterflies; even TO gardenettes
in city yards. Then there are books
on summer sports, and, in these
days Ct open-air performances, on
pageantry and dramatics for young
and old. Books Of travel come more
or less under this head. One won
dcrs, by the way, what effect
reading Of, for instance, Bacdekers
Belgium and Northern France or
East Prussia or Galicia would have
upon those whom these guides led
through those countries before the
war. In fact. tie collector may do
well TO preserve the latest editions
Of all guidc-books of the regions
devastated by the struggle. They
will be curiosities in the days TO
come when new Europe has been
built upon the ruins of the old.
This season, however, our eyes
are turned westward, to Califor-
MA. whose literature, already large
one, thanks to the loyalty of her
children. has been considerably aug
mented in connection with the Pan
ANA Worlds Fair. There are guides
for the traveller and books Of de-
scr;rtion, sumptuously illustrated,
for The stay-at-home. A growing
literature Of South America is at
our command, and, if we would
roam far abroad, there is James
Baraes's refrcshingly novel record
Of his expedition Through Central
Africa from Coast to Coast" in
search Of moving pictures for the
worlds natural history muscums-a
book in whose pages the defamation
of the express rife is not heard, in
which there is no slaughter Of big
game. A welcome change.
Of the making Of many books
about the war there is no end
books Of accusation and justification
and explanation, diplomatic docu-
ments and military studies. The
choice is bewildering, but in the
mass there stand out the books Of
American correspondents in the
field, Irwin Cobb's Paths of Glory"

House and the Legislature the material
for her first book, volume Of short
stories. Her first novel, "The Glory Of
the Conquered" followed, and proved
a success. Miss Glaspell spent a year
in Paris, lived for a while on ranch
in Idaho, and, on her marriage, settled
down in Provincetown, Mass. Both her
new home and the earlier one in the
West have furnished the backgrounds
for Fidelity" a novel that justifies the
highest expectations from this young
American authors future career.

Attitude In War

In a statement given out to the press

attitude of President Wilson, as ex.

German government anent the Lusi-

made by submarines upon unarmed and
defenseless merchantmen, and declared
that ''all America would sustain the
administration regardless of politics or
place In commenting upon President

"To my mind President Wilson g
communication to Germany expresses
American sentiment with both yigor
and tolerance. The United States con.
demns the methods which made posi-.
Bile the Lusitania horror and rightfully
demands such reparation as can be
offered for priceless American lives.
Especially must submarine attacks up.
on unarmed and unwarned merchant,

suggestions we can be satisfied and
with honor. If refusal or unreasonabl,
temporizing results, this country will
accept eventualities with clear con.
science, though peace should be our
utmost desire. But in whatever course
is forced upon us all America will sus
tain the administration regardless OF
politics or place. Meanwhile hysteria
and jingoism should be discouraged.
