NEW BOOKS.

by Bertrand W. Sinclair.


Stella Burton. has been reared in
New York Her father was broker
and made lots of money and she
had everything she wished.
Just before the opening of the story
MIR. Burton was killed in an auto
accident and when affairs were
settled the daughter had practically
nothing left. She accepted an in
vitation from her brother to come
to him, He was cutting lumber in
big camp in British Columbia
He had been in the west for several
years and was at this time filling
his first big contract. Life in the
camp was indeed a change The
brother was so ambitious that he
used every one to advance his own
interests and when the cook went
on spree Stella was compelled to
take his place. Jack Fyfe success
full lumberman offers her a way
out by marrying him She accepts
and the story tells how she finally
adjusts herself and learns by ex-
perience to place the proper values
on men.
The story is well written and a
very interesting one.

Petey Simmons at Siwash
by George Fitch.
Petey Simmons is the son of
wealthy parents and he goes to
college at Siwash. The author
understands the subject thoroughly
The middle west is full of just such
colleges and they each have their
share Of just such boys as Petey.
Petey took to college life like
duck to water He was full of the
college spirit and if, at times, he
needed a little conceit taken out of
him there were plenty of boys there
who were not only able but willing
to do the work.
The accounts of fraternity affairs,
class room episodes, and experience
with the goods are true to life.
Fitch is a wizard with college
slang and his writings appeal to
our young Americans
He was born IN Illinois and spent
most of his life there, This is his
last work. He died in August 1915
