How much is Christy Mathewson worth
This is one of the questions recently asked

answer But it is safe to say that he
should not become an object of charity

"THE GREEN ALLEYS"

BY Eden Phillpotts. The Macmillan
company publishers. New York.
The last two or three novels of Eden
Phillpotts have told the stories of
great industries-slate mining in Old
Delabole and pottery in Brunel,s
Tower for example. To this series,
which, according to the critics every
where, represents Mr.. Phillpotts at his
best there is now added the tale of
the Kentish hop fields. Here the au-
thor has remarkable background
against which to set off drama of
great interest and originality, drama,
moreover. which demonstrates again
his sure grasp of character and Incl
dent. One of the authors critics has
said:
among all the English novelists
who are writing nowadays, the sense
and the command over the interaction
of place and character has its great
est effect in Mr.. Phillpotts. During the
past 20 years he has written of the
scene and people of ENGLAND with an
accuracy and imagination that have
brought them very close to us"
Mr.. Phillpotts remarkable feeling
for character and his ability to Gre
ate it in multitudinous and ever
varying forms make. perhaps. the
novels chief distinction. Each one of
his many people in this hop fleld re-
R1On is faCY with lnQlVlu udllty. Lie
two brothers are strongly contrasted
and stand out, thoroughly revealed by
a thousand delicate and subtle lines
of portrayal. But of all these many
interesting people the most interest
ing is Georgina Crowns. mother of the
two brothers. In her own very dif1er-
ent way she is as forceful and as
challenging as was Emmo Tresliion
the mountainous head of the SNUG
glers' gang in Mr.. Phillpotts' Faith
Tresilion." When the war breaks out
as it does in the latter part OF the
story, Georgina becomes a ver1taple
warrior mother in her passion OF pa
triotism and with scornful words
scourges her two sons. both somewhat

By Oscar Graeve; the Century company,

The Keys of the CITY, by Oscar
Graeve, is a story of New York, show
ing it in little known aspects. Within
the bounds of Americas imperial city
there are thousands of families living
in small homes. whose children play
the games of all American children,
who dream the dreams common to
childhood, and make mud pies. and sail
little ships, and enjoy the traditional
loyalty of their friendly dogs.
The Keys of the City" tells the
story of such children--an imaginative
boy and girl living in Bay Ridge,
which is in South Brooklyn, within
sound and sight of the sea. Across
the harbor the boys see Manhattan,
. sometimes in it's glow of light, some
times shrouded in the mists of gray
i7days. With the ambition of boyhood
he dreams of a day when they will
hand him the keys of the city over
, there.
What happens to him as he grows
Unto manhood, sometimes very far
from his dream, sometimes very close
TO it; the men and women that weave
across his life; the many businesses
5hat he enters, describes and leaves;
is own battles with the temptations
that arise in his path; and what befalls

1.-THE Hampstead Mystery" is baf-

"The Hampstead Mystery" is a murder

advantage over many of its kind that
never. till the very last chapter is
sighted does the reader know the real
author of the tragedy. He is kept
guessing as to whether the wealthy
man found murdered in the library of
his house in Hampstead was the vic
tim of a society womans revenge, of
his own buffers, of burglars. or in what
strange manner he came to his tragic
end. Quite as interesting as the muir
der theme itself is the by-play of the
detectives-Scotland Yard in compe-

the bluffing and the counter play of
wits matched against each other keep
