They come here ar rogantly, thinking to teach her But through the slow attrition of years 1t is she who does the teaching. This Is the essential point in a novel which in its breadth and far-reaching truth ranks very high among the best contemporary pictures of Americanism. No brief out line of plot can adequately suggest the absorption with which the reader is car ried from page to page by the poignant interest of a group of people made mi raculously alive by the compelling artis try of the simple truth"

In this new novel. she has added an atmosphere of mystery and held back a genuine surprise for her read CTS until near the close of the book. It is safe to say that no one can turn the opening pages of "Nobody's Child without the feeling that something is going to happen, that strong wills are about to clash, that mystery is in tho air. and thta the love of man for wom- an Is going to play a leading part i'll this life drama There are several fam lilies and many characters involved and their relationships are too fntricately fnterwoven to permit an explanation of the plot in the space of a review.

run FLAME

By Olive Wadsley. Frontispiece. Dodd,
 Mead &s O., publishers, New York.
 In plot, in characterization, in every way, "The Flame" is Miss Wadsley' s best novel.
 We read the books of Ga1sworthy, of Walpole and of Wells with our intel lects; we read book like this one by Olive Wadsley with our hearts. In "The Flame" Miss Wadsley will be found adding fresh laurels to her name as an artist in realism. It is better book and a bigger book in every way than either of her others, both in plot and characterization. Toni Saumarez is easily the best of her heroines. As a child of 10 Toni is rescued from the London slums-a very little girl with unlimited vocabulary of gutter Ian guage. Young womanhood finds her an incurable idealist, radiantly young, not a bit pretty, but immensely anus ing with an infectious magnetism, a huge capacity for emotion and that mysterious thing a fascinating person. ality. When romance comes to her it means intense emotion. born like a flame and like a flame consuming her" Instinctively a pagan, with a great longing for life and happiness she lives "on the top of things"-before tragedy overwhelms her in the death of her lover.

 To quote from Dr. Crile's book: "If an individual unjustly takes through stealth or by force what belongs to his neighbor, a protective reaction is awakened in the community against tifat individual. The nations are opposed to Germany for the same reason that the individuals are op- posed to a robber or a murderer.
 Whether the German state wins or loses this war, it stands to lose ulti- mately."
 Its philosophy that might makes right cannot win against the saner doctrine of the allies"
