WITH the probable exception of The
w Flirt, Booth Tarkington's new novel,
The Magnificent Ambersors, is the biggest
book he has written yet. The two have this
likeness, that the earlier is penetrating
study of dangerous young woman and
the later of dangerous young man. The
young woman is dangerously selfish and
the young man is dangerously conceited;
both are entirely typical; both do great
damage; both are faithfully pictured. But
The Magnificent AnIbersons encloses a
panorama of American life from the '70s
to to-day; it has the same value as a
record of a phase of American life that
distinguishes Villa Sibert Gathers mar
rative, MY Antonio, which puts so wildly
on paper early days on the Nebraska
prairie.

Mr.. Clayton Hamilton has edited the first
two volumes of Sir Arthur Pinero's Social
Plays, the first containing lengthy and
Illuminating introduction, each play being
prefaeed with historical notes. Another col

worthy effort to present the reading public
with specimens of our early American
drama.
Books on the theatre and the drama
have been numerous and many of these
have COPIED with the problems of the native
stage. Thomas 81. Dickinson's InSargeRt
Theatre treated the question of the little

The Playwright, the matter of dramatic
structure, while George Jean Nathan's The
Popular Theatre proves to be one of the
soundest and most exhilarating studies Of
the contemporary American drama and
theatre as it actually is.

THIS selection is based upon frae-
l. tional acquaintance with the new
books, and is governed by an almost too
democratic personal liking.
Richard BGldock: Stands with one foot
on conservative old England and the other
on the eternal verities. Its constituents
are, in order of value in the final Empress
sion," incident, character flashes, action
developing with logic of life, conflict Of
wills, sheer writing power quietly, but
lastingly effective.
Sir ISumbrGs at the Ford: Love and adj
venture in England, France and Jersey Of
1895. A charming little emigre boy, a
lovely heroine and a Chevalier who might
have been blood brother to d'Artagnan.
Golden essence of romance.
The Lost Hunters: Mr.. Altsheler writes
with a magic wand sometimes. A white
boy in the wilderness with nine young
Sioux warriors. Nature and wild animals.
Defects, obvious and unimportant. Vir-
tues, positive and healthful for impress
sionable boy readers.
That Year at Lincoln High: City pub
lie high school, instead of private prep.
School rivalries In democratic" atmos-
phere rather crude but stimulating.
Fair Play for the Workers: Without a
blanket Endorsement, let this be praised
for its bold attack on the problems of
social reconstruction.
Lynton and LyHmouth: Literature OF
place" Devonshire: literary and histori-
cal associations, and the pageant of cliff
and moorland." Way above average in its
department.
Modern and Contemporary Europeans
History: Europe since Waterloo social,
economic, political and generally human.
Do modern historians genuinely seorn, or
secretly envy, or stupidity fail to appre-
ciate the literary powers of their prede-
cessorsf
These seven books make pretty COM

COLLECTING books for children, human
~ beings and poets all at once, is q
mighty task, and for any disappointment
that may result we ask indulgence. Most
bewitching of all the books for children is
The Fairy Who Believed in Human Be
ings, Gertrude Rays story of fairy waif
who took the proper attitude toward us
and suffered the immemorial pangs Of
radicals. Next, we feel special fondness
for Tbs Adventures Of Blackberry Bear,
by Margaret Fox, which tells in terms of q
bear how to uphold ones family traditions
without becoming snobbish, and there are
Tales of Giants From Brasil, brought by
early Portuguese settlers and told by Elsie
Spicer Eells.
For in-between ages, when children
should be reading Dickens and Thackeray
but usually won't, we offer Alice Haines's
Firecracker Jane, an extravaganza of our
Mexican campaign and the war just ended
from instructions to elopements, which
should satisfy the most bloodthirsty, re-
gardless of sex. Also Philip Kent in the
Upper School, by Truxtun Hare, one Of
our athletic writers, picturing the joys Of
boarding school in manner calculated to
in sure agony for poverty stricken parents.
A boys book of quite another sort-to
be kept as far as possible from the boys
Themselves Charles Norriss Salt. With
bold and heartless hands he bares the
skeleton of our educational system and
although his text is from Scripture, min
listers should read the novel in secret.
Birth, by IONA Gale, is another example Of
good morals well concealed, less luridly
than those in Sail, but quite as entertain
ingly.
Last and best, for your souls delight,
read Margaret Widdemer's poems Of
saints, fairies and people along The Old
Road to Paradise.

By DOROTHY SCARBOROUGH.
OF the books which 1 have reviewed
" this autumn 1 should give prefer
ence to the following seven, which are here
set down by type and not in relative order
of merit:
Home Fires IN France, by Dorothy
Garfield, combines aetuality of incidents
with a sincerity of purpose and an appeal
ing simplicity that touch the heart.
The Var IN the Cradle Of the World,
by Eleanor Franklin Egan, is distinctive
because Of the fact that it presents ma
terial not accessible elsewhere.
The Young Woman Citizen, by Mary
Austin, is an admirable discussion Of the
responsibilities of the new democracy and
Of woman's share in it
The RsnG,Ody Woman, by Luois Dodge,
is leve story with an unbackneyed plot,
characters out of the ordinary and a
quaint, philosophic humor.
Simple Souls, by John Hastings Turner,
is noteworthy for its scintillating dialogue
and the originality of its dueal hero.
CheerfuNBy Request, by Edna Fer
Der, is an excellent collection Of short
stories revealing alphabetically the in
terest In hum-drum lives.

but you don't need to know HatchwGys.
The Rule of Might, by j. A. Cramb, is,
chiefly among other things, worth while,
live and impressive ictional portrait Of
Napoleon just beyond his zenith, written
by one whose profound knowledge of his
tory had not quenched the spark in his
breast.
Irish Memories is the joint reminis-
cenees of two joyously clever writing Irish
gentlewomen, novelists both, and in col
liberation. The incidental Irish fun is
not to be resisted; even that man Shaw
would probably acknowledge it genuine.
Jungle Peace, by William Beebe, is
collection of the best mature" essays you
can imagine, combining your imagination
to authors who are professional natural
