HER COUNTRY" ]"

By Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews
 Charles Scribner's Sons, publishers, New
 York.
 For the subject of her new short story Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews has chosen the Liberty Loan and has woven about it the same stirring, moving, ap- pealing qualities that her other stories have always held.
 The heroine is young woman with a wonderful voice, who feels sure that she will become one of the great singers of the world if she can earn the money for it's cultivation, is thoroughly hard headed, sef-centered and self-absorbed girl. When the war comes she is well along in her purpose of earning and saw ing the money which will enable her to carry out her musical plans. Her broth CT is taking an important part in the Liberty Loan drive and she goes with him to sing America to his audiences of working men and women. Mrs. Andrews portrays with the skill of an artist the gradual awakening of the young woman n to a sense of her obligation to the coun- try which is her home, until at last. moved and shamed out of her selfish ness, she gives all her savings for the needs of the America of which she has been singing-and wins her reward in the added warmth which comes into her voice. As in all her stories, refinement of idea and distinction of style mark the narrative. and. in addition, it's setting is attractive.

"A BOOK OF REMARKABLE
 CRIMINALS"

Eng land and America as Charles Peace. Rob- ert Butler, M. Rerues. Dr. Castaing, Mir. Holmes. the Widow Gras, vitalis and Marie Boyer, the Fenayrou. case and Fly raud and Bompard. One of the principal missions of this book may be said to be the proving of the fact, that criminals are not particularly different from other people by nature, and that Fit is not too much to say that in everyone of us there, are the seeds of potential criminality,Y as the author says in his introduction.' Whereas, the Lombroso school tried to show that criminals were physiological fly differentiated group in society. this book shows how much environment may contribute to crime-on the whole a much more humanitarian attitude toward the

 The author is a well-known journalist in England, and has previously written the biographies of such famous crimi- nals as Judge Jeffreys. The book, en-, Enthusiastically hailed by reviewers abroad, has created a furor in scientific circles. The author is well known among crimi- nologists as one of the most astute and

The author quotes a head of a great French prison as saying that it is little more than the accident of birth that prevented him from changing shoes with his prisoners.

 fishers. Garden City. New York.
 Edna Ferber knows humanity-in every condition of life-aHd she knows how to make her readers actually live with her characters.

 They are human men and women. Some of them you will love. some you will hate few you will be sorry for. You will recognize them, each and every one, and their stories will leave you more cheerful about your own lot in life,
 In the collection Edna Ferber is found at her best. She has put forth her great est talents-humor, cynicism, sympathy and pathos-=and no cleverer, brighter stories have been written in ages than those contained in "Cheerful-By Re quest"

 THE BLACK WATCH" By Scout Joe Cassells. Formerly of the
 Black Watch Regiment. Doubleday
 Page & Co, publishers, Garden City,
 New York.
 Scout Cassells is one of the very few survivors of that "contemptible little army that fought from Mons to the Marne-the bloodiest trail of sacrifice in history. With no hope for victory, 1t could only clog the wheels of the Jugger- naut with lives sold bravely and dearly. Before countless superiority of numbers it could only stand and fall, and stand and fall again, until the cause of the allies was saved for the hour. This book is the thrilling story of that fight-the record in action of the historic Black Watch regiment, which, as part of the British regular army, held the day for civilization.

women in whose veins the blood of a sound aristocracy flows who by choice or necessity have donned the mask of obscurity. It is of the high born who dwell in low places, that this tale is told And most amusing tale it is-a truly unusual and delightful bit of fancy built upon fact The reader is in the confi- dence of these interesting foreigners and laughs to think how differently people would act if they knew who these men and women were. There is the mar chioness, who is fashionable dress maker; the princess, who runs a pawn shop; the prince, who is an antique deal CT; the lord, who serves as a chauffeur and is in love with titled English girl who masquerades as governess, and you never stop reading for minute until you wave farewell to Lord and Lady Temple as their ocean liner sets out for England.
