KITTY CANARY"
 By Kate Langley Bosher Harper Bros publishers New York

By Kate Langley Bosher. Harper Bros, publishers New York
 Kitty Canary, a delicious blending of youth. spontaneous charm, humor and
 unexpectedness, invades a Virginia town whose social foundations are ancestry She is nothing if not original. Some one has called her "a rich Mary Cary,'' which does her bewitching individuality an injustice. And, further, she has ar rived at the age of conquest-a power which she and the reader enjoy. She was soon friends with every one, in every station of life, not allowing the fact taht she was the daughter of a rich man to influence her in her choice. She had a liberal education in love affairs-her own
 and others-by the time the summer waa over

 Kitty Canary tells her own story. She is young person of 16, and begins her narrative by announcing: T am in love. It is the most scrumptions thing l have ever been in." Not caring about the fashionable resort where her mother and sisters are to spend the summer, she goes to stay with very distant rea- tive who keeps boarding house in little place called "Twickenham Town" There she rearranges the lives of sav- eral of the inhabitants in the way ana with the success customary to heroines of this peculiar type of very light fic- tion, and indulges in very large amount of philosophizing. Of course, she has two lovers, and the book ends with her engagement to the youth of 20, who was evidently intended for her from the first The plot is slight and suggests that, with radical cutting, the novel might have made an agreeable short story.

GREEN FRuT-.

GREEN FRUIT l By John Peale Bishop, Sherman, French | & Co. publishers, No. Beacon street, | Boston.
 The beauty of these poems is classic and stately with the unhurried color fui, pertumed exquisiteness of green cnpt, cloistered gardens and of love- l " women in rich brocades, with the courtly gallantry of powdered wigs and pleated ruffs, with the art of {. tapestry where ugliness is left out and beauty emphasized With a few excep- tions the grim and bald work of the realists is left to other hands. Poi gnant often, yet not with the ragged, | epellant-scarred heartbreak of expe- rience sorrow and tragedy are the dear sorrows of youth, to be hugged to the bosom delightedly because, after all. the heart is untouched. The greatest appeal of the volume is rather to the senses than to the emotions-and it might be said in passing, not infre- quently as much to the eye as to the ear; the author has an instinct for words that paint as we'll as for rhythm. Take this bit from Tn the Wind" for instance:
 Yellow clowns in an enormous panto-
 mime,
 The severed leaves rush over the rreer
 baize
 Into the sunlight,
 Tumble, somersault, whirl.
 Rush to the wings
 While in a flash of crimson
 Some delirious columbfne
 Prouettes, wheels. lifts in the air. And sinks in slow agony of de1icious
 grace.
 TWO YEARS IN CoNsTANTINoPL.E., by ID. Harry Stuermer Georpe IT
 Doran Co., publishers, New York.
 The publication of this book in Switzer- land was an act of lofty courage. The author was cut off at once, and perhaps forever, from Germany and Austria Hun gary-from his friends, relations and property there. The work was at once translated into French, and an English edition had an immense circulation.
 "A tremendous indictment of German military methods, book thrilling with generous indignation" declares the New York Evening Post; coming from the German war correspondent who reported the Dardanelles campaign for one of the most influential papers in Germany, and who had served in the German army earlier in the war.
 It was certain evidence of the German governments responsibility for the Amer ican atrocities which led the author to turn against Germany. He makes a for nal statement on oath that he has writ ten this book to relieve his conscience by stating the truth about the things he has seen and experienced in Constantinople as German correspondent.
 But first and foremost it is the bleed- ing story of a Germans conversion
 The author makes the formal statement on oath that he has written this book to relieve his conscience by stating the truth about the things he has seen and experienced in Constantinople as a Ger man correspondent The picture of Ger man and young Turkish ethics and pol itics is brilliantly done, and altogether the book is a historic performance. The book has, and still continues to be, re- viewed at elaborate length in the English publications.

Melee, as all those know who I were interested in his "Casuals of the l Sea-, is a marine engineer who ever ] since the breaking out of the war has been doing his full bit" and perhaps ! something more, on British craft in Mediterranean waters. It was there. at odd moments, that he rewrote from 1 a previous version this newly pub 1 lished tale. In it's original form it was published in England some years ago and few copies were distributed in this country. But it did not become i generally known, and in his charming jspreface to this volume MT. Melee tells ' the story of his dissatisfaction with the tale in it's first incarnation and of how he rewrote it as his ship on peril ous and important missions made her way through those waters. Up and down the Aegean sea-" he says, past fields of mines and fields of asphodel, past many an isle familiar in happier days to me, I took my book and my new convictions about human folly. It was slow business, for it so chanced that my own contribution to the war involved long hours. But Aliens grew.
