devoted to his correspondence. s. g.
Tallentyre. who is the author of a BIZ

man. has selected eighty -four of the
letters which sac regards as illuminat-
ing and put them into a volume with
explanatory notes.
They will prove most interesting to
students of the man and of his neriod.
Among them are his letter to Horace
Wapolc on Shakespeare. in which he
exhibits his inability to understand the
genius of the Englishman and his
nrciudice in favor of the, greatness of
French, comparing the Greek tragedians
with the French to the disadvantage of
the Greeks. In other letters he dis
cusses Pope and Milton. His famous
letter on Admiral Ryng is included and
there is a letter to a young lady on
reading in which the lady is advised
to read the few literary masterpieces

THRILLING TALES
BY SAX ROHMER
4 Nopelist Who Pits the Wit
Of the East against That
of the Vest

Sax Rohmer has achieved n reputa :
ton for writing mystery stories of a
most unusual kind. He pits the wit and
ingenuity of the Oriental against these
qualities in the Occidental. and the
Oriental usually wins. He has followed
his formula in two new books which
have been published this fall. One is
Dope" and the other "The Quest OF
the Sacred Slipper"
dope" was frankly written to ex-
pose the methods of the illicit dealers in
drugs in London. 1T was provoked by
the sensational death year or two ago
OF Miss Billie Carleton, an actress. from
an overdose of drugs, after attending
ball. Rohmer makes his heroine a
young woman who had been on the
stage, had contracted the drug taking
habit through the influence of an un-
scrupulous man who wished to use her
for his pleasure. and had married a
rich and influential Londoner, much to
the disappointment of the man who had
been pursuing her. When the story
opens her husband had grown Suspi
cious of her faithfulness and had been
employing detectives to watch her. She
is traced to the rooms of an alleged
Oriental interpreter of dreams in com =
pany with the man who had taught her
| to use drugs. When the husband, with
the aid of the police. breaks into the
rooms he finds nothing there but the
dead body of the suspected man, His
wife had disappeared. and no trace
could be found of her or of any of the
attendants of the place. The story
deals with the hunt for her and its fnal
success, and with an exposure of the
connection of the British drug users
with a Chinese smuggler of opium. The
traffic is broken up, but the Chinese, thf
chief agent in it, escapes through his
cleverness 1t is a most thrilling an(
sensational tale.
The other book is occupied with {

IMPRESSIONS OF WAR
Small Things" More Than a
Chronicle of Minutiae Af-
fecting Sensitive Mind

Small Things" gathers into volume
form the several penetrating and signifi-
cant papers contributed from France,
the scene of action. sacrifice and service,
to American magazines during the period
of Americas participation in the battle
for world freedom.
The book is much too modestly en-
titled. To he sure. it is a chronicle
of the minutiae of the war, but not in
any trivial or petty sense rather in
the large aspect of the aggregate and
accumulation of details which spell vast
and vital signiticanccs, both ethical and
spiritual.
For Mrs. Dcland interprets the odd
ments of the day, the commonplaces of
routine. the daily serving and suffering
France; she sees beneath the surface
and reads something of the soul. SO
her chapters that reveal the sacrifice
and the vision are lustrous and luminous
still. although the dark days of 1917
and 1918 which called the various pa
ners into print have passed. let us hope
forever. Happier records will be in
scribed on the parchment. but always
it will be well for the civilization that
was saved to have in such books as
this a palimpsest that will record the
horrors. the tcrrors, the infelicity of
the past
Her book has been described as a
record of the reactions of the war upon
small and unimnortant pernans in

who have scouts in the list of Christ
mas giving will do well to look over
these books.
"The Boy Scouts Year Book" is
again edited by Franklin *. Matthews.
the editor of the Boy Scouting Mag
azine. This lives up to its title of "Thc
Biggest Boys Book of the Year" for
it is about three times the usual page
size and its bigness also applies to its
variety and interest of contents as well
as it's bulk. Chief Scout Executive
West has a message of inspiration to
lead off and the contents contains whole
some but red blooded fiction by Thomas
s. Miller. Wilbur Boyer. j. Allan
Dunn. A. w. Tolman and other favorite
writer's. There are also many helpful
and instructive practical articles on
sub jects of woodcraft. canoeing. how to
make, and similar topics, all of them
thoroughly tested and carefully de-
scribcd. Both the fiction and the prac-
teal articles are profusely illustrated
THE Boys of the Otter PATROL deals
with British Boy Scouts and has an
introduction by General Baden Powell
founder of the British Scouts. 1t has
both larks and adventures cntertainingly
blended and will doubtless contain much
of interest to American scouts and give
them an understanding of their com
rades across the Atlantic.
tom Strong. Lincoln's Scout" is
not a Boy Scout book but is a book
that Boy Scouts will like, 1t is by
Alfred Bishop Mason. who has written
n whole series of books covering scouts

This one, of course. has to do with the
Civil War. Tom finds himself at the
White House as the chum of Lincoln s
son. Later he has n chance to show
his mettle by carrying dispatches of i'm
pOrtance for the President. His adj
ventures are all told against back
ground of history that makes this period
of our history easy to read and as
simulate.
Chief Scout Librarian Matthews also
is the selecter and editor of '"The Boy
