"GARLINGTON''

By Frank Prentice Rand, The Cornhili Company Publishers, No. 69 Cornhiil, Boston.
 Mr. Rand's present volume gives ex- pression in the established and familiar verse form of our literature, to a few of the moods of the inner life of many New England Darlington as seen De- meath the shadow of the great war. All but inevitably the themes revert to love and death, the two supreme exper1- ences of many; and if the half-lights of pathos seem to play upon them too freely. they too are ephemeral like the shadow when compared with the headlands ot human character beneath. There are those to whom, because of rural associations, "Garlingtown" should particularly ap- peal, but it is intended for all who look for reality infinite aspiration,-for aftes all, Darlington is the world.
 Among the poems especially interesting is the one entitled
 THE SINGER
 His heart has heard the singing
 Of brooks and bees and birds;
 He knows the chattels clinging
 To haokneyed, human words.
 He feels through all his numbers
 The nagging throbs of thought;
 His lightest measure 1umbers
 With fancies feebly wrought.
 He seeks to ease the burning
 Which some assauge in tears;
 He fain would still the ycarnings Of wistful, weary years. He sings, with deep misgiving And oft in minor key, Of love--the lure of living, ] Of death-the mystery.

 The vivid war pictures collected in Passed as Censored" by Capt. Bertram M. Bernstein, derive, perhaps, their most striking value from the fact-apparent in every line-thta they were written without the faintest idea of publication. They are just the letters of an Amer ican surgeon, sent from France to those he left at home But they are more than a mere surgeon. A graduate and member of the faculty of the medical school or the John Hopkins university, with two authoritative books on surgical suoJects to his credit, before the war began ne was among the first to be sent aproau.

"oUT OF THE sILENCEs."

''OGT OE THE SlbENOto.
 By Mary E. Waller. Little, Brown Co.,,
 publishers, Boston.
 Miss Walters new story is a present. day romance, with its principal scenes laid in Canada, just over the border from Dakota. The central character of the book, Bob Collamore, an American boy, is left as a youngster of g In charge Of Wm. Plunkett, a saddlemaker of quaint philosophy, broad sympathes, and wide knowledge of the human heart. With Prnket's step-son, McGille, and the chill dren of the Cree Indian tribe quartered in the neighborhood, Bob spends the early years of his teens, absorbing knowledge of nature and life and Indian ways from red men and from white. Finally comes ambition and the white mans eagerness to match his wits against his fellows, to learn the ways of a civilized world out side his circle of mountain and forest.
 Forth Bob fares, strong in confidence of his own untried powers to meet and con- quer all difficulties. Once in the new world he finds that his early years have left an indelible impress on his charac- ter, and have furnished him with ideals. with philosophy, and with definite out look on life. Eventually come love and romance and success, and then with the outbreak of the war the call to his man. hood which carries him to France.
 The character drawing in Miss Walters new book Is as Illuminating as any pop ular author has ever accomplished, and the characters themselves are sharply in- dividualized. She has a deep insight into Indian life and manner of thought and a sympathy with their traditions and ideals.

 When the devoted Martin discovers, as he does immediately, that Joan con siders that the form of marriage must not alter their conventional relations until she has her adolescent fling, generously gives her time to find herself. Living up to her creed of "Who Cares?" the charming and excited girl-child takes seat on the society of Roundabout, con- tinues to dodge her responsibilities. and the bridge which separates her from Martin threatens to become impossible.
 Handling this difficult and hitherto unattempted theme in an accomplished manner, the author of "The Blindness of Virtue," and Scandal has told story of surpassing human interest and move ment.
 THE CURIOUS QUEST"
 By E. Phillips Oppenheim. Frontispiece
 by F. vaux Wilson. Little, Brown &
 Co.,. publishers, Boston.
 The scenes of this new Oppenheim novel are laid in London before the war. and the plot is an unusual one, even for this versatile English author. It is the story of the amazing experiences of MT. Ernest Bliss, rich young idler who, when told by his frank physician, Sir James Aldroyd, M. D., that he had no moral stamina, wagered the doctor e2o,- 600 ito a shake of the hand and an hon. est apology that he could start with five-pound note and live for year on what he could earn.
 Then follows the unique adventures Of this temporary impecunious young man in his various employments. Giving his lawyers power of attorney over his for tune of s1,25O,000 sterling, he first of all attempted the difficult task of selling Alpha cooking stoves, then he became light porter for man who proved to be blackmailer; subsequently, he proved to be an efficient green grocer's assist ant until his employers husband reap peared, and later on he acted as chaffeur for a mysterious woman, and finally descended to driving bus. Early in his varied career he met in Frances Clayton a most engaging typist, who enlisted his affection, but to her as well as his older friends whom he encountered he remained an enigma until the end of the year. Then-but the denouement of this | original and expressing story must be l left to the interested reader to discover | Told in his characteristic manner, this captivating narrative will afford ample
 entertainment to MT. Oppenheim's large | following.

 unconquered, That thou mayest test me In this hour

 but a dream? Live, though conquered, yet snail l
