"The Siamese Cat"

TTENRY MILNER RIDEOUTS
L L story, The Siamese Cot, although
published in 1907, is certainly worth re-
reading The central figure is Owen
Scarlet, and the settings run from China
to Egypt
Owen Scarlet has just received let
ter from his uncle's firm which is recalling
him to take charge of the Oriental de-
partment. 1t is the end of his long exile
on the China seaboard. Owen asks him
self: (which way home7 Pacific or
Suez9" A Mexican dollar, tails up, de-
cides for Suez. But on the eve of start
ing, at the ball Of the Tanglin Club of
Singapore, he is introduced to Laura Hol-
borrow, young American girl, travelling
with her aunt and courier, Borkman
Ivy name. They are to sail the following
morning ON the same boat
But Borkman is playing a game all his
own and picks out Siam as the starting
point. 1t begins with the buying of a
Siamese cat. There is a question as to
what it shall be called "What shall I
name hint Something that's big and dig
nifed-and Siamese" Answering Laura's
question, Owen suggests Chao Phya.
Borkhan presents Laura with a silver col
hr for Chao Phya, chung with three
rather large bells, luted cookie shells, that
tinkled musically. 1t was wrought with
raised figures of men and elephants, with
maise of lotus leaves"
To follow Owen Scarlett's adventures
further would be no fair. The Sidmese
Cat is a worth while story.

wharfage While You Wait"

N/AR time marriages are not exactly
w new in fiction, and an uneasy con-
viction that most writers rather dodge the
issue, weakening to the saecharinity of
happy ending, is the result of reading a
few of these books. Marriage While You
Wait, which by the way is a rather flip
pant title for book that is not flippant
at all, is a case in point. 1t is the story
of a girl, not especially emotional in any
way, who meets an officer at war we'd
ding, writes to him constantly while he is at
the front, suddenly whirls into matrimony
when he comes back on leave, and then
readjusts herself during the calm months
after the war.
Arthur Brooke is an abnormal case,
however. He has been invalided home
with trench fever and it leaves him in a
highly nervous state that directly brings
on the brief period of unhappiness that
wakens Sophia to the true perspective of
married life. The lesson of the book may
be found in Sophia's final statement of
what she would ike to say to all young
couples settling down after the war: "You
stick to it and give each other a chance,
for if you don't you may be throwing
away the best chance of happiness you'll
ever have in your life"
Brooke's nervous attitude toward things
in general is not properly comprehended
by Sophia. When he kills her pet dove in

only the beginning Of the mysteries. There
is the bounding of Mrs. Sands by gang
Of seeming blackmailers; the irruption of
Clodagh Riley ON the Sands household;
the theft of Mrs. Sands's peafl necklace,
and-well, the catalogue Of crimes and ad-
ventures fills almost the whole Of the 1923
pages, as we have remarked before. The
Lions Mouse is not a profound story, it
will not stir one to admiration for its real
ity. But it is highly exciting while it lasts
and its climax approaches the bewildering.

and full of action. The Lions Mouse be-
gins in just that fashion and lives up to

Of this latest novel Of c. N. and A. M.
Williamson are so many that it would take
almost as many words to describe them in
a review of the book as it does in the
story; and that runs to 1923 pages. Just
why Beverley White should have asked
Roger Sands, New York lawyer of high
Importance, to protect her and her pre-
cious burden of large sealed envelope on
board the Santa Fee express is not at all
clear in the beginning of the tale. But
just why Roger Sands married Beverley
White in Chicago when the train arrived
there is very plain. Beverley appears. in

kind of girl any man would be apt to

For Fishermen
By ALEXANDER sToDDART.

THERE is truth in the remark of Rob-
Il ert H. Moulton in his foreword to
Fishing, Tackle and Kits, that peru
sal of the Dixie Carroll book twill
enable even the Oldest hands at the fish
ing game to fatten their batting averages"
Fo' Dixie Carroll is an observing angler
with natural love Of the outdoors. Car
roll writes in racy style as BELTS the
sporting pages Of newspapers where the
matter originally appeared in syndicated
form. So well liked has been this feature
OF the( sporting pages 1t has become a
weekly feature in many newspapers
throughout America, and keeps Carroll
busy fishing in order to obtain the mate
rial demanded.
Fishing, Tackle and Kits contains an
unusual amount of interesting things for
the angler. For instance the foxy trick
of the Cree Indian who made bass bite
when they wouldn't by placing frog on
little piece Of birch bark and letting it
float down stream. Just as il passed a
boulder and swung into the edge of a fine
pool he gave it jerk and as the frog
began to swim off naturally big old bass
could not resist the temptation. Another
Of Turing bass with grasshopper tied
viii thread around hook. and still an
other of using goldfish when bass wouldn't
look at anything else. And Of queer bats,
think of taking a twenty-nine pound pike
on a clam shell used asa trolling spoon,
and shoe horn employed in like man
ner in an emergency, that lured three
muskies weighing from eleven to sixteen
pounds, thus saving them from watery
graves.
Fishing, Tackle and Kits, like its prede-
cessor, Lake and Stream Game Fishes, Il
a practical book for the angler, and while
instructive is entertaining. Any man who
likes to fish will find in it much that will
be useful to him, and for the person who
desires to know of the habits Of fresh
water game fishes and how to lure them
In a sportsmanhke way, Fishing, Tackl.
and Kits will tell him.

Tales of the A. E. F.

N LEAANDER WOOLLCOTT left his
4 N job Of reviewing plays for the
New York Times ana went to France to
be a soldier. But as it happened, and
although he wore an enlisted mans uni
form with sergeant's chevrons on his
sleeve, he became correspondent at the
front for that king of all "trench papers,"
the Stars and Stripes. As he puts it in
the introduction to The Command Is For
yard, he "drew, as it turned out, a re-
served seat at the war" Woollcott thus
went up and down behind the lines Of
the western front writing what newspaper
mea call "human interest stories" for the
official organ of the men of the American
Expeditionary Force.
One of these sketches called Scotty,
who "died on his gum" was used in
full page advertisement for the Victory
Loan last year and brought tears to the
eyes Of thousands of readers. That and
thirty-four others of Woollcott's stories
have been gathered together out Of the
pages Of the Stars and Stripes and
brought out in book form dnder the mar
tial and inspiring title The Command Ia
Forsoard, the title of its tragicaIly beauh-
full and noble opening incident.
Our participation in the great war has
brought out more important books than
this; but we have read none so pro-
foundly moving, none so charged with
that spirit Of high resolve and great ac-
complishment of our soldiers, as this coll
lection Of tales and episodes. In these
pages one may live over again those stir
ring days from July is, 1918, through
November 6, when the American troops
achieved the objective that Gen. Pershing
said was the greatest event of the war, the
taking of Sedan.
One may read in history hereafter the
story Of the great war as cold abstrac-
ton. In these pages lives again the
heroism, the sacrifices, the good humored
gallantry Of our soldiers. Let those who
are trying to tear down the glorious record
our officers and men made on the fields Of
France but read these tales once and then
may they stand ashamed before the world
for their ignoble work.
Fine must be the monument indeed that
for moving, human beauty will surpass
the memorial Mr.. Woollcott has created
hero Of the work Of the officers and sol
diers Of the United States in the great
war.
