PRINCESS. By Princess Catherine
Radziwill. author of Behind the
Veil at the Russian Court, etc.
illustrated. New York: John Lane
Company.
cretly, everybody adores it. And the
common passion for scandal mounts
in geometric progression with the
social status of offenders. Drab DO

neighborhood-man. woman and child.
Social lapses in high life send thrills
up and down the spine of country or
continent The author of this book
of tattle is a prime gossiper Ihe
theme is a capital one. And, by the
way. the author is a man-despite
the writing name. A point for women
to gather in gleefully as evidence In
a ques stion of general contention. Inc
story is of familiar pattern-that OF
TO an odious prince But right here
the matter moves squarely into the
intimate corners of the general read
er's interest. For this princess is
none other than the he :. ex-croWn priha m
ex-kaiser's oldest son. Therefore. the
story covers one of the latest chap
ters on the recent court life of Ber-
lin. 1t is completely frank dis
closure: one that revels in personali-
ties. digs into private feelings, ex-
hibits family differences. takes sides
with the lady as a good gentleman
should, and kicks the ex-prince about
in a whole hearted enjoyment of the
proceeding One judges that he is
pretty nearly right about it, on the
whole. The fitness of the writer for
this kind of work. coupled with the
essential appeal Of the subject itself,
makes this book for us scandal
lovers to eat up at a single meal.
The MAXIM O. JOE. By Louis Mat

an advertised job in a grocery store
and is recognized and so cruelty re-
viled by a man present that fight
ing parson, who happens to be stand
ing alongside, considers it in his line
of duty to knock the man down
which begins the story. It is told
with humorous kindliness favored
with the zest of criticism. where
criticism is due, by a Grand Army
man who works at odd jobs all year
to rise to patriotic Importance as
commander of the post on Decora-

Coming out from this study, ones
first impression is that the authors
have lived up to their intention of
offering practical assistance in the di

SNAPSHOTS OF THE WILD. Bv F.

ST. Mars, author of "On Natures
Trail" illustrated by G. Vernon
Stokes. Philadelphia: J. E. Lippin-
cott Company.
This is a monthly record running
throughout the year, of the adven-
lures that any one may have, pro-
vided only that he have in his heart
a true love for the animal folks. 1t
is, in fact, an account of the adven-
lures that this writer really did have.
Mr.. ST Mars believes that the other
animals-those that we so pridefully
call the lower animalS-are, after all,
pretty much like US. prodigiously en-
gagged in getting food enough to keep
body and soul together. and in find
ing places to get into out of the
weather. Like US, too, they become
frenzied over the matter of mates,
playing up, like US again. to the de-
mands of a progeny-mined Madame

else must if he knows man and beast

family matters and their neighbor-
hood policies about as he would the
haracteristics of the Browns and the
Smiths of the human family. And the
man can tell story. Actions come
along in a fine furry of pressing i'm
portance, words slip into place with
practiced ease. pictures grow under
his dextrous hand, and the whole
to-do sets one off in another new reso-
luton about brushing up old intima-
cies with these fascinating neigh
bors. A very delightful little book
one begins to wonder if "F. st.
