HANDMADE FABLES"

I
 Publitlers, Garden City, N. K.
 The first book of Ade Fables in sev- eral years. Watch the glooms run to cover and the Vanities, American style, hang their heads Every story has a bright and shining point upon which some human foible of ours is transfixed. But it is irony that bricks without wounding, which recognizes that being sarcastic is very human foible itself. Of course, it proves again that Slang is fine art, and that humor distinctly be- longs to American literature. With the accompaniment of the drawings by Me- Cutcheon, it makes a gallery of Ameri- can portraits and genre pictures that no reader will want to miss.
 Of "Hand-Made Fables" the renowned Mir. M L. Mencken has said in his new book, "Prejudices:'
 What are the facts? The facts are that Ade is one of the few genuinely original literary craftsmen now in prac- tice among us; that he comes nearer to making literature than any, save scant half dozen of our current novelists; that the whole body of his work is as Ameri- can in cut and color in tang and savor, in structure and point of view as the work of Howells, E. w. Howe or Mark Twain Here is a startlinnly vivid and accurate evocation of the American sense-brilliant flashlike pictures of the American people and American ways of thinking-here the veritable American stands forth. Ade is touched by the divine fire; somenow, a great instructive artist got himself born out there on that lush Indiana farm. He has the rare fac ulty of seeing accurately, and he has the still rarer faculty of recording wildly, of making the thing seem to move with life.'

 Page & Co, publishers. Garden City,
 New York.
 New light is shed on the Presidents Mexican policy. making a genuine con- tribution to the history of the past eight years
 The Presidents first attitude toward the European struggle, supported by many who later turned against him, takes on new significance.
 The 1916 campaign receives the in depreciation which history must final- ly give 1t.
 The world leadership accorded Presi. dent Wilson at Versailles is carefully analysed in the light of many inside facts about this great international conference.
 MT Wilson has had more numerous and more complex problems than those presented for solution to any former President. Prof. Dodd gives an inter- pretation which will be new to many who have thus far had only the con flicting opinions of violent partisans to guide them.

THE GREAT IMPERsoNATIoN''

Brown & Co.. publishers, Boston.
 One of the very best stories that E. Phlllips Oppenheim has ever written, one of the most engaging, entertain- ing and thrilling, is "The GrSat Im- personation," a novel so full = charm and interest that once you pick it up it is almost impossible to put 1t down until you have reached the very end of the chapters.
 The question after you've read "The Great Impersonation" comes to mind:
 Could I take up another mans life and successfully impersonate him to his wife his family, his friends. his enemies. his acquaintances?
 This is the keynote of The Great Impersonation," written in MT. Oppen- heim's very best style.
 The story has to do with a certain Sir Everad Dominey, who leaves Eng land under suspicion of being mur- derer and after ten years of wander ing. turns up in German East Africa and is rescued from death in the jungle by the German commandant, Baron vor Ragastein. a former fellow-stu- dent at Oxford.
 Realizing that the remarkable re- semblance which existed between them during college days still persists, von Ragastein, who has been ordered to Lcndon by the lhelmstrasse. decides to send Dominey to certain death in the jungle assume his identity and enter London in the guise of Sir Ev- erard Dominey.
 Then follows a love story of charm and appeal a revelation of the German espionage system that thrills and anazes, and mystery that the reader will not solve until the end of the story

 "A SECRET OF THE SEA" By William Allison. Doubleday, Page & Co.,, Publishers, Garden City. N. Y.
 No living thing was on the ship-no sign of struggle. But as Manners en- tered the cabin he saw, looking at him from the case of still ticking watch on the dresser, the face of the woman he loved-and who had disappeared on the eve of their marriage. Should he re- main?
 But on his own ship there was his daughter and Knight, his secretary, get ting deeper into their impossible love affair. Here was Knights opportunity How he solves the double mystery, win hing Manners respect and consent makes a really absorbing story.
 Mir. Allison is a new writer With him the tales the thing, and this swift nov ing story proves it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-20

series of novels in which Mir. Phillpotts has set out to describe in living, dra- matic fashion the industrial life of Eng land. As he was previously imbedded in realistic romance the life and in- dustry of the quarrying of slate. the making of pottery, the growing and pick ing of hops, so here he evolves novel out of the lives and work of those en- gagged in the art of paper making.
 The central idea of the story Is the capricious action of a pretty but vain young woman who takes it into her head to imagine that she is not happy with her husband, although they are surprls- ingly we'll mated, and that she would be much happier as the wife of another and more intellectual man who had also courted her but had been rejected.
 There is much skill in the layout of the characters, of whom there is very great numebr, each of them highly, individual ized Most of them when they get chance, are inordinate takers and emit through, MT. Phillpott's pen, tiresome amount of unnecessary gabble. It is diff ficult to imagine real people anywhere of any sort of condition talking so many mere words and at such length as do most of these people at every opportunity MT Phillpotts would have done better to blue pencil most of their conversation with the greatest severity.
