Night and Day

r. YOU are wiling to enroll for a
little semester with a novel written
without hurry, one that all through its
oo0 pages uncovers an almost uncanny
ability to diagram people through their
talk, we recommend Virginia Woolfs
Night and Day {Doran). This is a
novel OF one character limned against
the background of others. Katherine
Hiibery Is made, realized, on the same
stem as her family and friends, but shs
IS the dominant, the visible flower. It
would be interesting and diverting, az
a study IN comparative human values,
- take, say, three women from books
on the Doran shelves OF 1920, and bring
them together in one drawing room.
VIC have In mind Mrs. Woolf's Kath-
crime H,lbcry, r. r. Bensop's Queen
Lucia, and McKenns's Barbara Neavs.

Thrilling Mystery

THE year has not forgotten London
in the field of the mystery story.
In fact there have been a number Of
novels Of the picturesque and the un-
earthly that might have been given
space on this page. AS type of the
thing sheerly impossible, Sax Rohmer's
The Green Eyes Of Bast (McBride),
with its setting in the city and neigh
boring country, Is pretty nearly the
piece de resistance. Rohmcr has left
DR.. Flu Manchu to the evil Of his ways
and essaycd with success an out-and-
out riddle-story, with it's mysterious
woman with the eyes Of old Egypt, it's
murders through weird agencies, and
its sympathetic atmosphere obtained by
the introduction of shadowy houses in
wide estates, dark roads at night and
shrinking, shivering folk glancing ap-
prehensively into dark corners. A
curious effect is gained by sprinkling
this story with the holy water Of a
good old day, in the names "Coverley"
and addison" given to two Of its prime
figures.

Noel Cartons Strangeness


FTHE wanderings and stumbles OF a
mind astray should daunt any
writer Of fiction. They have no insur-
mountable hurdles for William Caine
who, in his The Strangencss of Noel
Carton (Putnam), has contributed to
the cohorts Of novels of 1920 one Of
their widest, weirdest members. This
is book that gradually drives one
into the swirl Of its mad maelstrom,
into the seethe of an intellect that has
lost all the bearings Of its original
self and become merged in the woes
and the hopes Of another being con-
jured up from the disordcred dreams
of its own sick mind. There Is pre-
cision in this book, in places Of Lon
don that occur and in milestones IN
the mental Journey of Noel Carton,
over to the apparition Nigel Carter,
that imbues this strange novel with a
power Of haunting reality. When one
closes this excursion into the land of
Dementia he is ready to jump the
nearest fence and clear for the hills
Of SANITY.

The Young Physician

TOSSED up from the welter Of books
Of the late war were a few
precious things In prose and poetry
that strengthened the positions of q
dozen or so of pre-war writers and evil
denced the arrival Of young and new
authors. Among the latter was
Marching on Tanga, recognized in it's
day as among the elect of the books Of
the war. We wondered then If it's
author, Francis Brett Young, would
and could give US another book and
what its nature should be. He has
| given US a number, all good, genuinely
stamped with the personality Of man
who sits in the seat Of an accredited
interpreter.
The Young Physician (Dutton) is
Francis Brett Young's experience with
the career Of boy pilgrimaging to
manhood. We find Edwin Ingleby g
boy in an English public school. His
life at home has not equipped him with
an armor Of complacency or Of adapta
ton, and he suffers from the knock.
of his mates. His efforts to improvis.
a protection are crude and productiv,
OF unfortunate results. And so, throw
back upon the love of his mother ant
his own passion for the beautiful, tn,
enduring in poetry and prose, he begin
his adolcscent growth toward under
standing. Between the lad and hi
father there is hiatus of msunder
standing. The latter's material view
Of things, his Unconditional valuation o.

The Chidren's Great Texts OF the
Bible is q compilation Of different
order 1t is a collection of little talks
based upon Bible texts. As rule we
take it for granted that childrcn's read
ing must be stories. And IN general
this is true. The Chldren's Great
Texts of the Bible, edited by James
Hastings, is one of those rare works
for children, not stories, which will In
terest young people. TO be sure, little
stories are used to illustrate the texts
not preachy, goody-goody stories
out real stories which will serve to set
the texts in the child mind. Other de-
vices are used to hold the young per-
sons interest: bits of history, some
Of the Bible stories themselves, poems
and interesting incidents. The language
is simple and aightforward-sort of
man to man in attltudc-the way 81
child likes to be addressed. For parents
who believe in the Bible as a founda-
ton for their childrens education,
either moral or mental or both, this
set of books will be found peculiarly
adequate.
In addition every talk is perfectly
orthodox, but not bigoted, or sloppy,
or vague, as some religious attempts
for children have been in times past.
The texts begin with Genesis and
are carried through the Old and New
Testaments in the regular order Of the
books of the Bible. There are six vol
umes in the set, arranged thus: Vol.
I, Genesis to Joshua; Vol. II, Judges

4 Story for Girls

vas and Jean Wick Published by the
James A. McCann Company.
GTORIES Of the adventures Of college
girls appeal to girls who are not yet
started on their academic careers. Since
Patty Went to College was published we
have found few Of these with as much
fun and adventure as Pegs Freshman
by Christine Catrcvas and Jean Wick
Pegs real name is Margaret Elizabeth
Sutton Whiting. Brought up in luxury
and considerably spoiled. her real quail
ties have a chance to develop in the
small college she attends. The story is
New-York tribune., 1920-12-19

The rhyme is not without fault. 1t
would be considered far from perfect
as 4 ballad or even as a series of jim
giles. But it accomplishes the principal
idea for the little readers it is meant to
reach. They will not criticize the meter,
but they will want the story progressed
and Mr. Ransome's rhyme certainly
does that. The story is sinplifed and
still colored enough to keep it from
losing its old Arabian Nights glamour.
The real feature Of the book, however,
is its illustrations. Large color plates
are artistic and completely in the spirit
OF Aladdin. And black and white decora-
tions On eyory page aye nest attractive.

a NARRATIVE Of Gettysburg days is
4 - told IN John Baring's House by
Elsie Singmaster. 1t is an interesting
story we'll told, and with colorful
background. There is something of ad-
venture in the undertaking of Elizabeti,
Scott to make a living out of her grand
fathers place in Pennsylvania, where
the family has not lived since Civil War
days. There is mystery in the Difficult
ties she meets. And there is something
approaching heroism in the way in
which she faces and works out her
problems.

L "A (Lothorp, Lee & Shepard) is a very

The story opens with Adele celetjrat-

memory of trc surprise party Of year
ago that the club gave a lot OF. small
orphans. At her home they discover
Eva Bearman. Eve seemed different
from the other children at the party.
She had been brought up in a nice
home. Her father had lost his money,
and when he died and left his little
girl alone, people supposed she did not
have O relative in the world, and out
Of kindness had sent her TO the or
phanage. She was sent from the home
to live with Il family with whom she
did not seem very happy, and, in spite
of her efforts to be CHEEKY, the sky
seemed to hang over her in inky black
ness. Then, one day, just when she
felt as though the last ray Of sunshine
in her life was slipping away, an uncle,
who she thought was dead, comes and
takes her away to the West with him
