| By George Morgan Illustrated J. B.
 Lippncott Company, Publishers, Philadel- phia. The True I.aFayette" firis a need of the time What Lafayette did for the United States has been in the public mind since General Pershing's historic utter ance, and his name has been on the tip of the publc's tongue. Attention thus drawn to him is likely to remain con- centrated uponthim as embodying the link connecting the French republic with our own. He is talked about at meetings
 and dinners from one end of the country to the other.
 American books about LaFayette gre few and far between Towers important
 work covers his campaigns. Notwth- standing the great mas sof recorded
 facts relating to LaFayettes life. and the countless references to him in Eu- ropean as well as American history, there has hitherto been no authoritative work covering the whole of his career with the desired partlcularity This. is said due consideration of and respect for the older works
 This is the book you must have If you wish the entire story of the romantic career of one of freedoms greatest he- roes. It was one of the big moments of the great war when General Pershing. at the tomb of Lafayette. said: La Fayette. we are here" That utterance- those four wcrds-meant much to us and have meant great deal to the hard pressed French One meaning was that we were about to pay something Of our inextinguishable debt to France. Another meaning was that America, with its three millions, had enlisted in the very cause Lafayette had championed-human rights and the safeguarding of democ- racy. Thus, once more in the world Is history LaFayettes name became a word to conjure with. From beginning to end has was fife of action.

POLISHED EBONY.

By Octavus Roy Cohen. Illustrated.
 Dodd, Mead & Co., publishers, New
 York city
 Tn Polished Ebony" Mir Cohen has given to the public a new and rich humor; a. humor which provol<es smiles. then chuckles then hearty laughter
 lis portrayal of the modern southern society negro does not in any, way border on burlesque. He writes with sympathetic tolerant, understanding hand. Other writers have entertained the public with stories of the ante bel lum negro and the plantation darkey. It has fallen to MT. Cohen to give to the southern city negro of today his place in literature He has accom- plished his task with distinction and in- fectious good humor. His characters are live and vital. His stories are rich in laugh compelling situations, cleverly conceived plot, scintillatng dialogue and masterfully drawn character.
 The New York Times reviewer has said of Mr. -Cohep's Polish Ebony:y
 MT. Cohen's nine new short stories are all tales of the citified negro, Hy-. ing in one of those southern cities where the colored population has it's own moving picture houses, banks. hotel, ice cream parlors, and so on, Many of the characters appear in diff ferent stories. and the, servant prob lem as 1t exists in a good-szed city south of Mason and DixoD's line plays almost as hnportan nt a part as does the esta ablishment run by the policy king Jackson Ramsey. Several of the tales have decidedly ingenious plots, espe cially that one swhich tells about the adventures and tnigrations of the $l25 diamond ring. which was tn clone sign of affluence about the Nesbit menage,' and a guarantee of 'Elzeyir's social em inence' despite the fact that she took in washing. Housekeepers will read with sympathy of the wiles of the> colored janitor who made love to no less than four colored cooks, and lived on the fat of the land in consequence. while those who have been kept awaye through long nights by the howls of some one else's badly will have a fellow feeling for the suffering Moultries of 4 House Divided The book gives more or .leg gs detailed picture of the life of the col pred inhabitants of southern city. The coiored lawyer, Evans Chew. who always gave his clients an abundance of legal phraseoiogy for their money; Florian Siappey. the Beau Brummell of negro society; Blossom Frioieau. it's reighning beauty: Dr. Brutus Herring, the dentist: his friend and associate. pr. Elijah Atcherson. leading colored surgeon of the state and henpecked husband Sally Crouch. who ran the Cozy Home hotel. the Rev. Plato Tubb of the First African M. F.. church, and various belles and beaux, money lend CTS and money borrowers of darktown. provide Sufficient variety of social and pecuniary circumstances. The ereater part of the volume is. of course. written in negro dialect and those who enjoy tales of this, kind will no doubt fir.r- very amusing
