MARGARET WLDDEMER HAS
WRITTEN A GREAT BOOK
SThe Board,Ualk Is Collection of Short Stories That VIII
Compare Favorably With the Best in the Language

from the youth-her father it appears
later had not allowed her to see the let
ters he had written-she withdraws
into herself and resolves never again to
do anything which will attract the at
tention of either men or women to her.
And this continues till she is thirty. Her
charm has disappeared, deliberately
stifled because of the great shame which
her father had brought upon her. Then
by chance some friends find her and
bring her and her old lover together. He
has not married and has not forgotten
her. After the meeting he told his
friends that it was not the girl herself
to whom they had introduced him, but
her ghost. Then he learns something
of what had happened to her, and in a
fine spirit of chivalry he decides he must
marry her. He does not love her. for
she is not now such a creature as would
arouse the love of any man, but he
makes the offer of marriage. The girl
does not see how perfunctory it is, but
her old youth slowly comes back to her.
The imprisoned spirit, whose entrance
made it seem as if a new light had been
turned on, slowly emerges and the love
which stirred the boy leaps to life in the
mans heart and there is a happy end
ing AS study of an innocent, sensi
tive feminine heart this tale is a
marvellous pieqe of work. 1t compels
respect for Miss Widdemer's art.
Mention should also be made of "Oh,
Mr.. Dream man," another study of a
thwarted emotion. 1t is about a young
woman born to be a wife and mother,
who through poverty is compelled to
+earn her own living and to support an
invalid sister. She has always been so
busy with work and so absorbed in it.
because it was necessary if she was not
to starve, that she has never cultivated
the graces that attract men. But her
heart yearns for love, and to console
herself she creates a dream lover with
whom she has imaginary conversations
that comfort her. The theme is worked
out with n delicate and understanding
sympathy that moves one almost to
tears.
The book will place Miss Widdemer
in the ranks of those fiction writers
whose works must be read by every one
who wishes to keep in touch with the
best that is being produced in America
today.

1s2o's FIRST BIG NOVEL

IN a Locke novel there is always
II some one to love. This time il Is
John Baltazar--the man who came
back. Because of the love of woman,
John Baltazar lived for twenty years
--self-exiled-in a FOOLS paradise far
from the world of men, and awoke one
day to find civilization with its back
to the wall, the land he loved afame
with patriotism, old passions forgot
ten, old landmarks swept away, the
girl he loved a nurse, son he had
not known the wearer of hero's
cross, men in multitudes following
ideals across colossal fields of agony.
How he redeemed himself, threw his
mighty personality into every slight
est niche of service until his country
turned to him with new hope-how
John Baltazar came back-that is a
big story, perhaps the biggest and
most lovable story Mr.. Locke has yet
written.

american Men and Women
Who Forwarded Civilization

Charles Morris, author of the
Heroes series, which for a num-
ber of years has provided stimulation
and inspiration for American boys and
girls through the records of notable
careers that have advanced our national
history and culture and that have made
significant contributions to civilization,
has revised enlarged and brought to
date several of these interesting vol
tines.
Just from the press is "Heroes Of
Progress in America. The figures in
this book are not heroic in the sense OF
military achievement or glory, but they.
too. have advanced the flag to higher
attitudes of civilization and progress,
Mr.. Morris has narrated the life
stories of the more prominent men VINO
have opened up new paths of progress
in America. The tale of each is one of
service, heroism and sacrihc. From
Roger Williams, pioneer OF religious
liberty in America, the author leads
through the inspiring life work of Ben
iamin Franklin, Eli Whitney, Elias
Howe. Susan B. Anthony, Clara Bar
ton. down to the modern wizard,
Thomas Edison. and Theodore Roose-
welt. Their careers, and those OF many
lesser stars of progress, attain heroic
proportions by virtue of the aid they
have given to the progress of mankind: :
This book traverses the high roads OF
craftsmanship, of invention, OF sclentihc
research, of benevolent activity OF moral
earnestness. For ages heroes of prog
ress have planted the banner of
achievement on higher attitudes than
those usually reached by the pathway
Of the sword. The book reviews many
paths of progress, as varied as the in
spiring lives that trod them. e..
Mr.. Morris writes in a graphic, Wig
orous style, which confers interest on
his purely informative as well as his
more active passages. His book is lib
orally illustrated.

HEROES OF PROGRESS FOR THE YOUNGSTERS
Fairy and Other Volumes for
Winter Reading

Frances Jenkins Olcott has gathered
together much treasure of fair gold,
nature legend and folklore in the trove
which she names "The Wonder Gar
den." Miss Olcott is a past mistress at
ferreting out the unusual, the appealing
and the interesting in literature for
young readers and in skilled and fas-
cinating retelling of the stories. Her
Book of Elves and Fairies has been
delight for young readers for several
years and her newest offering is every
bit as good. Nature myths are the basis
of the more than 100 stories collected
in the, new volume. Miss Olcott has
searched the literatures of many lands
for the elemental stories explaining
natural phenomena in terms of folk
lore and legend and these she has in
terspersed with selections from more
literary or sophisticated sources. The
stories are adapted for reading aloud
to the wee folks and also for reading by
those who are grown up enough to
peruse print. There is variety of
material to suit all ages up to ten or
so. Milo Winter has prettily illus
trated the book in colors
Carolyn Wells, of the many an
thologies, is the editor of an interesting
new edition Of the rhymes ascribed to
Mrs. Elizabeth Goose, the pre- revolu
tionary Bostonian dame, though her
authorship of these favorites of child
hood is disputed by the iconoclastic
critics. Sidney Homer the well known
American composer. has set some of the
most tuneful, metrically speaking, TO
melodies. Quaint pictures in colors are
supplied by Edith Wilson.
For older boys is "Opening the Iron
Trail" by Edwin L. Sabin. This book
is in celebration of the semicentennial
of the completion of the first cross :
continent railway from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. 1t was in 1860 that the
last rails of the Union Pacific We're laid
near Ogden. Utah and connection made
with the Central Pacific. Mr.. Sabip
describes in his well known graphic style
the adventure of two lads who were
workers on the "U. Pay" in the days
when the line was being built Their
personal adventures are lively and tied
up with the difficulties and obstacles
surmounted in completing the great
engineering feat
