THE PARTS MEN pLAY. BY A.. Beverly

ANE has . confused sense that The

sort Of an affinity With Why Women

A. Beverly Baxter CAppletop) turns out
20 be 8 serious and respectable English
war novel. 1t is at this date difficult 10
pretend to any show Of enthusiasm
about a novel which begins with q pom
dcrously satirical picture of English
society before The war and which fin
i.hes With the regeneration of every
ono through the war. The Parts Mon
Play is written in a workmanlike man
ner, and if We were familiar with Eng
lish society we might say that the
types it draws are true to life. As Il
is, we feel sure this must be so, be
cause we have me- them in al least
twenty other English novels, and the
Confederation ~ overwhelming.
It's single complication is an Amcri-
can hero, who finds himself a neutral
IN England at the outbreak Of the war.
When he points OFT to the feminist
heroine the opportunity she has be

? 0 DESCEND the Green and
Colorado rivers from Wyo-
ming TO Mexico in rowboats is
about as p%erilous a feat of ex-
ploration as could we'll be undertaken.
Milking its way for much of the dis
tance through gloomy, oyerhanging
canyons, the stream is full of eddying
w'hirlpools, treacherous rocks and tur-
bulent rapids. There are a thousa-d
ways in which a man may lose h IS life
IN essaying the navigation of the Col
orado. In fact, most of the adventure S
who have attempted to sail down the
rivcr have lost their lives in the jour
ney.
Ellsworth L. KoIb and his brother
Emery successfully accomplished this
pcli!ous journey; and the record of
their rich and varied expericnces is
set down at once so simply and SO
clearly that it should rank among the
travel epics Of Our literature. The
publishers are certainly iustitjcd in

worried about the evcr-increas'Ag in

Geaf ears, as the Italian reading
public in central and southern Italy
frankly admit that French books are
much mere amusing than Italian ones,
especially the books OF this year,
Unfortunately, there is not s recip-
rocal feellng ABOUT italian books in
France, as they have never been a
great success, with the exception Of
the romance of Manzoni, "The

Pie we'll known Fonazsaro, GRAZ Del

tho n BEL prize; Mathilde Se~rao or
Luciano Zucceli are all practically un-
known and unread in France. For t.ais
reason Italian publishers are c~lanTor-
ing for the impositi n Of a special tax
to be levied on French books. No
doubt they would be read more than
ever, as the present Italian rcading
public goes in keenly for books which
are very expensive.
In spite OF these complaints, the
publishing business must pay here, as
almost every month a new publishing

but in Naples, Milan and Florence.

Who attained popularity abroad were

italians usually spent the day in the
free libraries reading whatever books
they desired, foreigners kept the book
trade going, being the only willing VIC

Even though the price Of paper is
