 M. Andre Tardieu. the author of esThe Truth About the Treaty" who fought as a captain In the trenches, rose to be clemenceau's right hand man during the closing month of the war, and all through the peace con ference. As high commissioner of Ffaace In the United States, as mem Der of the cabinet and as peace dele gate of the French republic, Andre Tardieu was one of the very few men who knew every detail of what was going on at the most thrilling hour of the worlds history. He was at once witness and an actor in the great drama.
 Hut while his book is the truth about the treaty, 1t Is more, for he tells of the causes leading up to the great conflict; he knows France and he knows Germany y--the two immedi- ate antagonists. And he tells with intimate authority of that glorious page iii history of which he himself was a moving part.
 There are five men who know the inside and all the facts of the peace treaty negotiations: Lloyd George who stood alone; Woodrow Wilson md his confidential adviser. Col. 10. M House; George Clemenceau and his confidential adviser, Andre Tar dieu. the author of this volume. < Col. E. M.

"A FLOWER oF MONTERREY By Katherine B. Hamill. Illustrated. The Page Company, Publishers, Boston.
 The wealth, beauty and sunshine of tic Calitornlas In the days when Spain controlled our western coast and England looked with covetous eyes, form the setting for this beau tiful and artistic romance by a new | author. Mrs. Hamill has recreated vividfy the little Spanish town where the mission bells rang sifvery at dawn. where scarlet uniforms flashed in the stately drill of an aft ernoon dress parade and beautiful women wore lace mantillas. Pajarita, the "Flower of Monterey" is an American waif. cast up by the sea. who grows up among the senors and senoritas, happy as the sunshine, but with healthy American disrespect i for the Spanish modes of life. Two men love her--Don Jose, the goberna- dor proprietaro of all the Califor- nias, and a young American sailor adyenturer, John Asterly.
 John Asterly. the hero of "A Flow CT of Monterey, came to the Call fornias from Boston. He Is perhaps 30 years old. adventurous and impet- uous.

"A TALE THAT IS ToLDp


 By Frederick Niven. George H. Do. ran Company. Publishers. New York City.
 Frederick Nlven, always original has produced In "A Tale That Is Told" novel that is at once more serious and more successful than anything he has yet undertaken. He has found his inspiration in the characters Of successful clergyman and his brilliantly individualized family, whose careers he portrays with delightful mingling of realism and romance.
 He is versatile and Is not con tent to repeat the same kinh of book over and over again. He Ias given us one of the best realistic novels of the time, two most romatic stories and novel quite unlike any other in the English language. There is enough fun and beauty and sheer happy story telling In MT.

of q stormy scene between the hus- band and wife the evening before.
 Miss Wells shows her character istic skill in compromising situations. Weaving strong fabric of circum- stantial evidence, which, at times, ap- pears very discriminating to several of the characters in turn, tue reader is led, fascinated and wondering, through the events following the au- topsy. The portrayal of the various characters and their behavior under suspicion Is very interesting. It de- Velops that there are several persons who might have had motives for the murder-if murder 1t was--but only the beautiful young wife who had both motive and opportunity. The friends of the pair know they loved each other and refuse to believe her guilty, though her frequent exhlbI- tions of terrible temper and her pug zling attitude on several occasions strengthen the detectives suspicious. , The reader Is glad to see Mss Wells winning card-Fleming Stone called in to clear the mystery. We know him of old and he fully jusu- fies our confidence in this story. The indispensable Fisby is, of course, an untiring assistant. Aunt Abbys er- ratio ideas prove important and the title of the book develops as the real clue. The reader is surprised at tho identity of the criminal who is speedily brought to justice, while the consummation of pretty love affair between two of the prominent char acters results In happiness and satis- faction all the way around.

peated in larger doses when nee
