BOOK NOTES FROM THE LIBRARY

Sir Phillip Gibbs new novel,
Beauty and Nick" has been added
recently to the rent collection. This
is the story of an honest husband
reared youth and his brilliant, beau
tiful selfish mother, whose heart re-
spends to nothing but the low whis-
pers OF treasured check book.
Those who have enjoyed Frederick
j. O'Brien's white Shadows in the
South Sea-" (and this has been the
most popular book in the library
will delight in his Mystic Isles of
the South Seas" He brings to our
violent, learned and unlovely age
soft dreams OF an ocean paradise
The charm OF his writing lies in the
fact that he has the journalists in
stinct for the interesting thing and
che interesting person, wandering
sailors, petty officials, hotel keepers,
hard-drinking traders, runaway art
lists and Tatihian light o. loves peo-
| pie his pages with purple romance.
Most of US think of history only
in terms of the regards Of particular
! nations, races or periods. III. G..
Wells, in his Outline of History" has
a far bolder concephon-viewin all
human history as one whole. 1t is
emminently readable. great book
finely planned, we'll arranged, at
tractively illustrated, full of vivid
historical sketches and OF telling
raps upon the knuckles and noses Of
the great.
To pupils of political science no
living man stands less in need Of an
Introduction than James Bryce.
There is no scholar in the English
speaking world better equipped to
write with authority upon questions
of comparative government. At the
age OF ninety-three he now gives to
the world his mature reflections up
on the merits and faults Of twentieth
century democracy. His Modern
Democracies" is the most sensible
and lucid explanation of the subject
that has ever been published. The
shrewd observation, the quick and
effective strokes of description, the
deftness in picking out things that
really count-these questions are as
much in evidence here as they We're
in the "American Commonwealth
of thirty years ago.

MAKE USE OF
MEN BUT NEVER
TRUST THEM

Marcia Ventnor was told by her
dying mother to make use of men but
never trust them if she wished to get
along in the world
With such a startling bit of advice
from a parent, the most unusual kind
of story is developed in 1T Isn't Be
ing Done This Season in which
handsome Corinne Griffith will be
seen at the Colonial theatre today.
Marcia, soon after her mothers
death, exhausts her slender resources
and secures work as q rnannikin in a
fashionable modiste's shop for two
reasons: one is that she wears clothes
well and the other is that she hopes
there to meet some man who win pro-
vide her with what she seeks. She is
soon married and goes to Smyrna on
her wedding trip. She comes home
from the honeymoon a widow, mar
ries another man and he, too, takes
her to Smyrna.

view completes the regular bill. This
