Threads" BY Frank Stayton. With
frontispice. New York City: The
Century Co., 353 Fourth avenue.
Price, s1.90, net.
To a man released from Jail after
a confinement OF fifteen years there
necessarily must be many threads to
pick up when he again enters upon
the affairs of daily life, and the pro-
cess proved a puzzling task to John
Osborn Wynn, the leading character
of this story. He had been uniustIy
convicted for a murder committed by
another, and all a gracious govern
ment could do, on learning the truth,
was to restore him TO freedom.
But fifteen years had made changes
in public as well as private affairs.
and he found IL difficult to accommo-
date himself to them. Two children
had grown up and his daughter had
suitor. His younger son had been
born after his incarceration began.
The country, when he emerged from,
jail, was in the third year OF the
great war. No wonder the situatio /
was bewidering TO him.
How he grappled with this situa-
ton and gradually picked up the lost
threads is told in the form Of most
interesting story. His greatest
trouble was with his wife, whom he
still fondly loved, and who still loved
him, although he did not know this.
and naturally expected that her love
had waned. And so he treated her
with such undue consideration that
she feared he no longer loved her and
was merely endesvoring to make their
new relations as easy TO her as pos
sibie. But, fortunately. fatal mis-
understandings were averted, and the
story ends with husband and wife

nance. BY Sumner G. Britton. IL
lustrated. New York City: World
Syndicate Co, 10 West Fortieth
street Price, s1.75, net.
Dreamy Hollow" despite the sopo-
rife intonation OF the title, lis a story
OF action throughout, OF plot and re-
sistance, OF desperate efforts at wrong
doing, but of complete triumph OF law
and order, of right, and of love. Its
interest never flags.
The leading character is a rich and
successful business man, who desires
to retire and enjoy the pleasures of
the splendid house he has built and
named Dreamy Hollow. Also, TO conf
mune with the memory of the dear
woman who would have been his wife
had not death intervened. And he
communed with her spirit, which gave
him warning of impending danger.
The danger came from one of his
business partners, whom he at first
regarded as his successor. But this
man was a crook and a schemer, and
his schemes were directed against Sc
curing the wealth OF his patron and
full control OF his business. But In
the end he failed, thanks to the skill
of a great detective. friend OF the
owner OF Dreamy Hollow.
There is a fine romance running
through this story, and although IL
has it's troubles, II ends happily.
So, with the elements OF big busi-
ness, adventure, mystery, intrigue,
danger, secret service and love,
Dreamy Hollow presents to the lover
Of fiction an attractive and most salts
flying season of enjoyment.

@The Crystal Heart" BY Phyllis
Bottome, author of The Dark
Tower" etc. Frontispiece by Il. u.
Van Buren, and pen-and-ink sketches
by Norman Price. New York City:
The Century Co. 353 Fourth avenue.
Price, $3.50, net.
Miss Bottome's fearless grasp or
life and delicately certain craftsman
ship has never been devoted to the
work Of presenting such a poignantly
heart-reaching story. There is prob
ably no lovelier heroine in all fiction
than Joy, and few more fascinating
first chapters than those which admit
the reader to the delectable land of
Joys childhood. The child Joy and
the sweet woman Joy of the crystal
heart, to whom all is simple, pellucid
truth, undertaking honor, unquestion-
| ing goodness. is one the reader is con-
strained TO love from first page to last
| Pictures of interesting, strongly
marked people impose themselves
upon the reader. Nicholas, the boy
| lover and his little comrade with fly
/ ing hair galloping across sun-fioodeo
spaces; little Rosemary, the sister tC
whom Joy gives some years of heI
life with passionate devotion; madly
plucky Julia, who fights her Shiny
dragon point device with all the trap
pings of chivalrous courage; the
egregious owen; Mrs. Featherstone
most remarkable of mothers; all these
and the lesser characters with them
are of a quality to command respect
| for their creator.
Certain phases of English life are
pictured with meticulous perfection
but this is in no sense novel OF
manners; it is with the intimate prob
lens, passions, needs and valiancies OF
individuals that the author deals
and with power.
A remarkable novel, and one that i!
likely, for all it is so finely thought
and so excellently well done, to caus,
discussion and it may we'll be some re
sentiment.
