Even in the tiny "all-in- a-row' porch rooms of stereotyped houses one should strive for certain mea- sure of originality and avoid the cheap and trite wicker lamps. the cheapest porch sets, says the Designer in an article on the porch in witer. One can at least choose table-bench. which can be bought unfinished in q department of kitchen furnishings two 'ladderback chairs. and hour glass and fine Windsor chair. and paint them. all soft midnight blue.

 "ROUGUES AND COMPANY" By Ida A. R. Wylie The John Lane
 Company Publishers. New York
 City.
 On the doorstep of London house late one night the police discover shabbily clad individual who can give no account of himself. As he is Ted away 10 the lock up an excited old gentleman rushes up to the officer exclaiming that his house has been broken into and his silver stolen. Upon hearing from the policeman the story of the strange capture he be- comes wildly excited, forgets all about his loss, and insists that the man be left in his charge as he is a psycho- o-analyst and wishes to study this strange case of lapse of memory Thereafter the unfortunate derelict goes through many phases: he is identified as a missing French count, he is claimed by a notorious burglar as a long lost brother, but, strangest of all. he is recognized by an attrac- tive young woman as her fiance and actually married to her. And then, as an indirect result of his first burglary attempt (drivenS.thereto by his so-called brother) he recovers his memory, remembers the incident that metamorphosed him from reputable citizen into a vagabond and returns to his normal life.

Mary Newton Stanard, whose opinion of this class of literature is undoubt- ed, says of the delightful collection of poems of MT. Valentines.
 Southern negroes brought up by "Ole Marster" and "Ole Mistis." and even descendants of these dear. dark folk who inherited their character, manners, speech and devotion to we alls white folks are rapidly becom- ing mere tradition, and with them is passing from the American scene something vital, something precious. Time never was when they could have been understood much less inter- preted by any not of the soil and to the manner born--by which is meant the white people who were associated with them in a relation unique then and impossible now whom they loved and served and who loved and served them.
 "The head of the house in the olden days was comrade, guide and example to his sons. To his servants he was the friend and protector who inspired loyalty He would have been earlier days an ideal "Ole Marster."
 In such an environment Benjamin Batcheldervalentine learned to Know by heart" the old time colored folk, anu III Ciu anu -OlIitT Verses" we have flawlessly repro duced it's terse and engaging phrase, its ingenious vocabulary; here are it's original whimsicalities and delightful aosurdities. &
 "SCARAMOUCHE' By Rafael Sabatinl. Houghton Milf
 lin Company Publishers, Boston.
 Here is a novel that will be read not only this year. but for many years to come,--a romance that will carry the reader spellbound through crowded days of glorious adventure and leave him with sense of hay- ing actually lived through the scenes so vividly described.
 The scene of ''Scaramouche" is laid in France in the years just before and during the Revolution. To avenge friend. the hero. Andre Louis Moreau. espouses the cause of the Revolution. Forced to flee for his life, he joins band of strolling players and takes the part of Scara- mouche, one of the stock characters of the French drama, whose roguer- ies, witticisms. and adventures fiji his own nature to perfection. His adventures, to their final happy end-, ing. are many and thrilling, and the story of his career Is a faithful and Illuminating picture of France dur ing the terror.
 Unlike most historical romances, "Scaramouche' is as vital as novel of today, because the characters, par ticularly the hero. are not mere painted figures, but living men and women, filled with the zest of TO- nance and adventure. There is prob ably no other author living who could reconstruct one of the most complex and vital periods, in all his- story--as Rafael Sabatini talready fa- nous as a historian) has done in "Scaramuche''--and weave from it a romance that will appeal not only to lovers of intrigue and adventure. but

 In 1t the compiler has interpreted the south In terms of the nation, both in the selection of the material and his editorial comment thereon.
