DOM BYRNE'S MAGIC

the same magic that filed his earlier

creation of sheer glamour there are few
living authors writing In the English

The story starts with Shane Camp.

DENHAM'S MEMOIRS
OF THE MEMORABLE

Sir james Denham, who ha, been 80
fortunate as to know many Of the great
OF his time. has written book of recol
lections full of intimate gossip, which
he calls memoirs of the Memorable
George II. Doran Company. Among
the men about whom he writes are Dis
raeli, Gladstone, Swlnourne, Browning,
Kitchener, Sir Henry Irving, the EN-
press Eugene and King Charles of Ru
mania.
He spent some time in Rome in his
youth and he became acquainted there
with w. W. Story and his family. He
knew the sons, Julian and Waldo, and
went shooting on the Campagna with
Waldo, who paid hundred pounds a
year tribute to the brigands for immu :
nifty, on his hunting trips. Mules were
used as mounts. Sir James tells that
on one of the trips he named his mule
Browning "because it was not always
could quite fathom his intentions" >"
and Waldo's mule was named Swim =
burne because it frequently went
further than was discreet"
These quotations show the spirit of
the man. who writes his memoirs in n
spirit which Is at once informed and
tolerant. The book Is one which will
relax a tired man who wishes to listen
to gossip about his acquaintarices by an
Englishman who has known a number Of
the distinguished Of the earth.

THE SPEAKABLE TURK
Zia Bey Says Something in
Speaking of the Turks

Few voices, either of interest or au.
th0rity. have been raised to give the
side Of the Turk in the Near Eas,
maelstrom. Therefore the Unspeakable
Turk has become a fixed figure in the
general mind. It is the Ottoman's side
of his home life, of his ideals and OF
what he terms his persecution by Chris
tian peoples, that Mufty -Zade X. Zia
lSey has written in Speaking of the
Turks (Dufield Company.
This Turk, the son of former Turk
ish Ambassador to the Court of st.
James, appears rather in the role Of q
nrot9gonist than Of q propagandist.
His little volume would be noteworthy
as striking, picture of Oriental life,
even, with the accepted motive, ono
which Iia Bey makes no effort to con.
ceal. His argument Is that the Turks
are not as black as they have been
painted: that much Of the gore of mas
sacres has been manufactured by self.
seeking relief workers and that as far
as relief itself goes, the Turks have
been permitted to suffer misery untold
without aid, even as compared to the
admitted tribulations of the Greeks and
Armenians.
For the Greeks, Armcnians and
Levantines, Zia Bey has little or no
use. His premise is that the Turks
want to make progress, that they are
gradually accepting "westernizution, "
but that 1t must be gradual and not
enforced. However, little of political
augmentation marks the book and
there it's chief beauty lies.
The author narratics his return to
Constantinople, after two years abb
sence, with his bride, an American girl
from New Orleans. He pictures the
beauty of Constantinople as it was re-
vealed to him and shown to her for
the first time. To STEAMBOAT, to Pera,
at Erenkuey they go and the home life
of the high caste Turk is revealed.
The harem is shown, not rs place of
debauchery but as the real gathering
place of the family clan.
The Turk is certainly not lily white.
But he deserves hearing and he hardly
could find more persuasive or inter-
esting minstrel than this author. Incl
dentally Zia Bey makes a plea for some
American novelist of attainments to 90
to Turkey, imbibe its atmosphere, learn
its customs and then give its message
to this country. as Lott did In France.

OLD FICTION FRIENDS
But Stewart Edward White Puts
Them in Novel Situations

The author who attempts to ram a
romance down the throat Of his reader
as something portentous and gravely
important has lost half the battle
before he spoils the first iuch of his
typewriter ribbon. Stewart Edward
White has different idea. His tongue
Is in his cheek when he starts out and
as he blithely unfolds his little story
he has his reader galloping gaily along,
chuckling ut the, worthwhile humor,
recognizing friendly characters in
every chapter. And then, just when
every one is in complacent mood Mr..
White turns the spigot of philosophy
but so gently that the stream of good
advice does not clog the creek Of
enjoyment.
This is his treatment in "On Tip
Toe" (Doran), which is slightly DIFF
ferent story, different in that it has
all the time-tried attributes of the
ordinary romance--the Beautiful Girl
the Hero who can do no wrong
the Grouchy Parent--the Villain-and
the Comedy Butler whose heart is
True as Gold. Not forgetting the
dogs, the Hero Dog. and the swapping,
sniveling puppy, who turns out all right
in the end.
The Hero comes to the rescue Of the
Beautiful Heroine. her Dad and the
Villain In California woods. Mr..
Hero proves to be the right man In
the right place and gets the party out
Of lots of scrapes. He is an inventor
as we'll and has chance to make
millions, but the general public would
suffer. Now what should he do?
OF course the reader knows and 20
does Mr.. White and it would be unfair
to the author to let any one in on his
secret when the proper way is to take
'On Tip Toe" and spend an evening
in Just that mental state.
