ILLUSTRATED EDITIONS
OF FAMOUS CLASSICS

Those who are In the habit Of read
ing an old book whenever a new one is
published do not have to depend on the
old editions of the old classics. The
books which have survived their first
popularity are continually reprinted.
Dodd, Mead & Co. have this fall
brought out three Of them. They are
Charles Rende's "The Cloister and the
Hearth" Scott's "Ivanhoe'' and Mel
ville's "Nloby Dick" Each is printed
in large type on good paper and illus
t,ated in color. The "Cloister' illus
trations by Evelyn Paul catch the
medieval spirit most satisfyingly. Row.
land Wheelwright. who has made the
pictures for "Ivanhoe, has painted in
different manner. but no has got the
spirit of the tale into his pictures. and
Mead Schacffer has drawn lot of
colorful sea pictures for "Moby Dick. "
Each Of these tales will be read long
after the best sellers Of the moment are
forgotten. 1t would be difficult to name
any book of last year that will be read
when as many years have passed as
have run their course since "The
Cloister and the Hearth" was written
to say nothing of "Ivanhoc."

THE CASE OF ROBIN.
Mrs. Burnett Carries the Story
of the Charming Girl to
a Happy End

Mrs. Frances Ilodgson Burnett has
made of "Robin" (F, A. Stokes Com
pany) the sequel to 1.-The Head of the
House Of Coombe," moving tale OF the
love of an innocent and nunlike girl.
Robin, it will be tecalled, was the
daughter OF the woman who lived In
"the little slice of n house. In May
fair, and was protected by the Marquis
Cf CoomJe. Her mother to her was
'the lady downstairs" whom She rarely
saw and who never pettcd her as
mothers usually fondle their children.
She had met Donnl Muir in her child
hood and had loved him, for he was the
first creature OF her own generation with
whom she had been allowed to play.
WheT she grew older she had been put
under the care Of the Duchess of Darte
by the Marquis. and in the Duchess
house had met Donal again after long
happy dream of her childhood.
''Robin" begins after this meeting.
1t tells the story of the love that grew
up between them, of their secret mar
riage just before Donal went to France
to fight the Germans, Of the report that
Donal had been killed ard of the droop-
ing Of the girl wife who could be in
terested in nothing, until she began to
dream Of her husband. Then she began
to prepare for her coming child and
to look into the future with hope.
The book is tender and understand :
ing study of the emotional life of an
innocent and pure minded girl tangled
in the web of life. 1t Is an exhibition
of that curious and still unexplained
phenomenon--the effect OF the mind on
I the body. The gentle and fragile spirit
that inhabited the body of Robin was
crushed by the tragedy that had over
taken 1t, and It was slowly fading out
| in life. Such things have happened and
| various forms of words have BEEN in
vented to explain them, but they are
inexplicable by any formula.
And the explanations of such dreams
MS those that Robin had Of her husband
! and his reassuring words to her In the
| dream do not explain. 1t Is called
| telepathy, but that does not mean any
thing. 1t is simply label applied to
mystery.
In the story Mrs. Burnett has once
more shown her faith in the goodness OF
humaT nature. that faith the exhibition
| Of which in all her novels has won her
the affectionate regard of n large circle
of readers. 1t makes the reading of her
books a refreshment after the cynicisnl
Of some Of the younger novelists. And
her happy ending Is a concession to the
desire of readers to be pleased rather
than harrowed.

AMERICANS BY CHOICE
A Wide and Broad Study Of
Alienage and Naturalization

| Americanization Is n currently much
employed term. one of the favorite VOC
ables Of the 100 per cent lung power
speakers on patriotic topics. Though
1t is especially favored by the profess
sional patrioteer, the word has serious
and sincere implications rs used by
earnest citizens who hope for and work
for the solidarity Of American institu-
tions. They have taken some of the
the intolerance. And one of the most
valuable and practical aids in the de-
velopment of real understanding of the
processes of transmitting alienage into
citizenship has been the "Americaniza =
tiOn Studies" Of which the Harpers
have just brought out n new volume,
Americans by Choice"
The author is John Palmer Gavit.
journalist and publicist for many years
managing editor of the New York Eve
ming Post and now vice president of
that company. In this book he has had
the advantage of help from public Off :
cials, volunteer compilers and research
workers of the Carnegie Institution.
DR.. Gavit's book is II first hand study
by an experienced student of the prob
lens of the naturalization and political
activities of the foreign born voter. The
reader follows the alien. who In the
happy phrase of the title becomes an
American by choice. from the day he
declares his inteAtion to apply for citi-
zenship to the day of his final admission
to active membership In the American
body polite and then on into his activi-
! ties and political development as an
American citizen. Methods and ma =
chinery Of naturalization are closely
scrutinized. the predispositions, tenn
permanent. hereditary impulses and later
environmental influences are exhibited,
and tho whole system Of alienage and
naturalization. is subjected to keen
analysis.
The book demonstrates its thesis by
large number Of carefully compiled
statistical tables. These and the OK.
planatory text refute the fallacious i'm =
preston that new immigrants do NOT
become citizens and show the legal tolls
through which candidates for citizen
ship must pass. together with sugees :
tions for Improvement of the system.
Americans by Choice" is a new and
wholly original contribution to the so :.
luton Of one of the greatest and most
perplexing problems Of American social
life.
The Characterization Studies, now
cover the foreign Language press,
schooling of the immigrant, the immi .
grant and the land, the alien q, n
! nomemaker amid new conditions. rho
adjustment Of immigration to industry
and other pertinent phases of n biz
national question. And they are COW
cred with sympathy, understanding md

THE Reign of Rubber" (The Century
Company, New York; does not SOUND
like an alluring title. In the parlance
of the movies 1t has no box once

of the book makes the reader suddenly
conscious Of the fact that he had never
realized what q vastly important thing
rubber Is in our daily lives and how
few of the comforts and even necessities
of our modern concept of civilization
would be possible without the assist,,
ance Of the sap Of the weeping tree.
William G. Geer, the author, Is vice
president of one of the biggest ruoper
companies in the world and tells n,s
it from a clear headed, hard listed
successful man Of big business. Rub.
her has evidently been to him the most
interesting thing in the world, but MS
interest in it has not been narrowing !;
on the contrary, he has followed II

chemistry, thn construction .of ma
chinery, the production and treatment
Of its two most important necessities

tories Of these constituents and a vis-
ion Of their possibilities for the fu'

west as it is in life, not on fil-lums.

does not strive after atmosphere as an

the atmosphere is always present as
background and environment. And de-
cidedly it is rich, but not obtrusive,
in this wilderness community of Plym-

generation, but far from the Plymouth
Rock conscience and austerity in the
present.

1t adds another bright mark to Mrs.
