 Fiction.
 BABBITT by Sinclair Lewis.
 Sinclair Lewis has won again in Rabbit, at every point better novel than Main street. Humorous, sometimes mordantly so. sometimes genialiy, pentratingly aware both of his background and his characters, this novelist of American manners has written satire of the American business man."
 CHARLES REX by Ethel M. Dell
 Miss Dell's latest novel will be no disappointment to those who have already enjoyed her earlier ones. It Is story that moves swiftly and is replete with romance and adven- ture."
 FLOWING GOLD by Rex Beach.
 "A romantic story laid in the new klondike of the Texas oil fields dur ing the boom that followed the war, and the fierce struggle for flowing gold the oil that gushes from sub terranean reservoirs"
  FOURSQUARE by Grace S. Rich mond. THE JUDGE by Rebecca West.
 The Judge is a romantic novel, born of a mind which, while it is capable of seeing both ways, likes rather less to see things as the mot tied mixture they are than as the fine things they can be imagined into being. The characters that count in The Judge are beautiful, within as we'll as without."-New Republic. ONE THING IS CERTAIN by Sophie
 Kerr.
 VAN ROOM by J. c. Snaith.
 The story relates the finding of lost masterpiece of painting and the mingled web of intrigue, deceit, etc, which resulted from this discovery, takes place in a dingy antique shop in London. It is thoroughly good story, exciting with the interest ascending in a steady cresendo."
