A FLOWER OF MONTERREY. By Kath
erIno p. Hamill. Published by the Page
Company. $3.50.
THIS is q story OF the early Califor-
MIA of the days Of Spanish rule. 1t
has the atm osplere of the eighteenth
century that still clings to the pictur-
esquc old missions Of Monterey and San
Gabriel. It's author, Katherine Hamill,
has been fortunate in her selection Of
plot, which shc has unfolded sue
cessfully. There are passages OF doubt
full merit, but the main narrative is
we'll presented and much Of the book
is more than ordinary. The pretty
Pajarito, "fower Of Monterey" is
an American girl dropped from ship
on California shores, to be adopted
into the home of Spanish governor.
The book is vivid with the color OF this
sunny cline ut colorful period, when
mission bells chimed the Church's au-
thoyity and lace mantillas dominated
the dress of the women.

but the whole action leads inevitably
to just one compelling episode. What
comes before or what goes after ap-
pears to US to be of little moment.
On the other hand, in Erik Dorm"
the author at least conveys the idea
t. the reader that he is earnestly
striving to get a definite message
across. This message may, at times,
seem obscure and incoherently pro-
jected, but no one can question Mr.
Hecht's sincere belief that he has
something important to say. The
message itself may be nothing more

echo as the only immediate response,
, but who can tell how far that cry may
eventually reach? AS to Dorm S

Such figures As these, with a wealth
OF illuminating description and cx-

their compelling suggestions to the
imagination, crowd the pages Of these
two big octave volumes. In some cases
the story is not gratifying; there was
too much delay. too much blundering.
IN others there is just cause for pride
not alone at tho magnitude Of the un-
dertakings, but also-we should say,
s1'il r'ore-at the superiority Of Amer
lcan inventive skill 10 that Of the
enemy. Consider, for example. the
navy Gun--they were navy guns which
were TO be made at Neville Island. The
FIRST noteworthy use os big naval guns
on land and far inland was, wo believe,
IN the Boer War. Then the old saving
about the futility Of war between a
tiger and shark was discredited. for
the shark came ashore and vanouished
the tiger. Well, in the World War the
navy gun, away inland, ranked with the
aircraft and the tanks among the de-
cisive elements. Praises be, too. it was
the American navy gun that did the
mighty trick. Let our authors tell the
dramatic story In their own words

which set the whole world a-buzzine

A Surprise
But the day was to come when the

prise. That day vas September s, 1918.
Tergncr was an important railroad
junction within the German lines. The
town was being hard pressed by the
Allies, but it still lay comfortably back
out Of range Of the biggest field guns
which the Allies had produced during
the war. The German troops we're
huslly switching cars in the yards at
lergnier when, all unheralded, came a
shell into their midst, blowing cut a
crater into which they could have
tumbled a church. The enemy, without
debate, began at once to evacuate Ter
gnier. The shell had come from the
Iirst Of the American 1A-inch naval
guns TO get into action, which thus Won
its first engagement with single
SHOT
That shot was fired from a point
about twenty-five miles away. OF
course the range was short compared
with that Of the Big Bertha at Laon.
But far greater, in the other direction,
was the contrast in efficiency. The
German gun threw a she'll seventy
miles, but the shell weighed only 24O
pounds, and while it might kill few

model OF this sort which Is q great
Partisan success and made by Char
lotte, is developed in bright colOred
velvet with intricate handwork on the

shape of petals forms huge ruff.
Models Of the heavy, somewhat cum
bersome sort of overcapes sometimes
ending in long sleeves of the distinct
ly Renaissance types are being worn
In Paris, and copies have been sent TO

too eccentric to make any great ap-
peal. All such mantIes have very elab-
crate fur trimmings, the fur being
used In quantities
A successful blending of blue fox
which is called renard fume, is used
on many models of this sort. 1t Is an
excellent imitation of the natural blue
fox, there being an underlay of blue
gray fur like the skin of this some
what rare animal. The tips of the
long hairs are reddish brown.
