each animal have all the protection
necessary. There are large shade
trees on the farm and accommoda-
tions that promise comfort and fresh
air In large quantities.
This is a rather Unusual plan. Local
organizations interested In the vel

had pitiful remnants OF neglected
pets brought TO theri--cases where
thoughtless owners had gone for va
cations and neglected to look out for
the dumb animals that gave them
pleasure during the winter months
by their companionship and clever
tricks The Animal Rescue League
has sent out a special plea TO owners
OF pets to provide for their animals at
this time. but there have been few
really appropriate accommodations
available. Every day one sees bewil-
dered- looking pussies smiling foriornly
az closed kitchen doors and tired little
dogs sitting in the sun at the end of
short ropes with only the care OF a
small boy in the neiEhhOrhood, who
brings them water and food when

George III. DOrah Company.
Word pictures and pen sketches
come together here in beautiful bit
of artistry. Their combined effect of
swift gayety of movement sets OF
genuine skill from the more common
crudities of gesture that are designed
to pass for skill. From Halifax to
Vancouver the cities of Canada pass
natural setting, historic rounding,
individual growth, personal char
acteristic and--over and above all
each stands i'll Its own intangible ts-
sence. in that elusive, but very real
and supreme thing that we call,
spirit" This last. this subtle eVo-
cation of the spirit of place, is, per-
haps, the high point of the studies.
Yet, substantial history coupled with
legend and old story and scenic back
ground, are the substance out of
which this subtle effect is produced.
A beautiful and communicable little
book with a distinct value quite its
own.
LANTY HANLON. BY Patrick McGill,
author, of "The Ratpit," etc. New
York: Harper & Bros.
Lanty Hanlon of Ballykeeran, the
grandest parish in west Ireland. And
this is L.anty Hanlon's story. Against
q background of Ballykeeran peasant
folks the career of this loyable, boast
ful, undepend6ble, eFrlng lrlShman
unfolds In perfect good faith to the
sod that bore him and to the blood
that controlled him.. Hardly can this
lie called career, embodied in u line
of action leading to some definite OBJ
ject and achievement. Rather is it a
series of pictures portraying Lanty
Haulon in his successive out-farings
upon one grandiose scheme or an-
other. But Lanty has one besetment
that, each time. lays him low. Every
day is a fresh beginning with this
buoyant son of Erin. No failure of
the day before ever obtrudes itself
upon his shining todays. And to the
peasantry roundabout, even in The face
of the damning facts, Lanty Hsnlon
is master man. Humor. that never
laughs, out loud but that, rather
smiles in kindly understanding mixed
with sympathy, goes along the ways
with thfs wholly beguiling son OF
man, A wonderfully appealing book
