Mystery, romance and adventure;
these we are promised by Roy Bridges
in his novel, 'Rogues' Haven (Apple-
ton, $1.75). 1t Is Of the days OF cooked
hats and buckled shoes, lace frills
and knee britches, on an old English
estate.
Another English story is Jane Aus
tens Love and Friendship, now
first printed from the original manu-
script by Stokes ($1.75) with, delight
full little pastel medallions inside the
covers by Charles E. Austen, OF q
dozen English sovereigns. Gilbert X.
Chesterton has written the preface.
II you have ever followed the des-
ert road-or longed to-you Will be
interested in the new book by Edna
Brush Perkins, The White Heart OF
Mojave" (Boni,$3). In it she tells how
she and Charlotte Hannas Jordan
crossed that great empty space the
map shows just east Of the Sierra Ne
vada range and the San Bernardino
mountains. Besides the map inside the
cover there are eight photographs
which they took enroute.
For change, suppose we read q
novel written by an English lord, Sir
Harry Johnston. 1.-THE Veneerings"

Perhaps you have already read "The
Gay-Dombeys". q have) or Mrs. War

Did the Right Thing. II so, you know
you will find very real human falk IN
this new story, in which he takes
some characters from Dickens "Our
Mutual Friend" and gives them some
up-to-date adventures In shady IL
nance.
I've already told you something
about Everyday Manners" the book
of etiquette for boys and girls made
up by the girls in Philadelphia
school (Macmillan) and illustrated by
clever silhouette drawings. 1t Is d.
vided into five parts, on manners at
home; in school; in public places: in
business and last word on self-c6h-
troll and courtesy.
I've also spoken Of Edward Bok's
story of his boyhood, "A Dutch Boys
Fifth Years after" (Scribner, S0c).
What a wonderful basis for character
formation he had In his Dutch parents
the father VINO made THE Island OF
Nightengales" out Of barren and
dangerous rock five miles off the
coast of Netherlands; and the mother
who raised thirteen happy-faced, we'll
brought-up children. A boy out Of such
a family might we'll become famous
for good and brave deeds-and he did.
"Bannertail" is a bright, little gray
squirrel about whom Ernest Tlomp-
son Seton tells in his new book
(Scribner, $2) with hundred Of the
vivacious and amusing pen and brush
drawings the author knows so we'll
how to make-quite half the pleasure
of his book.
The Dennison company has sent me
their six latest booklets (10c each) on
Sealing Wax Art, "How to make
Crepe Paper Flowers, Weaving With
Paper Rope, How to Make Paper
Costumes, "Tie Gala Book" and the
Christmas Book" There are taree
others I have not yet seen:
Tables and Covers" 1.-THE Bogie
Book, and How to Decorate Walls
Booths and Automobiles" They are
full of clever suggestions.
Both the title and author OF iris
tram Tupper's House Of Five Sw ords'
(DOran) sounds full of romantic pos
sihilities. know that cannot help
liking any book by o young man who
would write such dedication to ais
mother as this to Marie Fender Tup.
per:
She was unafraid.
She understood and loved
All things that grow.
And she was like nature
In her fearlessness and beauty
Beauty that in immutable.
And so, for me she lives
In nature,
In all that is beautiful,
In all the things that grow;
Still telling me to be unafraid.

shelf-Toter B. Kyne's "Cappy Kicks
Retires" Cosmopolitan but I shall
