BOOKS

A new volume in the National His
toy of France series, published by G.
z. Putnam's Sons, to be issued next
week, is The Restoration and The
July Monarchy. 1t is by J. Lucas
Dubreton, the eminent historian, and
Librarian of the Bibliotheque de
LArsenal, Paris,) who is editing the
entire series.
"A Lantern in Her Hand" by Bess
Streeter Aldrich is story about
little girl, and then a sweetheart and
wife and mother, and then a very old
lady. All her life she dreamed
dreams.
"She would be rich and lovely
with a velvet dress and long sweep
ing plume under the moon
and the night wind that felt OF
your body with its long j.. slender
fingers that tapered at the ends
But instead she moved with her
husband and family to the wild prairie
lands of Nebraska. She saw a great,
hot prairie fire threaten her home,
she saw horde Of grasshoppers
swarm over the land and eat every
living blade, she helped name Cedar
town, and with little regret in her
eighty-year-old heart she saw "the
paved streets Of Cedartown lie primly
parallel over the obliterated tracks OF
the buffalo. The substantial buildings
of Cedartown stand smartly over the
dead ashes of Indian campfires."
Where literary genius and intellec.
tual brilliance are lacking, the reader
will find the warmth of sincere emo
ton in Bess Streeter Aldrich's story
Abbie Deal is "a born mother" and
as such she lacks the interesting quail.
tiles of selfishness and intolerance.
The rebel, reformer, or theorist
would find "A Lantern in Her Hand"
to be an idle tale, to be read, per.
haps to be laughed and cried over a
little, and then to be laid aside. The
theme is an old and worn one: "a
mother lives and dies In her children"
But in almost every mothers heart,
and perhaps In every child's, II will
strike a chord of sympathy and the
reading will have been worth while.
The d. Appleton and Company pub
fishes the book, and 1t has already
found great favor. The 'Tntroduc-
ton Of the story harks us back to
the days OF "Prologues" and the effect

Edith McAllister, ESOS 31st Ave
nue., has just been awarded her third
cash prize in the st. Nicholas League.
Her poem, which appears in the Sep
TENDER number of ST. Nicholas Maya
zine, is as follows:
WIND OF THE NIGHT
BY Edith MeAIlister (Age ~
The wind moves softly among the
stars
That she may not blow them out,
(Even so they fiutter wildly,
Like candles in a daught.)
She fingers in the Lilacs,
Mysterious with moonlight,
And whispers to the birch-trees.
How tall is she who rides the sky
Yet stoops to touch my hair,
With intimate, cool fingers.
Edith McAllister has already won
two prizes of gold and silver medals
in the league, as well as these cash
awards. This is a remarkable record
for seventeen-year-old contributor to
these monthly contests of st. Nicho-
las where the competition is so keen
and the number of competitors so
large.
