In Jier BOOK OK AMERICAN WARS, published by The v.vnuiry v.ompany, site tells the story or our campaigns: from uoioniai days down to the present, with jut enough of the history of other I countries to furnish the necessary bnckgtound. It is a stirring record, graphically traced, by a writer with a gift for disentangling the i essential and of putting It before us in vivid, flowing narrative. THE CHILDREN 01' FRANCE AND THE RED CROSS, from the press of Frederick A. Stokes Company, is a delightful book. It is made up from the letters of June Richardson Lucas, who 1 worked for nearly a year in France with her husband, the chief of the American Red Cioss Children's Hurenu, among the babies of the ' 1 devastated regions who weie returned ftom captivity by the Germans. These nre, assuredly, ical letters, natural and spontaneous, filled with l all the little, intimate details that newspapers und ''rep'orts" always seem to leave out, and alive with the exaltation that comes from I selfless devotion to a cause. . i ANEW novel by a writer of such distinction as MRS. HUMPHRY WARD is always sure of u welcome. "Elizabeth's Campaign.'' issued under the imprint of Doiitl, Mead and Company, tells the story of the awakening of an Englishman of the old school to a consciousness of the war through his love for n noble and unselfish I woman, .Mrs. Waid is always at her best in her contrnst of tlie I opposing forces of the conservatism of a past generation and the young and ardent life of the day; and this book leprescnts, she tells us in her foreword, the mood of a suptemcly critical moment in I the war. THE gay little lomanees of Margatet Widdemer come like a gleam of .sunshine into world dulled by tragedy. YOU'RE I ONLY YOUNG ONCE might just as well have been named after her latest book of vetses, "The Old Road to Paradise," for it 1 pictures the adventures into happiness of a gioup of adorable girls I who never even wantetl to go to college but who tire past masters in what every woman, unfortunately, does not know.
