" NEW SPRING NOVELS MA PETTINGILL Racy Tain of Amazonian Rancher Col lected by 'Harry Leon Wilton Some of the most interesting stories being written by an American author are those centering about the unique figure of Mrs Ljsander John Pcttlnglll, the robustious and racy proprietor and manager of the Ariowhead ranch, who. rolls her own fags out of a muslin ba nnd thin brown paper; who lnhnlcs deep ly; who wears a sombrero nnd for nil wo knowi puttees as well, nnd whose milk of human kindness has never curdled in her bosom, however tart her tongue may be nnd however acidulated and vlrngolsh her attitude may be toward dubs, incompetents, boobs an such-tike poor fish Headers who remember "Iluggles of Tied Gap" and "Somewhere In Ited Gap'1 wilt give delighted welcome to the new collection of stories by Harry Leon Wilson, which he titles simply "Ma Pet tlnglll." rtcally that Is enough. The new tales are Mrn Pcttlnglll at her best form In structure the stories follow Mr. Wilson's formula of a few paecp o Introduction, drawing the narrator out and then the graphic, -vivid, quaint and humorously phrased narration of that master story-teller, who Is celebrated In the title. Hack of the stories has a novel theme and many curious and jet Kvmpathetlc angles of viewpoint. Mrs. Pcttlnglll's apt phrnses, her homely similitudes nnd lier choice slang are all a original as of yore. The stories arc satirical, and sometimes Ironic, but never cynical They jibe at foibles, pretenses nnd fnllades but never at the truth They are as keen and clean as the air that sweeps. about the Arrowhead ranch. All of them are good, wholesome without moralizing, sweet without sentimentality and deeply understanding of human na ture ; nnd ono especially "A Love Btory," Is an admirable specimen of bhort story In structure, characterisation and spirit.

During the years when Dr. Hill represented this country at Ber lin, he was in almost daily con tact with either the Kaiser him self or with his ministers, and he has, in this bpok, given the world a real picture of the inner work ings of the Kaiser's policies, as revealed through his own words and actions, his own letters and official documents.

Among the hundreds of letters that have come to Margaret Cameron from thinking men and women of high standing and high intelligence and culture the country over is one from a lifelong student of religions, in which he says in part: "I stand amazed at what has come through you lo a waiting world . . . There is nothing new about truth, but there IS something new about this presentation of truth, and I consider this the greatest contribution to ethics that I have ever seen. Theoretical religion has been omitted and the most practical religion presented. Both have their place, but just now, in this rationalistic age, the practical will gain the attention of the busy man wlien the theoretical and sentimental would leave him cold and uninterested."
