M. Montgomery on their title page without having lived in a small country hamlet and without being in sympathy with the I life and the people there. The same can be said of "Rainbow Valley," which is the latest talc dealing with Anne and the people of Prince Edwnrd Island. Miss Montgomery, ns she pre fers to be known to the outside public, was born in Prince Edwnrd Island. She was educated at the public schools there and nt the local college. She taught school for three years, then en gaged in newspaper work and wrote short stories nnd novels nnd finally married the Rev. Ewnn Macdonald, now tho pastor of the Presbytcrinn churches in Lcnkdalc nnd Zephyr, Ontnrlo, two smnll villages about fifteen miles south of Lake Simcoc. Her new talc, "Rainbow Valley." deals with the adventures of the four children of Anne of Green Gables, mar ried, ns every one knows, to Gerald Blythc, nnd with the pranks of the motherless children of the pastor of ",e 'resoyierian church in the vil the rresbyterian church in the ' Rainbow valley ev is n t)lil crnniul for the children and the meeting; place ior lovers. The children of the minis ter are natural, prankish yotmRsters, nlways gcttlntt into mibchief. The peo ple in the village think he ought to marry again in order to have some one to bring tip the children. What plot tho story hns revolves around this second marriage. Tho bride-to-be is n young woman with a dead lover, lost at sea. She nnd the minister meet acci dentally In the valley and discover thnt they have many tastes in common. But the romnnce comes to a sudden end. How it is renewed nnd everything ends happily is explained with plausibility. The book is wholesome and entertaining to all who do not wnnt highly spiced fiction nnd nre content with the simple joys nnd sorrows of everyday folk in the country. Those who were charmed with Anne in the first plare will be anxious to know more nbout her and the book will satisfy them. nAjJitn0,YAJ'I'?'ri Pyj'-J't- Montgomery. 1W Frederick A. Stokes Compi-nyl EARL GREY Harold Begbic's Tribute to an English Statesman Harold Begbic's "last word" on Al bert, fourth Karl Grey, is a tributo to one who, Lord Bryce says, "was an almost unique figure in our public life. He never made an enemy or lost n friend." It is written In response to n request made by Earl Grey on his deathbed to Harold Begbie, "to help me In putting fornnrd a presentation of the political views with which I started life over thirty years ago." It is cer tainly remarkable that the life aim of one who was born in a palace nnd was the playfellow of princes, should be to further the welfare of the working classes, and to secure the co-operation which should draw the whole community together, as one brotherhood. In the sketch of his personality, with which Mr. Begbic's book begins, we learn that an interest in public affairs was possibly awakened by the fact that when at Trinity College, Cambridge, he was one of a group, "each member of which pledged himself to take a life long interest in tho moral and political welfare of some particular portion or the British empire," his being Hast Atnca. In his early manhood he was a member of I'arllnment for sW jeers. After visiting nearly every purt of the empire, he ended his public career in Canada. It is snid that "no governor general was ever more widely loved in Canada than this very gallant clean minded gentleman." During his term of office he visited our country, and, "never neglected any opportunity to deepers and domesticntc tbe good feel ing between England and the United States." It is a book which should be read by every participant in the conduct of political affairs, for It would bo an inspiration and incentive to him to strive for the true realization of thu brotherhood of mankind. ALBERT. FOfRTH EARL GREY A last v-ord By Harold Begbee. New York George II Doran Company jl.j;,. ' Six Best Cellars The interest of a group of suburban ites in their wine cellars, following the ndvent of wnrtimc prohibition, is the theme of a slight social burlesque by Holworthy Hall and Hugh Kahler. The hero pretends that he has stocked up enough to last him n long time, when he really is dependent on what he can buy by hook or crook. And one is led to believe that the other men arc In the same situation. The situation is saved for the hero when he comes into two dozen cases of Ithine wine thirty or forty years old left in the cellar of n temperance aunt by a convivial cousin when he died years ago. The book will 'amuse those in a similar predicament. THE SIX BEST CELLARS By Holworthy Hall and Hugh Kahler. New York! Dodd, Mlad &. Co. 41. Books Received , Fiction J.ARB NOSTRUM (OUR SEA) H V.

There is mystery in it nnd romance nnd im probability, nnd, beyond nil, human interest. There nre kindly people in it, and, like nil good, old-fashioned stories, it contains a vlllian. So what more could the reader ask who Is seek ing entertainment? Spriggles is the nickname of the hero, who is introduced ns a ragamuffin in the street. His mother lives with a burglar who kills n policeman and hns to flee to escape arrest. The woman goes with him, leaving the little boy stranded. The story tells how he is adopted by n tugboat captain, who has a little daughter named Nnticy; how the boy saves n rich woman from in jury In nn automobile accident ; how the woman adopts him and educates him ; how he develops nrtistic ability nnd learns to paint; how he goes to Hnrvnrd and then to Paris and how two other girls besides Nancy come into his life; how he wins nn nrtistic competition from n famous artist; how he is befriended by a scholarly bachelor who finally unravels for him the mys tery of his own parentage and how nt Inst he discovers which of the three girls he really cares for. There is a suggestion of Dickens in the book, a Dickens of the twentieth century, who had learned to compress his nnrrntive nnd go directly to the point nt which be wns aiming.

Mr. Husband, whose writing is simple and cleur, and who has a no tnblo gift for observation, went through the navy training nnd overseas tervice from civilian to commissioned officer.

LIFE OF A CHILD IN JERUSALEM A Fascinating Story of the Holy City From an Uncom mon Point of View This Is a "story of my childhood and my sorrows," says Myrlnm Harry in the dedication of her "Little Daughter of Jerusalem," to Jules Lcmaitre, who has written n most appreciative preface to it. He characterizes it as the delight ful story of a passionate, precocious little girl, nnd that "every one will love little Siono, born, bred and educated in the most holy city, the most pathetic spot in the whole universe." With Hebrew, ltussian nnd German blood flowing In her veins, and with such surroundings. It is not strange thnt she was keenly nllve to ever; thing. A simpler and more truthful record of her childhood from her earliest remem brances it would be difficult to find. Jerusalem as pictured by her is very different from thnt described by for eign trnvelcrs, whose chief interest is nnturally in its religious associations. Her attractive Saracen home, her Arab nurse, the'wnlks and rides in the streets, nnd excursions to Jericho nnd other places give a vivid Impression of the real Jerusalem. Some of her amuse ments with her child friends were the snme ns those of western children, "but what they enjoyed most was to play ni :,. .,..:.... it ,, , ,. T H& Slona experienced a melancholy de lillllt." Her ImncHnntinn u-hnn nK- " " O--"" -w, ........ UU.J seven, is shown by her cxclnmation to n little boy friend in their mutunl as tonishment at their first snowstorm: "It's nothing very wonderful. It is only the angels, you know, who are empty ing their wnstepapcr baskets." As she grows older she does not be come religious, much to bcr good Chrls tlon mother's regret. But she becomes greatly interested In her father's archeologieal researches, and espe cially in his discovery of nn ancient mnnuscript of the book of Deuteronomy. Her attachments in her budding wom anhood have n prominent plnce in her narrative, and some passages, might well have been omitted by the transla tor. The story ends sadly with the father's suicidal death and tho depar ture to Europe of her mother and her self, fifteen years old, "a penniless, korrow-stricken little pilgrim." As she took her last look of "the Holy City on her four hills, encircled by her ruiued battlements, Siona said solemnly: 'If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.'
