NEW FICTION BOOKS ON SPECIAL
GREEN GABLING
WITH ANNE
Miss Montgomery Has Written
Another Chapter in the Life
of Her Famous Heroine
No one could have written "Anne
of Green Gables," or "Anne's House of
Dreams," or any other of the "Anne"
series which bear the name of L. 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.

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.

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.

hum lumen out in "Spriggles." 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. It has
nil the qualities which make a book
popular and ought to be in demand for
months to come.

ace that the doctrine of states' rights
had vanished long before wnr was de

thnn which there was no more vigorous
exponent than itoosevelt. He is con
vinced thut centralization of power in
Washington will continue and in order
to preserve the democratic character
of the government he suggests some con
stitutional amendments which would be

Navy Experiences
Joseph Husband, who a few years ago
wrote an interesting record of pcisonnl
experience, "A Year in a Coal Mine,"
hns followed it with n Mmilar chronicle,
"A Year in the Navy," which will
doubtless be more interesting to more
people than tho previous book, since ho
innny of our young men were members
of Uncle Sam's fighting sea forces during
the wnr. 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.
Hi1 tells of his experience ns a seaman
iu training at Great Lakes, his ovei.seus
service, etc., treating them ns typical
of the experiences of numbers of other
young Americans.

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

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.' "

Reincarnation
In tho dnys of war men wondered
whether there was a God and whether
men were better than brutes. There
were Home skeptics who denied both.
Michael Wood, hns written a novel in
which he sets forth the proposition that
there is a God who controls the affairs
of men nnd thnt He manifests Himself
sometimes in unusual ways. It is the
story of a youth who, ns a boy, was so
impressed with whnt he hadpscen on a
White Island that he could not interest
himself in anything else. As he grew
up his fntlier regarded him as half
witted, but he is finally sent to a clergy- '
man who perceives that he has an un-'
usunl spiritual insight, nnd lives in con- ,
stnnt communion with the higher things,
consideration of which so absorb liist
nttention thnt he can give heed to little;
else. He is a sort of relncnrnatiou of
St. Michnel, nnd the story ends with'i
