the triumph of Martin's ft lend who lint!

That there is no period In which he
cannot find himself nt home Mr. Fnrnel
hns proved in "The Oestc of Duke .Toco .Teco .Toce
l.in." The story is Inlet in the times
when knights fought joust and were
the colors of their lady. Mr. Fnrnel
has written a tale of adventure light
ened by humor and made tender by
love which many readers are likely le
find most enchanting. It is nheut the
wooing of a lady bv a knight whose
eeuntennnce was' se badly scarred that
he knew that no lady would leek en
him with favor If he wooed her directly.
8e he dens the motley of a feel and pre
tends te court the lady for his master,
lie courts her te such geed purpose that
in spite of his outward ugliness she
loves him above nil ethers. The Mori Meri
is told in prose and verse, nominally for
the nmusement of his daughter Gillian,
lie makes her interrupt the narrative
and criticize it as it proceeds, nnd he
jnedifie! it te suit her tst or tells her
te wait till she sees what is going te
happen. It is n remarkable literary
achievement.

A SOLDIER HERO
Temple Bailey Writes Charm
ing Story About a Virginian
Who Went te War
It is only ncccssnry te read Temple
Halley's latest novel, "The Trumpeter
.Swan," te discover why she has it large
following. She is able te write n
wholesome story of sentiment without
becoming sentimental, nnd nt the same
time she can construct a plot which
holds the Interest te the last. She does
net try te solve any problems or te
engage in any propaganda. She does
net delve very deeply into motives, hut
she writes n most entertaining tale,
That she does it te the taste of the
nubile is tireved by the fact that her
books sell by the. tens of thousands.
"The Trumpeter Swan" is a tale of
the love affair of a Virginian youth
who went te the war and came back
home te find the girl fascinated by a
northerner who was visiting another
northerner en a country estate In- had
recently bought. The boy and the girl
had grown up together ns playmates nnd
warm friends with no sent! pent llndlng
expression. The steiy tells row he wen
the girl, then lest her and finally wen
her ngnin. The nppenrnnce of two cli
mnxes ndds Interest te the narrative.
At the first the reader wonders what the
rest of the story is te be about, hut
the latter half of the book is mere nh nh
seibing than the first. Miss Railey
mnkes her characters real and she
knows the Seuth se well that she suc
ceeds in getting its atmosphere into her
pages. It is a book that can be put
Inte the hands of young people without
nny fear that they will find in it any
thing morbid or nnything which might
net be discussed nt the dinner-table
with perfect propriety.

Hew He Was Cured
A well -known English comedian Is
advised by his doctor, en account if
nerve strnin-, te go away te some quiet
snot in the country far from the mad
ding crowd. Se in a diary he tells his
experiences, his one purpose being "net
te be funny." In a simple, but very
taking way, which continually absorbs
the render's attention nnd interest in
"My Rest Cure," he tells of his parting
with Ids family and his peculiar mis
haps en his journey mainly through
the mlschieveusness of his children in
misprepnring his luncheon, which he
endenvered te share with his fellow pas.
sengers, much te their discomfort. On
his arrival at l.lltle Slocum he finds
that the villagers have ananged te give
It tin a public welcome, the opening event
being n Hand of Hepe ceuiert in the
DriU Hall, at which he Is expected te
given an address. The next day there
will be aquatic -ports, at which he is
te give the prbes, and in the evening
Ihete will be it meeting of the Sewing
Ilce, which lie will entertain. The
evening after, Sunday, there is te be a
lantern slide lecture at 7 :'W. He xvill
be asked te lecture en 'The Childhood
of Neah." Our friend shared in the
niiuntie spoils, but collapsed entirely
when the Sewing-Itee came te his room
in the inn for their meeting. The "pore
young man" wn- ciidcntly stricken with
n thiugern-s. possibly fatal ilhs, nnd
their one thought was te nurse him,
their lender saying Hint she would pass
the night watching him. During her
absence for a few minutes he escapes
and in "pyjamas, u mackintosh and
two beets," he ttius ten miles te the
station and catches n train for I.ondea.
where he arrives "a different man."
"And all through going te Little Slocum.
Yes, nfter all, " .Ittle Slocum hns cured
me. All the s.irre it nearly killed inn ns
well." The twrutv-seven comic illus
trations by Jehn Hassall add much te
the appreciation and enjoyment of this
remarkable diary, in writing which the
author lanmtains "I aim te be entirely
unfunnv, te lie my own natural self."

adopted. She rears the boy ns her own.
Iiessip says she is his mother. In the
course of years the grandfather becomes

Italy and the World War
By Themas Nelsen Page
Fermer U. S. Ambassador te Italy
This illuminating history of Italy's relation te the
.great war and final participation in it is by one who, as
our Ambassador te Italy, was a close observer of all that
went en in Italy and about Italy throughout the entire
war.
Its opening chapters form a survey of Italian history,
for the author who feels that "the key te Italy's relation
te the war is tp be found in her traditions, her history,
especially during the last hundred years."
As Italy's part in the entire great episode has been
vastly misunderstood, this brilliant presentation of it will
undoubtedly constitute one of the few volumes essential
te a comprehension of recent history.

Seme Memories of Him and His Life Collected by
MAX BEERBOHM
The Londen Spectator writes:
"I thoroughly advise anybody who is interested in the theatre te
read tins book, for it is impossible here te de justice te the variety
of amusement which it will afford the reader. There is the succu
lence of Lady Tree's contributions; there is Mr. Shaw's astringency,
with his admirable general comments en the art of the theatre;
there is Mr. Max Beerbohm's delightful, affectionate irony, and
there are the witty contributions by Sir Herbert Tree's daughters.
In fact, the level of wit and writing in Mr. Max Beerbohm's col
lection is almost suspiciously high."
