PARLOR-BOUND"
Ames is the Product of Stuffy
Furniture and Tasteless
Environment
Ames had kept steadily befere him
the hope that some day he would reach
the age of twenty-one and could tell
his father and mother te go te hell."
This sentence, epitomizing the story
and lessen Arthur S. Hlldcbrand has
endeavored te spread In his remarkable
story "The Parler Begat Ames" (Har
court, Brnce & Ce.) will prove less
startling than it sounds te bis readers
who have geno through or are under
taking the difficulties of parenthood.
Peer Ames does reach majority, but
he never manages te stoke up suffi
cient courage te defy the close, tight
ened cells of fen. but misdirected par
ents. He finally succumbs te the in in
fluence of the stodgy, stuffy, middle
century parlor. -Ayitli Its drawn cur
tains and inartJjbrlc-n-brae. And
he takes his w.n the industrial
treadmill, as b TJlWatlier befere him.
This parlorajrem which the title is
drawn is tliPsymbel of the lives of
the parents of Ames. They are com
monplace, middle-class, satisfied with
their own little orbit nnd unwilling or
unable te adjust their ideas te the ever
changing range of the youngster.
Mr. Hlldcbrand has written under
Btnndingly of the gradual change of
young Ames from babyhood te youth
nnd then manhood, nlways seeking te
find an expression for himself and al
ways running Inte the barrage of pa
rental "Don't" Injunctions that grew
Inte severity from mere lack of un
derstanding. The characterization of
Ames, never a genius, merely a normal
boy nnd youth, is a bit of delicate draw
ing thut lias few equals in nresent-ilav
fiction. Mr. Hlldcbrnnd's study of the
steugy, middle class, rorm-beund fam
ily, is be clear that one can forgive
him for putting pajamas en one of his
characters in the days of '74.

MAN'S TRUEST FRIEND
Albert Terhune and Samuel De
rieux Write Geed Stories
of Geed Dogs
Then Is an Irreslstlble appeal In sym
pathetic stories of animals that often
can overcome the handicap of mawkish
sentiment applied without skill. But
when the story is told simply and with
the true understanding of a real lever
of dogs the result Is usually enjoyable
from the reader's viewpoint. And Al
bert Pnysen Terhune knows his dogs as
few ethers de, and what is mere, can
impart te the reader a sense of the real
affection that some animals have for
their human masters. In "His Deg"
(E. P. Dutten & Ce.), Mr. Terhune
has delved mere into fiction than he
usually does In his deg stories. But
the story rings true In Its animal as-
pect despite the patent artificiality of
the story.
The story concerns Itself with the re
demption of a llo'er-de-well through his
affection for an injured deg he picks up
en the roadside. That the animal
proves a ehew champion and nearly is
taken away from Its new owner crops
up in stilted form, but the chnrm of the
deg is paraded In Terhunc's best man
ner. Anether collection of deg stories
worth reading Is "Frank of Freedom
Hill" (Deubleday.Tnge & Ce.), writ
ten by Samuel A. Dcrieux shortly be bo be
fere his death. Mr. Terhune's deg
here is a collie. Frank is a setter.
Beth are almost super-dogs. In sepa
rate stories Mr. Derieux gives a short
history of the setter's life, his affec
tion for his little-mastcr, etc. In these
stories mystery and thrills nre combined
with the nntural attributes of animal
stories. Besides the episodes dealing
with Frank nre several ether deg stories
of cqunl interest.
Mr. Terhune Is one of the most pro
lific ns well ns understanding of the
fietlenlsts who write about dogs. Lvcry
deg lever remembers "Lad," which had
a big success some seasons age, and
still retnlns its popularity. Mr. Ter
hune, doubtless in response te many
requests, has written "Further Ad
ventures of Lad." The new adven
tures are of the same Interesting nature
and related In the same sensitively sym
pathetic way and will b'O sure te please
all who own n deg or who wish they
had room in their apartment te own
one. It Is published by the Dorans.

A GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEME
WHICH DID NOT WORK RIGHT
Alice MncGewnn and Perry New
berry have written a detective story,
with the scene lnld In California, which
has all the qualities that a detective
story should have. "The Millien -Dellar
Suitcase" (Frederick A. Stokes
Company) keeps the render ..guessing
until the very end. It is the story of a
bank cnshler who left the bank ene
Saturday afternoon with n suitcase.
After he had left it was discovered that
he carried away 81,000,000 in negotiable
rcctirltics belonging te the bank. It is
necessary te get these securities before
the bank opens en Monday morning if
a run is te be -prevented, with pos
sible bankruptcy. A young man, a sol
dier in the great war, who hail just
come into some property which en
titled him te sit with the directors, of
fers $800,000 for the contents of the
suitcase nnd premises te have the money
ready en Monday morning. Thn story,
while incidentally dealing with hew
he raises the money. Is really about his
pursuit of the defaulting cashier and
his discovery of htm where he was least
expected te be. But in the meantime
the young man bln.sclf is suspected,
net only of the robbery, but also of
murdering his own father, and is ar
rested en the lntter charge. As the
story proceeds It becomes tbrlllingly
melodramatic and ends with a climax In
which everything is made clear.
INTERESTING
(IF NOT IMPORTANT)
IN TABULATING the answers te The Literary
Digest's questionnaire, "Who are the leading
figures of the American literary field that have
risen above the horizon in the past ten years?"
a Philadelphia journalist found that a greater
number of our authors had been picked as belong
ing among the firstfive than these of any ether
publisher. This questionnaire was sent by The
Digest te a group of people "who figure before the
American reading public as competent literary
judges."
The Beni & Liveright authors who were chosen
are:
Maxwell Bodenheim
E. E. Cummings
T. S. Eliet
Walde Frank
It may also interest you te knew that, although
we have published books for only a little ever four
years, The American Library Association has in

By our we mean authors whose books we

VARIED VILLAINS
Vamp of One Mystery Yarn Is
Worse Than 'Miladi1 Boobs
in Other Tale
David Desmond, an easy-going Eng
lishman, walked out of his house one
day te-get sorae nnils from a nearby
store. Fifteen years later, after a
skeleton hnd been unearthed from a
farm yard and identified ns his, David
walked into his home and took his place
nt the dinner table an though he had
just been out for a stroll.
Here is the foundation for "What
Hnppcned te Mr. Desmond" (Seltzer),
and before C. Nina Beyle has unraveled
the mystery she has provided one of the
best written nnd most engrossing stories
of years. And Incidentally in placing
her blame for the wrecking of hnlf a
dozen lives she hns drawn a chnracter
which for unleavened fiendishncss, way
wardness nnd sinister cruelty far sur
passes even the mullgnnnt "Miladi" of
"The Three Musketeers."
Aside from the natural Interest that
envelops anv mystery story when even
'passably told, Miss Beyle had made
every tangle and side isiue perfectly
plnustble. Net even the most unusual
denouement can bring forth n carping
criticism of "It couldn't happen."
"What Happened te Mr. Desmond" is
ene of the best mystery tales that has
been written in many moons.
Anether mystery story from overseas,
also bnsed upon a disappearance, is
"The Blttenneads Mystery" (A. A
Knopf), by E. It. Punshen. But where
"What Happened te Mr. Desmond" is
mystifying nnd logical. "The Bitter
meads Mystery" is just "another of
these JJilngs." The author has started
out te create a mystery nnd that's his
story, and he sticks te It te the bitter
end.
Hardly a page afer the opening chap
ter but the here could close the incident
by asking a legirnl question or using
the sense of a country "censtabule."
But the sfry must go en and se the
questions are never ndcd.
And te' provide thrills Mr. Punshen
trots out some remarkable villains.
One trqps the here and then calmly
drops his revolver and permits himself
te be tossed te death through a window.
Anether villain, also with the here at
bis mercy, suddenly turns nnd runs
away for no conceivable reason and
then pens a full confession. Anyway
the confession wns needed, as the story
was becoming a bit tee long.

and a love nffair with a princess which
