BOOKS AND MAGAZINES"

Captain H. G. Gilliland while a
! prisoner in Germany came into per
i sonal contact with Ambassador
| Gerard during one of the latter's
| visits to the camp, and the friend
ship formed at that time lias been
continued since the captain's es
cape. The English' edition of his
! "My German Prisons" bears the fol
lowing dedication: "To Ambassador
Gerard, to whom every British
j prisoner owes a debt of gratitude
wliith can never be paid." This book*
when published in England, was
! inhibited by the censorship; but
j now that the stern conditions of
: war are lifted, it will appear, en-
I larged and freed of restraint, un
| der the imprint of Houghton Mif
| tlin Company.
| A story of unusual spiritual qual
! Ity and of special moment for a
| world in which grief and loss are
> universal is to bo found in Michael
j Wood's "Tho White Island," which
| E. P. Dutton & Company have just
1 published. It is told in tho first
person by the head of a religious
community in England whose pur
pose is to give spiritual aid and com
fort to any who may be in need of
such help, and its central figure is
the son of an Englishman of promi
nence, a lad whose apparently ar
rested mental development is a bit
ter trial to his father and mother.
But his absorption in the life of the
spirit is so intense that its influence
touches those who are near him. The
religious father relates in a series
of episodes how the boy, without his
own knowledge, moves and changes
the minds and hearts of those about
hint. The tale carries a deep and
simple sense of reality, notwith
standing the abstract nature of the
spiritual questions with which it is
| concerned, and if has a warmly hu
i utan quality which will bring it close
i to the hearts of all who suffer and
j doubt and question. The purpose of
' the story is to give a new viewpoint
1 to those who are impelled to ques
i tion the underlying justice in the
government of the world.
E. P. Dutton & Co. report a very
wide and constantly growing interest
, in Baisco Ibanez's novel of the great
war, "The Four Horsemen of the
i Apocalyse." They brought the book
■ out at the end of August and al
though Ibanez was then known only
j to a very small circle of readers in
! the United States and although there
had already been many novels of
the war, "The Four Horsemen" at
once caught tho attention of the
reading public. Edition followed
edition at an ever more rapid pace
j until now the presses arc kept al
! most constantly busy upon it in or
der to meet Ihe demand. The forty-
I second edition is now in press and

i sador Hill knows the Kaiser us few

During the years when ho represented
tills country at Berlin he was in al
most daily contact with either the
Kaiser himself or his ministers. And
beyond this he has a full und scholar
ly knowledge of the background

tragedy is now being enacted. To de
nounce any man, however evil he may

To let that man reveal himself

the worthier and more convincing
method of showing him to the world

completely in the realization of his

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fair fax
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
It's always interesting to hear a
young bride tell what she wants
most to have in her new home. Also,
what she is determined not to have.
If you listen to her carefully, you can
pretty easily make up your mind
whether or not you would care to be
a guest at her home that is to be.
If she is emphatic in regard to
sunshine, and easy chairs, and a piano,
and even an open fireplace, I fell sure
that she understands comfort and
friendliness and reai hospitality, und
I know I shall accept the first invita
tion that she gives me.
But if her soul's delight seems to de
pend on the embroidered initials of
her table linen, and if she betrays her
fear that her best-beloved won't do
mesticate well, but that his pipe
smoke will injure her draperies, I

May every to-day and every to-morrow of
this New Year be brim full of happiness for
you.
Woman's Exchange

Hut what shall we do. women say
if we carv't nltord to keep up a corn
puny standard all the time?
You may bo suro thut your guests
will ho a great deal happier, ana a
thousand times moro willing to come
again if you simply drop the Idea of
a company standard altogether.
What la- Hospitality f
Hospitality means leaving yy
door always unlatched. It mealßj
keeping the pot boiling, and lnvltlrM
your chance guests to take "pot luclM
with you. A house that Is clean ana
a household that is happy are reads
enough for guests at any time. It ■
a Joy to be a guest wh . one Is freß
to corns In and take one's seat by toB
lire, and one's share of the musn-an*
milk, or the turkey and truffles, OM
whatever it mny happen to be, antJl
and when every member of the farad
ily Just goes on acting naturally
ever many guests arrive.
Perhaps you don't have open fires
and huge boiling soup-pots. Never
mind. You can be Just as hospitable
with a stc/un radiator and.p Impro
vised dish of macaroni. &o long as
your domestic atmosphere Is warm
and Inviting, and your family man
ners nre normally good enough to be
inspected at a moment's notice you
can offer hospitality to princes.
Of course this system excludes
family grouches.
Unless the rest of the family are
much more than ordinarily fasclnat
ing the presence of an habitual grouch
will make any home guestproof.
Don't Imagine that you can impose
company manners -on your family
1 grouch with that same quick slelght
: of-hand with which you dust the
I piano wliile you answer the doorbell.
'Or if yot uo succeed, they won't stay
i T.lke all artificial, flimsy things, they
will split at the wrong time.
1 The oiily safe way Is to rule out

tences w,ien you begin jour family
life.
