A Study in Character "A GENTLEMAN OF SORTS" By Everett Young It is the acid test of a crisis that re- veals character. In time and experience character develops nobly of^gnobly. This book is a character study. It has no hero but revels in a genuine heroine. Andrew Croy was a gentleman in the European rather than the American sense. That is he had family name, social position and wealth . Otherwise he was considerable of a cad. Mary Kate, whom circumstances forced him to marry, was of humble birth, no social position and bis stenographer but was innately a ladyâ€"in the American sense. The book is the story of the education of Andrew. Life and Mary Kate were his teachers. The scenes are in Paris and the story for the most part has a truly French flavor. It is charmingly written and never flags in interest. James Walter Doughty. Copyright 1923, Stewart H. Howard Public Library News and Reviews ABOUT BOOKS AND THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE THEM. A Bid for More and Better Oppenheim THE MYSTERY ROAD" By E. Phillips Oppenheim Reviewed by D. Kenneth Lamb We have the profoundest resped for E Phillips Oppenheimâ€"as a golfer! (He once'won a French Golf championship. Our handicap is 18.) If it were not for that respect and the " conviction that he would promptly con- fute us by bringing out a new and in- teresting novel we should assert that our favorite,maker of thrillers was slipping; basing the verdict on "The Mystery Road." Here we have all the ingredients that commonly make an Oppenheim pot-boiler a substantial literary dish: Englishmen Strong and silent; Englishmen brilliant and shallow; Englishwomen haughty and beautiful; ravishing Russian Grand- duchesses with stupendous sables, samo- :vars, seven-foot servitors and mysterious pasts. AND Myrtileâ€"little French peasant gifl, beautiful and virtuous, (her home town was not in the, A. E. F. Billeting Area) who accepts the dubious protection of two young Britishers bound for Monte Carlo when she flees the at- " tention of an odious old French sot. And the ingredients are well mixed: OM French sot loves young (and virtu- â€"et»)â€"French girl;-young French ^*h4~ loves handsome Englishman; handsome Englishman loves mysterious Russian ^girl; Mysterious Russian loves mysteri- ous Russian prisoner; Englishman's sis- ter loves Englishman's friend; English- man's friend loves young French girlâ€" but hopelessly; quite hopelessly. In fact, the whole thing is hopeless (but virtti- ous.) Something went wrong in the cooking. Perhaps Mr. Oppenheim for- got the salt and pepper. He certainly ... . , , . - . t , iU didn't forget the sugar.

In "The End of the House of Allard" Miss Sheila Kaye-Smith at- tempts to suggest how this problem will be worked out. All but the very wealthy upper class will vanish, she thinks, not tragically or dramatically, but simply because its function has atrophied and its uses are past. The peasant will step into its shoes, *not violently or through any confiscatory measures, but simply *>ytek- advantage of economic laws which - - - - Jt has all ing Corbin Return of the Middle Class In this discussion of pur social and political predicaments, the author points out that most discussions of current prob- lems are off the mark, for they are con- ducted on the erroneous assumption that there are two classes, capital and labor, whereas; in fact, there is also the mid- dle class, composed of the brain workers â€"professional and salaried men, says the Publisher's note. This class has its rights, as apart from capital and labor, which it is in the public interest to pro- tect. The best way to do this would he to increase the influence of the now neglected middle class, which the author calls the brain power of the country as are working in his favor, happened ^bef ore. England remains Eng- land, no matter how deeply her soul is underplowed. Whiting Canada the Spellbmder Those who have been fortunate enough to see the places so charmingly des- cribed by Lilian Whiting in "Canada the Spellbinder" will be glad to renew their memories through her book. And others who have not seen them will be inter- ested in reading about them, for Miss Whiting, has a magic gift in description; The book is beautifully illustrated, and will prove a most attractive addition to the library's material on travel. Cather" Lost Lady Willa Cather, the author of "My An- tonio" and "One of Ours," to name but two- of her novels, has written a tale of the old West in "The Lost Lady." The story tells of the railroad aristocracy that grew up when the great transcon- tinental lines were being built. Many will consider the central character, Maidy Forrester, one of Miss Cather's greatest triumphs. Van Vechten Blind Bow-Boy Mr. Van Vechten has "sworn before a notary public," to quote a publisher's note, that his only object in writing this book was td amuse, and ^describes ;the hero, the god Eros, as "a cartoon for a sSnedglass wnidow." Readers who en/oy«i "Peter Whiffle" will, be glad to see this book, which is bavjng\a popularity. . ..r.._.^...,,^^^&f&&* wide â- i BIG SAVING IN COAL Engineers estimate that the complete electrification pf the railroads of the United States would save more than 100,000,000 tons of coal a year.

A Literary Treasure-House THE OUTLINE OF LITERATURE â€"Vol. 1. By John Drinkwater The first of the three volumes, of„ "The Outline of Literature" hafjusF'been published, edited by John Prinkwater, who undertook a stupendous task and lufe achieved a very notable success..Mr.I Drinkwater arid his associate editors have Reived into the litera/y treasures of the â- jast, tracing the very dawn of poetry \ixom the time when the first song evolved » irom the shouts and yells of a savage war dance, arid the beginnings of liter-, ;atnre expressed by mere scratchings on Tocks, to the present day. m Reading this book is much like sitting an a darkened theatre, while Mr. Drink- »;yrater operates the spot light. We sense, in the darkness, the huge stage, crowded with the embodied dreams of the world's greatest creative minds. However great or little our previous knowledge may be our interest is assured as Mr. Drink- water turns on the lime-light and we • see> as it were under his capable direc- tion, the high-lights and continuity of this entrancing narrative. Greek Mythology the ancient Chinese Works; the genius Of Homer; the Bible; the Sacred Books of the East, slowly the amazing proces- sion passes, down to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. -*_. Besides the interest of the text there All generations feel the effects of social change, but it is not given every genera- tion to see them in a perspective that makes for romantic or dramatic treat- ment, says The Literary * Review. The fifteenth century in England, we can well imagine, was such a period if novel- ists had been at hand to record it. The extinction of the great feudal families i ....must have reacted for happiness onl thousands of lives, entailed endless shifts | in loyalties and allegiances.
