Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. Gibson is an accomplished and stupendous liar, and his strange adventures are told with the. utmost apparent seriousness to a man who hardly knows him whenever the two meet in their club. There are any number of surprises and temptations to hearty laughter in these stories, which are unique in their pretense of sober reality. LUNATIC AT LARGE AGAIN (THE). By J. Storer Clouston. E. P. Dutton & Co., New The readers of this story and its predecessor will be only too willing that this particular lunatic should He is as escape again and again. clever as he is irresponsible, and the way in which he baffles pursuers, outwits deep-plotting villains, and makes the route of true love smooth is a marvel of high spirits. OVER THE FOOTLIGHTS. By Stephen Leacock. Dodd, Mead & Co., New York. $1.50. Parodies on plays have been not uncommon; but these "dramas" by Mr. Leacock do not burlesque individual plays or authors, but hold up for amusement types of play-writing, such as the old-fashioned melodrama, the "piffle play," the movie film of the Wild West, and, best of all to our liking, the classical play as presented in the original Greek by college students. Here is a brief excerpt from the typical English translation kindly furnished by the college authorities of "Oroastus," by Diplodocus: Chorus. Oh, how unhappy is this now-standing-before-us King! Herald. Your palace, O King, has on the one hand been destroyed by fire and your crown, which in and of itself for the most part signified your kingship, has on the other hand been stolen. THRIFTY STOCK, AND OTHER STORIES. By Ben Ames Williams. E. P. Dutton & Co., Mr. Williams made an enviable reputation as a writer of sea stories with the virility of Jack London and some qualities that were not native to that writer. In this volume Mr. Williams shows quite successfully that he can deal with a different class of fiction subjects. One considerable group of the stories tells of the people of a village called Fraternity-a real village, the author tells us, certainly one that furnishes extremely pleasing local color and material for character depiction. BIOGRAPHY MIND THAT FOUND ITSELF (A). By Clifford Whittingham Beers. Doubleday, Page & Co., New York. $2. One may take this book up with a certain aloofness, seenting a study in so much that is freshly told in these pages that the book is vivid and readable even so many years after the conflict was closed. BOOKS morbid psychology; but as the reader goes on, the story becomes of absorbing interest and he is not content to stop until he has arrived at the last page. The book has been compared in its interest to a novel; but it has, what is perhaps uncommon in presentday novels, a "happy ending" that has proved itself of great value to the mentally afflicted. In all our personal reading we do not remember a more striking exemplification of the Pauline aphorism, "No chastening for the present seemeth joyous, but grievous; nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness," than Mr. Beers's account of his misfortune and the great gain to human welfare that has resulted from it. POETRY CHILD'S DAY (A). By Walter de la Mare. Illustrated by Winifred Bromhall. Henry Holt & Co., New York. $1.75. Has there been-since Stevensona children's poet so aptly and genuinely endowed for the rôle as Walter de la Mare? Another name does not come readily to mind. "A Child's Day," published first in England in 1912, and now brought out in a new edition here, reveals again Mr. de la Mare's ability to do that most difficult of all feats of juvenile literature—to write of the child's world from within the child's mind. The look worn by these verses is not that of a supercilious adult condescension, but the sober or smiling expression of childhood's own reaction to the world about it. The same qualities of wide-eyed wonder and simple joy and shuddering awe which are in the author's "Peacock Pie" are in evidence here. finds cause for regret in only a rare and occasional awkwardness of versification. The verses are in the form of a chronicle of a child's day-from waking and tub, to supper and bed. The various stages are touched with a spirited imaginativeness that could scarcely fail to capture the interest of children to whom they may be read. The poetry is simple without being silly, and delicate without being thin. PETERBOROUGH ANTHOLOGY (THE). Compiled and with an Introduction by Jean Wright Gorman and Herbert S. Gorman. The Theatre Arts, Inc., New York. $2. One The expressed purpose of this volume is to show the kind of poet who goes to the MacDowell Colony, at Peterborough, New Hampshire. The result is, on the whole, impressive. The list of contributors includes a surpri ngly large number of names distinguished in American poetry, and the high level of performance suffers only occasionally in the 202 pages. The Introduction by the compilers offers a serviceable exposition of the character and purpose of the MacDowell Colony as a sane and serious workshop for artists with something to do. It is in no sense a Greenwich Village artist colony, flowing with ties and hair and theories, but a retreat where the serious worker in any of the seven arts may retire for a period from the distractions of the world and under the most favorable conditions translate his powers and impulses into the fullness of achievement. The Colony represents the realization of a dream harbored by the late Edward MacDowell, the composer, and developed through the practical genius of Mrs. MacDowell. The collection of poets here offered represents divergent tendencies in the art, and brings together such widely different performances as those of E. A. Robinson, Maxwell Bodenheim, Padraic Colum, and Lola Ridge. Some hint of the variety of the poetry, as well as of the distinction of the contributors, may be had when to the names already given are added those of Hermann Hagedorn, Josephine Preston Peabody, Eunice Tietjens, and Elinor Wylie. The quality of the poetry is such as might be expected where such conIn some intributors predominate. stances one encounters work that would not be found in this superior company except for the common Peterborough association; but the impression from a reading of the book through is of much excellent and various poetry. FOR WE LIVE BY HOPE AND BY DESIRE.."-WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Man forever seeks the rainbow's end. -The Aryans rumbling across the face of the world in their primitive wagons; -Moses leading his people to the Promised Land; -The Pilgrims sailing out from Plymouth Harbor for a home across the seas. All of these have gone upon man's ancient quest for happiness. It is the quest of all of us-some to win to "Heart's Desire " some to fail. It is this age-old urge that has brought and is bringing new thousands into the Pacific Northwest year by year. Some few, of course, have failed to find contentment. But millions more have found life brimming. Millions have discovered here a homeland where there is a joy in mere existence. Assuredly, you too will find it so. You too will find a glorious climate, tempered in the eastern sections by the warm Chinook winds; in the west by the Japan current, so that roses bloom the year around. A land of brilliant sunshine, with nights that are always cool. A climate, in fine, for fine churches, schools, colleges, and centers of social life; in the thriving, pleasant towns and villages; on the farms and great ranches -everywhere throughout the Pacific Northwest you will meet with people who are happy at their work, people who play with enthusiasm, people who seem to have absorbed some of the fineness, the beauty and largeness of the land in which they live. There are today some three and a half million of these people. They have room for as many neighbors more. Here where life is richer and fuller, there is room for you. Here, in a homeland, where new thousands every year are learning how to really live, in a land dedicated to equal opportunity and a man's chance for every man, there is a place for you.

They were all, like myself, mothers; and all, also like myself, facing the time when our children were emerging into manhood and womanhood with their independence and consequent lessening dependence on us. After discussing many phases of modern young people, one mother said, with a good deal of bitterness: "It is all a failure; we work and sacrifice ourselves for our children, and they do not appreciate it or show any gratitude." A dead silence. We all felt the mother's tragedy-old, and yet ever new when it comes to each of us. Then I said: "Yes, a failure if we are working only for gratitude; but if we are working to make them fine men and women and they turn out to be so, then our work is a success whether we ever win recognition or not." It is of course the distinctly personal element which makes parents expect gratitude. In other lines the worker knows that, not only may he never be rewarded, but that usually the only reward for work is more work and harder work. And I think that is what we women must expect and work toward, lest we be left with empty hands and weary hearts. If we have done our work well, we literally work ourselves out of a job, for we are striving to create characters which shall be independent of us. Some mothers find that their careers as mothers continue, for they may be left with a dependent child or with little grandchildren to care for. But, generally speaking, our mother jobs are over some time in middle life, and, as Mrs. Wiggs tells us, "If you git knocked out of one plan, you want to git yerself another right quick before yer sperrits has a chance to fall." I am not speaking of those women who have some marked talent like painting, writing, or music, and so have a hobby which they can turn into a business, if they wish, or who can give great pleasure with their gift. Neither do I speak of women of wealth and leisure who have been able to make a vocation of charity or politics. I am speaking of the rank and file of women on moderate incomes whose job of housewife and mother has kept them confined, if not fully occupied, the greater part of the day. It is these women to whom the suddenly empty house and unexpected leisure hours bring the pang of wondering why the man has an ever-increasing interest in his job and she a lessening interest in hers. So I advise women to begin working out of their job years before the job leaves them, and to try to study along some line which will work them into another job.
