There must be a very substantial reason for this pleasing condi- - And tion. 5 m biography and all the gaieties, gradations and dramatic climaxes of the best short story writing. At first one stops to wonder whether this is biography or fiction. So lifelike is the portraiture, so authentic are all the tricks of the biographers trade, that one fancies one is reading the life of a real dignitary whose name and career should be as familiar as the name and career of Theodore Roosevelt or, let us say, the artful Harvey OHiggins himself. Each story 'begins with a feigned Whos quotation from the latest Who, something like this Carey, Owen, author; b. July 16, 1867; ed. pub. schools; m. Mary Fleming, August 3, 1903; newspaper work in New York City. Author: Fair Anne Hathaway; The Queens Quest, etc., etc. The reader scratches his scalp and says Who is this Owen Carey, anyway? I think I read Fair Anne Hathaway last summer at the beach, bu I dont just recall. And then the hoax dawns slowly and engagingly. But even after you know the joke you follow each story from fascination to fascination, reading about such gripping personalities as Jane Shore, actress, "Thomas Wales Warren, old school politician; Benjamin McNeil Murdock, the Burbank of New Jersey; Conrad Norman, moving picture star; Sir Watson Tyler, promoter, and District Attorney Wickson. First of all, of course, you are given a glimpse of the early days and formative influences and then the turning point in the personalitys career. The author insists on that turning point. It is usually a little thing, a mere wisp of detail that starts the man in a new direction and shapes his whole future career. But the author is not satisfied to let the little thing remain either little or tiresome. He picks it up and tosses it into the crucible of his imagination and, presto, we have romance, drama, emotions that tug at the innermost hearstrings. - W. 8. McCornlck - Anthon H.

They were literary and mildly alluring, but they were not From BMBUSHED ISIS 9 m I like Conrad Norman best because of the profoundly moving love story of very real beings. Some will prefer the more tragic Owen Carey or District Attorney Wickson, and some may think that the authors powers of character drawing are most triumphantly displayed in his delineation of that modern Becky Sharp, Jane Shore. It Is all so convincing and, at the same time, so delightfully intriguing, that one feels it is a notable work deserving of much higher consideration than should be accorded most of the books of short stories published in the last decade. F. P. G. TO SALT LAKE STOP AT THE CAREER OF GENERAL WOOD. By Joseph Hamblen Sears. New York: D. Appleton A Co. GENERAL Wood Newhouse Hotel Main and 4th South tried to do for what General klHIHHIMHM Roberts had tried to do for England. He spent his time traveling from one part of Combining all the advantmetthe country to another, exhorting, deages of the high-cla- ss ropolitan hotel, with the bating, and pleading.
