New York. Modern Library. 95c. , The writing of a book such as “The Life of Jesus” is truly a stu pendous task. It is a work that is attempted successfully probably not more than once in a century. “The Life of Jesus,” which has just come from the Modern Library presses, is a reprint of that famous work of Renan's which was written in Pafles tine in 186J. Renan’s “Life” has always been a thorn in the flesh of Catholicism. None, however, could attack its fact; they wqre forced t-o declare the au thor unqualified to write of Him because the author did not admit His divinity. Years of study en abled Renan to write the facts as history knows them, and in a style that is chronological enough to make the narrative both understandable and interesting, whether he was qualified from the religious stand point or not. UNCERTAIN TREASURE, by Helen Woodbury. Boston. LittI*, Brown & Co., $2. Since everyone knows that all modern novels en(J • happily, admis sion might as well be made now that “Uncertain Treasure” ends in a fashion that gives unconfined joy to all concerned. The treasure re ferred to in the title is the married life of Harry and Joan, and the treasure for a long time decidedly is uncertain. Barry and Joan have a great time on their honeymoon, but, when they finally come back to earth and Bar ry has to go back to work for so much a day, brass begins to show through the gold plating of their happiness. Barry’s friends do not mix with those of .loan; neither do his interests. At last the two face the question of divorce. Upon their decision rests the happiness which the author seems confident is in store for her characters in the fu ture. What that decision was, the reader can find—if he does not care for modern novels but has curiosity —on page 295, paragraph foil-. THAT MIND OF YOURS, by*Daniel B. Leary, Ph. D. Ne# York. J. B. Lippincott. $1.75. When a book of technical or semi teehnical nature such as “That Mind 4f Yours”’ is published by a reput able company, the first question which pops into the minds of critics is, “does the book justify its pub lication?” “That Mind of Yours” adds nothing new whatever to the subject of psychology; it may, there fore, bo branded by many as not worth the trouble of publishing. However, viewed from the light of the casual reader, “That Mind of Yours” is not only worthy of publication but actually fills a need. The infant subject of psychology is growing so rapidly that it is of uni versal interest. As all new sciences, however, it has suffered from a mass of technical nomenclature that lias made it unintelligible to any but the student or scholar. Leary’s book, which leans toward behaviorism, is written with practically no use of technical terms and ii^ a style that opens the field of psychology to everyone. THE GOOD HOPE, by Henuuu Hei.jermans, New York. [Samuel French. $1.50. “The Good Hope” i.s a gripping drama of the sea in four acts, trans lated into English by Lillian Saund ers and Caroline Heijermaus-Hou wink. Heading the play has two effects, which probably would be la ightened upon the stage. One of them is a striking realization of the evils of a negligent shipping code, brought about by a carefully drawn picture of the Dutch law of a quar ter of a century ago. Hindi more important, however, to the lover of plays is the second effect., an understanding of the character of those who sail the seas at'd those who wait behind. The fnvii and women which lie lias east in the tiny fishing village are little short of masterpieces of character delineation. Most of the action of the play passes in the cottage of a mother of two youqg men, both of " bom have put to sea in a rotten schooner. The other characters tome in and go out while the action rises to a tremendous climax. For the Social Season— Throughout the winter ;incl spring months there are an abundanee of so eial activities.

Samuel Ereneh. $1.60. A trip into the wind of the mod em governess-educated girl is clev erly managed by Tom Cushing in his 3-act fantasy, “The Devil in the Cheese.” The girl’s parents take her to a monastery to get her out of the influence of a lover of whom they do not approve. Then, through biting into a piece of pre-Christian cheese, the power is given the girl's father to see all that she thinks. He discovers that his child is rc:^ ly in love. In the meantime the party at the monastery is captured by bandits. Jimmy, the lover, arrives by air plane, saves the party, gets the hero ine and lives happily—at least un til after the elosing scene. The play is dependent upon clever lines and the well-done fantasy for its suc cess. ESSENTIALS O F P UBLIC SPEAKING, by Warren C. DuBofe, A. M., LL. B. New York. Prcnticc Hall. $2. Warren C. DuBois, author of “Es sentials of Public Speaking,” has been teaching the art of making an after-dinner speech for the last 14 years—the length of time which such a speech usually seems to last. The manual he lias evolved from his long experience is brief but comprehen sive. It is a summary of the fun damentals ef the subject, summar ising the various types of speeches, analyzing methods of arousing in terest and enthusiasm, and considers the various aspects of delivery. CHRISTOPHER' AlORLEY, by Babette Hughes. Seattle. Univer sity of Washington Press. 65c. This latest issue of the University of Washington Chapbook series is an essay in rhyme in which the au thor endeavors—and somewhat suc cessfully, too—to justify the de scriptive title which she has append ed to Morley’s name: •‘ALulti ex Uno.” There were in truth many sides to the character of Christopher Mor ley. \ In her attempt to portray these the author introduces the read er to a meeting of the Three Cheers for Morlcy Club, held at an English inn, with good meat roasting and good wine flowing. Christopher is there, Kit is there, and so is Alor Li, the Mardarin. The discussion is healed,, genial and. bonkisii* the whole bringing out those character istics which the author desires to show.
