The following new books have been

"Pisces of Hate.*“ by Heywood
Brown. This is a delightful group
of essaya. The title is deceiving, he
doesn’t really hate anything very
much, but there is much good sense
in the comments on institutions,
transitory events and personages.
"The Iron Man in Industry,” by
Arthur Pound. In this book Mr.
Pound gives a calm discussion of the
industrial problem.
“In the Days of Poor Richard,” by
Irving Bachelier. This is a novel of
the founding of the republic—the
great event of our country's history.
“The Ladies,” by E. Barrington, is
a deft combination of imagination and
history, being a vocal interpretation
of charming women each in quaint
phraseology of her time, solving some
mystery which lingers around her
memory.
"Briary Bush,” by Floyd Dell, is a
story of modern marriage in which
two rebellious young lovers try to
keep their mutual freedom.
"The Judge,” by Rebecca West, has
as its theme a mother’s claims upon
the affection of her son in rivalry to
young love.
