"PANDORA LA CROIX," by Gene
Wright, published by J. B. Lip
plncott Co. Philadelphia. Price

, . . 1 .. -L .
A story of a forgotten man on
a South Sea island, a girl whose
savage beauty vies with tigerish
cunning, a gang of habitues of Ta
hiti Toms aire, and the rise of the
soul of Pandora, called "Pan."
John Clay has a past of forgotten
history. Pandora has nothing but
primitive devotion, and as. these
two regenerate their lore the story
is filled with the wild abandon of
Jig southern location. You live
with the characters from the mo
derns of the English in India to
the primal beings of the South
Seas. Pandora develops the great
est thing in life and as that love
Is shown, the effect on the im
mobile John Clay is worthy of the
best affections. John Clay hates
almost consume hint but just how
these are changed to toleration
and ' then overcome by affection,
makes a story which. Is wholly
good reading.

PETER CLARK MACFARLANE
Author of Tongues of Flamo"
from a woodcut by W. FlVtcber Whit
Not the Northwest of trackless for
ests, snowshoes and moose Is that
of "Tongues of Flame," Peter Clark
llacfarlane's new novel, but the
Northwest as a region - where the
hunters are the great organizers of
Industry aad commerce and where
the. big game they hunt la the coun
try's rich natural resources. This
author's previous story, "Mao's
Country." showed him a writer of
human Insight., but in his latest
book the persons of the drama, par
ticularly the - hero and the two
heroines, are Involved la large dee.
Unlet which embrace - a whole
tribe a whole community.
His "Man Country," was a
masterpiece. Seldom does a sec
ond novel reach its height. Ton
gues of Flame." is Interesting, has
plenty of action, but Is not great
In the handling or its story. You
long for a touch of the genuine
disclosed in the former story. This
looks painfully like a "potboil
er." MacFarlane can write much
better fiction.
whose engineer waves at her and
whose life is a succession of hap
piness' from flowers and the ant-
mala of natures - pleasure. The
little girl is told several stories of
Granfathers prowess which are
based on fact, the preface tells us.,
and the whole is a delightful story
for little girls. '
"THE MEMOIRS OF, A LONDON
DOLL," edited by Cara Hunt
Published by the MacMtllan Co.,

A lovely fanciful story for the

century is well worth considera
tion. The child boy or gifl.who
enjoys such a story is having its
mind refreshed -with literature
which is always wholesome as well
as highly entertaining.
Incidentally,, this little story
was the first, reviewed by The
Story Book Lady Miss Louise Sea

"WHITE LIGHT NIGHTS." by 6,
O. Mclntyre. Published by the
Cosmopolitan Book Corporation,
New York.
' ' j i -
I walked into the Cosmopolitan
publicity office as O. O. Mclntyre
walked out and I did not recognize
him. I am sure that I ehall never
bo the same from this evasion!
As the reviewer says, "Mcln
tyre was born in Plattsburg. Mo.,
reared in Galipolis, Ohio, and is
the most typical New Yorker."
You have doubtless followed hisi
column in syndicate of New, York
as the small town sees it. It is
the heart of the peach without the
uncomfortable fuzz, the eoul of
the great city in its sordid, its
happy or its sensational intensity.
This book is a collection of the
stories which have appeared in the
magazines. ;
You will revel In his trip west.
even though he did have a Keith
vaudeville house In Chicago (and
the westerner knows that Keith
does not pass west of the Allegh-
anies.) He : tells of the man of
the street, the theatrical, the daz
zle of Broadway with the heart of
a small town reader. He tells you
New York as you think it might
be with the tinsel rubbed off.
There is no one like O. O. Mc
lntyre. He I writes 5 in his , own
style and you read and smile and
feel within your -heart of hearts
Thats the city as she ought to
be." : -
He tells of the hills of Kansas
City, as Swiss alpine driving, he
tells of his dog which taught him
many things, and the great bulk
of his stories lie right in New
York, the center of life the New
York which the westerner ' craves
as well as the life of the genuine
New Yorker.

"THE LURE OF MONTE. CAR
LO," by C. N. nnd A. M. Wil
liamson. Published by Double

Here is a book of the real Mon

flng chapter ..tells of the Isle . of
Monaco and ' its historical signifi

"THE CALLAHANS AND THE
. MURPHYS," by Kathleen Nor
ris. Published by Doubleday
Page & Co., New York. Price
$2 net. V . ,
You doubtless read of the Iniai-
. itable Ma Callahan in Mrs. Noris
former magazine stories. These
same stories are incorporated into
book form added with a few choice
Incidents.
It Is the same Ma Callahan
whose humor you loved, whose in
genuity you respected and whose
. wit you may have battled with.
1 She is as lovable a character as if
' to be found In magazine literature;
Her boys and girls,' their love af
fairs, their petty troubles and lift
anxieties, bring out the gold in Mi
Callahans character. The Mur
phys are neighbors Just as real
and as typical as their contempor.
aires. The stories are a delight
and you can roll the choice sayings
of Ma Callahan on yonr tongue
and find within them sayings of
sooth which can be readily adap
ted.
.You suffer with Annie In her
mistaken love, you cry with Ma
over Jims engagement; and you
, smile with the rise of Ma when
. the great moment of service re
turns. Each story is a gem of
character study, and the whole is
worthy of front line rank of short
stories. .
MY STORY I LIKE BEST." A
complimentary copy of the story
which the writer himself best
enjoys, by Edna' Ferber, Peter
Kyne, Irvin Cobb, Oliver Cur-wood-,
Meridith Nicholson and
H. O. Witmer. You may not
, agree with each as to it
, being his best, but the why of
ita writings adds a touch of the
ctory Itself, which makes the
volume of Intrinsic value.
