The author of this book was a lover children, and he evidently knew how to win them.

THE DEFINITE OBJECT. By Jeffery Farnol. 374 pages. Price, $1.50. The Musson Book Co., To- ronto, publishers. : "In the writing of books," Me-Fars nol says in the opening paragraph of his latest volume, "as all the world knows, two things are above all other ithings essential--the one is to know exactly when and where to leave off, and the other to Be caually certain when and-where. to begin," 7) He follows this precept faithfully in all his books, and not least in this one. {t has a good beginning--that is, it grips our interest at the very start-- and it ends most satisfactorily. It would perhaps be too much to say that, "The Definite Object" is the best book he has written. Those who read and-so enjoyed "Tlie Broad Highway" wouldn't believe it any- way But this new novel of his 1s certainly a good one, Opinion seems to he unanimous regarding the merits of this story, and it is evident it will fad another outstanding sulcess to Farnol's credit. With fine generosity Farnol has given to his latest hero, handsome, whimsical Geoffrey Ravenslee, mil- fionaire, first-class fighting man, good comrade and very periect Sate knight, the two roles of adventurer ang fairy prince combined in one. True, he has to be satisfied with a costume not altogether picturesque, for, deserting Georgian England ar" 'the forests and castles of medize. times, Mr. Farnol has placed the scenes in New York city and the sum- mer of 1910, When the tale opens Geoffrey Ravenslee, 35 and bored, is wondering what to do with himself, disgusted with his aimless existence, longing to have a "definite object" in his life. But he scarcely expected to find that definite object through the assistance of a burglar; nevertheless, it was with a burglar--a novice of a . acted JOAN W.PATRICK et: Sewing Machines, Cases, ks Saws Umbrellas, Suit xl and refitted, wrs honed; All makes burglar, it is trise, aged only 17 that he went down to the tenement known as Mulligan's, and situated in that delightful part of New York called "Hell's Kitchen."

Had not the soft voiced, good-looking debonair Geol- frey possessed the skill and strength of a well-trained pugilist, his career at Mulligan's would have heen both brief and inglorious The child Hazel, the tragedy of poor little Maggie Finlay, and the agonized terror of the boy who for a while believed himself a murderer, give the needed contrast to the otherwise very cheerful story. Cheerful, not only because everything fs so beautgally arranged at the end, but because it 1s written with a whim- sical and infeceious gayety, a light- ness of touch and blitheness of spirit which are ouite exhilarating. It is all absurdly, fantastically romantic, but very delightful. ANNE'S HOUSE OF DREAMS, By Mrs. L. M. Montgomery. 346 pages. Price, $1.50. McClelland, Goodchild & Stewart, Toronte, pub- lishers. This popular Canadian author has created a very human and a very lov- able character in Anne Shirley. It is a character that will appeal particu- larly to girls. The new volume will undoubtedly be "just loved" by all those whoihave followed the fortunes of the heroine ever since the success of "Anne of Green Gables," In this book Anne makes a number of new friends She marries Gilbert Shir- ley, and moves with him to another part of the province of Prince Edward Island. Anne knows perfect happi- ness in the little cottage which is her "house of dreams." She moves about in a small circle of acquain- tances, and becomes in course of time the mother of two children; 'though the first of the babies dies.. Anne n- terests herself in a very mided crowd of men and women. There is a man- hater, to whom has been given the ap- propriate name of Cornelia, with its suggestions of stridency, but in the end Cornelia hauls down her colors and 'marries one of the hated sex against whom she has lone been rail- ing. The man whom she marries 1s somewhat of a crank also. Besides that he is an ardent Liberal. Hav, ing taken & vow to allow his hair to grow until the Conservatives are driven from power, he does not shave for twenty years, and wears what Cor- nelia considers an unsightly door-mat about his head and face. The kindly old _lighthouse-keeper provides pleas- ar' moments, and another iniéresting cb acter i8 a gir! of mystery. In the end the tragedy that threatens her life is avoided. Mrs. Montgomery introduces these people into her tale in a leisurely fashion, and they pass along their way, supplying episodes and incidents of quite domestic bliss. This story, like others by this author, is a cheerful, simple tale, revealing pleasant pictures' of conventional life and everyday events, : ON THE EDGE OF THE WAR ZONE. By Mildred Aldrich. 311 pages. Price, $1.25. The Musson Book Co, To- ronto, publishers. * In June, 1914, the author of this book .a well-known Boston woman, bought a house in the Marne valley, and settled down to enjoy the remaiu- der of her years in peace and comfort. A few weeks later she found herself in the very centre of the battle of the Marne, The final British artillery stand was made just « behind her house, and it was at her own gates that the advance of the Uhlans was definitely turned back. Miss Aldrich made good use of her opportunities in giving to the world that charming bool | Hilltop on the Marne." re- on this page some viewed months ago. The present volume, "On, the Hage of the War Zone," is the long- awaited continuance of the former story. Like that charming volume, it is a collection of letters written to a friend in America; the first is dated Sept. 16th, 1914, the last April 8th 1947. The book thus covers the war from the time when the German inva- sion had been turned back to the mo- ment when the United States entered the war.

"You may know a finer way to go. I do not Surely, since Death is, it is better than dying of old age be- tween clean sheets." | me Lack of Literary Leaders. Writing to the Book Review Edi- tor of the Whig (who had reviewed séveral of his volumes), a noted Amer- ican author and essayist, with Cana- dian antecedents, asks the pertinent question: "Why don't you look up the literary sons of Kingston, and try to encour- age boys to develop the cultural life? Sir Gilbert Parker and other well- known authors came from the Kings. ton district. The cultural product of the United States and Canada is our lowest exhibit. We have fine edi- tors, who are busy men, and are most appreciative, We hate great univer- sities, but they do not cast and in- spirit genius; * otherwise we would bave several milliof Dickens and Burns in Canada and the United States. The people's support, shown by their spiritual attitude and their material support in buying books, alone makes authors. We have no authors of power and leadership, pro- ven by the fact that no standard book sells over 1,000 in Britain, 2,000 in the United States, and several hun- dred in Canada. During the past few decades, the people rather demand autos, fine raiment, etc. That is why we have had no Thackeray, only one Kipling, only one Burns, only one Keats, only one Macaulay (and the government hdd to assist and get Macaulay a 'job' in India). That's' why we had no Anglo-American- French naval defensive alliance--be- cause it- was impossible to stir the people and harder still to awaken the so-called leaders who occupied, but did not fill, the offices of state. Maga- zine publishers were dead; preachers were dead; most colleges dead. The newspapers only were alive, states- manlike and generous, Snobbishness prevailed. Many people asked: 'How much money has he? instead of asking, 'Is he right?» * "The people and business. men are good-at heart, but they have had bo gus leaders. Hereafter, the soldiers Pwilk demand teal' leadership, real stdtesmanship, honest administra- tion." There is much of solid, unassailable truth in this communication. . The Anglo-Saxon nations had waxed fat generation of free perity, and had lost sight of the things worth while. They had reach- ed that point where "wealth accumu- lates and men decay." Materialism had superceded religion; to secure and maintain the pleasures and luxuries of life had become of far more impor tance than the upbuilding of charac- ter and the saving of one's soul. The lessons of history, and of all' litera- ture in fact, were unheeded; the church failed, and failed utterly, to hold mankind to a sense of its duties and responsibilities. Unexampled prosperity brought about the nation's undoing. Man envied his fellow man; nation mistrusted nation. Only by fire could they be purged--and the fire came, as always and ever it must. To-day the forces of right are ranged in a gigantic struggle against the forces of might. Until this con- flict is decided, nothing else matters, Our correspondent enquires, why do we not encourage writers and poets? Why do we neglect the voice of the seer or the dreamer? - Simply be- cause these are brave, heroic days, and only brave, heroic souls are re- quired. True, the war has produced great poets like Rupert Brooke and others, and their message has been an inspiration and a guide. But blows, not words, are needed now. When "the captains and the kings depart" we shall welcome their ad- vent once more. We shall need them to sing of the glories of battles won or lost of the splendid courage and invincible steadfastness shown by our boys at the first battle of Ypres--a long heralded in song and story, be-- come commonplace and insignificant. A great epic is still to be written of that undying story of how the Cana- dians barred the gate to Calais against overwhelming odds. When this great struggle is ended, conditions will be different. As qur correspondent says, the soldiers will demand real leadership, real states- manship. Shoddiness and snobbish- ness will he done away with, things only will 'count. i British SATURDAY, NOVEMBER during 'a century of peace and pros- |i battle beside which those of the past, |! - PAGES 13-20 THIRD SECTION pm Special Term Offer Whereby You May Obtain On Payment of 2 Small Cash Sum, an Aeolian -Vocalion And a Supply of Records.
