The idea is to intercourse and understanding. er still in the busin ss world. Bh t he book itself is a review of Can-, ada. It tells the story .f {ts growth lan achievement, its relation to the British Empire, {ts form of govern- ment, its natural and developed re- sources, its home and foreign trade, | its national finances, its banking and , currency system, and its shipping. work of the Dominion during the war is reviewed in full and facts and fig- ures interesting to Canadians even, are given about the forces contribu- ited by Canada. both men and | money, during the recent conftict | The work of Canada along naval | lines also, information not generally available or known, is given in full in this valuable litle volume. Few | people are aware of the fact that at the termination of hos ies in 1918, Canada had a naval force of her own . | consisting of over seven hundred | officers and about five thousand men. | Of course, this is small, but when the | number of men serving in the British ing : 3 | Navy is taken into consideration and {the small population of Canada allow- {ed for, the representation is very | creditable. A copy of the book has been sent [to the presidents of over 4,000 of the | most prominent banks in the United | States, with the idea of showing the leaders of the American - financial world how a closer and more friend- ly intercourse will berof mutual bene- | fit to the countries. ; As the volume stands it is of great { value to Canadians as well as io | their friends across the border. It is refreshing in that it appreciates | to the full the tremendous farces not yet releaséd in the Dominion and | points out how each country can best | serve itself by cultivating the other. | Without doubt the continent of North | America is the land of the future and will one day practically control tne | affairs of the world. It is then nec- essary for the good of the world that | the two big factors in North America should co-operate. A PRIVATE IN THE GU ARDS. | | By Stephen Graham. 340 pages. | Price $2.50. The Macmillan Com- | pany of Canada, Toronto, Pub- | . lishers, : | Graham served eighteen months in the ranks of the Guards. He de- scribes the social life and the spirit in these historic regiments of the British army. The Bill Browns are the Grenadiers, the Jocks are the Seots Guards, the' Taffies are the Welsh Guards, the Micks are the Irish, and the Coalies are the Cold- stream. Among the rank and file they are only referred to by their nicknames. So also in this book. An intense rivally reigned among these regiments, and comparsions were nowhere more odious. The presence of the young Prince of Wales in the Grenadiers no doubt gave that regiment more prestigeg but the Scots Guards yielded to none. The record. of each and all for the four years of conflict was most -re- markable. Some stirring details of that record are given tn this book. The author dwells mors upon the men than upon the war. To quote: We had amongst us a number of those American volunteers, tue ad- vance party of America's great man- hood, who were feted in London in 1917. "Fitz" of Virginia, and "Red" and H---- who yearnéd to. charge with the Guards, and '"'Gurt" who died through meinisterin; t¢ a fallen comrade, and B----, the Hamlet of St. Louis who was always being pun- ished for talking too much, and "Will" who would 'rather take the medicine of punishment than pay in coin, all were very fine fellows full of character and interest. Two of these boys died, all shone one way or another, all suffered. The author tells us something of | the drastic discipline maintained in | the Guards. He declares that if all {had been trained like the Guards {the Germans would have been de- | feated earlier. Here is a little in- | cident of the barrack scquare, with | the drill sergeant speaking, or rather barking: "What's the | dier?" | "Obedience. What is it?" "Obedience, sergeant." "Well, mind you do.

He was not afraid because he had the army behind him, and it was no use saying a word mn reply. Some weeks later a Canadian backswoods- man was brought straight from his native haunts to this barracks 'and was addressed in the same way. He flared up, and "replied; "You can speak like that to Britishers if 'you choose, but you're not going to pass it off on a Canadian. I didn't come four thousand miles to be treated worse nor a dog." And he offered to fight. But the sergeant's course was quite simple. He called for an és- the ariny cort, and the recalcitrant recruit was | marched to the guard-room. There the Canadian tore the buttons off his tunic and stamped on them, and fought a sergeant of thé guard and was thrown into a cell, He deserted later, but was recaptured, 'and soon had him "eating out No, no, when you THE MAN 'WHO FOUND HIMSELF. By Margaret and H. De Vere Stac. poole. The MacMillan Co., To- ronte. Price $2. Imagine your crotchety old uncle suddenly *'getting gay" at the age of sixty-five. Picture one of the fore- most and most respected barristers of London and all England arrested for poaching. Think of A sober and re- speoted English gentleman of three- score and five years, suddenly found in a notorious cabaret, dressed in a light gray suit, purple socks, white shoes, red cravat, straw ha! with striped band, carrying a tasselled walking stick, flirting with every girl near him, and all the time gloriously drunk. These are only some of the situations which arise in this clever sketch by the Stacpooles. Simon Pettigrew was a well-known lawyer in modern London, who, in his daily habits, clung to the tradi- tions and almost to the fashions of the Victorian days of his youth, forty years before. Although apparently keeping to himself without taking any part in social life, and although he kept his offices in a style that was years out of dat#, Simon stil] had more clients than he could handle. He knew everything about everybody who was anybody in England. Fam- {ly skeletons were all in his daily business. Therefore he was at many time invaluable as the trusted ad- viser to members of some of the greatest families in the country, and prospered according to such a posi- tion, Unfortunately, however, Simon be- came afflicted with a curidus malady. This took him into its care for about a month in every year and made him feel and act as he had done forty vears before, in the rather wild days of his youth. Under its influence he would desert his usual life and haunts with a goodly sum from his bank, would bly a whole new outfit of the latest things in clothes and outfittings, engage a suite at the most fashionable hotel he could find, and then go forth from his newly estab- lished base to paint the town of Lon- don a bright red. i Into his train he gathered his wor- ried young nephew, Bobby Raven- shaw, Captain Pugeot of the Guards, Julia Delyse, an authoress, Mme, | | | | | | CWVAS ( Incorporated v Next General Meeting Monday, December 6(h, 1920 only uine Aspirin, --the Aspirin by physicians for over nine.

By Arthur Beverley Baxter, 338 | pages. McClelland & Stewart, Toronto, Publishers. Baxter is a young Canadian who has achieved the remarkable disttne- tion of capturing the reading publie | of Oreat Britain. The Bookman, of | Lornidon, says he has a.charm of style, | vivid descriptive power, and, what js { much more precious, a very search- | | Ing knowledge of humanity. The | present volume includes five short | | stories of love and adventure, "The Blower of Bubbles" tells the story of that charming, delightful character, Basil Norman, a modern Puck in many ways, of his pre-war experiences and how they and the f fact that he had a weak heart domi- {nated his lifc, took him Into the | | reat war. It describes how he came | j out of the grim conflict helpless, yet i j the happiest man in the world, with | | that broadness gf vision characteris- | tic of the pringipléon which our new world must be%built. y { "Mr. Craighouse, New York, Sat- | irist," tells of a young newspaper | | man from New York who went to | | England to write up a series of sat- | irical articles on the people there. Then the war broke out, and he saw" the true heroic England that always lay underneathh her staid exterior, | 80 that he tore up tme articles that were to hold her up to scorn and he | himself did his bit for her great | cause. \ | "Petite Simunde". is the tale of Capt.

In their case they had taken the step be- fore and had suffered and their, or rather her, doubts and misgivings about the second trial of married life can easily be forgiven, Into their little plan, which in- volved a stay of-two months at the same 'summer resort without any other recogniti... that that usual be- tween distant acquaintances, stepped people with post-matrimonial trou- bles, and ' others with no serjous t'oubles at all. A business-driven husband who repented just at the time when his wife had resolved that his neglect was caused by another woman, had betaken himself to the | same resort in a fit Bf. rage. His | wife, to make sure that she was right, followed him. Curiously enough the | Robert of the story ran into the dis- contented wife, while Alice proved to | be an old friend of the neglect 1 hus- | band.

In the end he was | rather discontented but it was worth | while to have even the great Winkler baffled--when it helped in reuniting three couples who had every reason | { | | i | | | in the world to be happy. The title at once impressed the reader as one of these "hand-of-fate" | affairs but rapidly turns out to be | more the hand of humor and of love. | THE OLD HUMANIZIES AND THE | NEW SCIENCE. Price, $1.25. | By Sir William Osler, ! Toronto, pub- | Thomas Allen, lisher, . This is a production of that gifted | and beloved Canadian physician's in- | augural address as president of the British Classical Association, which proved to be a classic worthy of pre- servation in permanent form. Init | Sir Willlam takes account of stock {of the humanjties and of science fol- | lowing the war, and explains the in- | terdependence of the 'two branches {of learning. The freshness, vigor and wisdom of this last book by one of our greatest modern thinkers makes this a volume sure to ve widely dis- cussed. It is full of learning, of humor, of feeling, of eloquence and it | contains suggestions of real weight | with regard te the inter-connection of science and the humanities. One cannot read it without peing impress- ed by his width of outlook, by his easy mastery of great tracts of litera- ture and learning, by his all-embrac- ing humanity in the widest sense of the terh. It should tend to make many students of science anxious to extend their knowledge of classical literature, Osler himself was a well- nigh perfect example of the union of science and the humanities, which to some is the ideal of educational pro- gress, and his address embodies the whole spirit of this ideal.
