Mark Twain: a Biography
By Albert Bigelow Paine
Never, never, never, has there
been such extravagant praise,
such spendthrift acclaim of any
book. Of course it is the book of
the year, but the press seems to
speak of it as almost the book of
a hundred years. Huroor, inter
estingness, delightful style. fun,
history, adventure. travel, tlie so?
ciety of exalted personagcs and
unexalted?these are some of the
hundred angles by which thi>
book attracts. It makes a great
Christmas present?certainly thjB
most attractive present any book
shop ofTers?3 Volumcs.
The Net
By Rex Beach
A story so full of dramatic fire
th.it it 'fairly snaps and crackles.
Tenuer love, seintillating ijumor,
and the violencc of unbridlcd pas?
sion, course ncck and tieck
through every turbulent page.
Yet, when the tumult and the
shotiting die, one rcmembers only
the story of a love so strong and
pure and tender tnat it warms tho
very cuckles of the hcart.
The Financier
By Theodore Dreiser
Once in every few years a big
book, an untisual book. comes to
the surface. We believc Mr. Drei
ser's story of The Finmieier is
such a book. It is only fair to
say that it is almost brutal in its
naked picturing of the lust for
wealth, and the hunger for love.
It is not for those who fear the
fighting force of a strong man, nor
is it the'unfolding of a lovely life.
It is a story first, perhaps a great
lesson, too, but taken all in all?
its bigness, its insight into larger
phases oi our life- it seems des
tined to rank as one of the great
examples of modern iiction.

Although he has lived in nearly

Mr. Bennett approaches his sub

way?and with a full conscious"

our iports, our theatrcs, our
schools and colleges. Eatt and
