THE CARAVAN MAN
By ERNEST GOODWIN
An artist tired of painting women, women, women,
steals off in a gypsy caravan to lead a gypsy life.
But just as he begins to forget the world of work
and women, Rose flashes across his path Rose, the
vicar's granddaughter, all stiff and prim without, all
a-tingle with youth and life within. And such a
madcap chase she leads him, and such amazing
complications and adventures ensues as you seldom
find between book covers.

Byways in Southern Tuscany
By Katharine Hooker
Every foot of Tuscan soil is redolent of memories, and Mrs.
Hooker not only gives us charming notes of travel and en
lightens us as to contemporary conditions, but rehearses for us
a centuries-long historic drama of fascinating though often
tragic detail. The volume is abundantly illustrated from photo
graphs reproduced with a brilliancy that the half-tone process
rarely achieves and also by delightfully artistic sketches and
decorations.
With 60 full-page and many other illustrations. SS.50 net.
On Our Hill
By Josephine Daskam Bacon
Interpretation of child nature to adult comprehension has al
ways, perhaps, been Mrs. Bacon's most successful vein, and her
latest book is beyond question the most adequate and striking
expression of her many-sided talent. In describing what no
doubt are real children and real adventures and incidents. Mrs.
Jtacon is eminently the imaginative artist creating her picture
and .not copying her material.

Those who reieled In "The tlrond

beaux of her social circle. They write
poems to her and ply bet; with pretty
compliments, when they lire not think

RETALIATION

Has Seen the. Effects of
Prussian Brutality
Arthur Stanley Illggs' "With Three
Armies" has but little In common with,
tho nicrago war book. It is neither
a mere descriptive account of what the
author saw nnd heard In war-torn
Franco and Uelglum, nor an abstract
discussion of principles and theories.
The author, a writer whose faculties of
observation have been highly developed,
not only presents a ill Id picture of
the material aspect of conditions at
and near the front, hut he also under
takes to Interpret the significance of
these things for those who cannot see
and hear them for themselves at first
hand.
In telling flashes he relents the spirit
animating Hrltlsh, French and Ameri
cans, He emphasizes the completeness
nf tho destiuctlon wrought by the In
lader. Hut he docs what Is of vastly
greater Importance In analyzing the
ps)chology of the German soldier, nnd
If the statement seems Incredible, there

History of Tammany Hall
Conditions In Philadelphia are such
that thoe who are curious about the
depths to which politicians can sink
ought to find Gustavus M)ers's "History
of Tammany Hall" most Interesting
reading nowadays The book was first
printed In 1001. No established publish
ing house would Issue It nnd It was
privately printed It soon disappeared
from the hook stores and for ten )ears
It was almost Impossible to buy a copy.
An attempt to secure Its reprinting was
made about five ears ago, but it failed.
The book has recently been btought out
by Honl S. Llierlght. a new publishing
house, which seems to haie considerable
courage.
The book Is a faithful record of the
corruption of the famous Democratic
political organization of Xew York, from
Its organization Up to the present time.
Xew chapters haie been added to bring
Il up to date. There is no more illum
inating story of the depths to which
piedatory politicians will sink than Is
contained between Its covers. Some Phila
delphia politicians seem to be using the
Tammany methods. Those who have
higher standards will find It worth while
to examine the eildence that the man
who Is In politics for what there Is In
It for his own pocket does not care
whether he s called a Republican or a

ANEW novel br Arnold Bennett Is always an event of tho first
magnitude In the world of fiction. We have been led to ex
pect from him books subtly different from those of other writ
ers, but In THE PRETTY LADY, published recently by Ocorjro II.
Poran Ccrmpany, he has tos-sed at us, at It were, a creation nmazlnKly
different from the meticulous chronicles of the Arnold Bennett we
thought we knew. A talc of three women whose affections are wound
about the name man, we nre confronted, none tho less, with nn astound
ing picture of a London where the enamelled crust of convention-)
has cracked Into fissures under the train of war, revealing strange
glimpses of the underworld. No pretty story this for those unwilling
to look conditions squarely In the fnce, but rough and vivid sketches
of human nature In a society already apparently In the throes of up
heaval. It Is the talc of women loosed from Immemorial bonds; of
courtesans who crave gentility and of fine ladles who npe the
courtesan; of women of all sorts and conditions drifting Into war work
to relieve their starved emotions. The scene Is laid In the London of
the upper classes where houses are screened from Zeppelin nt tacks
except for the servants' quarters; but none the less docs It give the
impression of a city brooded over by an Impending doom. A fascinat
ing and most unnsual book, and a writer whose dispassionate narra
tive Is as far removed from cynicism ns It Is from sentimentality.
THE author of "The Pretty Lady" would probably be the last to
claim that his iteople were tvplcal even nf London, but Dorothy
Canfield's HOME FIRES IN FRANCE is so charged with pas
sionate sympathy for a land unmercifully mutilated by warring na
tions an to serve almost as tx mouthpiece. Her stories cannot help
but strengthen the purpose of every American to make a swift end to
such brutalities, and, at the same time, shame us for our lmpn
tlence with the petty Inconveplcnces of wnrtlrae over here; but to
say that the book was written with n purpose is to arouse unjust
apprehension In the mind of the long suffering render of ostensible
fiction. These are' not just stories In the journalistic sense, they
are real stories, dramatic and absorbing; or else keen studies of in
teresting personalities, transmuted through the art of a writer whose
humnn appeal and whose sense of humor have made her always n
delight but whose technique has, in this volume, reached a sure pin
nacle. They range from the almost unbearable tragedies of homes
and lives wantonly laid waste to the little amenities of war work In
France, as experienced by one who has spent over two years there
in it service; and there Is not one among them which will not bear
reading nnd rereading. Henry Holt nnd Company are fortunnto
enough to be the publishers.
FnW heroes of this war have so stirred the imagination as Guyne
mer. that Ace of Ares, whose spectacular victories were fit
tingly commemorated bv his enhrlnement In the Pantheon. In
GEORGES GUYNEMER. KNIGHT OF THE Ant. by Henri Bor
deaux, we have a story of the life of the greatest flying man the world
has ever known, told with vividness and poetic chnrm by an estab
lished writer whose long Intimacy with the Ouyncmer family has
rendered him particularly fitted for his task. It has been done Into
English by Louise Morgan Sill, whose translation--; from the French
are well known for their delightful literary style; and furnished with
an Introduction by Theodore Itoosevelt. The Yale University Press
has decorated the volume with n colored frontispiece portrait of Guy
ncmer, engrnved on wood especially for it by Rudolph Ruzlkn,
and four half-tone reproductions from the famous Fnrre pnlntlngs
of battle-scenes In midair, adding to our pleasure In nn adequate
book on a superman whose extraordinary feats read like those of a
hero of olden time.
IN A REPORTER AT ARMAGEDDON, just published by D. Apple
ton and Company, we have a most Interesting account of a re
cent trip through France, Rwlt7erlnnd and Italy by that most
Jnterestlng of war correspondents. Will Irwin. His work does not
attempt to deal with military affairs: it is a series of impressions of
the social nnd economic phases of life abroad as seen through the
eyes of lioth soldiers and civilians. It is marked by nn extraordinarily
sympathetic understanding of the people Involved and written in
a' simple. Intimate style which gives vividness to the narrative. Mr.
Irwin had unnsual opportunities to observe conditions In the sections
where the war has been cnrrleel on with the greatest fury, hut it is
the human element in his work which gives It primarily Its value.
FOU those that wish to forget that such a thing ns war exists,
Dpdd, Mead and Company hnvc provided a now novel by the
author of "My Little Sister." Img before the appearance
of that tragic and unforgettable tale Elizabeth Itoblns had established
herself so firmlv thnt any offering from her pen Is assured of nn
eager public. CAMILLA, her latest book, Is a stitdv of the divorce
problem in many of Its manifestations, hut especially ns Jt affected
a young and beautiful wnmnn whose husband found her formidable
In her Innocence. The contrast between the Amerlcnn habit of
promiscuous divorce and the illicit Intercourse openly tolernted in
Its stead in English country-house circles Is frankly treated by a
writer whose candor never descends Into the objectionable.
