?N THERBflEWEirs TABLE ?BrpnthH in Dixie." By Sarah Johnson Cock", of Virginia. Introduction by Ilnrry StIUwell An? drews, and Illustrations by Duncan Smith, of Now York, formerly of tho University of Virginia. K r. Dutton and Company, of New York, publishers. This hook embodies n most valuable collection of "folk talcs of tho South." Tho author Is a Georgian by birth, hut, 1 since her marriage to LaiCtan Cocke.,' of Roanoke, Va.. has made 'her homo ! In this Slate, and largely enhanced | her reputation for writing, a reputa? tion llrst established by her in Atlanta, where she edited a magazine thnt was a great success. Harry Rtlllwell Andrews, In his hap? py intro<lnctioii to Mrs. Cocke'a book, says: "when Joel Chandler Harris de? veloped tho 'Brer Rabbit' stories, it seemed ns though future work along folk lore lines must lie In refining, for the ore was all in sight. "But there was one load almost en? tirely forgotten or undervalued In the ??ramble for literary wealth, and this lead was into the Southern nursery where tho real black mammy reigned. With the better llchls before us now. wo reallr.o that the very heart centre of Southern civilization had not been touched. "Mrs. Co.-ke. in the charming stories contained In this volume, is tho happy pre-emptor of the new find. Every Foutherner, old enough, will reeogrilste the absolute truthfulness of tho scenes and methods therein embalmed, and applauded fhe faithfulness with which She has reproduced that difficult po? tency, the gentle, tender, playful, elu? sive, young-old. child-Wise mind of tho African nurse In the white family." No figure In the life of the Old South more richly deserves perpettm tion In literature than tho negro mammy who tells the folk-lore tales In "Pi\ie By .paths." The echoe.? from childhood's, days, heard In the messages from tihe roor-ter telephone, from the haunt of old ?man Gully, from the nnnals of Jack 'n-T-intern and the plow worm, from Miss Race Boss's party, Mr. Tall Tine's Christmas tree and other kin? dred suh.leers. linger lone In the mem? ories of those who re.all a mammy's watchful care and responsiveness, when little ehlldren gathered at her knee and demanded "Tell no some tales, mammy, and make haste before t'he dustman comes." The tales In "Pixie Bypaths" are all entertaining. They are full of imaclnntlen and Mid in .lust the way to appeal mn?l strongly to the minds of crown people and ehildren alike And It Is not often that the mean? ing of tales Is so well brought out by illustration, for few authors are for? tunate enough to have nn Illustrator *sn fully In sympathy with tho spirit of their writing as Mrs Cocke evident? ly has In Duncan Smith. The 1o|nt result produced by author and artist Is one that will make! endless amusement for many house? holds during ehe npproa.-hlne Christ? mas season. The publication is spe? cially apt as to time, and the volonte will be a most welcome addition to the holiday output, which is already up pouring in great force. "When No Man Pursucth."

The story Is of Interest through its constant progression through n series of thrilling situations j to its final climax which is tragic and painful to a degree. The mystery element In the -hook rentre? around n family lately estab? lished In a rural English community. The family Is composed of a man. a woman, who claims to he his sister, and his wife, who is an Invalid. A young doctor, a resident of the neigh? borhood, a man about to he married 1o a charming English girl in close jtroxlmltv to the mysterious family.

"that It is a little novel which Is full of psychological and so- j Clological Interest, but which Is so fascinating In Its siyle anil so Interest? ing In Its theme, that It Is only after I we have laid it aside that we realize , its depth and Us meaning.

I>r .Morrison, who -has had such a j work In mind for a number of years, has collected ? great amount of data ! concerning every phase of th* college from Its beginning, one hundred and i thirty-five years ago. This college really has a history and that it should bo reduced lo writing and thus pre? served and made accessible, is not only important lo the college Itself, but 10 the public at large. So conspicuous ! n part has ilampden-Sidney played In the life and affairs of the State and the nation, thai Its history will he of gen- J eral Interest and value. A scholar, a great student, one who i delights in historical research, accurate j to a degree, having the skill to ar-1 range his material in its logical and proper sequence and withal possessing striking literary finish, no one could be better qualified for th? undertak? ing than I >r Morrison Moreover, from his life and assocla- | Hon. he Is far from n stranger to his j subject.

I By Lucas M:illet Harper and ' Bt'othcrs, of New Voi k. publishers, i j i i hoi i \ closing paragraph of Lucas Mal- | let's Introduction t<> her latest novel! in calculated to stimulate tn.. curlosl-1 ly of many renders. The paragraph i ?.ivs "The lamented disappearance of | Li Glocohda' from the Salon Carre of the Louvre took place w>hen the whole of my manuscript was already in t he I hands of Hie printers May I cn-; press a pious hope that, this most j Seductive or women will he safely re- j Stored to her former dwelling-place \ before any copies of my novel are In i the hands of the public?" i The character of Adrian Savage, fori ! whom the book Is named. Is drawn! ! with nit little subtlety and power. ? Horn of an English father and a I Fren 'i mother, he reflects In all he I I says and does his mingled heredity, ! possessing (he grace and de]|cacy of the Latin nature, tempered by s re serve and self-control which mark I l.im as Anglo-Saxon In parf. The hook, a* Oral sight, seems to have a mnrvelously slight plot, .but closer reading shows the close temper I of II? construction and brings out (he 1 fact, that the admirable manner In which its different elements are welded together, renders less starkly apparent the motive which is the un? derlying: and basic power of the whole. It Is thus unusually consistent. Tho other characters In the ?book are really the hook. Oebrlellc St Legor stands In it for the most exquletto typo of Parisian womanhood. beautiful, in? tellectual, a devoted mother nnd daughter, yet a woman who cannot forbear tho exercise of t'he Influence which hor beauty enables her to exert, ' until she Is brought sharply face to faco with the harm sho hna done a man thoughtlessly but none the less I cruelly.. This man la a strange per i sonaltty. a genius on tho artistic side of 'his nature, but so cynical and lack? ing In balance, so apt to repel where he would most desire to attract, that when ho crosses the dividing line be? tween sanity and Insanity, It would seem that he has merely followed out an Inevitable trend. Tho deBcrlptl/m <>f the studio of this man. none Pas by name, with a gray lemur sitting before the file In a senrlet-palnted cane chair, gives the keynote to the impulses which harry and drive the master of the studio. Vet this man could paint Gabr-lelle St. I^egor as "tho Madonna of the Future, with a noble going forth to meet fate In her ex prcsston and bearing, as on? conse. etat-d. nt once tho embodiment and exponent of some compelling Plea, the leader of some momentous movement, the elect spokeswoman of a now and tremendous age." There is nothing of the "Madonna of tho Future" in poor Joanna Smyrth waito. who is too 'heavily shackled by the conventional gyves which weigh lior down from birth, to over come In? to a genuine conception of herself nnd her possibilities as a woman. Sho sup? plies an element of painful tragedy, the piMfulness of her starved woman? hood contrasting sharply with the shallowness of her sister's Instituts and the depravity of her brother's taslos. Joseph Challoncr figures in "a strategic movement" thai it would be well for all women to road and learn how one woman failed In a desperate effort to elujle pursuing, self-created fate. Otherwise eh Is man's type Is. unhappily, too common to entitle him to the distinction.

Howard Chandler Christy has made the color Illustrations for "Havoc" which has been Justly classed as "a brilliant and engrossing story of love, mystery nnd International intrigue" In the story an American journalist nnd an Englishman in tho secret ser? vice of hU country find themselves de? barred from a royal conclave held in Vienna, between the Emperors of tier many and Austria and tho Czar of Russia. The American, by. a happy trick of fate, comes Into possession of a state paper containing the results of the mooting of royalties.

Given motives like these to Inspire a war of diplomatic cleverness and a background like London, and it may be well Imagined that an end may be reached only after a series of absorb? ing and romantic situations.
