‘‘The Fear of Living’’ is the trans- 
lation of a work of fiction by Henry 
Bordeaux, a French novelist. ‘‘Ma- 
dame Guibert’’ is a character well 
worth knowing. The story is very pop- 
ular in France, being now in its 83d 
edition. 
‘<Patchwork Comedy,’’ by Humphry 
Jordon, author of ‘‘The Joyous Way- 
farer’’—is an attractive novel. The 
action in the story is swift. The char- 
acters are well drawn. The contrasting 
peculiarities of the English and French 
characters are well brought out. 
Readers who enjoyed ‘‘Polly of the 
Hospital Staff’? by Emma Dawd will 
be glad to renew their acquaintance 
with her in ‘‘Polly of Lady Gay Cot- 
tage.’’ She is just as bright and 
charming as ever. 
We have another story by Richard 
Pryce, author of ‘‘Christopher,’’— 
‘‘The Burden of a Woman.’’ The 
scene is laid in a small Welsh farming 
village. ‘‘Mary Redwing’’ is a char- 
acter that will command your love and 
respect. ‘‘Peter Davidson’’ illustrates 
the strong hold our old beliefs have up- 
on us. Let us hope that the reading 
of this story will help make us more 
charitable in passing judgment on 
others. 
““Judge not; the working of his brain 
And of his heart thou canst not see; 
What looks to thy dim eyes a stain, 
In God’s pure light may only be 
A scar, brought from some well fought 
field, 
Where thou wouldst 
yield.’’ 
‘‘The Browns,’’ by J. E. Buckrose, 
author of ‘‘A Bachelor’s Comedy’’ and 
‘Down Our Street’ is an amusing 
story depicting the comedy of domestic 
only faint and 
life in a small English town. You 
will be glad to meet Mrs. Brown 
and her daughter Margaret. ‘‘Sally 
Ca*tleton Southerner’’ by Crittendon 
Marriott is a story of the South—one 
that you will enjoy reading as Sally 
is a very loveable character. The time 
is that of the Civil War, the place Vir- 
ginia. Sally falls in love with a spy 
in the Union Army, but then read the 
story and you will know all about it. 
William J. Locke, author of ‘‘The 
Beloved Vagabond,’’ ‘‘Septimus,’’ 
‘The Glory of Clementina’’ and many 
other novels, has added another to 
the long list. ‘‘Stella Maris’’ is a 
worthy successor to the others. You 
will surely fall in love with ‘‘Stella’’ 
if you read the book. 
Boys who were so fond of ‘‘All 
Among the Loggers’’ and ‘‘ With Pick- 
pole and Peavy’’ by C. B. Burleigh 
will no doubt enjoy the new one in this 
series, ‘‘The Young Guide.’’ It tells 
all about a vacation trip down in 
Maine. 
‘“Social Welfare in New Zealand— 
the result of twenty years of progres- 
sive social legislation and its sign- 
ificance for the United States and other 
Countries’’ by Hugh H. Lusk, formerly 
member of the New Zealand Parliament, 
is a book that would do any citizen 
good to read. New Zealand has proba- 
bly tried more social experiments than 
any other colony. Much is told about 
the results of these experiments in this 
work. ‘‘Industrial Disputes,’’ ‘‘The 
Regulation of Labor,’’ ‘‘Old Age Pen- 
sions,’’?’ ‘‘Woman’s Suffrage’’ and 
‘*New Zealand’s State Socialism’’ are 
headings of interesting chapters.
