This is probably the most talked-about book of the year. Tt is a comnlete and thrilling novel written by a little girl of nine who is now a woman of thirty.

It may be inter- esting to know that the original Daisy Ashford, now Mrs. Somebody Visitors, by or Other, has leaped into fame as a | result of her story, which she found in an old five-cent note-book of her childhood days, and is at present a popular lecturer in London. (2) Ramsey Milholland, by Booth Tarkington. This latest novel by the author of “Seventeen”, is not quite up to the mark of that masterpiece, but is, like all Tarkington’s books, worth reading. It deals with student life in a Middle Western State Col- a a a ES RE SE Have | for The Special Shelf for this week will contain a selection of | turalist.
