Bethany, where Jesus loved to be in the home of Martha and Mary. In the closing hours of His life He found in thgir hospitality blessings of the home life, which He had been deprived of during His pub- lic ministry, and Nasareth was the Master's home after His return from Egypt up to His baptism by John. ‘These two homes connected with the 1ife of Christ, and the home of Tim- othy furnish us the foundation for our studies concerning the most im- portant Tocial institution and the earliest established by Jehovah for the training and developing of char- acter. Bethany was the home of hos- pitality. Nasareth molded the Mas- ter's personality. Lystra trained Timothy for Christian service. Samyel Smiles has well said: “From that source (the home, b)e it pure or impure, issue principles and max- ims that govern society. Law itselt is but the reflection of homes. The tin- lest bits of opinion sown in the minds of chijdren in private life afterward issue forth to the world and become its public opinion, for nations a: gathered out of nurseries, and they who hold the leading strings of chil- dren may even exerci power than those wh nz"- of government,, It is in t! order of nsture that domestic life should be preparatory to social, and that the mind and cnaracter should b formed in the home.

She saw that His spirit need- ed to be ministered unto more than the body. She put, as we all ought to put it, the spiritual first. Worship and the study of God’s worq should be placed in every home before the demands for one’s daily food. The Christian family is revealed by its attitude toward Jesus. He is the cen- ter in, for and by whom they live in the home. The fourfold development of Jesus, who grew in the Nazareth home, phy- sically, mentally, socially and spirit- ually, is the ideal toward whic‘:: all desire that their children may de- velop.

AMERICAN FOOTPRINTS IN PARIS. By Francois Boucher and Frances Wilson Huard. New York: George H. Doran Company. A novel and admirable guide book. Imagine yourself, an American, in Paris for the time being. You find yourself, by chance or otherwise. in some street, any street. The book in hand gives you the name of that street, standing in an alphabetical list, with the division of Paris to which it belongs. A touch of history places the orgin and character of this street in the growth of the city. Within the street the book points out this housge or that, this site or that, which pos sesses éither general historic interest or holds some. special appeal to the American. For instance, on the first page, stands the name of Rue d’An- jou. The guide, in reference to it, states, briefly, that the Expiatory Chapel here occupies the site of the old Cemetery Madeleine, where are buried many victims of the Revolu- tion, among them Louis XVI and Ma. rie Antoinette. At No. 8 in this street Lafayette died, May 29, 1834. At No. 36, also, is the site of the house of Gen. Moreau, who after many politi- cal misadventures at home was exiled. Coming to_America, he lived in New York and Delaware. Bonaparte gave his house to Gen. Bernadotte, who afterward became Charles XIV of Sweden. And so the book -goes on in this intimate 2nd informing link. ing of America and the French cap! Its authors stand for its accu- racy. M. Boucher is curator of the Musee Carnavalet, Paris. Mrs. Huard is the American wife of Charles Huard, the French artist. The book rounds to an extra value by a list of American consuls in Paris, from 1789 forward, and by a list of Ameri- can writers in Paris. A summary of the American charitable organizations in Paris is also given. One would thoroughly enjoy by ‘way of this ex- cellent book the hunting of America in Paris.

Accompanying and following Bien- Ville in his determination to found a rank whom the spirit of enterprise and adventure sent to the new world. From these came the aristocratic Creole element which gives to thi particular city of the south its ex- otic character and atmosphere. The book in hand stands as a bibliography of these early settlers and their de- scendants, together with the part taken by them in the history of the United States itself. It is, moreover, a comprehensive and useful guide to the colonial founders of Louisiana. A word of appreciation is due the artist whose quaintly attractive {illustra- tions add to the general picture which the author herself has so palnstak- ingly set here for the reader and the student: IT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU; A Cotemporary Portrait of Central Eastern . _By Coningsby Dawson, author of “The ‘Test of Scarlet,” etc. New York: John Lane Company.

These pictures are of thé starving women and children of east- ern Europe, pictures so vivid &s to dissipate, completely, the notion that no one in this bountful world is really starving, after all. Beyond these ob- servations of fact Mr. Dawson looks out for the reasons behind this over-long continuance of post-war stagnation and distress. These he discusses in the light of the allied peace. decisions, which have created in central and eastern Europe not one, but many Alsace-Lorrain all productive of prolonged unrest and the holding back of constructive re. sults.

Hamby, author of “Getting and Holding,” etc. Illustrated by Ralph P. Coleman. New York: Doubleday, Page & Co. This adventure is set in the Imperial valley, along the Mexican line. A good share of its interest rests upon this fact. The Imperial valley is a miracle that was wrought when a great river and a great road builder went into partnership to produce a rich granary out of the chemical com- pound of an age-old desert. One likes to read aboyt it. Here Mr. Hamby places his hero and sets him to the job of keeping about one ahead of the tactics of a‘' modern business shark. This hero is the fiddler who figure: who has a streak of idealism in his plain honesty and common sense.

Putnam's Sons. ‘This is a story of the new south and the new woman. Into the network of political intrigue thet is likely to fol- low close upon the competitions of modern industrial life the author in- troduces a southern grl of up-to-date education and outlook. Taking her place among the active women around her, Nancy Carroll, in many a hard- fought battle with the old politicians of experience and practice, proves her worth-whileness as a “free and equal” citizen. A spirited and winning per- son, a true type of the best of theae girls from the south that are more: and more coming to the front, Nancy Carroll wins a very acceptable place in the affections of the reader, as she does also in the heart of Doctor Bob, the friend of her lifetime. The back- ground of this romence is exceedingly Well drawn, out of the many-sided in. terests of current life in any com- munity of the present time. This set- ting shows much more than a passing acquaintance with it on the part of the author. Personal experience must have gonme into its making. This inti- macy rounds the romance into a graphic picture of modern civic in terests and life. —_— THE PUBLIC LIBRARY In place of the usual list of new ti- tles, the Public Library is listing this week some pleasant books for sum- mer reading.
