IDA GYLBERT MYE] THE SOUL'S SINCERE By Glenn CJark. Boston: Atlantic Monthly Press. It comes as no surprise that this little book has since jts first issuance 10 years ago renewed itself again and agaln from its own roots, like some perennial growth. And no surprise either thal at no peint in these 10 vears has the book received a warmes welcome or a larger entertainment than in this, its latest appearance. It | covers a great theme. It embodie deep personal adventure, at whose heart lies a vital discovery. An ad venture, this, besides, that never be- | fore has commanded so much of gen eral interest and concern. Prayer fs| the theme of “The Soul's Sincere De sire.” Now prayer has been one of u’s chief preoccupations since he man, born into realization f himself as part of something Infi nitely greater than himself. And to this ‘greater Something all stages of | civilization, all diversities of belief, have pa homage. either in fear and | propitiation, or in love and service. In | the course of time prayers partook of the growing formalism that finally set tles upon all accepted thin the spirit of prayer became quenct under the press of its forms. It is at | this point that Glenn Clark set out | upon this adventure of the spirft. A practical man, he made use of that | which was at hand, reasoning t if man’'s body needed exercise his st no less would profit thereby. And so | 1e began with his 15 minutes a day of soul training to complement an equal period devoted to the body. There must be the daily stretching of the | mind to take in the goodness and the power of God. There must be the | deep breathing of the spirit to take in the good, to expel the bad: there must | he the persistent soul training in these | exercises of spiritual health till out reachings toward the truth become automatic and unbroken, even as the | lungs take in subconsciously great | draughts of cleansing alr Fifteen | minutes a day like this for a manth two months, and “you will find your. | self in a new world.

You will find vourself in a new world, where God | zoverns every minute of every day of every vear.” Following along in the svstematic and persistent course of the physical trainer, Mr. Clark de velops a course in spiritual training This he hases on the truths of reli- | gign, on man’s spiritualnature, on the | relation of religion to life. on the re. ‘ lation of man’s spiritual nature to h mental capabilities and to his moral | obligations.

PAID IN FULL DESIRE. The Lecame a is world to A By Tan Hay. author of “The First Hundred Thou-| sand.” ‘etc. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. Here is an author who never in the world would create a villain just for the sake of showing what a really | complete rascal he could turn out. He wouldn't work that way. He couldn’t. He'd be saying to himself that evervbody is much .of a mixture of good and had—just a little more | of the one to make a saint, just a pinch more of the other to make a scamp. And all the time the propor tlons shifting so_that often and often pretty good sort of man emerges from most unpromising blends of human nature and_circum stances. To be sure. the odds here | are terribly against Capt. Dale Con-| way. who at once captures you so! completely that you resent the first | taint suggestion that this engaging fellow may be a bis shy on the manli- ness which no real man can get along without. And as the evidence grows vour unhappiness grows along with it And this, no doubt—this power to en- list you heart and soul in the matter at hand—is the real gift of Ian Ha Not many writers have it. He has. He has, besides. a friendliness and a | pity for folks. So. having seen Capt.

This | possesses” when under, the spel North of the hunteg 'and explorer—he draws pure romance, surrounded by a world of rough realisms. That i8 to say that Rex Beach is a realist, pure and simple, right up to the point where the fate of true love is con cerned At that point he, if need be, sets himself up a special provi- dence to sce that no niggardly veal | life shall interfere with the final frui tion of love's requirements. Devoted to the happy ending., Rex Beach up 1o that last moment, however, devotes himself in good Mdelity to the pictur his lterary stamping ground. “The Goose Woman,” the longest and best »f the group, is a story that has a good deal behind its striking and dra. matic externals. Here is a study of temperament, of gentus. Now despised and negieeted, this woman could re member the time when all the world came to pay homage to her art--a ( guessed. All by herself, this old wom- an found her only joy in throwing features of this crude life into acting, with herself both actor and audienc The story turns upon her exercise of this gift in a situation that involved the guilt or innocence”of her son. A tion that concerned the .goose woman not at all, if it intesfered with the way she had selected to project thé matter from her old standpolint of the stage—just’ to gather in only one more moment of power! “Cave Stuff” is laughable comedy, all for laughter, since it enlists warm sympathy for the “goat” of the situation, and equal joy over his tri umph. Brawny, straight-going stories, all of these. Of course, the would be. THE DEDUCTIONS OF COL. GORE. By Lynn Broek. New York: Har- per & Brothers. The fascinating Barrington was a professienal blackmailer. Not a doubt in the world about it. His sudden and mysterious taking off, therefore, pointed upon this bad practice as its inspiration and cause. Col. re be- me keen to the case of Barrington as it seemed likely to threaten the security of an indiscreet young woman upon whom from her childhood the colonel ‘had lavished the affection of. father or elder brother. His inter- est was to protect the girl rather than to discover the murderer of Barring- ton. Yet the one seemed to include the other. Therefore. Gore became a self-coristituted detective. It is at this point that the reader also be- comes deeply concerned over the death of Barrington. Unlike the ma. jority of super-sleuths whe have re- centiy taken charge of the fiction of crime. Col. Gore is the frankest and most modest of men. Admitting that clues are more.er less of a gamble, likely to set false trails, he neverthe- less takes us along with him wherever a whiff of circumstance veers in the slightest degree toward Barrington's shady career. He opeps his mind as if it were a workshop, picking up point after point. each of which he in turn throws down as worthless be- cause it fails to support itself by hu man logic or because it withers away upon being brought into the 3 = this openwork plan scinating game of se. quences, but it turns out to be a com mentary as well UPOn OUTr OWN POWers in common daily life to see things at all as they really are or to follow out lines of consistency to any worth- while .objective.

THE JUDGMENT OF PARIS. By Carleton Kemp Allen, author_ of “Oh, Mr. Leacock,’ etc. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. A poreus-knit, Summer-weight novel built upon the ready susceptibility of # youth with nothing but time on his nds and in his purse enough of the wherewithal to make him fair game in the general man-hunt of his particu- lar neighborhood. Ensnarement and escape—this is the formula that in a crescendo of complications gives a special portrayal of the complete pa- ralysis of the male when the eye of the female is set upon him in desire and design. An enjoyable comedy, with enough of truth under its frank ex- travagance to carry it over into one's delighted acceptance. Good fun from ance projected as modern Paris is a lovable fellow who quite believes in the gullelessness of the beautiful and-bBusy ladies around him. As a matter of fact he exercised no “judgment.” He made no choice. That was all done for him by the clev- erest and the micest of the ladles at hand. It is no doubt true that this holds for the original Paris also.

The War Department is\fully cog- nizant of the handicap under which the District Guardsmen are working and are constantly urging better fa- cilities and, what is mere important, | betger storage places for the thou- nds of dollars’ worth of valuable equipment which is issued to them Much more of this equipment could be readily obtained if it were possible for the units of the Guard to preserve it. They need it in their training and are anxious to get it, drill with it and take care of ‘it, but they are fully cognizant of the lack of storage space. In conjunction with the dilapidated and unsuitable rented armory now occupied by the guard at 472 L street northwest, they have been allowed [the use of Convention Hall on such {nights as it is not rented for other purposes for drills. But this now has been sold, and the gugrdsmen will be forced to take their drills out on the street.

With the 121st Engineers making such headway in training as they have in the past, officers are confi- dent that with the provision of an armory which the guardsmen may use for social as well as drill pur- poses, that it will grow far beyond | the lfmit set on strength by the War Department. ~Already Gen.

This unit has asked for | much additional space, needed for its | equipment. There seems to be some differenc of opinion regarding the provision of | funds for such an armory. A special committee of citizens and patriotic organizations formed to work for an armory for the Guard and a meeting place for the patriotic organizations urged that it be provided on the 60-40 plan of payment, in the same manner that the District's expenses were for | merly divided.

Be this as it may, John Crawford, | the rector of Wyck, is all heart and | soul engaged in the piness and | well being of his people every hour of the day. An interesting young man absorbed in a thousand plans, not all of which live up to the American schedule of priestly propriety. How- ever, these are but local differences, not to be counted, except as they make a much more live and interest- ing story than could be produced with- out them. While this is a romance— the courtship and marriage and do- mestic life of John Crawford and the voung English girl of his desire—it s besides what ome believes to be a true picture of English parish life de- veloped at its most influential best. The heart of this matter is, however, with the family of John Crawford— his wife, his children, himself—in the period leading up to the war and ex- acting of him the loss of his son in battle. The exactions of family life, its compemsations, too, make up the substance of this story.
