This communist’s wife started to bake the usual cake for a church holiday. He explained that as he did not observe such days a cake was unnecessary. The wife insisted, and he finally agreed that the cake be baked, but specified that it be different in shape from the ordinary. The wife replied thut a cuke of any other shape would be foolish and began to The com- munist became angry, declared that he | was the head of th mily and for-! bade his wife to bake the cake.

HE old mechanics of biography no longer serve. Blography is, in intent, a re-creation. Every system of mechanics produces useful exactitudes, but it does not reproduce the loose and fluid con- tent of human life. So, the artisan, the mere workman, is moving out of this fleld.

It restores, alive, the | time and circumstance out of which | he drew inspiration and direction. In the hands of art the whole becomes vital in spirit, in event, in effect. And under this new conception biography is making great headway in the cs- teem of readers generally, A “life” nowadays combines the charm of the novel and the substance of history it- self. 1t is from this standpoint of art that Philip Gueddlla is projecting “Curiosi- ties of Politics,” a serles drawn from the procession of men that, in the elghteenth and nineteenth centuries, ‘I;Ve such color to English political ife * ¥ ¥ ¥ 'T. JOHN ERVINE, novelist and dramatist, found in the life of Charles Stewart Parnell a novel most sensational, a drama most tragic. In the premier role stands Parnell him- self. His fmmediate background is the strangest family life that ever led a Dboy into manhood.

By Louise Jordan Miln, author of “Mr. Wu etc. New York: Frederick Stokes Co. JLONG before tho story itself opens | the romance began in Washing- | ton when an English girl fell in love | with a Chinese of noble birtn wna married him. When the story does begin, it presents the widow living in England with her two children Ruben and Ivy Sen. The boy is ob. viously a Saxon—big and blond and| sturdy. The girl is as clearly Chi-| nese—slight, slant-eyed. sallow. The | story deals with the growth of these i two. with the curious racial strain: that cross each other here in frus- tration and final defeat. For i* turns {out that the boy, despite his Enslish | look, is at heart an Oriental. feeling | the call of old Homan. where hix| father's clan had lived jmmemorially | in distinction and power. And it} {turns out equally that the girl hates | her slant eyes and her sallow-brown | { skin, hates her dead father for glv ing her so clear a raclal stamp.| Under this complete handicap to hap- | piness the romance proceeds through | the childhood and youth of these two. The boy's journéy to his father's home gives the anthos cpportunity to spread out many a scene of Chi inese life, to depict many an ancient { tamily rite and custom and tv endow these with the spirit that this writer | herself appears to have absorbed through a long and beloved intimacy | with China and its people. A beauti {ful and convincing story, worked out }in the conflict of deep-seated feelings and instincts in the mixed blood of these children. The setting of the | romance—both the English and Chi- nese setting—Is of a quality with the study of character itself. * ¥ ¥ ¥ THE BOOK OF FLORIDA. Com- piled under the direction of the James O.

Lavishly illus trated with photographs of the makers of Florida, with pictures of | its natural beauties. its growing towns, its marvels of architecture its triumphs of engineering, its processes of reclamation, its road ! building, its landscape gardening— the hook serves to visualize Florida to the handful of Americans who | have not yeét rushed from their, | homes down into this center of spec- | tacular growth. A sketch of history reviews the career of the State from its romantic beginnings to its equally | romantic present. Other sketches, each drawn by competent authority present the natural resources of Florida, the development of these, the rise of an adequate and growing transportation system, the lure of the place as a playground for Amer- | ica and Burope. and so on and so { on through the long list of induce- ments that the State offers to those on _the outside.

They are, therefore, of the cluss of professional men and women, mu clans, writers, scientists, former owners. Congregated in Constanti- | nople and its nearby places, these homeless Russfans became people of absorbing interest to this writer, who | was at that time in the East engaged in work for the Red Cross. One can see a thousand situations and a thou sand stories of dramatic content here. It is some of these that this author has drawn off from the dally life of these refugees for the substance of | “Dauntless Exiles.” Here are plcture: of men and women who, in the old days, were conspicuous in Russian life and affairs. Today they are following any occupation that will sustain them under the most harrowing of circum- stances. Here are descriptions of the relief measures that have been organ- | ized In behalf of these people. And here ix portrayed the gallantry of these refugees who, the lowly and ill-paid | day's work done, turn about in ities of reciprocal and un fulness to all spirit, this quenchle these storfes emph It is this| that makes these scenes so vivid in| their poignant appeal. The art of “"'i story-teller goes hand in hand here with the deeply aroused sympathy and the warm admiration of Miss Bum gardner for these exiles.

A CALIFORNIA ranc of a young success other members of her fan ily had failed. A complaisant appears 1o leave things to the 3 folks. The father, dying, left ranch so heavily encumbered as t. make its sale an apparent necessity. The two sons were willing, because cach loathed the farm and intended to be something beside w ranchman. It was the daughter. however, who, out of a passionate love for her father and the acres so beloved by him, pleaded for a chance to see what she | could do where the others had failed. | The story deals with the hilit this girl, with her genius for har work, with her good sense; and. final lv, with her saving of the ranch te her family and her father's memory | If one feels at times that the girl re sorts to her feminine powers of ap- peal and cajolery to gain her ends, rather than' to a man-size order of action, or to a plain and grubbing in- dustry—why, such an one reflects that the job was altogether too big | for the girl in the first place, and | that, in the second place the author | has made a story thut will please the ! average young girl down to thep ground as she reads of the things a | girl cun do when she really tries.
