New Books at the Institute THE CARPENTER AND HIS KING- DOM by Alexander Irvine. “Dr. Irvine shows how the example and teaching of Christ conflicts with the standards of modern religions. Social, political and industrial life and he has much to say which needs say- ing in his challenge to the consciences o fall professing Christians.'—London Times Lit. Sup. e DOMESTIC LIFE IN 1488-1688. “In this sketch of the development of furniture and household usage in Scotland the author describes in illustration a medieval castle of the fifteenth century, in which life was a stern and comfortless existence; the manse of Stobs, house of a Scottish clergymen of the same period present- ing a more luxurious picture than any contemporary nobleman's house; and the house of a burglar, a cloth mer- chant, also showing more refinement in equipment and arrangement. These pictures are used as the background to the history and the domestic life and customs of the people.” P FOSTER'S RUSSIAN BANK by R. F. Foster. SCOTLAND, . FOUR PLAYS IFOR DANCERS by W. B. Yeats. “In these plays Yeats make a clean sweep of all realistic pretense. He drops scenery and has two dancers— who are like a chorus in Greek more or less—unroll a cloth on which the scene is suggested. There is no stage; the plays are to be given in any draw- ing room; the actors enter as frankly as actors; and if necessary they may wear masks, as some of them in each play are required to do-—anything that will leave no doubt that this is . Y., Jessentially a play, a work of art, and no attempt at illusions of reality.”— New Republic. ] GREATER ROUMAINIA by Charles Upson Clark. “This book accomplishes two dis- tinct purposes. It sets forth clearly Doumania's position and vicissitudes in the war, and it serves as an excel- lent handbook of Roumania resources —the first a authoritative reference book on this subject in the English language. It has special chapters on Roumanian petroleum and agricul- ture, and gives a vivid account of Roumanian peasant life. One chapter is devoted to the work of the America Red Cross in Roumania.”—Review of Reviews. .o ( LITTLE RAYS OF MOONSHINE by A. P. Herbert. “This book is worth its weight in laughter. Its the sort of book that sends you running about hunting up your friends to real it to them * * * A serious word must be said for the quality of Mr. Herbert's humor. In thefield of pure nonsense it is of the very highest. It grows from keen, sympathetic observation, and it ex- presses a fresh, new spirit.’—Literary Review. e MODERN MEN AND MANNERS by Hesketh Pearson. “The book contains studies of such people as Lytton, Strachey, Bernard Shaw, Lloyd George and Mrs. Asquith, The author’s shrewdness and humor makethis volume a delight to anyone who wants to know the unconvention- al side of people who are usually re- garded so seriously.” e NEGRO FOLK RHYMES by T. W. Talley. “An encyclopedic compilation of negro folk rhyms of all kinds, with a scholarly treatise on their origin and purport.” .0 POPULATION AND ITS DISTRIBU- TION by Thompson. e THE PSYCHOLOGY OF EVERYDAY LIFE by James Drever. “Designed for the average reader who ‘desires some closer acquaintance with psychology,’ the hook is non- technical and gives a comprehensive survey of the subject as it is unders stood today.”—A.

A Vanderlip. “Mr. Vanderlip advocates two methods of giving America relief re- lief to Europe; first by clearing up the currency situation and repairing in- ternational exchange by the establish- ment by a Gold Reserve Bank of the U. 8. of Europe; second, the funding of European debts to America, and the agreement on the part of the U. S. to let these payments remain in Kurope, at least for a time, to be used in the rehabilitation of European na- tions."—Survey. ‘e Fiction e SMALL ME by S. . R. de Rodyenko. 'Chang, the Chinese servant who refers to himself modestly as ‘Small Me’ tells his experiences and observa- tions in thehousehold of the white people, The book abounds with screamingly humorous situations—it makes the reader acquainted with the delightful traits of the Chinese characters, enables them to gain insight into the psychology of that much misunder- stood race, their art and their great sense of humor.” e EVERLASTING WHISPER by son Gregory. “A romance of adventure and love and of manly and womanly heroism, in the California wilderness and the Sierras for background.” . x % Jack- HIDI N PLACES by Bertrand Sin- clair. “The author makes one love the hidden places of the rugged and beau- tiful section of the Northwest in which his story is laid.—He has given us a book which filled with the mingled awe and spirit and adventure that enfold the dwellers in the wilder- and is also a genuine human document.”"-—Literary Review. . orox WANDERERS by Knut Hamsun.
