=ORCZY, EMMUSKA (MRS MONTAGUE BARSTOW) baroness.= His Majesty’s well-beloved. *$1.75 (2c) Doran

19–19054

A quaintly told story of an English actor in the times of Charles II.
John Honeywood, devoted to Thomas Betterton is permitted, in his
capacity as friend and secretary, to see much of the intimate life of
that famous actor. It is he, who, in the form of a beseeching letter
to Mary Saunderson, formerly betrothed to Tom Betterton, tells of the
latter’s strange, thwarted love and passion for a lady of nobility:
the insults and outrage her family heap upon “the mountebank” who
presumes to my lady’s affections; the bitter, relentless revenge
Betterton slowly perfects and executes: and finally his utter
renunciation to save the innocence of Lady Barbara, and to restore to
her the man she loves, cleared from all dishonor. Throughout the
narrative Honeywood pleads with Mistress Saunderson that Betterton’s
love for Lady Barbara is naught but a wild infatuation, and that his
feeling for herself is still pure and unsullied. Evidently he
succeeds, for the final chapter chronicles the wedding of Thomas
Betterton, actor, and Mary Joyce Saunderson.

=O’RIORDAN, CONAL O’CONNELL (NORREYS CONNELL, pseud.).= Adam of Dublin. *$2 Harcourt

20–20003

Adam was born in the gutter and began his career in life, at the age
of seven, selling stale papers. When he came to a sudden realization
of what that meant he went to pour out his heart in confession to
Father Innocent Feeley and found his first and truest friend. He makes
other friends too, for after Father Innocent’s intervention has
secured for him an education for the priesthood, and after the good
Father’s death occurred at a crisis in Adam’s school life that made
his position there untenable, the queer old Frenchman in Adam’s
lodging house, who was not a Frenchman at all but a German musician,
took him under his wing and saw to it that he was freed from the
clutches of the Jesuits. The book leaves young Adam—the incarnation of
the romantic soul of Ireland—on the brink of a new and freer life, of
which the reader is led to expect an account in another volume.

Cushing setting forth the unusually high and many-sided achievements

organization and purpose of the Classical association. One of these
purposes—the furthering of a closer cooperation between natural
science and the humanities—accounts for the choosing of “one of the

address to have “embodied the whole spirit of this ideal.”

A murder in New York society forms the raison d’être for this
detective story. Eugene Creveling is found dead in his library early
one April morning. McCarthy, the ex-roundsman detective of previous
stories, constitutes himself the chief investigator. He interviews the
family, social and business friends and servants of the murdered man,
and finds, as he says, “every last one of them bluffing and hedging
and lying,” except the O’Rourkes, former friends of his in the old
country, whose integrity he would swear by. He can’t understand what
the others are all working for, but gradually their motives are
uncovered, and altho they have a bearing on the character and habits
of the dead man, the identity of the murderer remains still a mystery.
Then in a flash the solution is revealed to McCarthy by a passing
glimpse of a woman’s handwriting, the last woman in the world he would
want to suspect. But thru an act of what he calls Providence she is
not brought to justice, and after all perhaps Creveling got no more
than he deserved for playing with a woman’s honor.

Horace Dimock, a prosperous American business man and a notorious
philanderer, spends much of his time in England with his English
friends, the center of whom are Lady Freke and the widowed Crystal
McClinton, sisters and of American birth. To Crystal he is even
secretly married. As the story opens he is coming to England, at the
appeal of the sisters, to rescue his ward, Daphne O’Brien, daughter of
a former love, from the nunnery. He falls violently in love with
Daphne at first sight. His ardor diverts her from her purpose, but she
turns from him as soon as she learns of his treachery to Crystal, whom
he now seeks to divorce. At the end we find him sans Crystal and
Daphne, and reduced to the goodnatured tolerance of the friends who
had once admired him. Much of international, post war interest and of
the havoc of war plays in the story and Daphne, the would-be nun,
becomes the happy wife of a wonderful young Serbian hero.

Philosophical discussions communicated to Joan and Darby, the
anonymous authors of this book—by a young soldier who had recently
died, or “graduated,” and was living and working “on the other side.”
In the beginning this spirit gave proof of his identity, which the
authors quite accidently found corroborated. The communications center
about “quality of consciousness.” Our development is both qualitative
and quantitative. At birth we are given quality of soul—which is
definitely fixed—a rebirth of a certain quality of consciousness,
which has been developing on the other side, into our human body.
During our earth life, if we are true to our “quality,” we develop
quantity of soul, which upon our “graduation” we bring as our
contribution to the whole of consciousness on the other side. There
are many rebirths, until the supreme consciousness is reached. Joan
and Darby at first were very material skeptics, holding fast to the
theories of subconsciousness, telepathy, etc., but in the end were
quite convinced.

A story of the sea and of sea-faring life seen from the coast and a
coast-guard station. Captain Smiley and his crew have rescued a little
girl of six, the only survivor of a wreck, and have called her
Mermaid, from the ship’s name. With the captain as Dad and the crew as
uncles she lives a life full of poetry and adventure. In spite of her
name she grows into a sane and healthy womanhood, surrounded in her
school days by boy friendships that later turn into love. From among
these she chooses Guy Vanton the lonely poet boy, shadowed by a dark
family history. In the course of the story several family histories of
the old coast town are revealed and withal much human nature, some
philosophy and the light of a new era is shown to lay old ghosts and
to conquer old fears. Mermaid’s husband, Guy, pays for his conquest
with his life, and Dick Hand, overstepping conventions with the
courage of love, reaps his reward.

=OVINGTON, MARY WHITE.= Shadow. *$1.75 (2c) Harcourt

20–5123

A story of the race problem told with an effective restraint. The plot
is unusual. A white baby, for family reasons, is left in a negro
cabin, to be brought up as a negro child and until the age of
nineteen, to believe herself of negro blood. Then a dying and
repentent grandfather restores her to her name and position and she is
free to cross the line into the white world. Realizing what her fate
will be wherever her story is known, she chooses to lose herself in
New York, earning a living in the garment trades. Here she finds
herself on the edge of the labor movement, but she is never quite
drawn into it. She remains outside the conflict. The call to action
comes to her when the life of her dark brother, the playmate of her
childhood, is endangered, and to save him from the fury of a lynching
mob, enraged to the point of blood lust at thought of a negro who has
laid his hand on a white woman’s arm, she again crosses the color line
and falsely declares herself of negro birth. The story ends as it
began, in the South, with Hertha entering the beautiful southern home
of which she is to be mistress, but even within its protection, with
her lover’s arm about her, she looks ahead and knows that “the shadow
of man’s making” will always lie beside her path.

Roger Payne, an energetic young northerner, buys a thousand acre tract
of “prairie” land in Florida. When he goes down to look it over he
finds that the quality of the land corresponds quite exactly to the
agent’s description, but that it is covered with about two feet of
water. With the aid of his friend Higgins, an engineer, he works out a
plan for drainage, but finds that the physical difficulties are the
least of his obstacles. One of the men in the company that sold him
the land is Senator Fairclothe, but he soon learns that this statesman
is only the catspaw for Garman, the real villain in the situation. The
senator’s beautiful daughter is engaged to Garman, but there is love
at first sight between her and Roger and the outcome of the tale,
which abounds in scenes of brutality, is the winning of the girl as
well as title to the reclaimed land.

“Madame Ozaki’s ‘romances’ are for the most part stories dealt with by
the popular drama of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They are
of two types, the sanguinary and the supernatural. The first
corresponds to the earlier period of the Yedo popular stage and to the
careers of the first three Danjūrōs, famous for their impersonations
of ferocious warriors. In the present work ‘The quest of the sword,’
‘The tragedy of Kesa’ and ‘The Sugawara tragedy’ belong to this type.
The second type, represented in this book by ‘The spirit of the
lantern,’ ‘The reincarnation of Tama,’ ‘The badger-haunted temple,’
etc., corresponds to the popularity of the great ghost-impersonator
Matsusuke, who died c.1820.”—Ath

She escapes but her career of charity as the White Moll is thus

in which rôle she finds herself in the midst of a criminal gang. She
resolves to circumvent their schemes, and so plays the double part of

satisfied herself with being as hoydenish and wild as the

with the opposite sex, a captivating Irish way which won and held the

never do. But Paddy, because she thought Eileen was breaking her heart

patience was far from natural to him, he cultivated it and in the end
won out. The story in play form has had a successful run both in this

Ambassador Page was in Italy during the entire period of the war and
followed sympathetically the part played therein by the Italian
people. He holds that the key to Italy’s relation to the war is to be
found in her traditions, her history and in her geographical and
economic situation. Accordingly the book falls into three parts: “The
first is introductory and contains in outline the history of the
Italian people in the long period when they were included in and bound
under the Holy Roman empire. The second contains the story of their
evolution, from the conception of their national consciousness on
through the long and bitter struggle with the Austrian empire for
their liberty down to the time when ... they developed into a new and
united Italy.... The third part contains the story of the diplomatic
struggle to establish herself in a position to which Italy considers
herself entitled as a great power.” (Preface) The book has six maps,
appendices, giving the texts of the armistice with Austria and of the
pact of London, and an index.

board on occasion of the sailors’ Christmas party. On Jim Cooney’s
side it was something of a lark for he loved to bully simple minded
Henry Turnbull. With Henry it was a matter of the heart. But when
Henry is washed overboard Jim’s remorse inspires a Henry Turnbull
