Eight Books of Varied and Unusual Interest, Each Preeminent in Its Field HAIL, COLUMBIA! BY WL. W. L. George never does anything in a conventional way. For instance, when he came to America to write this book about us, he spent six months studying the country and the people! His book has all the charm of Arnold Bennett's “Your United States" and much of the keen and thoughtful analysis of H. G Wells’s “The Future in America,” but it covers a wider field than cither of these earlier works. In the East, the West, the North, and the South, Mr. George found Amei times he is critical, but he is invariably t cidentally, he believes that the real America is to be found in the Middle West.

Roberts Booth Tarkington, reviewing this delightful new book for the New York Times, said “ Never before were ideas imparted to me in such volume by means of the pure American language; now I really understand many things I had given up under standing about Europe since the war. Roberts takes us over th d Tour we all now need to take.” The Boston Herald says, “Mr. Roberts is a keen observer and a brilliant writer, and his book is notable among the many offered us. Notable for the information it carries, but primarily readable for the touch of genius with which Mr. Roberts combines information on grim and depressing subjects with flashes of gaiety . . . so that we not only relish large doses but find them so refreshing that we crave more.” $3.00. THE TENT-DWELLERS By Albert Bigelow Paine Here is a book that will go straight to the heart of every sportsman. It is an out-of-doors story of pleasant experiences and little adventures told in Mr. Paine's delightfully easy fa miliar style. The author, a friend and two guides plunge into the depths of the Nova Scotia woods, travelling slowly and fishing in the black, wild waters of the Northern streams as they go. Their days are a sportsman’s paradise, enlivened by the enthusiasms and misfortunes of the author's bearded friend Eddie. There are many illustrations from pencil drawings by Hy Watson, which supplement the genial humor of the text. Here is a book to take on your vacation—or in place of it. New Edition Ill, $2.25. THE LURE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN By Albert Bigelow Paine The rollicking story of another shipload of ocean excursionists who followed in the footsteps of Mark Twain's immortal “Innocents Abroad.” “Written in happiness” Mr. Paine de- clares was this engaging travel book. And “in happiness” will it be read. Athens, Ephesus, Baalbek, Damascus, Jerusalem, Karnak—their names spell enchantment. And Mr. Paine vis ualizes them and every locality whither his quest leads with rare distinctness. Nothing of their kind could be more delightful than Mr. Paine’s memories of Egypt.""—Boston Transcript “Mr. Paine visited the cities and shrines, the highways and by- the tourist of today will be fortunate if he has first read what Mr. Paine has to say of them in this book."”—Boston Herald. Illustrated by Thomas Forgarty. $3.00. Est. 1817 HARPER & G AFTER | OUT OF MY LIFE | By Field Marshal von Hindenburg This autobiography of the old German leader, the one high | officer of the Central Powers to come out of the war with his | reputation for military sagacity intact, is a document of extraor- dinary interest and real historical importance. As a revela tion of the Prussian character it is unique, and the tone of almost naive puzzlement with which the author discusses the final out- come of Germany's years of preparation for " Der Tag” is illu minating in the extreme. Of the war itself and of Hindenburg’s conduct of German operations on both the Western and Eastern fronts, there are full and lucid accounts, interspersed with a considerable amount of anecdote and personal experience. Most decidedly here is a book not to be overlooked by any stu- dent of our time. In two volumes with frontispiece and maps. $7.50. THE WAYS OF THE CIRCUS By George Conklin Here is something genuinely new in reminiscences. For nearly half a century George Conklin was a tamer of lions and animal trainer in general. He joined the circus when it was a wagon show and has seen it grow into the modern wonder of Pullman car efficiency. His own account of his life, at times thrilling, quaintly humorous, or uproariously funny, was first told by Mr. Conklin during the long winter evenings in Bridgeport, where the circus goes to rest and refit between seasons. It is now pre- served with all its original flavor in this delightful volume. The story of pink lemonade is here, and many another secret of the “big ‘top” that you have wondered about. Frontispiece. $2.25. GETTING WHAT WE WAD By David Orr Edson You know, every one knows, people who are miscast in life —men who should be active, toiling at monotonous desk jobs— artists and writers working as salesmen or ditch diggers. Per- haps you yourself are not happy in your job—have never found the sort of life for which nature intends you. Dr. Edson’s book is designed to interpret you to yourseif—to help you find the work in which you will be happiest and in which in conse- quence, you will be most successful. ‘Dr. Edson is one of the few geniuses of science who are able to get away from the tech- nical phraseology of the craft and tell the world in its own lan- guage some of the fundamental secretsfof science." —Rochester Democrat-Chronicle. $2.25. THE KAISER vs. BISMARCK Here are the Kaiser's suppressed letters and the Iron Chan- cellor’s own story of the most significant episode in modern his- tory—his own dismissal by the young emperor. The executors of Bismarck’s estate, by his will, were not to publish this matter during the Kaiser's lifetime—but now it has been determined that the public must be given the truth. Realizing the damag- ing nature of its revelations, the ex-Kaiser fought to the last ditch to keep this evidence from the world. There is an intro- duction by Charles Downer Hazen, Professor of History, at Co- lumbia University, and the volume is illustrated with photo- graphs and drawings, including reproductions of “ Dropping the Pilot " and other famous cartoons of the time. $2.50.
