o8=-Book c By the Editor FRANKLY admit that a rule of THE Arcosy is transgressed in the opening para- | graph of the July complete novel. The story does not start off with a bang, this in spite of the fact that it leads our Fourth of July number. Nevertheless, there is a bang, and it comes ahead of the first paragraph. You get it in the title— “McPHEE’S SENSATIONAL REST” BY GEORGE FOXHALL Author of ‘‘ Those Eyes from Karna,’’ ‘‘Why There Was a Murder on Pear! Street,’’ ete. and you get it good and plenty in the story itself, which is all about a distinguished young novelist, seeking a change from work, and a persistent woman, who lands him in the midst of happenings beside which war’s wild alarms are almost tame. ‘“ Mc- Phee’s Sensational Rest,” in short, moves with the rapidity of a machine gun, leaving the reader fairly breathless at the finish. For those of you who like out-of-the-ordinary tales, the July number will provide “JIMMIE BARTLETT'S BARGAIN” BY H. L. JOHNSTON in which a trade between rich and poor leads to extraordinary complications. ‘ The Empress of the Paper Hoops,” by Olin Lyman, is a Fourth of July yarn with a circusy flavor, and what happens when patriotism runs counter to the call of love is set forth in “FOR THE SAME FLAG” BY NEIL MORAN There are many other rarely attractive features in the July Arcosvy, but there’s a big mail from my readers awaiting attention, so I’ll now step aside myself and let you talk to one another.
