The Frank Norris manuscript ought to have been left in obscurity. It is unnecessary, it is altogether too horrible in its it must be confessed very accurate pictures of life. In a word, ''Vandover and the Brute," is altogether too true. It deals with the absolute ruination of a youth. You can tee him sink, chapter by chapter, and every unpleasant, bestial, brutal idea that can lie introduced is woven in.

On the other hand, Oppcnheim's premises, characterizations, glimpsing of New Yolk life among the prosperous. tries, it is especially timeiy, iimiuutu ties for as the west coast of the continent will be brought much nearer to us by rea New Edition of a Popular Novel. The Macmillans, continuing to issue In America for G. Rell Sons, have published additional volumes in the Rohn library, an English translation of Alessandro Manzoni's "The Retrothed." This romance, first published in Italy in 1822, under the title "I Promessl Sposi," has passed through many editions in Italian, French, German and The Chief Adniiinistrat ive Building Dominates the Center as Our New Courthouse "Will Do. son of the impending opening of the Panama Canal.

D. C. Heath Co. have added another volume to their "Modern Language Series." This is D. Bernhard liogge's "Her Grosse Preussenkoeuig," a study of the life of Frederick the Great.

W. A. Adams has very ably really understanding the great paintings which they see. George Ade has published a new volume of his "Fables." This is "Ade's Fables," and it is published by Double-day, Page Co. The merry author has discovered a vein of humor wnich has proved to be a "pay streak." The droll language and the ingenious uso of slang, if nothing more, would set Ade down as a genius.

But he has more than this. His analysis of human nature, of the follies and weaknesses of men and women of all conditions. THE BOOK FOR BROOKLYN i.ngiisli. Manzoni lived half a century are all wrong.

MODERN EGYPT. Sidney Low Thinks Its People Much finer Specimens Than Our Factory Workers. Modern Egypt receives careful treatment at the hands of Sidney Low in a new book, "Egypt in Transition" (Mao-millan). The Earl of Cromer, in his introduction to the work, says that Mr.

Low has produced "a lively and, so far as I can judge, a very trustworthy account of the present conditions of affairs in the Valley of the Nile." It is, indeed, true, as Cromer says, that superficialness is a besetting sin of the traveler; casual visitors to the East form their opinions with too great rapidity. This is not tho case with the ness or tne present re-issue. A Novel and Decorative Love Story. Something entirely new in the way of decorative fiction is "The Parts of the Puzzle" by Cecil Burleigh, well known as a president of the Brooklyn Writers Club and for his literary work. It is published by the Bailey, Banks Riddle Co.

of Philadelphia. Telling a story by means of letters, with extracts from newspapers to fill the gap, is an old device and often osophy, either alone or in classroom, is Emilc Faguet's "Initiation Into Philosophy" (Putnam), translated by Sir Home Gordon. The volume is one ot the best outlines of the science, for it gives in brief, non-technical form a resume of the teachings of the great philosophers, from Thales to Bergson. M. Faguet very wisely refrains from expressing any critique of modern philosophers, because "they are living and receive contemporary criticism rather than that of history." It is to be hoped that the book will be placed in the hands of every person who begins the study of philosophy.

It will satisfy their curiosislty and stimulate a love for the subject. Barbara Spofford Morgan has made a study of the treatment of backwardness, which she has issued, through the Putnams. in a volume entitled "The there is one new book which should be more studied than another in Brooklyn at this particular tinie, it is "Modern author. Mr. Low has spent a great deal of time in Egypt.

Hence his ments. Sometimes wonderful results have been achieved by men who knew nothing of theory but who had an instinct for beauty and a keen sense for the "lay of the land." What we are trying to do here in Brooklyn is to keep as much as we can of the good that nature and our predecessors have given to us, while we make over as much of the inconvenient and the ugly as is not too costly to be dispensed with. report may be considered accurate. apt aescnptions of the author. Ade has few imitators; his humor is wholesome, pleasant and full life.

And the pictures which John T. McCutcheon has drawn furnish suitable delineation of the characters of the fables. John R. Kippax has written a popular introduction to the studv ot astronomy, Call of the Stars" (Putnam). This is confessedly a book for beginners and not for professionals.

It is written in plain, nontechnical language, and its evident purpose is to incite men and women to study the heavens as a proper pastime. The author gives much information; It is well illustrated by charts and diagrams, and by a number of photographs of stars taken by modern astronomers. By recourse to the charts the reader can readily ascertain the positions of the constellations and the planets. And there is much other practical information as to the sun, the moon, comets, meteors and so on. Any reader who studies the book will be well repaid.

"Auction Developments" is a recent authoritative book on auction bridge, from the pen of Milton C. Work, originator of the auction count now universally used. It is a volume for players with some knowloHu-o nf tVio fnma Political events form a large part of the book, but there is much information for the traveler. And the author is very frank in his admiration of tho Backward Child." It is a study in City Planning and Maintenance," by Frank Koestor (McBride, Nast New York, $6). Mr.

Koester tells how many cities all over the world, including several in this country, have done what Brooklyn is now trying to do, that is working out a city plan into which can fall the street, park and building development of the next fifty years. He Illustrates natives. The fellah, for instance, has psychology, and will be of especial value to teachers who are continually meeting with children apparently of in In that difficult task of applying ideal principles to a situation which is far from ideal. Mr. Koester's book will he not a satisfactory one, because tho author works his own reflections into the letters of his characters and these become too long and sometimes too prosy.

Mr. Burleigh has improved upon the model by giving what purport to be clippings from Philadelphia papers, pasted upon the page of the handsome volume and interspersed with letters and invitations pasted in in the same way, each letter reproducing the characteristic handwriting of the character from whom it comes. The letters are upon handsome and correctly engraved note paper and correspondence cards und are thus protected from overstepping the length of real letters, while Mr. Burleigh has been very happy in catching a natural and characteristic style for his characters as well as the real newspaperese of Philadel often been pictured in a not too pleasant light. But to Mr.

Low he is a man who is beginning to learn that it is ferior mental capacity. The author has analyzed the mental faculties in order of value to the men who are making the plans although a good many of safe to be rich. Hence he is frugal to find out the cause of individual backwardness rather than the mero classifying of mental defectives.

The story itself that it will be found to be of as much "cienuno piay as wei as on is simple, but the ingenuity and the mansions.

The misleading details con- veyed are pathetic. The sad part of it is that Oppenheim has a public of his. help as the recently published volumes duplicate and progressive auction. It is skilfully and logically written and unexpected manner of its telling, as mem nave studied at first hand the European and American examples which he here describes and. photographs.

It will be of even more use to the citizens who are looking on and want to know what is to be done to their old familiar town. For that reason copies of the book ought to be made accessible at all the branch libraries in Brooklyn. Its price is prohibitive to many people who would be interested in Its demonstration, but it contains just precisely the sort of information which the libraries were created to popularize. There is no space here to follow the discussion in detail, but the thoroughness and logic of it can be seen from Mr. Koester's chapter headings: "What City Planning is," "How to Proceed in Re-planning a City," "The Civic Center," "Ar- well as the highly decorative character of its paper, typography and engraving word.

And the title of the book isi cirtninly catchy ful verse by Mr. Burlelgn for a pre- of Signora Montessori. The author ha had experience in New York schools, and she bases her book on personal experience. Frederigo Enriques' "Problems of Science" has been translated from the Italian by Katharine Ttoyce and published by the Open Court Publishing Company. Josiah Royce has face, as well as more in the masterful chirography of his newspaper hero.

Altogether the book Is ideal for a summer gift to the sort of girls typified by furnished an introduction to the vol Mr. Burleigh Majorie and (J race. A Pretty Love Story.

The scene is laid on the of the treatment which forms part ot tastetully printed by the Houghton Mifflin Company "The Friendly Road," by David Grayson (Doubleday, Page shows the charming personality of the author of "Adventures in Friendship" and "Adventures ln Contentment" ln its highest degree.

There is no lack of optimism in the book and it really makes the reader wish that somehow one could drop the daily routine and wander at will along the open road to meet with the same sort of friends and the same kindly treatment. Stanton Davis Klrkham, author of "East and West" and other nature studies, comes forward again with "North and South" (Putnam; and the result Is as delightful as his earlier books. Birds, insects and animals of a different sort, as well as trees and flowers, appear to the reader In all their intimate association with the author, who writes with rare knowledge of his subject. The book rounds out the series of nature studies of our country and is well worth careful perusal. "Lightships and Lighthouses," by Frederick A.

Talbot, covers the whole subject of coast lighting for the pro the first two volumes of Merz's 'History of Thought in the Nineteenth Cen- nance," with many subheads; "Financ turv. The scope of tho volume is wide. Tne ing i ivic improvements" and "The Planning of Growing Towns." idle Wives" purports to tell us how the well-off woman of New York has nothing under the heavens to do. That these well-off women really work like truck horses, after a fashion that would make the average factory girl throw up her hands and her job, if she had to toil as many hours, is something that some novelists never can understand. Or do they really understand and deliberately falsify? It is more charitable to believe some coquetting housemaid gave Mr.

Oppenheim his "tips." and that he actually thinks young persons like his Anne, the young matron who neglects her children because it is the "custom," do exist. Mr. Oppen-I 'Tieim should understand thnt the well-to-do don't neglect their children. That Is Just what they don't do. As a mat- ter of fact, they do just the reverse.

Thus such a book as "Idlo Wives" is liarmful. It ladles out oceans of misinformation, done by a man who has lone good work in the literary way. "Vandover and the Brute" is another pair of shoes, as the say. It la too accurate. In Its frank presentation of indecencies, it out Znlas Zola and goes Tolstoy many times bet-iter.
