NEW BOOKS FOR LIBRARY
A Hundred or More There are with
Bright, Unfamiliar Faces.
Some Will Prove Friend. Others
.Enemies, for Books, Like Peo
ple, are Individual.
T
rIIE arrival of a box of
new books is as much
of an event to a reader as
the coming of a crowd of
new people to the guests
of a hotel, and so the ar
rival of many boxes of
new books at the Village Library is an
event of interest to the entire commu
nity. A hundred or more there are, all
in different dress, with bright, unfamiliar
faces. Some we know are to become
friends, some enemies, for books have so
much individuality that we love and hate
them as heartily as though they walked
about like ourselves.
The new covers certainly bid for
friendship by their attractive appearance,
and their titles are suggestive and inter
esting. Some of them we already know
well for the papers have discussed Mr.-.
Wharton's "The Fruit of the Tree",
Gilbert Farker's "The Weavers", and
Mrs. Burnett's "The Shuttle", with as
much excitement as though the prob
lems presented in them . were veritable
chronicles.
The " Lady of the Decoration" must
consent to share attention with "The
Lady of the Drawing Room Floor," and
"The Turnpike Lady", "The Smuggler",
"The Usurper" and "Clementina's
Highwayman" seem to indicate that we
have desperate characters among us. If
that be so we may need the valiant pro
tection of "Fanshawe of the Fifth" and
the "Victorof Salamis." It is a natural
transition from the heroes of old Greece
to "Thalassa", the old cry "The Sea !
The Sea ! "
Myra Kelly gives us a chance to renew
old acquaintances in "Wards of Lib
erty" and we find another old friend in
"With Juliet in England." Those in
clined to travel will enjoy the volumes
dealing with the "Cities of Spain", "Ox
ford", and the "Lake Country Sketches",
and those historically minded may con
sider "Our English Minsters", and "The
Great Day of Versailles."
That these titles give but a hint of
what is in store for all is shown by the
following complete list of new hooks and
their authors:
