Adventures of The Infallible Godahl
By FREDERICK IRVING ANDERSON
These fascinating chapters from the career of a character even
more ingenious in conception than the famous Raffles have made a
great sensation during their publication in serial form. Not only
are they well worth reading for their interest-compelling plots,
but they gain an added value from the exceptional merit of the
author's literary style. Mr. Anderson has developed a vein of
fiction that well-nigh outclasses the work of both Hornung and
Conan Doyle.

_New Books of Distinctive Merit_
Women As World Builders
By Floyd Dell
This remarkable, timely book is attracting widespread notice. It
tells what the feminist movement actually is, what the women of
today want and how they are attempting to attain it. Every phase
of woman's work and aspiration is considered with sympathy and
understanding, free from any partisan spirit.
Norman Hapgood, in "Harper's Weekly," says: An extremely good
book. Floyd Dell is one of the few men who seem really to
understand what the feminist movement is. Most books on the
feminist movement are dull. Mr. Dell's is very readable.
An exhilarating book, truly young with the strength and daring of
youth, and as heartening to the women actors in this new, vivid
drama of unknown documents as the applause of many hands in a
darkened theatre.--_Chicago Tribune._

The Meaning of God in Human Experience
By WILLIAM ERNEST HOCKING, Ph.D.
_The profound impression which THE MEANING OF GOD IN HUMAN
EXPERIENCE, by W. E. Hocking, continues to make encourages its
publishers to bring it to the attention of readers of this
journal with the firm conviction that in doing so they are
rendering thoughtful students of religion and life no slight
service._
"These words also convey something of the sustained and
convincing eloquence of thought--not enthusiastic, but simply
vast and strong and careless, because sure."
--J. W. Scott in The Hibbert Journal.
"A vital, logical presentation of the human conception and
interpretation of God in present and past experience and of the
foundations of religion. The author discusses with originality of
thought the important trends of philosophy, pragmatic, realistic,
idealistic and mystical, now touching religion, yet his
conclusions are definite and constructive. Will interest students
of philosophy and religion. Excellent index."
--American Library Association Booklist.
"Every page bears evidence of years of patient study and thought,
and every chapter brings one face to face with some of the great
problems of psychology, philosophy or theology.... The student of
the psychology of religion will find much of value in these
sections. But the book is meant not for the psychologist chiefly,
but for the human being, in a large sense, who is reflecting
seriously over the problems of nature and destiny."
--The Nation.

The COLOUR of the EAST
By ELIZABETH WASHBURN
_Here is the essence of the East pictured with all the instinct
of a painter--pulsing colour, a sense of vivid life, elimination
of non-essential detail. To quote from the book_:
"There are colours everywhere and always--in the dawns and
sunsets, in the white moonlights and in the seas that drink in
all the colour of the swimming skies. All day the native life
pads along the roads without a sound. It meets, mixes in groups
and separates--splashes of red in turbans, flowing muslins,
scarfs of green and saffron and burnished naked skins."

unknown tongue, or else you will hail it with delight, as one of
those rare and delicious discoveries, to be lingered over and
reverted to, again and again, with ever new and infinite
appreciation."
It is the story of a woman over 30 who is having her first taste
of travel and pleasure.

NIETZSCHE _and other_ Exponents of Individualism
_by_ PAUL CARUS
Illustrated. Cloth, $1.25
"Of books on Nietzsche, we doubt whether any will be found more
simple in its analysis and interpretation of the writings of 'The
mad philosopher' than the present work."--_Pittsburgh Journal._
"A two-fold purpose is served by this book--a study of
philosophical anarchism and an interpretation of the theories of
Nietzsche."--_Brooklyn Eagle._
"A brilliant refutation of the mad philosopher's
doctrine."--_Toronto Globe._
"This exposition of Nietzsche's life and philosophy is probably
both truthful and fair and as nearly just as any that can be
made."--_Chicago Daily News._
"The book is so incisive and clear that it may be taken as an
introduction to the study of philosophy."--_Trenton Times._
"Nietzsche, to the average man, has been little more than a
name--a sort of synonym for turbulence--and violence of a nature
not clearly understood. To such, this book will be welcome. It
gives enough of both sides of the question of individualism to
enable the reader to judge intelligently the principle of the
'Overman'."--_Greensboro Daily News._
NIETZSCHE
"The appearance of a philosopher like Nietzsche is a symptom of
the times. He is one representative among several others of an
anti-scientific tendency. The author here characterizes him as a
poet rather than a thinker, as a leader and an exponent of
certain unruly and immature minds. Though his philosophy is
severely criticised, though it is weighed and found wanting, his
personality is described not without sympathy and with an
appreciation of his genius. His predecessor, Max Stirner, and
other kindred spirits less known than Nietzsche are also
introduced, and if the reader adopts the author's views he will
condemn the tendencies and thoughts of these erratic philosophers
but at the same time appreciate their aspirations and love them
in their very errors. The fundamental error of them all is an
extreme individualism which regards every single person as an
absolute autonomous sovereign being, while a consideration of the
origin of personality proves them to have originated within and
under the influence of the social surroundings of communities
from which they cannot be separated and of which they are and
will forever remain parts. In this relation of the individual to
society lie the roots of ethics. The individual cannot cut
himself loose from his social surroundings without doing harm to
himself; and the rules which this interrelation imposes upon the
several members of society constitute an obligation which we call
duty."

It is not a "problem" or "sex" novel; it does not deal with woman

story for entertainment. Most of the scenes are laid in the big
out-of-doors; it fairly breathes the spirit of the open. It is
swift in movement, full of constant surprises, unusual
situations, bright and witty in dialogue; through it all runs an
absorbing romance deftly woven. Diane of the Green Van is
wholesome and clean--with stirring action and striking drama.
