Library Chats ■ Are you Interested in ideals? Then know that Ihe Ideal book for boys and girls measures just 6x8 3-4 Inches and that it is generously illustrated in color. This is the wisdom at which Houghton Mifflin company has ar rived only after hours of consulta tion with leading libraries and the educators of the country’s youth. A year ago they decided to publish this fail the Riverside Bookshelf, includ ing eight titles, "Heidi,” “The Story of a Bad Boy,” "Two Years Before the Mast” and "Ivanhoe,” They then decided to find out by serious In vestigation what the right size for such - books should be. The authori ties they consulted warned them against the very heavy juvenile, and advised something smaller than that, but larger than a novel. Of course they must be fully illustrated in color. Now the books are through the press and are presented in ideal proportions to the book buyer. Peter B. Kyne has just published a new novel, "Never the Twain Shall Meet,” which shows the author of the Gappy Ricks stories, “The Go-Getter,” and "Kindred of the Dust," in an entirely new light. "Never the Twain Shall Meet” is a romance of Cali fornia and the South seas. There are a few subjects of more perennial Interest to book readers than the true story of a successful life. Many men, including Andrew Carnegie and Edward Bok, have writ ten the Inside story of their rise, but few women. Kate Douglas Wiggln's autobiography, “My Garden of Memory," tells of the extraordinary story of a girl from a little Maine village, who found herself while still in her teens, quite hard up, and as far as she knew, possessing no particular gift for anything. How she rose to be one of America’s best known women and best loved writers, makes a poignant and inspiring story. An afhateur naturalist recently wrote to Harry L. Foster, taking ex ception to the statement in "A Beach comber in the Orient,” that the ele phant is the most Intelligent of ani mals. Ifc'aturallst and author were just warming up to the controversy, when the naturalist called a truce, stating that his wife, who had played in the New York Hippodrome with a cast which Included elephants, had overruled him and confirmed Mr. Foster's opinion. Mr. Foster's new hook contains a chapter describing the work of the pachyderms In a Siamese hardwood forest. John Drinkwater's "Robert E. Bee” will take its place with the author's “Abraham Lincoln” as one of the great plays of recent years.

WHEN YOU THINK OF BREAD, THINK OF ME—PETER PAN Baked by Petersen & Pegau Baking Company eat In his book which is very popular with library patrons. "Boswell's .Tonson" in one of tho most entertaining books in tho Eng lish language, but it is of enormous length, and its good things are em bedded in a mass of material that is not of universal interest. Boswellians will read it all, and ask for more, but the ordinary reader passes it by alto gether. In that he makes a mistake, because there is an immense amount in it that he would thoroughly enjoy. Archibald Marshall, the English nov elist, has prepared a shortened edition of the work for the average reader, presenting a complete portrait of the great doctor as the admiring Bos well saw him, but by Judicious omis sions throwing into relief those parts of the book which make it so emi nently readable.
