The pimples seem to dry right up and go away, declares a noted skin specialist. Nothing has ever been found to take the place of sulphur as a pimple remover. It is harmless and inexpensive. Just ask any druggist for a small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur and use it like cold cream.—Advertisement.

- ■ ■ Weekly Book Review ■ Four Publishers Unite Efforts to Make Possible Greater Enjoyment of Books
By WALTER D. HICKMAN □“ UST suppose you were invited to a party to meet ten well —J known writers. Also suppose that you were to meet John Galsworthy, Joseph Conrad, Arthur Twain, V. Sackville West, Harold Bell Wright, Ralph Connor, Booth Tarkington, Donald Ogden Stewart, Zona Gale, Gene StrattonPorter, Joseph C. Lincoln, Edith Wharton, Christopher Morley and Lothrop Stoddard. Would accept? Such an invitation is offered by four publishers —Appleton, Doran, Doubleday Page and Scribner. The party may be held right in your' own home if you obtain a copy of “American Nights Entertainment,” by Grant Overton. This book is issued jointly by the four publishing houses and was written “because of the rapid spread of the habit of reading books, developing in its march an interest in the personalities of authors. Few developments of the early part of this centery are more encouraging than the new attention to books,” the author states. In this book, the reader is asked to shake hands wdth Tarkington and the others. It’s a nice feeling to be able

Fifty Years "Fifty Years,” by Bishop William Lawrence of Massachusetts, will soon be published by Houghton Mifflin Company. Bishop Lawrence recently celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of his services as Bishop. It was the occasion of a distinguished gathering at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Boston. At this time Bishop Lawrence briefly reviewed the story of his spiritual life for the last fifty years since his graduation from Harvard. Much which the Bishop wished to say remained unsaid because of the necessity of brevity. Now he has prepared a fuller record of his life and thoughts, which will be published In book form. It is also the story of his generation dn its religious development.
to sAy, "Oh, I know Booth. We are quite good friends.” And it is also a nice thought when four great publishing houses can get together for the purpose of getting
more people better interested in some of the leading writers of the day. Now Let the Party Begin at This Minute Overton introduces you to Tarkington as follows: “In the interesting procession of his work. Booth Tarkington has pretty well paralleled the somewhat vacillating development of popular literary taste in his country. This, there is every reason to believe, has resulted from no conscious intention. The fashion, in considering Mr. Tarkington, has usually been to contrast what are called his two natures—the romanticist who wrate ‘Monsieur Beaucaire’ and the realist (mere or less) who wrote ‘The Gentleman From Indiana’ and ‘The Turmoil.’ Very sensibly has it been pointed out that the two strains are manifest side by side in a number of his novels, such as ‘The Conquest of Canaan,’ where the realism of character is sadly Impaled on the rocks of plot.” After giving Indianapolis the credit of being the place of Tarkington’s birth, Overton states; "Much on the sentimental side is made to this day of Tarkington’s singing of ‘Danny Deever’ at class gatherings and reunions (at Princeton.) After leaving
Piinceton, Tarkington returned to Indianapolis and pursued the busy social life possible to a young man of the town while at the same time he read a good de<y and tried various styles of writing.” You will recognize a whole lot of Indianapolis in the many pages de voted to Tarkington. Must hurry on, because I want you to meet Harold Bell Wright. Wright Had a Hard Start *- but He Made the Grade Overton gives you this inside on Harold Bell Wright, famous for writing “That Printer of Udell’s,” “The Mine With the Iron Door” and others, as follows; "Mr. Wright has never concealed the purpose behind his novels, stories. It is to say plainly some word that he believes will be of help, If uttered, to men and women. In his strange personal history lies the seed of a novel more absorbing, if less credible, than any he has written. The poor boy, the boy~left motherless at 10, the man out of work, the man with an empty stomach and no means of filling it, the man who has been tpld that ‘the rock pile was intended xor fellows like you.’—and through it all the sleazy thread of ill-health, down right sickness, and the scarlet strain of disease. Then the haphazard wandering * * • and at last he finds himself in the OzarH Mountains looking for—what? For the chance to live, first of all.” I wanted you to meet Ralph Connor, Zona Gale, Train and the others. Guess you will have to continue the
