Business Career of Peter rather behind his usual standard his character trying too many things before finding his call ing and even then the moment he finds it the book ends presumably with the intent to tell of the further ad ventures of Peter in another book ''Peter is not a very admirable char acter and the reader is at a loss to un derstand how the famous business ad viser of the tale finds enough in the boy to undertake to make him practi cally a partner in his very important and lucrative business Peter up to then has been a loafer a wastral a forger crooked in many ways in busi ness deals and his only 'retrieving qual ity seems to be an unusual ability as a salesman Where Mr previous bookTDawson showed' practicable ways of running a retail store and thereby gave full value to the reader in search of such information and of that incentive this later work does not give much information except as to methods of salesmanship and by the time they are introduced into the story the tale is over (Page Boston) IRST NOVEL The story of a climb to fame over the shoulder is not a wee in invested frrf'Pi of enough allowance for the artistic tem perament to admit of a child of 4 years

he forms a platonic marriage with a young girl who1 pro ceeds io efface herself entirely in order to contribute toward his success supreme selfishness and egoism admit of the sacrifice not even allowing her a place in the sunshine of his sub sequent fame and prosperity It is only througlu awakening of jealousy when she pretends to elope with an other man that he comes to a realiza tion of what the wife means to him and even then it is more a matter of the possessive instinct the primeval than tlirough any true love The author who is known as one of the most successful of English actors
