...Tarrant- Lippincott ($2). A mousy little clerk accidentally becomes a gentlemanly crook by night, worries his old landlady, a woman boarder and all of Scotland Yard, while amassing a fortune, without murder, for a "Sacred Cause." THE MOONSTONE AND THE WOMAN IN WHITE-Wilkie Collins-Modern Library ($1.10). Reprint, in readable type, of two detective classics; with an introduction by Alexander Woollcott.

The Life and Adventures of John Nicol is one of the first autobiographies of the sea written from the point of view of a common sailor. A brief, well-written book, beautifully Dound and illustrated...
