a clear revolutionary program will serve them better than chasing after petty reforms. Every man or woman who intends to do any writing or any public speaking on socialism must read this third volume or else find himself at a needless disadvantage. And to understand the third volume you must have read the other two. Better order them at once, and be ready to read Volume III when it appears, a few weeks from now. DUGHTS OFA DOL ADYS Thoughts of a Fool, by Evelyn Gladys, is a delightful book of essays, emphasizing an essential part of the international socialist program that is sometimes misconceived by our well-meaning friends and sometimes misrepresented by our clever enemies. The morals of working people are now rigidly regulated by judges, policemen, and sometimes priests. But revolutionary working people are perverse enough to think themselves competent to regulate their own morals, and while they propose to socialize the means of production, they also propose to stop the meddlesome interference of functionaries 'with other people's affairs. Those who share this view will enjoy the keen satire of "Thoughts of a Fool"; those who think their own and their acquaintances' morals need regulating should let the book alone; it would annoy them. It is beautifully printed and will make an acceptable Christmas gift if sent to the right person. Cloth, $1.00. CHARLES H. KERR & COMPANY, (Co-operative) 153 East Kinzie St., Chicago.

OUT OF THE DUMP This story by Mary E. Marcy, which started as a serial in the REVIEW for May, and is completed with this issue, has been so enthusiastically welcomed by comrades everywhere, that we have decided to bring it out in book form for the holidays. Ralph H. Chaplin, whose design appears on the front cover of this month's REVIEW, is at work on a number of original drawings which will be reproduced in the book. It will be daintily bound in cloth with a striking cover design, and large type, good paper and wide margins will add to its attractiveness. In the pages of the REVIEW this story has been read by few who are not already socialists, but we are convinced that in its new form it will appeal irresistibly to thousands whom we have as yet failed to reach. Do you remember the success of "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch"? That was a story of the proletariat from the point of view of the capitalist, setting forth the heights of bliss attained by the "worthy poor" who cultivated capitalist virtues. OUT OF THE DUMP is a story of the real proletarians by one who understands them. It will delight the workers who read it, and will be a startling if not an agreeable novelty to the patronizing philanthropists who are willing to do everything for the working people EXCEPT to get off their backs.
