DAUGHTERS OF DESTINY
In the modern craze for foreign countries in which heroines of fiction may find potentates to control and policies to direct, Baluchistan has up to this time escaped. But L. Frank Baum, writing as Schuyler Staunton, has discovered it and pressed it into service. The result is an interesting concoction of travel and intrigue.

THE LAST EGYPTIAN
In "The Last Egyptian", the marvels of "The Arabian Nights" are reproduced. The story has its scene laid in modern Egypt, the Egypt of pyramids and trolley cars, of caravans and railways, of desert darkness and electric lights, of barbaric crudeness and porcelain bathtubs. The story rings true. It gets right down to business at the start, and every chapter bristles with exciting situations, intrigue, character study, love complications, fighting, treasure-hunting, and all the other elements which go to make a readable story.
