Davis, Richard Harding. Scarlet car. †$1.25. Scribner.
7–22818.
These sprightly stories, three in number, are brimful of adventure. A large red motor car furnishes the possibilities of romance which involves the affections of a charming Beatrice, young Peabody whom she drops unceremoniously, and Billy Winthrop, “the right man” of the scarlet car. “Knowing Mr. Davis’s taking ways where proper figured men and pretty women are concerned, and his ingenuity in finding interesting situations for them—noble, manly attributes for the men, graceful, girlish tricks for the women, sentiment for both—you do not need to be told any more details of the story of the scarlet car. You will find out for yourself.” (N. Y. Times.)
“A light, bright, little story for an idle hour or two.”

“Why should Mr. Davis, a man who knows Gallegher, make himself the literary chauffeur of such merely sleek, well-fed supernumeraries?”
