Cator, Dorothy. Everyday life among the head-hunters, and other experiences from East to West. $1.75. Longmans.
“We needn’t pretend here to follow Mrs. Cator in her wanderings, but she spent two years in Borneo and lived among the gruesome ‘head-hunters’ while her husband dealt with lawbreakers among them. She visited China and Japan, (before the last war) and has spent several years upon the worst parts of the African west coast, living there much of the time in mud huts among the natives and seeing them as they are.” (N. Y. Times.) Her narrative is of exceptional interest. Many photographs illustrate the volume.
“Mrs. Cator writes simply and straightforwardly, just, we should imagine, as she talks: and her book is not only chatty and amusing, but contains some very fresh and clear-sighted comments on government, civilization, foreign missions, etc.”

[*] “Her narrative has sufficient charm and vivacity to justify its publication.”
