[AROUND 'Reviews of New Books other night and charged an thing people can talk about these [ i MAN stood on a platform the audience so much per for the assertion that “The only days is money, and the pleasures that woney can buy.” By way of contradiction, one of his, listeners tabbed down these three bits from little talks she had heard throughout that day: He was telling about it in an office at lunch time. A man connected with a railroad ad- ministration was on duty for three years in a little adobe town on the Denver and Rio Grande. It was his business to meet the incoming train and he noticed that each time it was due a woman would come down a mountain trail leading an old gray horse. She would wait with expect- ant anxiety until the cars moved on. and then lead the horse back over the in. And she never missed a Not in all the three years. At first he wondered why she should be leading the horse instead of rid- ing, but after the novelty wore off he supposed that, like himself, she must have business to attend to, and it hap- pened that he didn't think to speak of it to tHe station agent until just be- fore he was about to come away. And the agent said: “That is one of the pathetic stories of western life. When [ was new here, the sight of her leading that old horse down the trail day after day got S0 on my nerves that I asked her about it. But all she answered was: “*He told me he would come back on this train.’ “And she has been coming to meet him for over ten vears.” £ Rush work was over for the day, and as he chatted over his cigaretie his memory harked back to a long- gone trip to the seashore. “I remember how surprised we were to see Maggie Mitchell, the ac- tress, strolling on the beach with her husband. 1 made myself known und after a little friendly talk she told me that she had_a specially pleasant recollection of Washington because of a romantic love affair during one of her engagements here. “He sent me the dearest little let- ter, though the writer never made himself known. On the last night of my season, however, as Ileft the theater I noticed, standing a little aside, a boy who had caught my at- tention some nights before—an at- tractive boy. not grown—who was lcoking at me 8o earnestly that I have always thought that he might have been my admirer—no, not mine, but “Fanchon's, as I was old enough to be the dear child’s mother—and it so pleased and touched me_that of all the Jetters that came to me during my years on the stage his is the only one I have kept.” 1t your own memory is elastic enough to stretch back to shat flash of human sunlight who was Maggie Mitchell. you will know that she must have received love letters enough to keep a post office going. And if that once-on-a-time boy. who was not “grow could know of the tender humor that kept his callow infatua- tion on file, he would doubtless go to his_mirror and say to the oldish, world-hammered man he mot there— Rut maybe he would rather keep a secret like that from us. You know you would. your ownself. All of us would. Two women were pitying a boy who had just been injured by an au- tomobile, and the one who had read about it in the paper was reminded of some other boy—a thing that hap- pened a long time back: “Dr. Gregg Custis had him sent to the hospital. and when he ‘was brought home with a crippled hir the poor child grieved because he would never be able to work for his mother. Dr. Custis treated him as carefully as | delightful if he had been the son of a rich man, and one morning after the boy could hobble about the room brought around a tiny cart hitched to a_ Shetland pony and told him he could go to work. It was his gift to the boy. And he made a good living for his mother and himself with that cart and pony, selling milk—from the day he started at thirteen years old until he died, when he was about twenty-seven.” * k¥ % COUPLE—both gray and lumpily contoured—started an argu- ment in a car. and the passengers sat around and listened. It was not an equal contest, for the man took her theory—based-on a medical journal— and gave it the thing we call par- ticular fits: “T'll admit that women live longer than men, but it isn't on account of man’s excesses—n by a long shot.” “Wouldn't you think a medical au- thority ought, to know what it's talk- ing about?” ‘Not by no manner of iheans, ne didn’t think that way, as a few care- fully censored opinions implied. “You take the average young man. He has stronger teeth than the aver- age young woman, and Il bet he takes better care of them. He has a healthier complexion, because he keeps it free {rom grease and paint stuff and | he doesn’t ruin in with straight front contraptions—"" “But_look at the way he smokes ciga”—but never mind what the woman &aid; he didn’'t. ‘m not denying that in life's gen- eral round-up Women outlast men be- cause I have no statistics to show to the contrary. but I do protest the the- ory that man—average man, under- stand—shortens his days by excesses. My explanation is that he IS overex- travagant with his vitality; he has endless years to be gay and rompy in, while you poor women have only a little while to be young in—and when you are no longer young you don't count—except to the folks who love you. Therefore, she sees the neces- 8ty of conserving hers. ‘Men are better risks than ‘women, in my line, sir,” the dispenser of knowledge grinned confabbily at the maa, and then, of course, everybody knew he must be an insurance agent. Even the defender of the medical Journal grinned back as she retorted: Tm not surprised. seeini that men &re not as self-sacrificing as women.” . And that about ended that. i * ok ok ok ’A BOY on a birycle whizzed around a corner aud knocked a, woman down. She must'have been built of something more durable than bones, | for before the boy could right hisi ‘wheel and get off it she had scram- bled to her feet, and. seeing his in- tention of first aid, remarked: “Thank you, son, I'm real obliged.” The youngster was awful sorry, and was saying 8o, In the honest way a boy has. when she interrupted. “That's all right! This makes the third time I've been run over and I ought to be used to it by now. The first upset—automobile—put me in bed for a week. The second—fender caught me—only laid me up two days and I shall probably be as spry as ever tomorrow; back hurts a little, but what I'm thanking_you for is you are the only -one of the three who o0k the trouble to feel sorry.” Which shows how easy a thing is —when you get used to it} NANNIE LANCASTER. — e WILL PICK CAST FOR PLAY.

T is the personal touch, as against abstract _treatment, that gives this travel book its outstanding charm and appeal.

But in Mrs. Greenbie’s free and open confidence I of what she herself did, of where { she herself went, of what she her-| self saw and heard and thought, | there is no question of one's hold- | | ing himself to the task of finding out.

THE FARM MOVEMENT. By Orville Merton Kile. B. Sc. New York: The Macmillan Company. Not a large number of books ar- rive just in the nick of time. This competent study of the present agri- | cultural movement, however, comes at the very moment when agriculture is stepping into the foreground for ! recognition, for ugderstanding, for consideration. . The average reader knows little about this movement, important though it be. And here is a book to his hand, since it gives, in readable manner, a comprehensive view pf the farm’ movement. The special character of the study fits it admirably to be a text book on this subject. It is concise, well selected, orderly and_clear—as a text book | should be. By way of introduction, ! Mr. Kile sketches the history of the farm movement, showing the various organizations that have risen in re- sponse to the farmer's not overclear vision of the economic and social ad- vantage of co-operation. This his- torical sketch gives way with the apoearance of the farm bureau itself. Beyond this point the book is de- scriptive of plans and achlevements, of readjustments to meet new condi- tions, of experiments to spread agri- | cultural knowledge and practice, of | the emergence of the business in- stinct in agriculture, with a national organization as expression of the business principle. Programs are laid down, definite and varied, for general helpfulneds. And, finally, the Farm Bureau, as a force in national affairs. is summarized. To the practical vatue of this book as a medium of information and instruction is added | the value that comes from an inter- esting presentation. The author Is able to tell an interesting story on the subject with which he is dealing. HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE. * By. Lord Frederic Hamilton, author of “The Vanished Pomps of Yes- terday,” etc. New York: George H. Doran Company. He has lived in or visited so many interesting places. He appears to have known about all the worth- while people of-an immediate past and of the running present. And of these people and these places Lord lHlmll!on talks to us in a face-to- face geniality of the resourceful and gentleman. These are kind and seasoned view$, with touches of mellow humor and gleams of wit all through them. India, South Amer- ica, the West Indies, the Spanish mainland, Europe, pass before one in these intimate flashes of recollection and comment. | Lord Hamilton blends big events with everyday happen- ings—just as life does—and secures, by this method, a’most lifelike series Llite. {HENRY ELIZABETH. By Justin Huntly McCarthy, author of “If I Were King,” etc. New York: John Lane Company. ! 1f you like your romances planted {In the soil of history this one will suit you. It yeu like your heroes made of real man stuff, whatever the Iperiod of the making, this-one will delight you. The story is set in Eliza- {bethan England, making a vivid pic- {ture of the London town of three and « half centuries ago. It opens in thel iwest country of Devon, where Henry { { Elizabeth, untaught in city ways. is, | ineverthcless, an' English gentleman {of good degree, and a man all ithrough. The Mcident that takes him ito London and enlists him in the service of the queen provides, as well, the inspiration that turns Henry Elizabeth into a lover and, finally, into & most kpightly hero of romance. Political _copeplracies against the {throne, with Mary of Scotland as their active center, spread the background of this adventure. A lovely lady in duress proves to be the spur that pricks Henry Elizabeth to a most prodigious gallantry of endeavor and achievement. A spirited and colorful romance that embodies. besides, a good and consistent picture of Eliza- bethan da: ROADS GOING SOUTH. L. Duffus.. New York: lan Company. New England has bred a type, just as Virginia has, just as the west is doing. And any type is, after all. largely a matter of sky and soil and rainfall, with a,dauh o!y(he spirit for Ispecial ' coloring. Mr. Duffus’ new [novel is the study of a departure from ithe New Englani type by the blood tinfusion of softer influences than this {rock-bound coast is said to command. iThis is the story of Joe Chapin who, |as a matter of course. i3 to follow the profession -of his father, Dr. Josiah Chapin, of a small New Eng- land town. The story is a close fol- lowing of the spirit of Joe Chapin in his struggle between filla] duty agd the passionate urge of his own artis- tic soul. Knowledge in all lines—; travel, music, literaturs, the love of friends—these are the Lesetments of young Joe. It is a common story, out tof books, this rebellion of youth iagainst the life lines set authoratively | down by the elders. Not often within a book., however. does ome find so keen an appreciation of this common misunderstanding of youth. And to ! this keen comprehension of the basic; |fact itself the author adds a sincere revelation of it, presenting the strug- | gles and conflicts of Joe Chapin with sympathy, and a kindly humor, and a fine artistry of workmanship. A new that will comme: itself to readers who are looking for some- { thing other than mere diversion in their novel reading. THE SCHOOL MISTRESS; And Other Storles.” By Anton Chekhov.
