In this picture of old New York and in the picture of a human nature that does not change from one thousand years to another, Mr. Hughes does completely interesting work. The center of the story is the lady of the dinner party, the one who turned the heads of all the city gallants, finally choosing @ man_much too good. for her. Nothing the matter with the lady, however, e pt t she is frankly and open human. She does all of the things that women do to- day—this awful today of which we hear so much.

Mr. Hills here presents a study of th political forces which not only objectify the issues of the world war itself. but which ser besides, to trace the course of the peace confer- ence and to interpret the terms of the peace treaty of Versailles. This political study ig based upon an anal- ¥sis of the mass of historical material accumulated by the peace conference and released from its practical s crecy only upon the signing of the peace treaty. This release of mate- rial came about through the medium of the press and the publication of certain official documen: It was the work of this author to gather this scattered material, to organize it and then to subject it to the analytic study which produced this summary of conflicting political ideals. For, from first to lagt, throughout the con- ference, and, indeed, throughout the war itselt, {wo irreconcilable forces were at work. The one embodied the principle of empire, the other em- bodied the principle of democracy. Throughout this thorough analysis this fupndamental opposition appears as the culminating point of each set of conclusions. In summarizing his work Mr. Hills says, “In the Paris peace’ conference, two irreconcilable philosophies of government were in contact, and a harmonious settlement could not be reached Overwhelm- ing advantage in negotiation lay with the adherents of the old tradition. Had the entente governments been democracies, with a political and so- cfal organization like that of the United States. with executive and con- gresses responsive to the popular will, the peace conference might have taken on the aspect of a world par- liament, in which the will.of the ma- jority afforded a sufficient sanction for its decisions.” Keenly intelligent study and one of exceeding usefulness to students who are curfous to know why the United States cannot see eye to eve with the political theorists who are advocating a world state for tomorrow. ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY; And_Burial of the Unknown Dead. By Mary Frances Adams. Wash- ington, D. C An appealing and attractive little ®ook, admirable in both purpose and workmanship. It presents Arlington —now come to be a national rom its various points of For immediate use it stands as a competent guide to the cemetery. presenting it first in it$ broad anhd general features of situation and plan. It then moves into a series of .orderly dlrections for seeing the many high points of interest with which the ®reat burial field is so thickly stud- ded. Touches of personal history and achievement for this great soldfer. or that one, go along with the mere guidance from place to place. This part of the book covers an excellent description of the cemetery as a whole. Leading to this part is a short sketch of the history of Arlington, a particularly clear and interesting sketch that covers the place from the time that this tract was acquired on through the building of the beautitui mansion and its occupancy by the Custis and Lee families, and still fur- ther on to the time when the war of mecession turned Arlington over to the Tnited States, which, finally, secured for it its present use and significanc The little book ends with the story of that November day two years ago when. in a ceremonial of gratitude and love. an unknown soldler from the world war was reverently given Ris long home in this lovely and hal- Jowed £pot. The hook. so genuine in its feeling, is made even more desira- le by a free use of beautiful photo- raphic' views of one and another of the outstanding points in this great mational fleld of the dead. Any one would be glad to have this competent and feeling book. @HE WOMAN OF THE HORIZON, By Gilbert Frankau, “Peter Jameson," etc ! The Century Compan “Sugar and spice and everything nice” is merely the nursery account- ing of those odds and ends of dream, blood_impulse, desire and flashes of actual €ight out of which young men are forever creating ineffable ideals of the “one woman.” This is the story of Francis Gordon's quest of his own ideal woman. Evoked from nothing Jess than a poetic youth's rapt con- templation of the perfect Taj Mahal ‘clothed in_moonlight, it is obvious that this farticular Young man, at Jeast, will never get nearer than the horizon to his ideal. However, along the way, young Gordon, of hopeful and experimenting bent, with money and leisure and yonth and poetic dimaginings to divert him, more than bnce forgets that remote woman of the sky line and goes adventuring within hand’s reach. This story opens with an ardent and aspiring youth. It closes with a little older youth, somewhat chastened, a bit austere, still looking outward toward the un- attained. In between we come upon a rich young man of easy mind and comfortable morals, who, with a good deal of regularity, partakes and sets aside, as he resumes his horizon- ward way. The best the young man has to offer to feaders is the realistic and picturesque account of his fai many lands. Otherwise, this is the story of man's customary tak- jectings as he goes along iself ‘from the devotion . woman folks. Good New York: author of | & New Books writing of the sort that is backed by unusual thinking and-a gift in pick ing out and combining the best words. SO THIS IS GOLF! By Harry Leon Wilson, author of “Merton of the Movies,” etc. New York; Cosmo- politan Book Corporation. “You bet it's a _good farce. Hard to see, though, what you get out of it. You're not interested In golf and couldn’t follow a game to save your life.” Bless you! There's.a lot more than golf here. As a matter of fact, the natural human instinct to set oneself to drama is all right here in this amusing nonsense. Everybody, like the man on the fifteenth tee, is, in his own mind, making clean and masterly sweeps through the air in real archangel style when, as a mat- ter of fact, he is, also like the man on the fifteenth tee, merely plowing up the ground like a peeved bull at the sight of an unapproachable red-coat- ed lady friend. That’s the fun of this humorous account. It is the universal instinct set to the terms of an am- bitious set-to with a common and popular game.” THE VISION OF DESIR By Mar- garet Pedler, author of “The Moon Out_of Reach” etc. New York: George H. Doran Comipany. Pure romance based on the familiar fact that a man, completely. disil- lusioned by disappointment in love, is able to gather up a brand-new set of {llusions and, under these, to behave and misbehave according to the ditional fashion of enamored lovers. And Anne Lovell is calculated to make a man see visions and dream dreams, Several do. So, it is not al- together plain sailing for this re. generate woour. for he is 4 wearing fellow with his incorrigible distrusts, behaving much of the time like a sulky little boy who needs spanking. However, thise Is a serious and romantic story, not to be' treated lightly or in flippant phrase. Just four people in it are quite worth while. There's Ann, first. Ann is a clean, sunny, sweet-smelling trump of a girl, though one sus- pects that the author &id not cast her in that particular mold. Then, there's her brother, Robin. Ann over again, but all man, nevertheless. Lady Su- san is crisp and fine. Sir Philip is grumpy, and fine, too. The rest fill in for e working out of a rather amblitious line of events. Interesting and well sustained in spite of certain handicaps. THE BELLS OF ST. STEPHEN'S. By Marian Keith, author of “Little Miss Melody,” ete. New York: George H. Doran Company. A joyous book of youth, with youth cast somewhat in the Polyanna mold. With the coming of the Erskine young the home of “dear uncle John,” min- iister of St. Stephen's, things began to happen. The first thing that hap- pened was the indignant retirement of the housekeeper, Mrs McTavish who, clearly, had designs on the good old minister's widowerhood. And from this center an active current of events moved out to include, finally, the whole town, much to the better- ment of that town. Mary is the really great power in this process of civic regeneration. A busy girl, Mary, who, in addition to ardors of this sort, is able to manage two perfectly good rivals for her affection. A bright, fresh-air story of vouth that should and, without doubt, will be of amaz- ing interest to any number of young readers—girls, partioularly. { Recent accessions at the Public Li- brary and lists of recommended read- ing will appear in this column each Sunday Drama.

FRATERNITIES MASONIC. REEMASONRY in all its branches apparently has given itself over to the entertain- : ment of the Ancient Arabic Order, the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, during the current week, and if not to entertainment of the nobles themselves, at least to enjoyment of the general festivities that will pre- vail during the week. The blue lodges, so far as they have reported, have “called oft” their com- munications scheduled in advance for the week, except tomorrow night, when Potomac Lodge, No. 5, will pre- sent the Entered Apprentice degree in Masonic Hall, West Washington, which can be reached easily from the cars that run to Georgetown: Anacostia Lodge, No. 21, which will present the same degree in Masonic Hall, Anacostia, which can be reach- ed easlly by the Anacostla cars of the Washington Railway and Electric line or by the navy yard cars of the Capital *Traction Company, and Mount Pleasant Lodge, No. 23, Which will present the Master Mason degree in the Masonie Hall, 14th and Ken- von streets northwest, reached by the 14th street s of the Capital Trac- tion Company Capitol Chapter, No. 11, Royal Arch Masons, will have the Royal Arch de- gree at a “high priests’ night” Friday in the new Masonic Temple on Sth street near I street northwest, which an be reached by cars of either rail- way system This is Shrine week. representative Masons section of the country are for the first time in many vears and in greater numbers than ever before the guests of the National Capital While the Shrine is not what Is usually understood of a Masonic body, its members are all Masons of the most advanced degrees in both the York and Scottish Rites of Free- masonry.

Man s not a free agent, although he comes nearer to it than any other animal. Has this privilege benefited him? T saw a statement the other day that more than half the stuff modern man puts into Lis stomach has no nutritive ‘value; that it is mere waste, much of #t harmful. As a re- sult of being freest of living things, he has accumulated most bad habits. If more than half our bodily habits are injurious, what proportion of our mental habits are? Probably the be- lief with least foundation in common sense is the belief in what we call | Socialism. Such a belfefis the waste | pile of sclentific investigation and ! intelligent thought; to accept it is fairly comparable with rejecting the pure gold at a smelter and accepting the slag pile. Yet it is probable that the most universal human habit is acceptance in some form of Soclalism. I never had an acquaintance who did not think there was “somthing in” the doctrine. A good many of my acquaintances have seemed fair- ly sensible, but after I have talked with them a time, I find they have the germ of folly disease‘lurking some- where in their minds, and its presence is sufficiently marked to render their thinking somewhat ineffective. Find, if you can, a man who does not be- lieve in some degree in help from a source outside of himself. If it isn't the king he believes too much in, it is his mind. And if It isn’t his mind, it is the state, or the nation, or co: structive thought. Everyone refuses to recognize the simple truth that he alone muyst determine his present and his future, and that there is no other help; that he must oppose many of his associates as he does microbes or diseases. | . ‘Why. | From Judge.
