Isuiuh 62:7. Books for a Desert Isle There has been a great todo among literateurs and near- literateurs on the question of what book or books each in case of shipwreck, would salvage to bear him com pany on the desert isle on which, putatively, he would be cast. Naturally the divergence ol opinion was great, for there is scarcely any subject regarding which tastes differ so much as they do about boons. Wliile many agreed on the Uible and Shakespeare as indispensable, the choice in other respects took a wide range. Homer, Sophocles, l'lutarch, Aristotle, l'lato, Horace and other classic writ ers were often mentioned, and there was a great run on moderns like Scott, Kingsley, Kant, Dickens, Thackeray and Victor Hugo. .The neo-Olympians are, however, dissatisfied be cause of the paucity of selections among tne very mod erns', Outside Kipling, whom, the new generation of crit ics holds in such scorn, and one or two others of still more recent fame'JflWtfe', wak'f Significant dearth of reference to any present 'cultivators of the of authorship, and not one of the alleged bestsellers had a single champion. One rather practical gentleman said he would be sure ' to take along a .large unabridged dictionary and another voted for a good encyclopedia in 20. or 30 volumes.' The former might find the stories rather short, but both, if conscientious readers, would find literary pabuhun, of a sort, that would last a long timev. i A perfectly 1'hilistine suggestion, of course, is that, .1 . i i i- . i. . . . . l.. .ir At- in WTe event or a real snipwrecK, tne victims, including uie eminent authorities whose opinions were quoted would be so. occupied with frenzied attempts to save their lives that they would have no though to give to books.

The fact that she happens to think as he does won't keep a man's wife from contradicting him. It is all right to profit by the mis takes of others, but a wise man will not lorgct his own. The Americans are becoming a pessimistic people, unable to view an altruistic act on the part of a public man without suspecting him of a selfish motive. And they are right, just about often enough to keep them suspicious permanently. The following tale is told on a prominent shoe man: "An unusually amasting incident was witnessed by. a customer in a prominent shoe store, the other day. iA lady of stu pendous dimensions, stylishly- nttir ed, entered the store and seated her self to be waited upon. Soon a bald headed clerk came up to serve her. After rejecting this . pair and that, she decided on some brown oxfords. The clerk knelt down to lace them, and she looked down andsnw the' bald head. Thinking that was her rolled topped knee, she modestly drew her skirt over it." The ill jaw iT'iTirmnnw Suits ana Coats For Spring!
