Hoi ho!' laughed tha Image, "what la the odor It gives off T "Rosemary for re membrance,' I said. "Why must there be a new edition T pleaded the deity. 'Well.' I confessed, "according to the publishers. It won't die quite. And nothing Is really simpler than a re incarnation between wide margins.' " Then follows a luminous conversation between the two regarding new editions. rat copies, critics, dramatisation, etc. which will. b highly entertaining and amusing to those who know the history of Bakura-San, Hiss Cherry Blossom, and the closing paragraph will b ex planatory for, those who hare not yet made her acquaintance. - "Ther was a sudden whirring among the wheals of the clock. The deity wok in a trifle of alarm. 'Will you be so good,' said he, "as to turn the clock back. This I did." . This little prelude to the story Is don In Mr. Long's best literary style and la a quaint and charming acquisition to the story. The story opens at a legation ball at Tokto, where Mis Cherry Blos som Is undor the chaperonag of. Mrs. Haines, a young American widow, whom the reader discovers at the very outset to be a manager of other people's af fairs, and with a determination to man age tbem to suit herself. She has bril liancy, money and better than all, expe rience, which eh impresses upon th Iittlo Japane maiden' mind. ' Within th circle of the young ma tron's Influence comes Richard Holly, a secretary of th American legation, and Lieutenant Morton of th navy both rejeoted suitors for tha hand of Mrs. Haines" sister Nell and both well over th Infatuation when th story opens. But It suits Mrs. Haines to have her alster marry the secretary, as she knows her sister, for whom she has th only disinterested love In her heart. Is deeply In lov with "Dlck' Holly, and out of this determination com th tragedies or th story and around her manipula tions center its interest. At th legation ball Miss Cherry Blos som burst upon th two young men, a perrect vision of loveliness, "her halt dressed In the most becoming modern fashion, a lemon-colored gown straight from Paris, a complexion Ilk satin and wearing a big yellow hat" Sh was th bright, particular star of th even lng, and th very thing Mrs. Haines planned not to do was don by th young secretary hovering around her untu tne Japanese girl and Dick found their affinity and an Interest sprang up wnicn waa cemented ny the young man heroically aaving Bakura-San's life when an earthquake rok up th fes tivities or th evening. v - ' With this beginning th romanc de veloped rapidly, but mor rapidly Mrs. Haines acuta brain worked to check mate th lov affair, which th confid ing faith of th gtrl and th nobility of th man furnished, fruitful soil for her malevolent seeds to fall on. This Is th plot or th story, and while not new In conception It has a fresh and agreeabl originality In that It Is worked out In Japan with th environments of newly awakened conditions. , Mr. Long's familiarity with thes con ditions, and his study of th people, make his delineation of speech and char acter above question, but to th lay reader with th experience In America of th rapidity with which the Japanese take on American way and learn th language Miss Cherry Blessom's dialect and nalvette. regarding affair of th heart, are hardly consistent with a seven rears' resldenc and training at IV E GUARANTEE TO FIT THE HOST C03IFI1CATED CASES 1 kTrtiiijiirirtMJi- . i7 THE IEADI.VG OPTICIANS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST Bryn Mawr.

While th author haa written other books along this lint, notably "Th Trust Problem." this is probably the, best account yet. written of th economlo and social aspects of vast private accumulations of wealth. Not th least valuable section 1 that devoted to an examination .of tha. re sponsibilities Which such wealth Im poses on th Individual, Th view taken Is that, th possession of large fortune Is a stewardship of which th man of millions owes an accounting to society. - In his preface th author says: "Th substance 'of this book was given in lectures on tha Adln Ballou founda tion at Meadvtlla, Pennsylvania, and ths main thoughts have since been con densed Into a single lecture at different times and at different placea Bom of th auditor have kindly suggested that th thought herein expressed are worthy of a mor permanent form. Th subject at any rat is on that must be considered by everyone actively In terested In th welfare of his country; and If these talks can stimulate even to a small' degre careful Analysis of th motive and methods of fortune getting or thoughtful consideration of th methods and motives of fortune using they will not have been written In vain."

Nothing In all th astonishing revelations and suggestions of astronomy sppeala more to th Imagination than th possibility, long ago suggested, of life on other worlds thsn our own. Th possibility has gradually becom a -prob ability in the cas or th most neigh borly of th planet Mars; and for some time astronomers In various parts of th world hay declared that, their tele cope rave them much evidence of th existence of both vea-etabl and ani mal lire on that smalt bur tged planet, that tltey ax oooxceUed to out falla la their existence. In other words, th facts required by th theory are regarded as demonstrable Martian Ufa, perhaps Mar tian people. Is a scientific reality I Fore most among tha astronomers engaged In thia Investigation, Professor Lowell has been able, largely becaus of the peculi arly favorable position of his observa tory at Flagstaff, Arizona, to get clearer views more precise observations or th planet than his fellow-workers and his observations have been so long continued and pondered on that h has been universally acknowledged supreme' in tnis capacity. The present book is th outcome of this patiently gathered wis dom, and gives tha world all that ta au thentically known and believed by as tronomers, and how and why their fasci nating conclusions have been reached. It Is not addressed to sclentlfio men, primarily, but to the general public, and Is eminently readable, while ranking as a work that 1 permanently valuable. A great number of Illustrations clarify as well as embellish th text. Including a most Interesting and beautiful series of colored . plates showing . the aspect ef Mars at different seasons, now freshly green with new vegetation, then paling with the advanc of autumn.

It Is a feverish littl plot containing both comedy and trag edy, but ven In th most Intense altusA tlons th absurd Is so apparent It is hard to take them seriously. It Is the story of a century ago, when gentlemen couldn't spell, and th grievances wer settled between them at, .dawn of day with seconds and a surgeon for wit nesses.

Sir Peter and Lady Hawk shaw had had a. romantic .courtship which ended In an elopement that had becom family tradition, and young Rlohard had expected to find them liv ing ilk doves in a cage," and waa rath er disconcerted at the peremptory way In which my lady ordered ths admiral to take car of his young relative. "You behaved Ilk a wretch to th boy after th death of hi father and mother In America; and God has given you a chancs to make amends, and I say h shall have hi warrant." "Zounds, madam," brawled Sir Peter, "sine you tak th liberty of dlspoa lng of my warrants, I presume you are th holder of my commission as vice admiral of th Whit In hi majesty's service. Let me know if you are let m know, I say!'

ThU is an admirable and care fully worked out series of character studies of famous Japanes statesmen and soldiers. Th author ha a pro found knowledge of all th great men who. hav brought Japan to her present position. Especially Interesting Is the chapter on the mikado, who has always been for the most of us a considerable mystery. TWenty-two biographical says comprise th volume and Include accounts of many wall-known names, such as Msrquis Ito, Count Shoflro, Field Marshal Oyama, Admiral Togo and other equally prominent but not ao familiar in this country. Mr. Mor ris says In his preface: . " : 'In preparing this volume my object has been to convey (a) a general im pression of Japan and her people: b) ths working of reform, as exemplified In th lives or some or her patriots. In the several chapter devoted to th history of thes makers of Japan I hav aought to explain th part which ach, played in th Introduction of re form and to portray th situation in Japan now that those measures for which they wer responsible may be said to hav taken full effect.
