Though varying In color of cover, theae

in arrangement of committees formerly
suggested In the Bulletin Is repeated.
There are mainly two kinds of commit

fHE LOCAL committee for the Bos
I ton biennial convention haa Just
sent out the following bulletin:
The hotels committee have been asked
the following questions In regard to
hotel accommodations:
1. How do prices differ for rooms
on different floors T
S. How do they differ between out
side and rear rooms 7
I. Are there any single roomsT
4. Ia there any reduction for two
persons In a room or more?
By referring to press bulletin No. 4,
laeued last spring, it will be seen that
In most of the hotels named, the prices
vary according to alaa and location, and
that the expense is lessened when two
Set-sons share a room. At Hotel Ven
ome, however, the price does not vary,
and Is $4.00 per day single room for
one person, including meals, $8.00 per
day for double room with two persons.
oouoie room occupied by one person is
$.oo per day,
Owin to the fact that the week of
the biennial convention Is alao the week
of commencement at Harvard and other
New England colleges, it will be neces
sary for delegates to engage accommo
dations as early aa possible.
Kooms cannot be definitely assigned
until within a few weeks of, the bienni
al, because occuoled bv ncrmanent
boarders who do hot leave the hotels
until near that time. All applications,
however, will be put on file as soon
aft received and. will be filled tn good
season.
For convenience end ease In placing
delegates without confusion to commit
tee or aruests. lists win do arranged ror
each hotel and alphabetical lists of del'
elates with the hotel to which eacn
is assigned. All applications for nc-
eommodatloris should be sent to the
chairman of hotels committee. Mrs.

HE good and forceful things that
Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson said dur
ing' her stay in America, are now
being compiled and pondered upon by
those who heard her, and here is one
that may appeal to the patriotism of
American women.
We ao not reel in cngmna tne wy
the women feel in America. Here tho
Women say that they have everything
they themaelves want, and, thereforo,
there Is no need for thorn to have any
trouble about the obligation or tne
Vote. Not many Wnmen in England
would dare to say that. The women
Who are rich feel more uncomfortable
About It, they feel a little more obli
gation on account of It. Show the men
or tha women of England that they
have a certain nubllo duty to preform.
and Jiomehow or other they rtae to tho
occasion. The duty of public aervioo
la born in the British race. Any man
who haa leisure looks Unon this pub
lic duty In the way that he looka upon
his duty to the church. It ia an Ideal
before him, and he feela that- he- must
give some or his time to it. women
have this same feel In sc. Some of our
richest women are beginning to feel
that they muat share In public work.

By Edith Wharton. Aa one
of the half dosen worke of

out this year, this one stands peculiarly
,iim. owina- to the eeveral distinct
phase's it presents to the reader. It is j Page 4 Co. Price $2

woven sround one separate and distinct
then he enters Into the real Interest
of the book by taking the reader with
him on an automobile trip over the
continent. Thoae who have read Mr
Miltouh's "Rambles" in various coun
tries will have some conception of the
rare pleasure In atore for them In a
trip of this kind.
The writer has unusual descriptive
powera; he sees wltk both eyes and
tells what he has seen in a vivid and
picturesque manner. His are not the
conventional boeks of travel, for lie
alwaya leaves the beaten path of tour
ist travel and seeks out the quaint and
pleasant by-paths, which he manages to
make far more Interesting than the
nobler and grander features so dear to
Cook tourists and the like. The pres
ent volume la elegantly bound In coarse
linen of a cream shade, with the typical
"chauffeur" framed in a tire for, cover
design. There sre many Illustrations
from photographs, decorations, maps
snd plans by Blanche McManus. L. C.
That there is a vast difference be
tween 'The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary"
as played by May Robsnn and the nutli
or's first version of the story Is evi
dent from the fact that Anne Warner re
wrote the orlslnal five times before It
appeared In book form, and then wrot
the play twice before It was satisfac
tory. Rut Anne Warner ia an Indefati
gable worker with her pen she never
uses a typewriter for during the year
1907, in addition to dramatising "Annt
Mary" ahe fcad 68 short etorlea printed
in America, and three of her book
brought out In England, and one, "Su
san Clegg and a Man In the House,"
published In this country, snd pre
pared the MSS. for two new books.
Furthermore, her publishers issued a
'Players Edition of "The Rejuvenation
of Aunt Mary," with additional libe
rations reproduced from ecenee In the
plnv, nnd sent her first book, "A Wom
an's Will," to press for the fourth
time.

Moody Thla Is a very unusual bonk.
It ia not written for literary people but
for the man who has few banks writ

the traveling man, whose power in the
world of commerce and Industry the

not so much the object for which It is
written as for the fund of hard husK
ness sense, acumen, and nice discern
ment of human nature with which tho
book Is filled. The author Is known for
his energetic work In connection with
organising the Chicago Association of
Commerce, and hla book clearly ahows
that he has a remarkable grasp upon
the business principles that make for
success in any business enterprise.
In a number of short chapters he
takes up the various relations betwen
proprietor, salesman snd customer, and
the different kinds of each; he deals
with those every-day things In llfo,
which. In themselves, are so trivial, but
which have so much to do in making
success or failure possible.
The book Is dedicated to "The Com
mercial Ambassador, 'The Man Who Sells
Things' ". In the foreword the author
aays: "When a man haa taken the 'third
