Th Ladles' Aid society represented
Zenith's social activities and four

bad simply chronicled ths sayings-and

have had a story well worth reading, for
four better, more consistent, well por

"The Black Bag," by Louis Joseph
Vance. In the present story Mr. Vance
In no wiss dimmed the brilliant reputa
tion he made for himself when he wrote
"The Brass Bowl;" but on the contrary
has advanced himself a notch higher in
tne neid or notion writers.
Like "The Brass Bowl," this story
never tarries on the -way, but goes for-
woru wan compelling inierem ironi ut
cinnlna to end. It has pronounced dra
matic qualities and will no doubt tempt
the playwrights to una liberties with
it as they did with' the other. The hero
of the present story is about to sail for
America, naving loat an ma worldly
possessions in the San Francisco dis
aster. He la waltlna- In London the de
parture of his vsssel when he is unex
pectedly drawn into a plot, the nature

ter of tha chief conspirator he is so in
love with her he stays in for her pro
tection, and becomes a part of ths most
daring schemer, hair-breadth es
capes, and tbilUiag adventures. The
lot and conspiracy centers about a
lack, gladstone bar which contains
priceless Jewels. It belongs to the
heroine of the story, but a well laid
plan has been made, and until tho very
end of the story, has been well executed
to defraud her of it, and of other in
heritance. The story is exceedingly in
tricate and hss many oomplications
which it reauires ths intelllsence of
Scotland Yard, at times, to extricate it
from. As a whole it brings together tha
elements of a fins romance and a
cleverly written detective story, though
It would not properly come under this
latter class of literature. Bobba Merrill

The Marriage of Mrs. Merlin," by
Charles Stokes Wayne. The advance
notices of this book give rather an er
roneous impression of the story when
they state "that ever-interesting matri
monial problem, the trial marriage,
finds this fssclnatlng tale a novel and
daring solution." for the marriage of
Mrs. Merlin Is in no sense a "trial mar
riage," but wholly a "marlage da oon-
venince." There Is a wide difference in
the commonly accepted meaning of these
two terms. Mrs. Merlin was the 26-
year-old widow of an aged California
multimillionaire, who had induced her
to marry him, . a few days before his
death, that shs 'might Inherit his large
fortune. After a year or two of wan
dering over the world she found a rich
and handsome young widow had troubles
of her own, and a husband, only, would
protect her from this army of fortune
hunters she encountered in every land, 1
