Places where the motor boat cannot go, Brederode has his motorcar conveniently waiting to take the party, so that both waterways ami inland are visited, and In thla lies thii great value of the story. Of course, at the start the render concludes here are the two girls and the two men to furnish the romance, and so they do, to a limited degree, hut tile little hired chaperon has to be taken Into account, and the first conclusions of the reader are somewhat awrv and it has not the tame, conventional end ing It promises In the start. The de scriptions and history, together with the romance would really make a very good book If there was nothing else to commend It, but Mr. and Mrs. Wil liiims have the added gift of being able to pollfh up, with delicate wit and hu mor, the good materials they have brought together, until the story sparkles like a brilliant gem This Is characteristic of their writ ings.

The party prejudice that for years wrapped Itself around (trover Cleveland has now been cast aside, and the world looks upon him as the man VV )'- HX-y ; and not as the standard-bearer of one of the great political parties. In looking upon him from this stand point, then, through the mist of strife and years, he appears one of our best types of American citizenship. And li wc so regard him, now that he has passed bpyond caring for words ef praise or blame, we must feel that his words spoken on the subject of good citizenship are of the utmost value and Importance. This little book contains two of his most notable addresses, the one deliv ered before the Commercial clab of Chicago in October, 1003, on "Good Citizenship," and the other on "Patriot ism anel Holiday Observance." before the I'nlon league on Washington's birthday, 190". In an Introduction the publisher says: "Here Is a man who preaches what for a lifetime he has been prac ticing," and It is quite worth while to read the book and study the character of Orover Cleveland, and learn whut he has tried to teach as good citizen ship. Here Is one phase of what he consid ers g'Xid citizenship. Jle says: "It Is true that there should be n end of self-satisfied gratification, or pretense of virtue. In the phrase. -l am not a politician.' and It Is time to forbid the prostitution of the word to a sinister use. Everv iltixen should be politician enough to bring himself within the true meaning of the term, as one who concerns himself with the regulation of government of a nation or state for the preservation of its safety, peace and prosperity ' This Is politics in its best Sense, and this Is good citizenship" That Cleveland as an optimist regard Ing our future citizenship may be seen bv this utterance "In the day when all shadows aliall have passed sway and when good citizenship shall have made S'ire the safely, permanence and hap piness of our nation, how small lil ap pear the srlfes of selfishness In our civic life and how petty will seem the machinations or degraded politics The second address strongly empha sizes the neej we have to stop and do honor to those who have rendered our" country Immortal service not for' their sake, but for ours. He sas "If your observsnce of this day were Intended to make more secure fhe Immortal fame of Washington, or to add to the strngth and beauty of his monument, built upon a nation's sffertionate re rard, your purpose would be useless. Washington has no need for you. But In every moment, from the time he drew bis sword In the cause of Amer lean Independence to this hour, living or dead, the American people have need him."

Taste Is such an Individual thing, with Ideas of beautv go widely verging, that hard and fast rules can hardly tie laid down for anyone, though of course a sense of fitness might be established; but It Is doubtful If many would even re gard any rules in this. As everyone realizes, the furnishing of a home de- Sends largely upon the financial con ltion of the home-builders, and the taste in the selection of Its furnishings Is the development of earlier years of culture. It can not be learned from books, though we admit reforms may be begun In the child, looking to the years when she will be a home-maker, but few would take the trouble in ma ture years to study what other people thought beautiful, for most housewives think they know better than anyone else what they like In their owri home. And if to them It Is beautiful they should have It If all the world thought It hideous, for each home is a kingdom unto Itself.

Anyone who Is fond of a boat, be it a knock about, cat or sloop, and anyone who Is fond of the sea and a good time, will thoroughly enjoy this fresh, breezy, and amusing yarn, which describes the ex periences of a clever woman afloat and ashore with her very nautical husband. The scenes range from Ixing Island sound and the harbors of the Maine coast and Cope Cod to the Mediterra nean nnd the lagoons of Venice; and the craft In which the llveJy action passes Include about everything, from sloops and Swampscott dories to lateen rigged Mediterranean fishing boats and Venetian gondolas. Mrs. Vorse Is one.of the most suc cessful magazine writers of the day. Two diverting love stories are woven Into the narrative, and its lively give and take of repartee makes It as de lightful summer reading as could well be Imagined.
