'BEHOLD THE
A NOTED
WOMAN
COURTESAN
TV Everett Hare Offers Novel
'of Fourth Century and
Its Paganism,
BEHOLD THE WOMAV, br T. Ewftt Haxre.
3 B. Lippincott, 1'blladelpbla. $1.35 net.
. "Behold the Woman" is a romance
of the fourth century when paganism
was at Ita helgrht. The novel records
the atmosphere, the social order and
the historical characters of that time,
wuh' all its cruelty and its licentious
ness. The "woman" is Mary, a powerful
Alexandrian courtesan, who amidst
the vices and excesses of the age, be
comes eminent Jaeeause throjigh her
shame, finding1 redemption, however.
In her quest for love and struggle
against exploitation.
Mr. Harre treats in detail the life
, of the time of which he writes, cloth
ing in romanticism historical facts
and figure's. His style, attention to
detail and description, may be gleaned
from the following passage concerning
his heroine's toilet, offered particular
ly for the benefit of thohe who may
think that feminine "make-up" is some
thing new:
Tiling- of Mystery.
"Mary's toilet was a thing of mys
tery, secret and sacred. There were
women in Alexandria who would have
l-glven a fortune to learn the esoteric
aits imparted by Apnroaite trie uivme
to her priestess. Upon her perfect
body Mary changed the hue f roml am
ber unto the blue whiteness of milk;
from the pallor of ashes and lilies to
the glow of the JNile pnmphaeus.
"Treated first with a solution of
Baffron and gum arabic, Mary's hair
was powdered with fine gold, giving
It the rich luster of burnished copper;
or with a dust of peculiar composition
which imparted the opaline iridescence
of peacock plumes; or with pulverized
diamonds and pearls winch dimmed its
tawniness under a silver film resem
bling glistening' snow. With Kgyptlan
red pale carmine, saffron and gold
Mary enhanced Uie aliuie of her
beauty.
Polished and Anointed.
"Even- as they were painted, Mary's
ears, lips iimi linger tips were sweet
ened with unguents. After her bath
Mary's body, smooth as polished ala
baster was softened by masseurs and
anointed with oils in which were mac
erated the petals of insidious flowers
and ointments more precious than sil
ver aloes f-om the east, cumin from
Greece spikenard from India and male
lncense irom Arabia. Under her arms
was rubbed Cleopatra's favorite ungu
ent, a rare balsam from 1'alestine
When she walk-d her body exhaled
soft odors as a garden of many f Wav
ers, in the blending of her perfumes,
so- 'twas said, were employed the dan
gerous arts of magic."
"Behold the "Woman" is being given
the advantage of an extensive advertis
ing campaign, and Is touted to take a
place in literature with "Quo Vadis,"
"Ben Hur," and other novels of sim
ilar cast.

which Is running serially in St- Nicho
las. Mark Twain was acting as a
newspaper correspondent in Washing
ton in the last sixties, and had called
on Grant by permission, elated at the
prospect of an fnterview. But when
he looked into : the square, smileless
face of the soldier, he found himself,
for the first time In his life, without
anything in particular to say. Grant
nodded slightly and Waited. His caller
wished something would happen. It
did. His inspiration returned. "Gen
eral." he said, "I seem to be slightly
embarrassed. Are you?" Grant's se
verity broke up in laughter. There
were no further difficulties.

The leading feature of the May
Century Is a story entitled "Enoch
Soames," by the famous English es

Creel, the well known publicist, who

A little boy is usually not much
more nor less than n human question
mark. Certainly Little Phil Is not,
but Miss Peacocke has dressed htm
up in somewhat unusual fashion, and
makes an unusually interesting little
character of him.
Phil, though a large part of the
story, is not all of it. He plays an
important part, however. In bringing to
a successful issue the affairs of the
two lovers, a series . of accidents be
falling him at such opportune times
that his misfortunes serve to bind the
man and the woman closer and closer.
"My Friend Phil" is a good little
friend for a dull hour.
Hamlin Garland's New Book.
"They of the High Trails." a new
book by Hamlin Garland, -ts published
this week by Harper' & Brothers. Mr.
Garland has portrayel once again the
life of the Rockies he knows so well.
"Though 'They of the High Trails' is
fiction, the romance presents truth
fully," says the writer, "the fearless,
humorous and often violent types
which made the region famous. There
are stories of the outlaw and the girl
for whom he risked all; the prospector
and the grub-staker. v
Man or Woman?
A number of reviewers of the new
war novel, "Where the Path Breaks,"
the author of which writes under the
pen-name of "Captain Charles de Cres
Pigny." argue from Internal evidence
that far from being a soldier the au
thor is not a man at all, but a woman,
and not just any woman but Florence
Barclay, who wrote "The Rosary."
The publishers have not yet announced
whether or not the author himself
(or herself) has been convinced by
these arguments.
The Harbor Goes Good.
The success of Ernest Poole's "The

University of Oregon, Eugene. April
29. "Shakespeare Is becoming truly A
classic something everybody - owns
and nobody reads." said H. C. Howe,
professor of modern English literature,
during an hoxir devoted to Shakespeare
at the university this week.
This Shakespearean decadence ap
pears comparatively recent: 60 years
ago Shakespearean plavs were , read
and produced much more than: now,
said Professor Howe.
"We regard George Bernard Shaw
and H. G. Wells In much the same
light as Shakespeare's contemporaries
regarded him," he said. "Shakespeare
was popular in his day, and was con
Kldered clever and amusing, but It was
not until the eighteenth century that
he was given his Just place. It'wai
on the wave of the Romanticist move,
ment In the eighteenth century that he
rose to his present reputation."
"The ratio of Shakespeare unread to
Shakespeare read is still Increasing. It
seems to me really worth our while
on the 300th anniversary pf his death
to do our best to revive Shakespearean
Interest." i

Improves your skin
while cleansing it
Almost any soap will titan the
skin and hair. Many toilet soaps
are pure enough to do so without'
injuring-these delicate textures. Uut
those who want a soap which not
only cleanses but actually ktlps the
complexion and hair are wise to
choose Resinol Soap.
The soothing, healing properties
of Resinol enable it to protect the
skin and scalp from annoying erup
tions, keep the complexion clear, -and
the hair rich and lustrous. This,
soaps which are merely pure and
cleansing cannot be expected to do.
