In this, manner Mr. Macftonagh has gotten down to the bare facts, stripped tof glamor and romance so often fur nished by persons of the third part, and the facts speak for themselves. They stand as a record of heroism and self-sacrifice for the cause of England. Redmond's introduction, written for publication tn February of tills year. He says in part: " For Ireland to have chosen the opposite alternative, or to be flung Into It by the fortune of war, would in my opinion be for her an unmixed ca lamity, the worst in her history. .

' "The Irish people, with a few In Slgrilficant exceptions, have no such illusions. They have, ior the first , time In their history a memorable fact put a national army in the field, a glorious army!

The Century couipauy, New 1'ork. fl.W) net. The Century Company has ths fso ulty of turning out popular .stuff In style. , Its contributions to the; war of the world have been no exception. This new volume by Mr. Hale, an artist of note, Is a substantial work of art as well as an exceptionally vlvldi tale of action. Mr. Hale was commissioned by "The Century Magssine" to go to the front last summer and. make a record of the detestation of historic monuments, cathedrals and churches in the sons Of war, especially in the Alsne vallev and theVegion of Complcgne. Mr. Hale and his companions. Owen Johnson and Arnold Bennett, the novelists. were given unusual opportunities, by the French war office and the minister rf foreign affairs. They were at Rhelms during the shelling of the town in the early morning of June 37, and in ths trenches and various im portant battery positions throughout the valley of the Alsne.' They were present at Arras during the bombard ment of July 8th, when the Hotel de Vllle was being shelled and the Ca thedral was on firs In three places. They also visited the trenches at Blagny, with the French and German lines only 20 yards apart. : ' During all this time Mr. Hale, whose reputation is perhaps greatest as an etcher, but who Is also known for his sketches of out-of-the way places In Various parts of the world, kept his pen and pencil busy. His writing haii a certain unique claim among the war books as conveying the impressions and observations not of a Journalist but of an artist, with an artist's spe cial point of view. His drawings are a memorable record of the ruined splendors of war-swept Northern France and especially of ! Rhelms, Soissons and Arras during and after their bombardment. He made his in terior sketches of Rhelms cathedral while the building was actually under fire. " Mr. Hale Is the Illustrator of Owen Johnson's new war book, "The Spirit of France," Arnold Bennett's "Over There" and Clayton Hamilton's' "On the Trail of Stevenson," alt publica tions of this season, and is himself the author of "The Ideal Motor Tour 'in France" and of many motoring ar ticles. , This Happened in Ye Olden Days WMIllam C. Prime, whose book Of travel. "Along New England Roads,", has Just been reprinted, told of a curi ous incident which took plaoe In Ver mont during the latter part of the eighteenth century. Majpr Moses Joy was married - to Mrs. Hannah Ward, widow of William Ward. This William WardJ had died insolvent, leaving debts of consider-; able amount. At the second marriage Mrs. Ward stood In a closet with no clothing on, and held out her hand to Major Joy through a hole, and the ceremony was thus performed. This ; 4s the only Instance I have ever met ' with In American history of what In England has been variously called h smock marriage, or a "marriage en chemise." t The idea was. and In parts of Eng land still is prevalent, that if a husband-takes a wife with nothing on her' he avoids a legal liability to pay her debts, or the debts of a former bus band, some of whose property she " might possibly bring with her to her new alliance." 4 : Via CaL Direct St. Louis $ 71.20 $88.10 Memphis 80.00 ; 02.50 .26.00 (85.75 100.30 90.00 Washington ..
