THE MAN WHO SENT UP COST OF FEATHms FOR HATS "Tho Woman Movement" by Ellen Key. Pub. by Putnam. Bllea Key takes Her courage as well as her pen In hand when she writes a book, but her very evident sincerity embarrasses the criticism of the con ventional person who finds his pet ideas relegated to the rubbish heap by thes Swedish writer. Ellen iTey Is a tireless student, a fearless thinker and a courageous writer. Her books hare been translated into many lan guages and bare been the means )t stimulating' a Mlde of new Ideas throughout the reading world. In all Wor books, "Lovo and Marrlago," "Tho Century ot the Child" and "Tho Wom an Movement," bor plea1 Is for tho dovelopomcnt of tho individual. Sho feols that many castoms and conven tions at tbe present tlrao are hinder ing tho growth of the race and es pecially tho growth of women. "Tho Woman Movement" Is an In tensely Interesting study ot tho In fluenco of Woman's emancipation on the world. 'Sho says that the first woman movement was Kto'h gesturo whon sho reached for tho fruit if-tho Tree of Knowledge a movement symbolic of tho subsequent woman's movement of tho world. Women, blacft time bi'iriin. have been sunnrnaa. eil and unaplo to grow spiritually, mentally or oven physically; ono by oho they haro had to 'fight for tho things that wero considered ns not i uaupicu 10 "woman 8 nature" educa tion, business vocation, suffrage, etc, but that after they hod gained these things thoy. prqvod that warn-ndowu-o lulatatMllctn.cn-amreto aW nature was not only adapted to ttcso things but required them. El len Key does not ask all tho things for women that men already have; site abhors tho mascullno woman; sho la not a nillltact suffragette; eho grants thatwomen were Intended by nature to be different from mon but site asks that womeu be given free dom to grow and develop tholr Talent possibilities. Sho tolls In this book ei the Influence of tho rapidly In cfeW woman movemont upon wimln, both single and married, uou men, marrlago and motherhood. i Somo of tho results are not good, sho ndmll. but the majority of them are and tho final result Is bound to bo. Tno emancipation ot woman Is necessary, she holds thst woman mav becomo n tit mother. For high above all things else, tho privilege of bolus a mother Is to bo reckoned; and that tho animal Instinct of maternal love, which was considered once to bo tho one puns womanly trait, must lvavej added to It n mentality as clear as n I man's and n phyalquo aa perfect .' physical cuituro and outdoor llfo can mako It.

"The Financier" by Theodore Dreis er. Pub. by Harpers. Dreiser has already given to the world two unusual books "Jennie Oerhart"' and Sister Carrlo" and whllo theso books were not told in h very fascinating manner, yet tho Ideas set forth In each excited much comment and Interest. This new book, "The Financier," deals almost entirely with the life history of a man and It Is so Intensely Interesting, complete and satisfactory, that In comparing It with tho other books by Dreiser one feels that the author has a much bettor understanding of men than of women and that slnco hi last two books ho has greatly Im proved his stylo ot presenting a storyi Frank Cowperwood was a natural born financier. His success in the moncy-mnklng wrld began at an early ago and beforo ho was 35 ho had amassed a fortune; but an un lucky venture, both in politics and In lovo was tho causo of his downfall. Frank became an agent for a politic al gang who manipulated the city funds for private speculations. Tho famous Chicago flro brought about an unexpected financial depression and an Investigation followed. One man, Malla Duller, could have saved Frank from dlsbraco and falluro at this- time, but Frank who had mar ried at 21, a woman older than him self, had tired of his wlfo and turned to an Illicit lovo'affalr with Dutlor'J daughter, Alteon. When the old Irishman discovered Frank's atten tions to his beloved daughter, he went deliberately to work and hast ened tho dlrgraco of tho finnncler. Frank was sent to prison, was par doned within a year and with his old Skill soon reconstructed his fortune. His wife divorced him and turning his face from the temptation ot the stock exchango ho went west taking Ailecn with him. The romanco of finance Is strongor and more interesting In this book than tho love episodes. Frank Cow perwood, the man with tho charming personality, tho tireless energy, the quick mind, had as a chief character istic an absorbing passion for mak ing money; his love ot home, his lore for his wife and children, his affection for his fathor and evon Ills passion for the captivating mistress wero all shadowed by this supremo desiro. Feminine readers of this book will especially be grateful to the author for making so clear and Interesting tho inside workings and systom of the stock exchange. Mobt novelist will toll haw their hero makes a miraculous fortune in Wall Streot, employing the terms that only an hablt'uo of tho place could compre hend, but In "Tbo Financier" tho story of city graft and of how a for tuno Is made and lost by speculation Is told with every detail In a most Interesting and Instructive way. mmmrfr ''H Ana?-, y A Sc-JB wkyigp "v ft MMMMMMaWSBWMNMiMSBWSMW LEASING CLAUSE PROVES JOKER IN Tho Wireless Operators' union of San Francisco, Cal., was recently organized.
