s.But Yet Woman," by Arthur Sherburne Hardy, is one ef the notable novels of the season It is novel of French life, with 8 visit to Spain included. Its leading charao- ters are two women and man. The man is Roger Lande, a lovsble young physician. The women are Mademoiselle Renee Michel and Madame Stephanie Milevski, the latter the French widow of Russian count, who had been involved in conspiraeies against the Czar, and who had died on his way to exile in Siberia It is darlly hinted that his pro- fessed friend, N de Marzac, who accompa- nied him, had something to do with hls death, and that M de Marzac's motive was his love for Stephanie; but Stephanie IS a pure and noble woman, whom the breath or such dire suspicion does not so much as touch. M. de Marzac is conspicuous among the secondary figures of the story. who in clude also M Michel, Renee's uncle; Father Le Blanc, the good guardian saint of this gentle domestic history; hizette, Madame Afilevskis waiting maid and Antonio, the courier, who attends Stephanie and Renee on their journey into Spain. Thetse eharao- ters are all well drawn and well handled
 Through interesting scenes the lowe story moves on, and the young girl comsa sweetly and without trouble into the happiness to which she hasa right, while the older and

READING ON SUNDAY

READING ON SUNDAY.
 The question whether public libraries shall be opened on Sunday is being discussed in some Of the large cities. If the opposition to opening them is entitled to be called discussion We cannot see how the opening of g library on Sunday can be considered Sabbath break. ing according to the view of Sunday taken by the great majority of modern Christians Most Christians, we suppose. read secular newspapers and books at home on Sunday. At least the enormops sale of the Sunday editions of the secular journals and the rush for books on Saturday nights at the public libraries would seem to indicate some thing of the sort. It is hard to see how the use of 8 public library on Sunday is any worse than the use of private one. or to see why it is any more sin to read wholesome secular book on Sunday than 1t is to take a walk or Q ride, or to stay at home and sleep.
 It is said that to open the public libraries will keep people from attending church. We do not see why reading books and newspa- pers in public library will be any more like ly to have that effect than reading them at home. It is not probable that anyone who Is in the habit of going to church will be kept away by either. There is 8 very large class of people who do not and will not go to church Indeed, statistics show that this class forms 8 majority of the popu lation of every city. There are some people who seem to think 1t wise to force this class to choose between going to church and the most vicious amusements. Why is it not better to give those who cannot be in- duced to go to church a chance to employ their time in 8 wholesome and harmless way? We suppose we shall at least be permitted to call the mental improvement gained by read ing secular books on Sunday, harmless?
 Furthermore, there is question of right and fairness involved in the discussion. The great majority believe that 1t is not sinful to read secular books and newspapers on Sun day Ought the public libraries to be closed because the minority believe that secular reading on Sunday is sinful? Are the preju- dices of the few to control the many? The number of those is not small who do not have libraries of their own and who have no other day that they can devote to reading except Sunday. Is it the duty of these people to re- main in ignorance, or is the sin of reading secular book so much worse than the sin of ignorance?
 The opposition to opening public libraries on Sunday is in no true sense a religious one. It is a relic of that utter misconception of the true spirit and purpose of the institution of the Sabbath which prevailed in New England fifty years ago.
