NEW BOOKS.

There are very few subjects these
days that have not their own especial
organ to blaZen them abroad to a wait
ing public. Art, science and religion
have especial departments, if not entire
periodicals, in every state or town; but
under what heading one could place
such book as this one with the long
title, How Men Make Love and Get
Married, "by d. e. McAnally Jr.,i hard
to say. Perhaps it could live under the
domain of science, for the fir st chapter
diagnoses love case" and gives this
as an infallible symptom: IF he be not
i'll love with some woman, there's no
believing old signs; A brushes his hat
o'mornings, what should that bode?'
Wherever you place the book, one thing
is clear: 1t is an exhaustive treatise on
that most interesting, most subtle, most
discussed and least understood subject
love.
Dora Darling" by Jane G. Austin,
is very pretty, but not very probable,
story of young girl left motherlesS by
death and fatherless by the Confeder-
acy in the care Of a cruel aunt who alb
serbs the little all that the family pos
sessed. Dora, high-strung, sensitive
girl, who had never wavered in her
love for the Union and the North, as
represented by her mother, leaves the
uncongenial home at her aunt's. and,
with her faithful body guard, black
Dix, went for refuge to Union camp,
where she found friends and most I'M
usual privileges being created vivau
diere of the regiment and assistant
nurse and other little things like that.
She is adored by the troops, of course,
and does some wonderful things. The
story is clean and bright, and is finished
artistically by the little hint of posi-
bic love story to follow.
Gratitude is one of the noblest at

"Berris," by Katherine Macquoid, is
another of those books that are useful
to fill up space. The story is an old one
and not particularly we'll told. There
are two sisters. one plain, and
good and pattern of all the
virtues, who ends, as all good
girls should. by marrying an eXtraordi-
nary man and becoming the mother of
sons. The other sister, the lovely en-
chantingly beautiful one, who is
wrapped up i'll self and eaten up by
vanity, marries the rich old lord, and
finds that instead of being an old mans
darling, she is an old brute's slave. The
lesson, If lesson the story contains. is
that if YOU try you can be mistress of
yourself, and that is wonderful vic
tory.
''The Rector's Secret" is doubtless j.
R. Abarbanell's first novel. Ii has Il
great deal OF merit, more, however, in
plot than literary style. The English
is stilted. ana at times ineXcuSably bad.
American mothers are not at all likely to
address their infants in the solemn form
of the archaic (second) person singular.
Nor do we'll educated young men COM
n only speak Of children as ''offsprings."
One takes the liberty Of doubling that
the story is a story from life, as the
author claims, for, of surety, it is not
the life we have known or will know.
The book is. however, readable and
fairly interesting.
