GOSSIP FROM BOOKLAND.

John Strange Winter, the nom de guerrs of Mrs. Arthur Stannard, was adopted by the advice of the publishers of her first books, and it was only when "Bootle's Baby'' appeared that it became known who the author really was.
 She has written some excellent novels since that time, dealing with garrison life aud showing good understanding of the surroundings of the British officer and so- cial conditions of the army as we'll. In her new story, "The Soul of the Bishop,' published by J. Selwin Tait & Sons, she has undertaken a religious novel. In the preface we are told it has been her aim to present with unmistakable force the atti- tude of mind she deems very prevalent to- day.
 This story up to the middle of the book is delightful; the purest and best reading, very little in the way of plot, but the con struction is even and firm and skillfully drawn. The portrayal of the bishop is especially good, but, like some other wo- men writers, she has spoiled good story with the Introduction of religion into her pages. Cecil had become very charming, not only to the bishop, but to the readers as we'll; but sitting one day in the presence of her beloved in pensive quiet he asked her of what she was thinking. 'sThinking? Oh. was thinking about the thirty nine articles, she answered,
  articles?'' he repeated incredulously, UWhy are you thinking about themG'
 "Well, read them over last night, she said. T never read them before. Tell me, Archie, and tell me truly-I mean, don't explanify matters until I can't understand what you mean-but tell me yes or no, whether you actually believe in the thirty nine articles or not!'' '' This is the first in- timation that we have of what is to follow. It is well to know that the bishop asserted positively and without equivocation that he did believe them, for iu the pages that follow he says some very queer things for a bishop.
 Cecil now begins to trouble and harrass herself to an enormous extent over the thirty nine articles.
 We may admit that, young lady as she was, she may not have been able to com prehend them, and on this point the bishop offers some wholesome advice. The point that is weak and suggests the author's formulated plan apart from the natural workings and consequences of the girl mind is her final announcement that she has no religious belief whatever. It is strange and not at all logical that, because she should find fault and fail to under stand the thirty nine articles, she should become-well, If no definite name was at tached to her position she affirms, she has no hope in this life or the next:
 The author brides herself in the preface that she has not brought her story to the conventional ending, but, to my mind, more unfortunately has given 1t the bleak est and most terrible ending. If the author is religious woman, she has failed to put the inspiring touches of beautiful religious aspirations among her pages. If no relig- ious impulses stir and enthuse her womanly soul, why the book7 It is 80 barren and

He looked 90 the payment following

that the payInaster might make the

Not that the soldiers could help it at
