life. 1t is true, as well, that not few Of
the unhappy divisions and schisms in

There was a perceptible falling off in
tie City sales OF Du Maurier's best book
month ago, and careful canvass of the
leading bookstores yesterday showed
more marked decrease in the demand.
The wholesalers, however, are compen-
sated by their steadily increasing orders
from the small towns. Hence "Trilby" is
ruralizing. But it is no discredit to the
country that its literary demands are six
months behind the City, for the whole

The best~selling book of the week in San
Francisco is "The Bonnie Briar Bush" by
Ian McLaren, of whom it was said by
the critics several months ago that he
would rival Barrie in his own field. That
critical vaticination has more than been
fulfilled. The Scotch divine has caused
Barrie's star to grow dim.
The next book in the sales of the week is
by the same author, 1.-The Days of Aud
Lang Syne." In looking for an explana-
ton of the success of this authors works
