A READABLE LITTLE BOOK.

FROM A GIRLS POINT OF VIEw-By Lillian
Fell New York: Harper Il Bros. Price 81 25.
For sale In this city by A. Nj. robertson
Anything coming from this authors pen is
more likely to deserve praise than censure.
The Love Affairs of an Old Maid" THE Un-
der Side of Things" and "a Little Sister to the
Wilderness were all so meritorious, both tor
their healthiness of tone and their originality
of style, tLat the reader can safely plunge into
the new book and emerge tnerefrom feeling
healthier in mind. ''From a Girls Point of
View" consists OF fourteen little essays dealing
chiefly with men in their relations to women
After careful perus al OF them we have come
TO the conclusion that were ell girls as sane as
the one expressing her views, d marked differ
ence would soon be noticeable in the average
man. The writer's opinion that women are
what men want them to be is open to discus
sion, Tor there are many of US who
believe that wise woman can DO
with a man just what she pleases. The
chapter on "Men as Lovers" is written with
purpose. Ii teaches that a woman wants
mora than mere theater- tickets or valuable
diamond rings, and that as a romantic streak
runs through every one of them, they expect
more than indifferent wooing. The chapter
on ''The New Woman" is, perhaps, the finest
of the collection, and it is to be regretted that
there are not more writer's capable and willing
TO do the subject such justice. The. little
quotation with which our author starts this
chapter, and which reads You have taught
me TO be in love with noble thoughts" gives
her estimate OF the truly new woman These
essays can be recommended to old and young
alike, more particularly to "The Unframed
Man Under Thirty-five," who is honored with
a chapter all to himself, and for whom, if we
err not, the book was most CONSIDERABLY
written.

w scarcely one that will challenge

FOR LOVERS OF ROMANCE.

THE ROMANCE OF DISCOvERY-By William

Price 81 so
This volume should become popular contri-
button to American history. 1t will be ap-
preciated not only by the boys and girls to
whom it is dedicated, but by older readers the
country over. There is an element of ro-
nance in the driest of historical facts, and TO
tell history properly the romsntic element
must be recognized and due weight given to

son his work gains in charm while still re-
naming reliable. In "The Romance of Dis
covely" there appears just estimate of ex-
actly the amount each European nation con-
tributed TO the work of discovering the New
World. Mr.. Gritfis is forceful writer, and has

THE DEDICATION OF BOOKS.

Antoine Furetere, who wrote French die
tionary early in the eighteenth century. de-
clared that the first inventor of dedcations 10
books must have been a beggar. This WINS
hardly true; for the author had as a rule
something to offer for the patronage OF the
man of wealth, whose name appeared en-
wreathed with garlands of rhetoric The
Taller defines the practice more justly in the
following words: "In ancient times il was the
custom [for authorsl to address their works to
some eminent for their merit to mankind. or
particular patronage of the writer's themselves,
or knowledge in the matter of which they
treated. Under these regards it was a memo
rable honor TO both parties, and very agree
able record of their commerce with each
other"

very ancient practice. Horace, Virgil. Cicero

Since the publication of The Orcutt Girls"
q large number of young readers have taken
an interest in the doings of the two sisters,
Bertha and Sue. In the volume before us the
former story is continued in a way that cannot
fail to win for the author many new friends.
Sue, who is the central figure in the present
romance, is a dreamy, studlous and imagine
tive New England girl, with an appetite for
knowledge. She finally marries man she
loves aud decides that the duties of wife are
preferable TO devoting herself to a literary
career. The story is healthy in tone and is
well told throughout.
