THE BARBAROUS BRITISHERS-By a. D.
TralL John Lane. Bodley Head: London an
New York. For sale by William Doxey, Palace
Hotel City. Prize so cents
The author of this tale asserts at the very
start that it is tiptop novel, and this is the
truth. If strictly speaking it is not novel ii
is certainly novel skit. 1t is a satire on
the style of some modern novels, and seems to
be aimed particularly at Grant Aliens. 1t
treats chiefly of the topic of ia boos, aud mas
much as marriage is the king of taboos in the
estimation of certain rebels, who consider life
as miserably weighed down upon by the tyr
amy of the taboo reign, the subject Of free
love must be mainly dealt with; and it IS done
with a delicacy of refined but scath ing sar-
casm which will compel both the devout and
the wicked to laugh. The style of the story is
perhaps the spieiest purity it is possible TO
write.
There are many modern stories written as it
were holly, but the whole effect of them is
debauching. whereas this tiptop novel is
written with debonair deviItry that is posi-
lively scintillating, and yet the whole effect is
morally elevating, because it tears the domino
from the master-sin, playing the role of su-
perior intellect.
When wit is used in so good cause 1t is
doubiy enjoyable and commendable Perhaps
many q weak woman VINO has been argued
into departure from high ideals by the clever
and plausible talk OF some apostle of liberty,
OF enlightened and advanced thought, might
have saved herself for h1ghe things if she had
ever had tae rich absurdty of this apparently
pious persuasion x-rayed TO her vision in
Trails witty way. There is somewhere a
golden mean between prrdery and indeLcacy,
and perhaps this amusing novel goes as fur
toward being risque without being corrupt
ing as is ever safe.

SHORT STORIES.

MISS ARMsTRoNG,s AND OTHER cIRcUM-
STANCES. By John Davidson New York !:
Stone q X m ball. For sale by William Doxey
Palace Hotel. City. Price 81 rs.
Miss Armstrong. who is an enthusiastic
young girl, makes up her mind that she will
make circumstance rather than be controlled
by it. She divides people into two great
classes-those who are circumstances" with
out knowing it and those who are conscious of
the fact. When she first starts out to cause
things to happen she meets with ignominious
defeat, but in the end she did become the
cause OF a very live circumstance, though the
performance was of a character altogether diff
ferent to what she had planned The expla-
nation OF how it all happened can only be en-
joyed by reading the authors skilled nara
ton. Among other good things in the book
Is an account OF visit to an anarchists meet
ing and conversation with some of their
leaders. Their talk is full OF destructive
threats, but the conclusion of the writer is
that such meetings are as harmless as church
soirees. Anarchy. he says, is the exaggeration
of the idea of liberty, just as socialism is an
exaggeration of the idea of equality.

Perhaps the world will never tire of hearing
tales of the bold Norsemen. Every once in
while we like to recur to those poetic ac-
counts of lives full of daring courage and
wild revelry. Again and again we like to
have renewed and made more vivid our mind
picture of those great ferce-bearded men
fond of perilous rowing and who felt the
same strong joy in battle as in love ana
feasting and martial minstrelsy in their great
halls. To merely mention the name of Viking
is to summon up visions of cleaning battle
axes of deep draughts drunk with deep de-
light, of courage that would dare to the utter
most for vengeance or for woman's love- This
collection of Morse tales by Risley has the
same wild music and martial ring to it that
always accompanies Viking stories when they
are well told

called Patience Sparhawk and Her Times"
and it more than makes up for her long
silence. 1t is said to be far and away the
most remarkable piece of work Mrs Atherton
has done.
Patience sparhawk is a California girl,
who marries and comes to New York.
where she lives life of reckless gayeiy
in the narrative OF which various aspects
OF New York society are depicted with
graphic realism and unquestonable clever
ness. The heroine experiments a bit in
husbands and passes through the most
varied and startling experiences, including a
trial for murder of her first husband and
q narrow escape from the electrocuting
chair. Husband number two arrives
just in time to save her, which, OF
course, relieves the reader, though If
good judge of character, he may conclude
that Patience might better have remained in
the chair and taken her fate ct once.
Mrs. Atherton knows how to tell story and
she has got into this new novel great deal of
story very effectively told. twill find plenty
of readers Mrs. Atherton is living now in
England and declares it to be her intention
not to return to America But Patience
Sparhawk" will soon be here and 1t will fill

Mighty hopes are blowing wide;

Dawning thoughts, that ere they set

Oh, that she were with thee ranged,
Who for all her faults can still
In her heart of hearts unchanged,
Feel the old heroic thrill;

Yet thou art not left alone.

Gain for man some sacred goal,
