There is no contradcting the assertion that
these close clinging garments are both cooler
and more comfortable in summer, when their
wearers exercise, than the combination OF
knickerbocker and long hose. A final areu-
ment is that the knitted garments are bet

She Is Improving.

Although there is ample room for further
Improvement, it is still evident in many ways
that women a class are beginning to find
it possible to assume an impersonal attitude
toward any subject under discussion. In the
matter OF blackball at woman's club, for
example there are no longer the same hor-
ror and constituencies of 1t. 1t is interesting
to note in this connection the different point
OF view from which blackball in a woman s

taken by mans club. In a mans club the
casting OF the backball is far more sig
nincant action. In a wcnan's club it often

"Cuba at a Glance"

Cuba at a Glance is an unassum-
ing book despite the comprehensive
ness of it's title. It gives, what every
one wants at the present time, a his
tory Of the Cuban war, not alone of
the present rebellion, but of the Ten
Years war as well. What we are real
ly more in need of than a general
knowledge of the late Cuban wars,
for these, in detail. the newspapers
have furnished, is comprehensive
history Of the relations between Spain.
and Cuba from the earliest times
down, and this this small volume fur
nishes in compact form.
A chapter is devoted to Cuba from
1892 to 1852, and one entitled THE
Ever Faithful Isle" continues the
story, taking up that unselfish devo-
ton to the mother country that gain
ed for Cuba during the Seven Years
war the name Of THE Ever Faithful
Isle" The history of Spanish rule in
Cuba is the history Of instructions
without number, and one and all Of
them repeat the stories of hopeless
struggle against cruelty and oppres-
sion.
A chapter is devoted to Spanish and
Cuban Leaders," and another to Gu
ban Government" The Geography
of Cuba" is an interesting chapter
supplemented by colored map. The
first four chapters of the book are
devoted to defining the position of the
United States in the struggle. The
authors of Cuba at a Glance" are
Emma Kaufman and Anne O'Hagan,
and they have been assisted in their
work by Estrada Palma, president Of
the Cuban junta, who also writes the
preface. In compiling the work the
authors have had access to the New

ments in possession of the Cuban

Notes.

1t was while Thackeray at school at
Chiswck that his mother and her husband
came home from India. In letter written
to India she tells of her meeting with her
son:
'He had a perfect recollection of me; he
could not speak. but kissed me. and looked
at me again and again. and 1 could almost
have said, Lord. now lettest thou thy ser
want depart in peace He is the living image
of his father, and God In heaven send
that he may resemble him in ali but his too
short life. He is tall. stout and sturdy His
eyes have become darker. but there is still the
same dear expression. His drawing Is won-
derful."

short extract. and the reference to Thackeray' 8
father constitutes the only al.usion to him
