SenGrita MonteEa~.

A tale Ringing on any kind of war
of independence is sure to be popular
just at present, but to be superlatively
successful. of course, it should be a
rebellion against Spanish sovereignty.
Such is "Senorita Montenar," an inter-
esting romance Of the war of Gillian
independence. by Archer P. Crouch.
The hero is Capt. Wildash, an Eng
lish officer that volunteers to fight UNI
der Lord Cochrane, the British admiral
who makes war in the interests of the
patriots. The heroine is Senorita Mon
tenar, maiden secretly serving the
interests of Spain.
Capt. Wiidash in a duel wounds the
fair senorita's cousin, and the romance
begins.
Later the heroine falls into the I'M
scrupulous hands of a Spanish COM
mander, and, as the result of clever
manipulation on the authors part. hero
and heroine succeed in rescuing each
other and reach the patriot army. The
senorita's Spanish sympathies have
suffered material changes in the course
Of her adventures and she is finally
persuaded to accept the captains mat
rimonial proposal and patriotic princi-
pies at the same time

'In press ons res. CHI the memory m in
ly," writes Mr. Fuller, 'throus h threa
channels, which may be termed, respec-
lively. the senses of sight and sound
Chearing), and the faculty of thought
or reason" The other three senses he
lays aside as of little imp ortance in con-
he elton with memory culture.
Impressions Of sight will be moss
vivid and permanent, and the thought
impressions the least so. So these be-
iEg more evanescent in their nature,
he makes the main consideration in
memory culture.
In order to determine specifically
memory development, Mr.. Fuller di-
vides memory into the following gen
eral divisions: Locality, form, color,
figures, facts, events, discourse, liter
ature, diction, proper names and music
Locality memory which seems so
nearly instructive, being possessed in
10 small degree by the lower animals,
yet is dependent in a large measure on
accuracy of observation, and conse-
quently, as Mr.. Fuller points out In a
number of really practical ways, capa-
bic of higher development in the human
mind than is its usually manifested.
Memory of form, which in it's appli-
cation to memory of faces, is one Of
the most important essentials 20 the
enjoyment of practical everyday life is
largely matter of practice, in Mr.. Full
ler's Judgment. Sculpters, artists ard
architects have but developed this fac
ulty, sometimes perhaps, to the sacri-
flee of other branches of memory in
which they were less Interested Mem
DRY of color, too, is valuable adjunct
in this branch of memory culture.
Not the least interesting chapter of
Mr.. Fullers volume is that which re-
carrying in the memory of unfamiliar
numbers by line of direct association

the author to system of memory pegs

number from one to and including six

ga Voyage of Consolation"

Sara Jeanette Duncan's "a Voyage
of Consolation" is bright enough to be-
much brighter. It's cleVerness is dash
ed by occasional vulgarity and the
humor is very frequently strained to
the breaking point Without question,
however, there are intervals of very
entertaining fun and they are frequent
enough to make the story worth sum-
mer days reading. The readers that
remember "An American. Girl in Lon
don" will recall that in her last chapter
Miss Mamie Wick announced her en-
gagement to Mr.. Arthur Page, of Yale.
This public admission Miss Wick re-
CARDS as a challenge to Fate, and the
logical consequence is the breaking of
the engagement. ga Voyage of Con-
ISOLATION" is the next logical effect, and
1t is this journey, taken in the company
of ''MOmma" Wick and the senator.
'Poppa" Wick, that furnishes the ma
terial for Miss Mamie Wicks second
autobiography.
The insecurity of engagements is so
deeply impressed on Miss Wick that in
the last chapter OF her second literary
venture she substitutes for so fragile
thing an elopement with none other
than Mr.. Arthur Page himself, and
this. within all probability, assures the
happy ending.

Tales by Joel Chandler Harris

Tales of,the Home Folk in Peace and
War" is a collection of charming
sketches by Joel Chandler Harris.
These tales ceal mainly with the times
following close on the, Civil war, and
the romsnces~ developed by the hot
house atmosphere of battle are full in
teresting. The stories are simple
enough and many of them have very
humble heroes and heroines, and while
some have the noise and smoke Of
battle for livid background, most deal
with the quieter incidents of peace and
the joys and sorrows that are personal
rather than national. The tales are of
the South, of course; but, as we should
expect from their author, the partisan
spirit is entirely lacking, and humor-
Gus appreciation of human nature is
the spirit of the entire volume. While
Mr.. Harris is himself in these sketches
and his admirers understand all that
this means--it is not his most personal,
peculiar self, and the ''Tales Of the
Home Folk in Peace and War" have
not the same fascination that makes
the Uncle Remus stories irresistible
When MIR. Harris writes for children,
he aims at a higher mark and hits it
with greater ease than when he works
for an older public.

"SociaI Pictorial Satire"

To no other task could George du
more judicial appreciation and grace Of
manner than to the Sketching of the
two men who for so long have stood
for social pictorial satire, John Leech
and Charles Keene; and, though he
counts the task of speaking of himself
difficult and not very grateful one,
it is nevertheless seemly that he should
fulfill that part of his contract as well,
for what account of English social pic
torial satire would be complete with
du Maurier's drawings and du Mauri-
er's personality omitted? "It is my pur-
pose,' he begins, ito speak of the craft
to which l have devoted the best years
of my life, the craft Of portraying, by
means of little pen and ink strokes
lines and scratches, a small portion of
the world in which we live; such social
and domestic incidents as lend them
selves to humorous or satirical treat
ment; the Illustrated criticism Of life
Of the life of our time and country in
its lighter aspects
Extracts from his estimates of Keene
and Leech would fail so utterly to con-
svey the breadth and understanding of
his criticism, the depth of his sympa-
thy, that an injustice would be done
the writer and his subjects by even the
most judicious quotations. It is a series
OF essays, that all who care for art in
its most rapidly produced and most
easily spread form should own And
even those who did not find in 'The
Martians" all that they demanded in
the name of literature will find in so
cial Pictorial Satire" all that they can
expect in sympathetic criticism and
grace of expression.
The volume has many illustrations Of
the drawings Of Leech, Keene and du
Maurier himself, and three very salts
flying portraits of the artists them
selves.
