Rachel, a novel by Jane H. Findlater,
attracts andlholds ones attention. from
beginning to end. The key to 1t all is
the quotation from Novalis. which is to
be found npon the title page: Character
is fate. - The chief per sonage OF the story
is Michael Fletcher, dreamer OF dreams,
a seer and prophet-with great gift of
eloquent speech, and an immense power
over the sect OF ''F'oreseers with whom
he associates himself at first from the
immediate need of money, and afterward
for the fame which 1t brings him.
Michael marries Ellen Morrison, a
plain. ignorant girl, whom he does not
love, but whom he had promised to pro-
tsot aud cherish when she was in dire
straits and before he had seen Rachel,
whom he came to adore, and who learns
to love him. Ellen is good woman and
does her best for her husband, but Rachel
is the one whom he needed, and who
could have saved him from his own weak
ness, hich:fnally proves his ruin.
Rachel is a true woman, full of life
and impatient of bisotry. AS Sam Small
says of himself, she "hated creeds and

CONCERNING BOOKS.

The Open Question Is Tale Of Tw
Temperaments by q. H. Hammond. that
being the pen-name of Miss Elizabeth
Robins, the clever actress who has so sue
cessfully interpreted Ibsen's characters
For long time it was literary secret
as to the identity of this author whose
aerlier works. George Msndeville's
Husband, and others, attracted much
attention. The Open Question is work
Of power, passion and dramatic inten-
sity, but at the same time 1t has taken all
the talent Of an exceptionally gifted
writer to prevent the story from being
wholly revolving. and it is at best a
morbid, painful and dismal summary Of
disease, degeneracy and death.
The work Is purely suggestive, the
author solving none OF the problems
which are involved In her work, and her
great achievement Is the character Of Mrs.
Grano, who conquers disease and even
death in their advance upon herself,
crushing or ignoring all weaknesses,
physical and mental, as they appear In
her children and grandchildren; so mas
terfuI that life itself is of no account
when her views and principles are In he
balance. The London Outlook pronounc-
es her "An old woman worthy to stand
beside Thackeray's Lady Kew"
The scene of Miss Robins's story is In
the United States, and it Is q study of
an American family which has become
degenerated through frequent intermar-
rage and inherited disease. At last
Ethan and Val Garno. first cousins, fall
desperately in love with one another and
marry, having made compact that IL

Value of Advertisiup,

proves the value of judicious advertis.
Ing. About two years ago woman
discovered the formula for new cos.
metic which was better than any other
In use. and made of ingredients which
are entirely harmless. After satisfy
Ing herself that 1t was an article which
women generally would be glad to
use, she set about some means to man
ufacture the cosmetic and place it up
on the market.
The inventor was poor woman, and
she went to rich friend and sought
to interest her in the project. As
usual in such cases, the rich friend was
not disposed to lend $1,000 without Sc
curity, even to friend. She did, how.
ever, lend $500, and with this sum the
discoverer Of the complexion COM
pound began operations. She adver-
tised little at time. paying In ad.
vance. The business grew rapidly, be-
gan to crowd out other cosmetics, and
enabled the woman, who really DOS
sessed a valuable secret, to advertise
upon a larger scale. Now, after two
years, the business Is carried on In an
expensive suite of rooms, and profits
are said to be $500 week.

Word Advertising Well,

vertising; to use old phrases and to
follow in the well-worn ruts of Gus.
tom. The wording is all-important,
for a fortunately chosen phrase may
be the nail that shall fix the matter
securely in the public mind. To
change the figure, your public in these
days of much advertising, Is a shy
bird and the salt must be dextrously
thrown. The effective advertisement
must be picturesque and sprightly,
without being coarse or slangy, and
must put the public in good humor,
even when imparting the most prosaic
