When The Green Carnation" appeared,
shrewd people prophesied that the author.
Mr. Robert Hichens, would some day write
a remarkable book The Londoners," his
next work, fulfilled the prophecy in that
II was remarkably odd, but there was
nothing great about it. 1t was simply a
sort of Alice in Wonderland for adults,
full OF incongruities and surprises. Now
comes a new book, THE Slave" which
may without the slightest exaggeration be
called one Of the best novels of the year
1t is unquestionably the finest thing that
Mr. Hichens has done, and one may doubt
II he will do anything as good in the flu
ture. He may well be satisfied with this
one book and he seems TO have put the
best Of his energy, experience, Observa-
ton, and brilliant talent into it.
The central figure is a woman who has
an overmasterlng passion for jewels, and
every character and incident in the story
and all the salient events and actions of
her life, bring out this one trait. The
portrait is absolutely perfect and the
type, while rare, is not incomprehensible
or impossible. The consummate art Of the
whole thing compels ones admiration at
every step. There is not slip or jar
ring note anywhere. not a hurried SEN
tence, nor false inference. The author
has created his type with entire fidelity TO
nature, and has combined realism in de-
tails with an almost exaggerated ideality
in conception. There are literally thou-
sands of fine touches, every one of which
serves to bring cut some point that would
otherwise be lost, and not line could
easily be changed. In fact. the novel re-
minds one of a gem. rejecting the light
from innGmerable facets. each cut and pol
ished with infinite care and patience.

But stand together as close friends
They send their beauty on all things,
An equal gilt to clowns and kings

Enough for all, and fear
Sends boding on their blameless cheer.

What is the origin of the Easter rabbit9

C. W. W
II is not known precisely when the as
sociation of the rabbit with spring festi-
walls began but it certainly antedates the
celebration of Easter as a feast of the
church. II has been said that the ancient
Egyptians and also the Chinese, discover
ed a resemblance to rabbit in the spots
on the moon, and thus associated the ami
NAL with feasts depending upon the
changes of the moon. The rabbit figures
in the folklore of almost all primitive
people, and it is Il curious fact that in
Japanese and African folk-legends stories
of this animals adventures may be found
which are almost the same in both coun-
tries. 1t seems probable that in some
prehistoric time the rabbit became ijenti-
fed with the religious ceremonies cele-
brating the advent of spring, and was thus
connected with our festival of Easter.
