A Portrait in Fiction.

When The Green CarEation" 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
it was remarkably odd but there was
nothing great about 1t. 1t was simply a
sort Of Alice in Wonderland for adults
full OF incongruitics 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
II is unquestionably the finest thing that
Mr.. Hichens has done, and one may doubt
Il he will do anything as good in the fu-
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 IL.
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
OF impossible. The consummate art Of the
whole thing compels ones admiration at
every step. There is not a slip or a jar
ring note anywhere. not a hurried SEN
tence, nor a 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 thov-
sands OF fine touches. every one Of which
serves to bring out 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 innumerable facets. each cut and pol
ished with infinite care and patience
There is only one reason why this book

The Kingdom that the Father planned
His children all viii equal stand
As flowers i'll the field
There each one has a goodiy space
Each yeom1H Of the fowery race
Each has a ioOthold On the Earth,
A place for business and for mirth.
No privilege bars flowers access
To Esrths whole store Of preciousness.
The flowers stand level on Gods floor,
With equal neaIness 10 His store.
And flowers, they have no private ends,
But stand together as close friends
They send their beauty on all things.
An equal git to clowns and kings.
They worry not; there is enough
laid by for them Of Gods good stuff
Enough for ALL and so no fear
Sends boding on their blameless cheer.
This noble blessedness can be
In kingdoms Of Equality.
So from the field c0mss curious news
That each one takes what IL can use
Takes what its lifted cup can hold

And all give back with pleasure high

What is the origin OF thc Easter rabbit?
C.. W. ".
It is not known precisely when the as
sociation of the rabbit with spring festi-
walls began, but il certainly antedates the
celebration of Easter as a feast Of the
church IL 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 il is n 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 iienti-
fed with the religious ceremonies cele-
brating the advent Of spring, and was thus
connected with our festival Of Easter.
