New Books.

"Talks With Barbara" is new
book that comes to Us from the pen of
Elizabeth Knight Tompk1ns. The
author says of herself that she is one
to whom truth is the summit of be-
ing; one in whom the hypocricies, the
pruderies, the false standards of the
world-especially in the relations of
men and wOmen-rOuse an antag onism
that demands expression"
She has certainly given expression
to the things in her demanding utter
ance in Il delicate yet honest and clear
manner.
The beliefs 10 which she gives utter
ance are concerning the things which
lie deep v beneath our entire social
organisln. g. hen the relations of men
and women al Just themselves properly
the whole social structure will e-form
itself. The book deals with these re-
lations and their read justment, and
is charmingly written and beautifully
gotten up.
