the peculiar qualities that enable writer's to
reproduce character, even to tell a plausi-
BILE tale The plot Of this novel is impossible;
the treatment makes It appear trivial and alb
surd. The characters never give the impression

some. frequently ridiculous. If the book were
written by one else Max Rel could be
vastly entertaining in holding It UP to ridicule.
Curiously enough, though written by French
man, it breathes the very spirit OF English
Phistinism.

THE Domestic Blunders of Women (Funk &

glossary of terms used in printing offices. and
there some wise notes the question of

go easily into an authors pocket. 1t will do him
no harm TO take it with him when he goes on a
