In due treatment of the sentimental as

that the writer has chiefly aimed at am

standing shocks that no monarchy could

blessings upon all Who came under their
control and influence.

Mrs. Clyde" the story Of a social ca
reer by Julian Gordon. D. Appleton
& Co., New York.
This story of the exclusive Boston so
ciety of fifty years ago shows that styles
change in gowns much more radically
than do the strict social laws which
hold in the highest social circles of any
city. 1t is the history of social caEeer,
with all the generalship of a woUld-be
social leader shown in the cIearest light.
A young girl Of a good, Gid Yankee fam
lily, dissatisfied with the smaIness of
life in a seeend-rate city and ambitious
Boston, married an old millionaire piano
manufacturer to satisfy her social am
bition. The hard struggles and final So
cial success, due in a large part to ac-
qUaintances formed during four yea 8
sojourn in Rome and other foreign CAPT
tails, are We'll ted, and the native shrewu-
ness of Mrs Clyde in accomplishing Ter
social ambition is We'll brought out But
her daughter marTies for love, and the
ambitious mother will have nothing 10
do with her. At the height of her sue
cess as leader of the most exclusive So
ciety in Boston and New York, Mrs
Clyde is stricken down, and the attend
ance on her of hired servants without
affection and the desertion by her So
ciety acquaintance tend to emphasize
the words of the cid wise man, vanity
of vanities. all is vanity" The book
makes no pretense of teaching any great
truth, but it does SO nevertheless.

'"rhe History of Our Country. From the
Discovery of America to the Present

Eight volumes; octave. Published A
ing company, Cincinnati, o.
Many times have the chronicles Of the
United States of America been written.
Never before have they been presented
in more interesting, instructive ana
comprehensive manner than in the eight
handsome Volumes which have recently
been laid before the public through the
entcrprising activity of a Cincinnati pub
fishing house. In compiling The History
of Our Country" Edward S. Ellis, a.
NJ, has with mastery skill, performed
q mighty task. His work begins with
q description of primeval America AMI
its aboriginal inhabitants. Then he mar
rates the course of discovery, Including
both legendary and authentic accounts
r. of European transatlantic voyages. No
material art for the purpose of the his
torian is ignored. The traditions of Ice
land and Norway, the casual references
to Western lands found in Old commercial
records, monaStic manuscripts and in the
folklore Of maritime regions in the Oil
World, are all drawn upon for the pur-
pose of aiding in the solution of that
most absorbing question, WHO was reaI-
ly the discOverer of American"

The most attractive thing about this
little volume IS it's pleasing makeup,
including Illustrations by Bryson Bur
rougls. Mr.. Randolph has noble
thoughts. but ne lacks the quality Of
expression which would give his verse
a place in the realm of poetry.
In an introduction, which he calls IAN
apology" he gives slight insight into
the history of his verses. He is a busy
man Of affairs with strong poetical
ideals, and as a boy he wrote poems
which his mother valued and saved. A
few of these earlier efforts are included
in the forty compositions making M
the present volume.
