one of the chief promoters. She is Miss
 Harlan, falsely placed in the light of a
 conspirator to rob her lover the brave
 and honest kennard, the former owner
 of one of the big manufactories, of his
 control of the trust, the formation of
 which he has been led to consent to by
 her father and others. This misunder- standing forms one of the climaXes of this strong and able story. How the misunderstanding is cleared up and what follows is very interesting and readable part of the story's fabric. This is novel which will interest a large class of readers. It is story of New York finance and society, dealing largely with the financial side The characters are not puppets, but are re- alistic and powerfully presented. About year ago the author, who is lawyer in New York, published vol ume of sketches entitled The Case and Exceptions" which attracted instant notice because of their admirable qual- ity. All or most of them, dealt with incidents suggested by lawyers eX- perience. The present book fully equals the other in interest and strength. Of the story the New York World says; MT Hill has brought to his storytelling the knowledge and in- sight born of study and observation. He exhibits the happy faculty of inh parting human interest even to his oc- casional relations of technical details. His bits of local color from New York business and society life are tastefully applied there are dashes of excellent comedy and passages of natural pathos The climax of the love story is reached by an original process. The book is in nocent of monotony and has no point at which interest lapses.
 The Brooklyn Eagle says; "The st,o- " is crisp and spirited, the dialogue

New York and many phases of life in that city are shown. There is nothing wooden about the characters of this book, and the movement is rapid and to well-wrought climax. It is a story of tot day, typical of the thousand and one of to-day's chemes of consolidation of manufacturing and other enterprises in
 the interest chiefly of the promoters,
 with the strike problem, the walking delegate and other up to date problems figuring in the evolution of the story.
 lnterwoven is a charming and unique love story, the heroine of which is lovable, beautiful brainy young wo- man whose heart and sympathies are in the right place. She is the daughter of

some years ago, when it was called "whiff- -whaff,' but it did not become popular because no one seemed to ap- preciate the amount of skill with which it might be played.
 In 1900 the game reappeared in King Edwards Island. Some historians mis- takingly say that 1t was then invent ed" by MT James Gibbs, an engineer, living at Croydon. He began to play it in very primitive fashion. using cham pagne corks that he had rounded for balls and the lids of cigar boxes for battledores.
 The present intense popularity of the game Is due to the celluloid balls which have been substituted for the rubber ones with which it was formerly played, These celluloid balls are extremely light but very strong; they will not break anything but the heart of the man who knocks them into the net or off the table. After carefully consulting makers of ping pong sets, it can be esti- mated that the great sum of S627, 900 has already been spent for the implements of the game in America. J. Ja- ques & Son, Ltd, and Hamley Bros, London, have made most of the sets used in England. They sold about a million sets during the 1rst year of the craze there, and it is carefully calcula- ted that their profits out of the game already reach the enormous total of ten million dollars"

In the Country God Forgot. A story of to-day; by Frances Charles; 12mo Decorated cloth, s1.5o; published by Little, Brown & Go, Boston. A strong, original, virile story by a young California writer, of the uncul- tured southwestern American mover powerful and engrossing. Miss Charles has written a story brimful of human nature, one which arouses our sympa- = thies and appeals to our emotions, mak- ing us love or despise it's principal ac- tors.
 The hate of q rich old farmer, the Ar izona cattle king, for his only son, the joy of young love, the happy innocence of childhood, the bangs of remorse, ten der pathos and subtle humor are all worked skilfully into brilliant novel.
 There is kind of rugged strength about this story, with clever bits of phi losophy, bright conversations and con- densed character sketches, together with series of dramatic scenes,
 The loneliness and aridness of the life in Arizona as it impresses itself upon those who have been bred in the east is admirably described. What Hardy has done for some parts of England this new writer has essayed to do for our own west, and it must be said that her first effort is full of promise. The book gives some graphic pictures of the open air life of the country and has distinct peculiar strength and charm. Copies at the Pease-Lewis Co.'s.

Comments of Countess; published
 by John Lane. New York; $1.00 net; for
 sold by Pease-Lewis Co.
 A writer who wishes to remain sub- rosa has given us in this charming book Va collection of odds and ends of socie- ty chatter" which she hopes will give her a good start in the world of letters and at the same time prove of interest to the world at large. The collection of odds and ends In question is the latest volume of satirical sketches emanating from London and has to do with the Season, Theatricals, Dress, Music, Rest Cures, Guests, etc, and is intended to give us glimpse into the life of Lon Hon's Smart Set The New York Com rnercial Advertiser says of the produc tion: I've have feeling that the wri- ter of the book, who is herself supposa- bly an active member of the society she describes, thoroughly enjoyed the task she set herself. The Comments" are wonderfully bright and clever, and oc- casionally we even suspect the author of irony with malice intent. But this does not happen often, and, taken all in all, they are thoroughly good natured and full of the brightness and delicacy of touch peculiar to a cultivated wo- mans style in writing Many of the countess observations on the subjects she talks about admit of quotation" Before closing, we ought to add that the countess husband, who goes by the name of Carlton, has written preface to the book which forms the last chapter in the volume. We can only explain this peculiar circumstance by quoting a paragraph in the begin nlng of the Comments which reads as follows. The preface of this book will be found at the end, an inversion abso- Iutely in accordance with all the GUS toms and views prevalent in modern so- ciety' Tn this preface Carlton declares that the book is all right, and that his wife is lot better than she lets you see We rather think We agree with Carlton on these two subjects The sketches which make up this volume were first issued in the Outlook of Lon don. and are now reprinted in book form from the columns of that journal. The Brooklyn Eagle, in its full and comprehensive review of the book sums up as follows:
 ''Whoever she may be, the Countess IS a very clever and companionable per son. There isn't a dull page in the whole range of her comments and it isn't the cleverness of a tainted cyni- cism. She likes to friyol, but she is sound hearted, and when she exposes the foibles of her social order she is good humored and not bitter. Withal, khs is good deal of a philosopher"
