they must certainly fade before the
strenuous life of Pauline. She began
as the companion of Lady WINSTON,
ana progressed backwards until she
mad won the affections of her lady
SHIPS husband. and continuing the
process of an inverted progress broke
up as many families as possible, and
nnally was shot by Lord WINSTON, who
did very good job when he rid the
world of Pauline.
If she had a spark of genuineness or
real affection about her, it was inspired
by Dick, the youthful son of the woman
whom she supplanted. For Lady Wyns-
ton died-a natural death we are told
and before six months had elapsed
Pauline was lady WINSTON, but finding
another man whom she thought might
advance her more in the social world Of
London, she very promptly divorced
WINSTON and married a diplomat, who
from the easy manner in which he was
taken in by Pauline, we should Judge to
have been other than a far-seeing di-
plomat. But what is q diplomat in
the hands of clever woman, and Pau
line was clever, but like many clever
persons, she was not quite clever
enough to escape the results of an evil
life, spent in wicked plotting to further
vain ambition. She completely fooled
her diplomatic husband. and while he

married heroine, the unmarried one is
out of date, and in real life as in fic-
ton, she is used only to fill in, as the
sub-plot is used in the drama. The
real heroine of today is either married
or, divorced from a. cruel husband, and
her adventures after she is forty are
much more interesting that the ro-
mances Of her young lady-hood.
1t has been said by some wise per-
son that no man knows what life is I'M
til he has loved woman of forty, so it
is in fiction that the tale of the mature
woman is much more interesting that
the colOrlesS love affairs of the girl

is left for the reader to settle each in
his own way. Mr. Ford saws that

nominally an official inspection of the
military academy and was carried out
with considerable ceremony.
The address was frank and rather
curt The commander-in-ch chief said he
had been cadet himself and had
stayed longer at school than any OF
his hearers. He thought he ought to
know how cadets felt and how they
should act. He had tried leniency.
When the fires first broke out at the
academy he stopped the punishment
of the cadets in order to allow them to
attend the coronation. Instead of TAX

line was at home shedding tears over
his enforced absence, Pauline had
progressed to a villa with her lover
Dick, the son of her first husband. This
delectable tale comes to an end by the
appearance of Lord WINSTON and the
untimely-but longed for-death of
Pauline. The story is altogether an af-
lair which makes one believe more
that ever that publishers indeed long
for good material, and from lack of it

above.
Plenty of Historical Novels.
Contrary to expectation the fall lists
so far issued by publishers, show that
far from being out of it, the historical
novel is holding its own. There are
various reasons for this, hard always to
explain, perhaps chief among them this,
as quoted from well-known literary
paper: "A few dates, a few Shakes
pearlan CALCULATIONS, chapter or two
of ill-digested history. and the thing is
done" In other words, it is easier to
lake ready-made romance from the
past, trim it up, stuff it with dialogue
end it happily and send it forth to a
world that is easily satisfied, than to
write one off-hand. But is historical
