heads were not pulled back in the ac
eustomed manner. Mrs. Knox, who
NAV stiIl be regarded as a new conner
in the official family, has made friends
everywhere by her charmingly cordial
manner. She is so small and girlish-
looking that she is often mistaken for
her daughter, and it is hard to believe
that she is really the mother of a 20
year-old son. Miss Rebekah Page
Knox is proud of her Bible name,
which has come down to her in sue

fair Rebekah of Colonial days. Like
her mother, Miss Knox is petite, with
soft dark hair and eyes and a sunny
disposition. She was graduated two

worldwide travel.

success. The grave trouble with many
OF the present day novelists is that
they make volume out of just about
sufficient material for a short story.
Many times friends of Mr.. Phillips
have implored him to save some of his
short story plots for novels of Western
life, but he says he has so many plots
that he can afford to be prodigal In
marked contrast to this practice, as
have said, is the method of many nov
elists. One of the recent books, "Sev-
erance," by Thomas Cobb. while being
a delightful story in a certain sense,
might have been vastly improved by
liberal use of the blue pencil in the
editing.

Wallace Phillips Making an Envi-
able Reputation.
New York, Jan. 31.-As a scientist,
Marconi is pretty generally known.
His intimate friends have been
charmed by his power as a musician.
He is an accomplished linguist, an en-
thusiastic athlete and a modest recip-
lent of various honors as a practical
man of affairs. He draws a salary,
half a crown a day, as member of the
Italian navy. and his King has re-
Gently made him a knight. All these
things are known, more or less, of this
young man of % years, but / venture
to assert that very few persons are
aware of the fact that Marconi has
almost completed a book Marconi as
an author is a new role. but If he car
ries it out as successfully as he has
carried out all the other labors which
he has attempted. the sale of his book
will run into tens of thousands. The
volume in question, for 1t will be made
into a volume this spring. is Marcon's
own story Of his part in the develop
ment Of the great scientific principles
which have made II possible for him
20 link the continents Of the earth to-
gether with nothing less than etheric
waves. For the past two years Mar
conf has been devoting some OF his
spare time to the labor OF collecting
his material. and It is safe TO say that
his book will be both clear and author
itative. He has inspired the reading
public with confidence because he has
made II a rule never to say anything
which was not true and never TO ar
firm he could do anything which he
had not actually accomplished. Sucn
book as he will have written during
the progress OF his great work cannot
fail 10 be OF Importance or to have n
cordial reception, both from the scien-
list and the man OF the street.
