Two Women and a Man.

Thomas Dixon, Jr.. whose new novel, "The One Woman" is reported, a week after publication, to be rapidly approach ing the 5O,o00 copy mark, has replied to his legal critics who have noticed what they call serious legal slip in the story. that is. where a wife is allowed to testi- fy against her husband. The author says that this incident. like many others in the novel, is intended to show that the Utopian marriage relation not only ends the sanctity and unity of marriage, but is destructive of the foundations of law that rests on the monogamic group. The queer form of the socialistic mar riage ceremony in "The One Woman" by the way, is not unlike some real in- stances-in fact, some of the parts of the story following the change of the Rev. Frank Gordons love from one woman to another closely resemble the history of Prof Herron's case that excited the whole country a few years ago.

The Monarch Millionaire.

As one of the notable phenomena of modern life is the advancement of the millionaire into the millionaire, a book treating of the millionaire as monarch of society will be received with interest. The J. s. Ogilvie company have in press on the subject ''The Monarch Billion aire," by Morrison I Swift, which is study of the bearing of the unfolding billionaire upon American liberties, and upon the ideas of equal opportunity for which the nation is supposed to stand It offers those who have secured so much wealth plan for making themselves benefactors of the race in large sense The author shows how the trust may be used as an agency of evolution for re- moving every element of servility from the laborer, while on the other hand avoiding the tyranny of an industrialized state.

was furnished by inserted triangles of the
silk. The rufle on the elbow obtained its
fullness in the same manner.
