"Borlase & Son." by T. Baron Russell, published by John Lane, New York, is one of the best and most artistic TO-. mances of the season. Those who have. read his "A Guardian of the Poor will know the quality of his work, and it is we'll maintained in pthis volume. His -stsasssaes pictures of certain. phases of English life such as the dull rnonotony and grind of big retail tablishments. fasten themselves in the memory, and there is certain fascination in his work that compels the attention and holds the interest until the book is read from cover to cover. As the author takes pains to point out, this work as regards it's main plot, is wholly inde-. pendent of the other. A childless mer-. chant and his wife have an adopted son whom the merchant, despite the en- crossing of his soul in the large business he had built up with unremitting care, is devoted to and has ambitious plans for. In the career of this son is illustra-. ted with marvellous fidelity the toll, the: overcoming of obstacles, jealousies and Tivalries that are essential to winning business success. The character of Mir. Borlase is strongly drawn and the com non-place, narrow minded, parsimoni- ous, tyrannical merchant is portrayed with an artistic hand that impresses the reason despite the commonplace mater ial.

 Mildred Champagne's book of short stories entitled Love Tales from Real Life comes to hand from the c. M. Clark Publishing Company, Boston, and will be found extremely interesting. It deals plainly, without varnish, with some phases of married life, and in very realistic fashion, with here and there a champagne sparkle. The author shows a subtle knowledge of the inner sanctu- aries of the hearts of men and women and her plain speaking is to wholesome purpose. She warns of the danger line, and writes we'll and draws her charac- ters with artistic strength. AS is well said of the book: Her sentences are crisp and impressive.
