SOME OF THE new BOOKS


William Farquhar Payson has a manner
of writing which resembles that of George
Meredith. A light irony of life, style full
of Eistrionics a species of fine writing
which is not Objectionable, are some of his
characteristics. He has an enviable power
of description, which is apt and artistic
to the highest degree. ''Steete glanced

heroine of the story. Her face was that
of young girl not only spiritually but
physically in perfect health. Her hair,

Several Missouri papers are lamentins
that no Mssourian can officially prove that
he was born. No vital statistics are kept
in this State. 1t is practically the only
commonwealth in existence of which this
is true. We can prove we were married:
the records in the office of the recorder
of deeds can be brought into requisition
for that purpose. But only the family
Bible can be depended on to show when
and where we were born, and Ii is no
longer the fashion TO have a family Bible

The Grey Cloak.

Readers of fiction who like abundant ad-

newsstand who does not?-will find 1.-The
Grey Cloak we'll suited TO their tastes. The
story opens with murder and mystery.
Its leading characters are high-born men
and women of the court of Louis XIV. The
King does not appear, but Mazarin, the
power behind the throne, is an element in
the tale. Men cOnspire against him. paper

Even on shipboard, on the long voyage, in

enacted, still complications arise. In Que
bee adventures begin again; duels are
fought by rivals in love; Indians figure;
they capture the beautiful lady, there is a
rescue and a tragedy. Every now and then
the grey cloak serves purpose not intend
ed by its maker. Events follow swiftly on
each other, the villain comes to his just
deserts, true love triumphs, the way is made
clear for return to old France and home

1t is well-written story in which there
is not dull page; 1t is told with a vivid
ness as III the author were part of what
he describes, instead of a looker-on over a
barrier of moro than two centuries. 1t is
a story of incident and movement, and the
adventures are those that might have hap
pened in the days when courtiers made gay
and idle love in one hour and engaged in
dark political intrigues in the next. 1t is
melodramatic, perhaps, but that fact does
not make it less attractive to those who
seek entertainments thing it is the chief
function of a novel to afford. Harold Mac
