cupies a prominent position in national

Dover is regarded as the best man who

are that he will be continued in that

" LITERATURE ~
A Man and Some Women.

Her Infinite Variety" IS a clever and
entertaining story by Brand whitlock.
author OF THE Thirteenth District" It
is a much less ambitious affair than it's
predecessor. but quite as we'll done. Ii
deals with an amusing episode I'm the
life OF a young and callow State Senator
of Illinois who undertakes u make a
great speech in favor of womans
suffrage. but finds his plans frustrated
by women. The cleverness Of the book
lies in the intuitive skill with which the
author has managed his women-Maria
Burnley Greene. the lawyer; Amelia Ans
ley, betrothed of young Vernon. and
Mrs Overman Hodge-Lathrop leader of
society. They are all true to life to
the last button, and delightfully."- done
The final Interview between Miss Greene
and Mrs. Hodge-Lathrop is one Of the
funniest things in recent fiction. and
nobody ought TO miss IL. though 1t is
feared that some unsubtle readers will
miss the fine edge of humor in Miss
Greene's mastery retreat from a DIM
cult position
Mr. Whitlock wisely leaves his own
convictions on the subject Of woman s
rights unexpressed. though we may
think what we like and infer what we
hike from his three pictures q feminine
characters. One thing is certain. he has
drawn the situation as It is. Given the
elements Of such a problem. it would
work out precisely thus.
The book is illustrated copiOusly by
Howard Chandler Christy, who has done
his work more sympathetically than
usual. perhaps, because Amelia AnsIey
and Morley Vernon are very nearly the
Christy type any way.
ii would be interesting to know. how
ever. why Mr. Christy shows Amelia
wearing two different costumes in
course Of one interview with her be
trothed. Some Of the rural readers Of
the book may take this as an intimation
that in good society a young woman
breaks off a conversation in the middle
to run upstairs and put on another gown,
or. possibly. does some sort of light
ming change costume act behind the
/ door There are other evidences that
Mr. Christy did not read the text which
| he is supposed to have illustrated.

A Canadian Novel.

The Imperialist," by Mrs. Everard
/ Cotes Sara Jeanette Duncan) awak-
ems at once the expectation Of enter
tainment. Mrs. Cotes Is never less than
entertaining. In this book, however, she
has apparently tried TO be grea: deal
more than that. and the result is not
altogether gratifying.
The novel deals with the life Of a
Scotch Canadian family In a small town
I of Ontario, more especially with the
career of the eldest son. Lorne Murchi-
son, who is just enough of an ideaIist
to become possessed Of the idea indicat-
cd by the title of the book. About a
third of it's pages are taken up with
discussions Of the imperfalistic idea as
4 II affects Canada; the rest is amusing
and delightful fction.FIf Mrs. Cotes had
seen fit TO separate the two. and written
her novel all in one piece, putting the
political information In separate
pamphlet. she would have avoided the
drag which is too obvious in every al
| ternate chapter. ano the narrative would
have gone merrily from start to finish.
On the other hand nobody would have
read the pamphlet at all
rhe book is readable even with this
I impeachment. however. and will be espe-
cially interesting TO those who are in
| terested in the Canadian attitude to-
ward this country and England In that
respect il is really q revela ton. and the
I information is so clearly put as not to be
wearisome-as information, that is. But
the reader who is impatient to know
what became of Lorne's private love af-
fair, and how Advena Murchison got on
with her deliciously impractical Scotch
lover Hugh F'inlaV will he inclined to
skip the politics. The ending of the
Finlay- MurchisOn affair is capitally
worked out. and a cleverer thing this
very clever author has never done.
The illustrations add nothing 70 the
book and are poor in themselves. They
should have been left out. The charac-
ter work Is quite graphic enough by
itself. (New Y ork: D. Appleton & Coz
