NEWS or THE BOOK WORLD
Marriage and Divorce Viewed From 4
High Level In a New NoveI-A Book
to Attract Attention for ths Picture.
Drawn and for the skllful Handling Of
Its subject.

Just what is worth living for, just what
is worth dying for?''
Was 1t fair that the best of her life
should be sacrificed just to develop him?
Had she no right Of her own to happi-
ness?"
The first of the above questions, asked
by one Of the characters in He That Eat
eth Bread With Me, by Mrs H A. Nit
chen Keays, is answered in part for one
Of the other characters in the word Hap
piness' in the second half Of the other
question. Happiness surely is worth
while? Yes, If one accepts the definition
of happiness implied by the central figure
of the story in this: Happiness, real
happiness-not the cheap stuff we all so
passionately crave until we learn better
always costs an enormous price, Such
happiness, she means, as is the fruit of
pain-discipline, which one cannot covet,
yet from which springs all that is loftiest
and most enduring in life, to quote
questioner number one again. But
such a definition can be accepted only on
condition that the time limitation be re-
moved. The best of ones life could hard
iy with reason be voluntarily devoted to
suffering for reward Of a few added
| years Of physical comfort and mental ease.

These are some Of the things one is
forced to think of in reading the book
in hand, a novel handling the divorce
problem with delicacy vet in way it
has certainly for a long time, needed to
be handled, that is in a way to make
people consider whether it is not a vastly
more serious question than it seems in the
eyes OF the law or the church. Law
says Mrs. Mackemer, the central figure Of
the story, in speaking of her husband who
has secured divorce from her and mar
ried another woman, cannot one day
make him mine until death, andrthe next
day give what is mine to another until
death" "The church doesn't worry much
about the sacredness of marriage" says
Airlie easier. whose conclusions are al
ways interesting If not always sound.
Lest this line of comment give the i'm
preston that the book Is a dry treatise on
| the principles of marriage and divorce, ii
should be said that it is quite the con-
| trary; it is a book of much more than
usual interest, much better handled in the
telling, and full Of sunshine as well as
shadow

LIMBURGER BY MAIL

When the employees of the house post
office In Washington arrived the other
morning they found strange package of
mail awaiting them. It proved to be some
thing entirely new in the franking line
The odor Of the package, which came in a
wooden box Of considerable size, threat
ened to put the postal clerks to rout. 1t

Weisse Of Wisconsin, and proved to be

Mississippi, yesterday, declaring also
that i'll that state, with its million and
"a half OF voters, the president will not
receive more than forty votes.
1t is difficult TO understand how a
man Of Governor vardanan's position
and attachments can give utterance to
such extreme sentiments. The presi-
dents attitude toward the colored
man is the occasion Of it all. The
Booker z. washington incident is
cited as the principal cause of offence.
Because the president chose to recog-
nize Mr.. Washington as the leader of
his race, and, in the most natural way
imaginable, asked him, when an i'm

was interrupted by the arrival of the
lunch hour, to sit down with him and
have lunch while they continued their
conference, he has committed an Of

He is man Of high character, gen

is that he has a dark skin and mixed
