''The House of FuIhlment," by Mrs.
 George Madden Martin-''The Story
 of Little Paur'-ADefending the Is-
 IandH-Grammar School Algebra"
 ''The Home of Fulflment," by Mrs. George Madden Martin, published by Mcclure, Phillips and Company, New York, will be eagerly sought for by all who recall the pleasure with which they read the same authors Emmy Lou and who thus knows that she can write an admirable story. "The House of FuIfilment'' has already delighted the many who read it when published as a serial in MeClure's magazine. In this, her second story, Mrs. Martin has proved herself a finer expositor of char acter and writer of books than in Elm my Lou" In "The House of Fulfill ment" Mrs. Martin has drawn the DOT traits of five women, each type in her self; Molly the pleasure-loying daugh- ter of the south, not the south of to- day, but of the sixties. when girls were taught that laughter was life; Harriet Blair, whose cold austerity hid an inner shyness and self-consciousness; Char lotte Leroy of the south, and pleasure loving, too-egoist, if you will-but with a sweet unselfishness, a -heartedness that distinguished her from the selfish, petulant Molly; Emily, beautiful and ambitious, who married for money and found that she wanted what money was powerless to buy, and lastly Alexina. a temperate mixture of north and south, daughter of the reckless Molly and AL exander Blair"
 The story holds the readers attention from first to last. As the New York Times says:
 Mrs. Martin has infused in her book great deal of sympathy. The break ing of Harriet's fine reserve and her final surrender at thirty-eight is han dled with a delicacy without which So impetuous love at eight and thirty might look like caricature. And the household of the Leroys, with King i William, always an irnperious youngster even when he had grown up to bes a man, the kind-hearted captain, and Charlotte, with her pretty helplessness they are all good to read about.
 Without preaching a sermon Mrs. Martin has, nevertheless, seemed to H. lustrate the theory, comforting in it. self, that that which we put into life comes back to us-yea, even fourfold. !, Price $1.5O; for sale by the Pease-Lewis Go.
 "The Story of Little Paul. from the "Dombey and Son. of Charles Dickens. Tn the Famous Children of Literature Series" edited by Frederic Lawrence Knowles; illustrated, by Bertha c. Da- vidson and others.
 The little Paul of 'Domhey and Son. is one of the most interesting children of English fiction, and his story makes { a perennial appeal to the heart. He ap- pears to have been a favorite character with Dickens himself The novelist's frequent references to him in his cor respondence with Forster show that this child took from the first a strong hold upon his mind. It may not be gem erally known to those who are unfamil- far with Dickens personal history that the story of Paul Dombey Is to a con- siderable degree autobiographical. T hope you will like Mrs. Pipchin's estab- lishment," wrote the novelist to Forster. Tt is from the life and I was there. It is Interesting to observe that, in the words of one critic, There is in little Paul the same kind of quick preeocious intelligence that we now know was so remarkable in little Charles Dickens.
 IL has been the aim of the editor to present the history of little Paul Dom bey in form that will appeal to even very young children. The language of the author is left substantially un- changed, though the narrative itself is somewhat abridged. It is intended that the story shall serve as an intro- duction to the great novel of which it forms,a part, and thus pave the way for wider familiarity with one of the mas- terpieces of English literature.
