ARE WE EVER QUITE READY
FOR OUR BEST WGKK IN LIFE
UNTIL WE HAVE EXPERIENCED
LIFE'S BEST AND BITTEREST?-
Margaret Sherwood's The Coming of
the Tide suggests the above question.
The story is that Of a southern girl who
has lost her mother by death and fees
to the north, to place on the Massa-
chusetts coast, for quiet and solace, and
of a young man who has abandoned the
traditions Of his family for activity
and given himself over to reading and
philosophizing, not even taking an in.

two meet, of course, and, out Of their
acquaintance comes the young man IS
awakening.
The young woman proves a good in.

he found her among the flowers.
Women and gardens" he observed,
have always had a peculiar affinity,
from the dawn Of time.
THAT reproach," she said, "comes
badly from either man or the serpent.
Which part are you playing?''
By way Of answer he merely laughed.

the girl at length.
IT was merely wondering he

Neuu Verses BY Floyd Raze Of North
Story BY Margaret SheDood-A of

A NoRTHERNER IN DIXIE
There have been many northerners in
Dixie-the geographical Dixie-but few
have ever got within the real Dixie,
that Dixie which is feeling-a belief
Ia sentiment. Perhaps it would be i'm
possible for real northerner to enter
this latter Dixie. It is something to
which one is born Cor was born, for
the s New South" is displacing it), not
to enter this sacred Dixie are told in
The Northerner, a 'tfirst novel;" by
Norah Davis, and the tale is one of I'M
common interest.
Gregory Falls is the northerner. He
buys an electric lighting and street rail
way plant in a southern city, and goes
thither to make his home. He pro-
poses to do business on business pr1n-
ciples. For example, he sends bills to
Of the Confederacy among others, for
lighting their meeting places. The
thing is unheard Of, and there is a
vehement, tho decorous. protest against
the northerner s methods. Even the al
dermen get bills (and there Falls shows
his lack of business perspicacity), and
the plot thickens into an attempt to
ruin Falls financially, so that local cap
italists may get hold Of his property at
d song.
Falls does make friends, however, and
one of these is the belle of the town
very winsome belle, be it said. An,
other is son of the old south, a sec.
ond hero in the tale, in whose life there
is subplot of no little interest.
The outcome of Falls battle for bust:
ness standing and for the heart Of
charming girl is the authors story
and is told we'll for the most part, the
Falls lapses Of acumen are rather ex
asperating at times. The author is de-
cidedly better in drawing feminine
characters than she is with men, ana
we can hardly accept as credible the &C
count of the behavior of the mob which
plays a part in her story: Nev.erthe
less, this northerner in his Dixie en-
vironment with the problems he has tc
face is distinctly worth reading about
and Joan, the heroine, is character one
feels glad to have met even in q book
