Miss Corelli designates but a simple love
story. placed in thoroughly ideal and
charming setting, an old English manor
hour, in the typical English village, and
the tale, opening in the gracious month
of May plays through all the seasons,
until May-time again. The hero is gen.
tie and true-hearted country clergyman
very lonely and very charitable and much
beloved by his flock, but living quite to
himself in an atmosphere of books, soli-
tary walks and dreams The heroine, re-
turning to England after a long absence
on the continent and in America, suddenly
appears in the gardens of her fathers
home, like some blossom of May herself
After various vicissitudes this fragrant
little flower is transported to the minister's
garden, a conclusion quite naturally fore
seen, and the book ends like the old fairy
stories. There is brilliant touch of
color in the personality of a certain little
singing protege of the heroine Cicely
who trills and MARBLES and dances all
through the book playing the LAllegro to
the English girls Penserosa.
There are the usual shafts aimed at the
English so-termed aristocracy, and some
pepper shaken upon John Jacob Astor the
"anglicised American there are descrip-
tions of English homes and garden sym
pathetically rendered, and there is moth
ing radical or Objectionable in any sense

The best financial men of the coun-

interest any sensible man expects to
receive for money. One of the estab-

cannot earn any more. This Is as we'll

presses a sensible opinion will be

When a physician tells woman sur

our hospitals are full of women coming

The Pioneer" by Geraldine Bonner. Pub
lished by The Bobbs- Merrill company.
Some two years ago Miss Geraldine Bon
ner published 'Tomorrow's Tangle,"
which was a vigorous story of the early
life In the extreme west, and she was
hailed as worthy successor to the artist
who made us familiar with Roaring Camp
and Poker Flat Miss Bonner's second
novel, The Pioneer is just from the
press and is love story of charm, de-
scribing the strenuous life of the west
with dramatic power. Miss Bonner's
father was for many years on the edi-
torial staff of the New York Herald and
later on Harpers Weekly. Then he went
west with his little daughter, living in
the mining camps of Colorado and Cali
fornia. He educated her from childhood
to be a writer by means of reading and
composition under his personal supervis-
ion. The result of this intimate acquain-
lance with the life she describes and the
careful supervision of the technique of her
literary effort Is now apparent in her
published work. The colored illustrations
by Harrison Fisher are noteworthy fea-
ture Of the book.

"A Prince to Order" by Charles Stokes
Wayne. Published by John Lane, New
York and London
A Prince to Order" one of the spring
publications in fiction, is a stirring ro-
nance involving a story of double Identity
that could well battle the ingenuity of
Sherlock Holmes. A wide-awake Wall
street broker suddenly finds himself the
helpless tool of a set of conspirators led
by willy old student of phrenology and
chemist of unusual power These situ-
atoms, coupled with an embezzlement of
large proportions and the missing heir to
the throne of a small European kingdom,
give a combination that is mosa adroltly
worked out by the author. And that too
In so plausible way that the verties are
In no way offended. AS may be imagined,
the love story upon which the romance is
constructed is thus very prettiiy compn-
Gated.
In "a Prince to Order Mr. Wayne has
written smooth, sprghtly bit of fiction
that once begun will not readily be laid
down.
