SYSTEMS or THOUGHT
AND THEIR RELATIONS

'sThe Evolution of knowledge" by
Raymond ST. James Perrin, is a review
of philosophy in which the chief sys-
tens of ancient and modern thought
are compared with the object of meas
uring the approach of each system to
the goal of philosophy. which is held to
be the demonstration of the unity of all
things. The author seeks to demon
strate that knowledge can be unified
by o-ordinating the sciences. and that
the most general terms of existence
can be reduced to single principle. He
considers that the highest use of phil
osophy is to strengthen religious faith
by giving to our devotional instincts
the sanction OF reason. The whole his
tory of philosophy is sought to be given
In very brief outline; some Of the great
est philosophers only receiving few
pages of exposition.

STRUGGLES OF A woman
TOLD IN A NEW NOVEL

Rosamond, the woman called THE
Rose of the World in the new book SO
entitled, is the beautiful young wife of
Sir Arthur Geraldine, Lieutenant Gov
ernor of India. She also had been wife
to a young British officer, Captain Eng
lish, man idolized as a brave leader
by the men who served under him and
also by his wife, who in her new mar
riage does not cease to mourn for her
old love-the man who had called her
his rose of the world" and had given
her a love virginia. and intense and i'm
possible to forget or relinquish.
In the character of Rosamond the
authors. Agnes and Egerton Castle,
make a study Of a woman who seeks
happiness, or at least peace, by striving
to be imperturbably passive and nom
resistant under the strokes of fate. She
does not find the method her self
imagined wisdom chose to be the ap-
pointed way for happiness to come
However, she deserves happiness, and
at last it comes in destiny so strange
and surprising that her life makes
quite an interesting and pretty story.
The pictures that help the story are
so well done by Harrison Fisher and
Clarence F. Underwood that they al
lure one into the wish to read the text
and find out what the pictures mean.

ROMANCE OF HENRY W
AND HIS MAHY LOVES

Henry VIII of England and his re-
lations with three women-Catherine of
Aragon, Anne Boleyn and Jane Sey-
mour-make the principal subject mat
ter of the historical novel, Windsor
Castle" by William Harrison Aims
worth
The glamour of the supernatural Is
thrown around the story by the rela-
ton of the doings of the demon, Herne.
the Hunter. This apparition has a part
to play in nearly all the principal
events and the descriptions of him and
his doings are quite ghostly and we'll
written. The purpose of the tale Is
chiefly to relate the coquetry Of Anne
Boleyn and of how severely she suf-
fered for it. She is described as a
woman of such rare beauty and ac-
complishments that she could easily
have permanently ruled over Henry
had she not desired to hold other hearts
besides his We are told that she had
irregular but charming features, a
chip beautifully rounded, brows smooth
and white as snow, and the rose could
not vie with the beauty of her cheek.
Her neck, of course, interests us-that
neck on which the headsman's ak was
to fall; it was long and slender. Her
eyes were large and blue and of ire
sistibIe witchery.
Turning from this picture it is inter-
esting to get the image the author has
discovered for US Of the woman who
was Ann Boleyn's rival and beat the
reigning beauty at her own game of
supercession. This Jane Seymour was
tall, exquisitely proportioned, with a
complexion of the utmost brilliancy
and 6elicacy; large. liquid blue eyes
and chestnut tresses." She had such
charms as made it seem marvellous
that Anne Boleyn should have kept her
in her service where her charms were
sure to captivate the monarch 1t is
supposed Anne Boleyn was overconfi-
dent of her own attractions until too
late, and then she became too fright
cned of Henry's temper to dismiss Jane
Seymour.
One of the best bits in the book is
where the two women find each other
out, and Jane Seymour counters
against the Queens accusation by
showing that she knows that Anne was
encouraging the passion Of Sir Henry
Norris.
A half somber and half amusing. CO.
incidence in this tragedy of love is
that when the King wooed Jane Sey-
mour she answered him in the self
same words which Anne Boleyn had
used when the monarch made love to
her-"I am grieved to hear 1t, my liege,
for I nevar can be yours except as
your Queen Anne overhears this, and
there is scene. The King refuses to
dismiss Jane Seymour, saying that the
lovemaking was his fault and not hers.

NEW VERSES WRITTEN
By THE NEGRO POET

The widely appreciated negro poet,
Paul Laurence Dunbar, has made a
new little book of his pretty verses.
They have been published separately
before by the Century Company and
others, but when thus brought together
they make quite a nice little bouquet
of Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow" "
as he entities them; and they prove
that the power Of giving literary ex-
preston to poetic fancy is one of the
gifts of the emancipated race. One of
his best is called THE Place Where the
Rainbow Ends" in which he expresses
the sentiment that with contentment,
though the pot may hold pottage, and
the place be a cottage, there may be
the place where the rainbow ends, and
there the fabulous treasure lie. Per-
haps the best one Is that called The
Barrier"
The Midnight wooed the Morning star
And prayed her: Love- come nearer;
Your swinging coldly there afar
To me but makes you dearer''
Then she:
but One ordained when we were born,
In spite of loves insistence,
That Night might only view the Morn
Adoring at a distance
But as she spoke. the jealous Sun
Across the heavens painted;
He hurled his flaming lances far;
The twain stood unaffrighted,
And Midnight and the Morning Star
Lay down IN death united.

MISS BILLY" A STORY,
WRITTEN By TWO WOMEN

Miss Billy'l is a story written by
two women journalists of Dubuque, Ia,
and it tells of how Miss Billy and her
family had to move, for financial rea-
sons, into q most unprom1sing street,
and of the way she went about cheer
fully and cleverly to better her neigh
borhood. The sayings and doings of
the queer people round her make
tale to tell. and the upper purpose of
the book is to show what tact and
bright -mindedness can do in obviating
the disagreeables of environment un-
der the obstacles of which most peo-
pie would sulk. Miss Billy was:
A girl who has so many willful ways
She would have caused Jobs patience to
forsake him,
Yet is so rich in all that's girhood's praise
Did Job himself upon her goodness gaze,
A little better she would surely make him
The volume is illustrated by Charles
Copeland. One scene he has chosen to
give us sight of is that wherein the
heroine is visited by some fastidious la
dies from the former fashionable neigh
borhood of Miss Billy's better circum-
stanced existence. These ladies are of
those who hear no sound Of super silly
'in the adverb supercilious." They first
burst upon Miss Billy with the an
nouncement that it is such an odd CO.
incidence that Miss Billy's new house
is the one that had formerly been oc-
cupied by the coachman of these cor
dial callers. Miss Billy is trying to
brace herself to be imperturbably po-
lite under the fire of these thought

cumstances, when enters to her rescue

him the situation is saved, for he

home extensively Conservatives,

over the clever youth says to Miss
Billy: "Well?" Reproachfully Miss

her to open the box holding the remem-
