NEW BOOK NEWS

 With thousand lives that have gone before,
 And a thousand souls with 6 thousand goals
 Must press through single door. Oh neighbor. think. as the drive wheel spins,
 | Of the gutted lamps and the torch
 Of the babes unborn and the yawn- l ing gins
 What Is the Crown and Who is 1t that | wins?
 Florence Wilkinson. in the February
 Number of McClure's. | When Edith Rickerts first book. The Reaper" was published. it re- | ceived an unusual amount of attention | from the critics and the public, and | some very extravagant prophecies were
 made which seem likely to be fulfilled
 in Folly" which comes out in Febru- ary. Miss Riekert has chosen the quaint coupiet:
 ''In tragic life, God wot,
 No william need be, passions spin the
 plot"
 as an index finger to her work. The story deals with the conversion of a purely selfish love into the broad hu- man charitas. and It's principal char acters are a beautiful. but selfish wo- man, poet and a patient husband. There is R great tension in the plot and the psychology of these three promi- nent characters.
 "HazeI of Heatherland" is the title of new book by Mabel Barnes-Grundy, to be published in March. The book was received with a good deal of en- thusiasm by the English critics, and is one of that rare type of English book which is filled with the charm of Eng fish rural life. now about as familiar to Americans as to the English them selves. The title in England was "The Vaeillations of Hazel,' which was re- iected in this country because of the numberless books which have used ex- actly this form of title within the past two or three years. The story is filled with quaint characters revolving about very charming country girl. who finds her ideal in a playmate of her very early childhood. Both as story and picture of English rural life the book has rare charm.
 Social Progress for 1906" will be published on March 1st, thoroughly re- vist and with many added statistics.

Anderson, of Exe- ter, N IT.. with an introduction by Dr. Josiah Strong. MT. Anderson traces the deterioration of the country town. which began with tho introduction of machinery and the new industrial or- der, and points out the extent of rural depletion.
