product of the Science Press, Chicago,
is IAN attempt to stimulate men and
women to the discovery of the truth
that

selves"

garment OF character and the outer
garment of circumstance, and that, as
they may have hitherto woven i'm ig-
nOrance and pain they may now weave
in enlightenment and happiness. Its
claim is that "a man can make Of him
self what he Wills" While this state
ment is undoubtedly open to question,
the book is nevertheless a most at
tractively gotten up affair

Jean Chamblin. author of LADY
entitled to credit for selecting a new
locale-the Aggression her novel; there
is that much about it that differen-
tiates it from the general run. Other
wise it is merely a story of a girl
actress who seeks rest and finds a hus-
band-which may or may not be synon-
ymous. Many illustrations help some.

Of the American Book company for the

are above reproach

lions arei Elementary Latin Writing,
