THE SILENT DOOR. BY Florence VIII
kinson author of Kings and Queens"
New York Mcclure, Phillips & Co.
Washington: Woodward Lothrop.
The silent DOOR shuts off from the rest
of a rambling, old New England house the
room of the daughter of the house. Danae
Penrith had fed from home before the tale
begins. Little Rue years after is left on
the threshold-it would almost seem that
her destiny was to take the place Of the
erring Danae. The plot is concerned with
the unravelng of the mystery of little
Rue and with the search for Danae.
Those portions of the book which deal
with the simplicities of Joppa, with life in
the old Penrith house and with childish
vagaries of Rue are really charming. Rue
is a delightful child, at once intense and
childish, a worthy portrait to hang in the
collection of child pictures which the MAX
ers of books are gathering for the world.
The story of her vagaries, Of the intrica-
cies of her conscience. of the dawning
artist in her and of her love for her old
grandfather, Jsstinian Penrith. will de-
light many readers Justinian Penrith HIM
self is distinct individuality 1t is safe
to affirm that he must have been drawn
from the life-and from very intimate asso-
citation. All the personages of the quiet
New England milieu are individual and
vivid.
1t is unfortunate that, with these excel
her work with SO much of melodrama and
of unconvincing melodrama. The whole
New York episode is unreal and mechanical.
While Danae herself is. again, distinct
personality, the wicked Mr.. Beal is patiently
work of fancy, and Frederick Droll is also
out of key with the more real and whole
some parts of the story.

Prof John c. Van Dykes books on art

lures have established his reputation for
clear and Illuminating explanations of the
objects and expressions of the art of paint
ing. In his new book, Studies in Pic
lures: An Introduction to the Famous GAL

ject and one that has rarely been touched
on by other writers. The book Is divided
into two parts, in the first part of which
Prof. Van Dyke describes the effect on
famous masterpieces of being removed from
the position for which they were originally
painted, and the way in which many great
canvases have been retOuched and restored
and have changed in the gradual process
of Time and also Of the way In which IA
nous names are placed on pictures that
have no right on them, and Of the copies

FISHING AND SHOOTING SKETCHES.
BY Grover Cleveland Illustrated by
Henry S. Watson. New York: The
Outing Publishing Company.

Through the rather prevailing ponderosity
of Mr. Clevelands style the reader catches
at the very beginning CLEANS of humor, and
traces of a serene and genial philosophy
which attract him. The impression deep
ems as he reads, until. in the final analysis,
he feels that he has made discovery of an
unguessed phase of Mr.. Cleveland's per-
sonalty. The book is effective plea for
the out of doors, and since sport in some
form seems to be the only force strong
enough to induce modern civilized man to
live out of doors, a plea for hunting and
fishing whose virtues the author vaunts.
"A Defense of Fishermen is delightfully."-
funny in quiet way. The classifcations
of fishermen into their proper groups, the
true explanations of the origin of fish
stories." the application of taking the
leviathan' to present-day political prob
lens, the plausible reason why the big
gest fish are always lost all these sportive
essays are all the more humorous because
it is sometimes necessary to dig them out
of formidable entrenchment of words. 1t
must be admitted that Mr.. Clevelands OBJ
servations on the various species of hunt
ing expeditions are not marked by the
sympathy with which he discourses of his
brothers of the fishing reel. He is inclined
to be ironical rather than tolerant of the
hunters various weaknesses. 1t is easy
to see whether the authors heart is with
fishermen or with the serene duck hunter

An additional volume to the Scribner Sc
ries is another step in the publication of
notable edition of Ibsens works. When
finished 1t will have the distinction of being
the only complete English edition. The
translations of the plays We're made by
William Archer, whose versions were ap-
proved by sne poet himself The volumes
have all been thoroughly revised and re-
edited for this edition by Mr.. Archer, who
has also written for each of them a new
introduction, partly biographical and partly
critical. The publication in recent years of
letters and documents relating to Ibsen and
his plays has made it possible to give more
fully than ever before the circumstances
connected with the creation and produc-
ton of the various dramas, and these new
introductions contain not only brilliant and
discerning critical appreciations of the
plays, but also biographical and historical
material Of the greatest value and interest

them about.
Every man on board the ships will have
shore leave before the cruisers leave

land two years ago.
Sightseeing in automobiles will take
seven hundred sailors OF the two ships

town. On Friday the other 700 sailors
will come ashore and be entertained in
similar fashion. The leading japanese

General Kuroki and his staff. Fifteen
hundred invita- tions have been sent out
for the reception which is to precede
the banquet.
The banquet next Friday night to Ad-
miral Ijuin and General Kuroh will be
presided over by Admiral Dewey.
