 The new novel "Hilma" is taking we'll and deserves to win popularity. It is of the Zenda type and is already pro- nounced as the best of this type since 'The Prisoner of Zenda." You forecast the storys trend at the start in read ing on the first page these reflections; When I turn and look back on those few weeks am bound to ask myself how it all could have occurred-meet- ing with lords and dukes, the confidant of Her, the companion of brave Karl von Merlder, the adviser of gruff old Kurlmurt. There you have the ingre- dients which go to make up this charm ing tale. Much interest also attaches to "Iilma," as 1t is a first story. The author is William Tillinghast EIdridge and he promises in "Hilma" to take a flattering place among our story writ CTS. It Is not Ruritania, nor Graustark, nor Wallaria, this time, where the scenes occur Scaryania has the honor. The story is full of snap, full of real life and adventure-a real Gleart-stir- ring romance. The setting is unusual ly picturesque, and has the charm of old-time Europe, with the atmosphere of to-day.
 The authors style Is fluent, dramatic; compels interest; quick action; page after page of conversation-spa sparkling, at times even brilliant.
 Says the New York World Hilma' Is no more extrayagant of fancy and no less holding in interest than the Zenda romance"
 The book is eXeellently illustrated by Harrison Fisher and Martin Justice. The cover design is handsome. Pub lisl1ed by Dodd, Mead & Co, New York; $1.50i at Judas.
 President Hadley will publish next week, through Charles Scribner's Sons, volume to be titled "Baccalaureate Addresses and Other Talks on Kindred i Themes" being collected talks at Yale delivered at Battell chapel at the open ings of various college years, graduat- ing class addresses and other public utterances. The addresses, as Dr. Hadley says in his preface, deal chief ly with the moral and religious prob- lems of college life,' while others deal with the questions which man must answer when he makes his choice of a career" The chapters recognizable from their titles by many recent grad uates, are the following:
 Baccalaureate Addresses; The Great ness of Patience q9OO); The Christian Standard of Honor d9OD; The Tempt ation in the Wilderness (1S02); The Spirit of Devotion q90S); The Large View of Life (19O4); Religious Rules and Religious Ideals (1905); The Choice of Faith Q906).
 Talks on the Opening Sundays of the College Year: A Christian Democracy Q9OD; Public Approval as a Moral Force (190O; Responsibility to Our selves and to Others (1903); Moral Les sons of College Life (19oD; Fixity of Purpose Q905); The Christian Ideal (19O6).
 ! Messages of the College to the Church: The Development of Public Spirit d90D; Education and Religion (19O3); The Public Conscience (19O5). The seventh English edition of 'The Viper of Milan, by Marjorie Bowen, Is announced by the London publishers. In this country Messrs. Mcclure, Phil lips and Company are experiencing a success with 1t almost equal to that which it is enjoying in England, and l the book has secured a wide public in | Canada, Australia and South America. | As might have been expected, an Ital- ian translation is being prepared.
 "The siamese Cat" by Henry Miller Rideout, which is now appearing seri- ally in the Saturday Evening Post, will shortly be brought out in book form by Mcclure, Phillips and Company. It is very novel sort of adventure and mystery story. The scene Is laid in the far east and principally in Siam, and every page is saturated with its TO- nance and mystery. The whole is a 1 background for very charming love story.
 Stewart Edward White and Samuel Hopkins Adams, co-authors of "The Mystery" (MoClure, Phillips and Com pany), have an interesting method of collaboration. Each writer prepared his part of the work independently of i the other. The two parts were then exchanged for criticism and fitted into the work so ingeniously that the story appears entirely uniform, although written by two persons. The splendid reception accorded "The Mystery serves again to refute the idea that January is poor month for publish | ing. The publishers report a third large edition immediately.
 Among the notable fiction of the new season will be a romantic novel by c. l N & A. M Williamson, entitled, "The ! Princess Virginia" which the publish CTS declare will outdistance even Lady i Betty in popularity Messrs. Mc- Cure, Phillips and Company also an- nounce the real, authentic successor to Ellis Parker Buffers masterpiece of humor, Pigs is Pigs" It is entitled, i 'The Great American Pie Company, | and it is as humorous In its way as it's | famous predecessor. o. Henry will l greet his admirers with new collec- | tion of stories: "The Trimmed Lamp and Other Stories of the Four Million. J Miss Marjorie Bowen, the author of ! II.
