 MT. Henry Arthur Jones' fine play. The Hypocrites.'
 E A lawyer in George Cary Eggles- tons latest novel, Love Is the Sum of It All, (Lothrop. Lee, Shepard Co.), isn't very favorably impressed with This profession. He says: "I detest it, II loathe 1t, I abhor 1t. It requires of those who would successfully practice it complete surrender of manhood, an absolute abnegation of conscience, slaVish subseryience in the client for pay. The lawyer who hopes for sue cess must stand ready to take a re- tainer, on either side of any case, wholly regardless of the merits of a case. What would you think of newspaper that accepted retainers in that way, standing ready, for pay, to advocate either side of any question? And having accepted a retainer for the wrong, the lawyer must retain the pretense of believing that the wrong Is right; he must stultify him self by insisting upon nlisinterpreta- tion of the law He must employ all the ingenuity<of mind that he possess es to secure triumph of the wrong over the right. He must sacrifice his very soul for his client, He must make himself particeps eriminis in fact, If not in legal definition, every day of his life. He must dicker and deal. He must quibble and quirk. He is a man with to let sign on his conscience, a man whose brains are for hire to the highest bidder--an in- | tellectual hirellng and a moral prostl- tute."

 The first theatrical performance in Shelby, N. C.. the home of Thomas Dixon, Jr., occurred last week. Mir. Dxon's play 'The Clansman," was giv- en to packed house." The perform ance took place in the high school on the site where the Ku Klux Klan held | its secret meetings and where later Il was dsbanded by the government. The house was sold out for days before the arrival of the company, and the re- ceipts were nearly $1,900--in fact the whole county made strenuous efforts to see the performance. Inasmuch as the total population of the. place is l. 250, this isya pretty good showing, and it is a rather interesting coincidence to note.

She has become an enthusiast for the au- tomoblle in spite of earlier prejudices against it. She excuses her delayed enthusiasm on the ground that the au- tomobile affords the best escape from heat and from mosquitoes she has yet discovered.
 The grown-up readers of Mrs. Bur. nett's new book, "The Shuttle" (Stokes) are the same peopla who as children read Little Lord Fauntleroy" at it's first appearance.
