"The City of Delight"

By Elizabeth Miller. author of The Yoke"
Published by the gobhs-M Merrill company,
indianapolis. Price si5o.
The City of Delight" is a beautiful
and exciting love drama of the siege
and fall of Jerusalem, that great re-
ligious crime. described as second only
in Importance to the siege of Troy.
Laodice, the daughter of Costobarus.
was married when 4 years of age to
Philadelphus Maccabaeus, a lad of 10.
Costobarus says to his friend Philip:
Little did / think when | married
Laodice to him IA years ago that the
lad Of 10 and the little child of 4 might
one day be king and queen over Judea"
That gives the key 10 the situation, for
suddenly out of a clear sky Philadel-
phus sends word to Costobarus de-
manding his wife and her dowry 1t
appears then that Agrippa has aban-
doned the throne of Judea and Phila-
delphus means to have It. Costobarus
has every confidence in Philadelphus,
for not only has he all the learning OF
the pagans, both Of letters and of war,
but because he is great grandson of
Judas Maccabaeus- He decides to send
his daughter and fortune with her,
SO that not for any lack of moneys
shall Philadelphus fail
Misfortune follows Laodice. First
the plague attacks her train and takes
off her father and most trusted servant
Then a designing woman joins the
caravan and steals the box containing
the dover money. also the camels and
with q confederate makes away. Poor
Laodice is left with mute slave
Momus, who more than once thereafter
saves her life and keeps her from
harm The troubles of Laodice and her
unknown husband Philadelphus fl

all the excitement of the love drama
and the interest in the people who

a bettermenr of American social and
governmental conditions.
Gertrude Strong IL a young woman
about % years Of age, unusual be-
cause her father had taught her eco-
nonics. When the story opens she
just returned from Cambridge, Eng
land, after taking course of lectures
there.
The author, by the way, is an ar
dent champion of the equal rights OF
women in all governmental matters
and his characters demonstrate how
wholly unnecessary it is for women
to lose any of their femininity or grace
while engaged in that work.
The real hero of the story, George
Randolph, receives a dying charge
from his father to enter public life,
''but only in such a way that you
can be of real service to mankind"
At Harvard Randolph meets Frederick
Ames, the son of one of the great
railway magnates of tho country, and
they become great friends. 1t is while
visiting at Ames' house during vaca-
tion that he meets Gertrude Strong.
She has vowed to devote her wealth
and her time to the service of man
kind and considers that a knowledge
of politics Is necessary. The story is
filled with political discussions. but
if one tires of that there are beauti-
full mountain legends and charming
love scenes.
The present era or regulation OF
large Industrial enterprises is rather
mercilessly assailed. but the logic
seems to be irrefutable. While the
tone OF the book is clean and whole
some on the whole. even child will
know all the plans will be dream
and cannot come true for an age.

field Co., New York. Price Si.5o
What particular good can be gained
by reading a novel like "The MARQUIS

1t does not amuse; 1t does not enter
tain; il does not instruct. 1t is even
dull, though its author has palpably
striven to avoid dullness. 1t Is q story
about the very fastest of the racing
sets in England. 1t describes the daily
life of these people in a way perhaps
intended as a warning, but so poorly
done that II misses the mark One
hesitates to believe that the tale can
be true to life. for the depravity and

"The Politician

BY Antonio Fogaxzaro. author nf The Saint
"The PATRIOT etc Published by Luce &
Co., Bostcn. Price Sl.50.
Antonio Fogazzaro occupies much
the same position in Italy that Robert
w. Chambers does in America. He
has a decided tendency toward gloom.
but that is fault. or rather trait.
of many of the European writers OF
the present generation, and for many
readers it will detract not at all from
the pleasure OF his books. Fogazzaro
has already given the public a taste
of his genius in such novels as The
Saint" The Patriot ''The Woman
and several others, but he is at his
best in The Politician his latest
work, ably and sympathetically trans
lated by G.. Mantellini.
Though in novel form it is really
a character study of a man whose
life Is devoted to politics, and who
at the beginning of his career is an
ardent refornier. His life is disap-
pointment through an ill-starred love
affair. The story is wholly of Italian
life and italian politics, and as such
is an interesting study of the Italy
Of today. While the political condi-
tions are quite unlike our own, the
same difficulties lie IN the path of the
reformer: bribery and corruption are
as prevalent there as here.
Slgnor Fogazzaro is realist; one
may add, however, not extensively So
at least not in the fashion of the late
misguided Zola--he writes of things
as they are, but selects the nobler
themes. This tale full of remuneration,
almost tragedy, has been the most
talked of book of the year in Italy
and In its excellen; English form
should repeat its success in America.

"Ihe Metropolis

By Upton Sinclair author OF 1.-The Jungle -
etc Published by Mofat. Yard & Co., New
YORK. Price $l.5o.
This latest effort OF Upton Sinclair
is hopelessly dull. Critics feel an obli-

will throw it aside before many pages
are turned and so miss the moral les

world. Such numbers OF hysterical

former. More is the pity, for he does
not know enough Of the life he de-
picts to write OF 1t. He may have in
vestigated the Chicago stockyards. but
after reading The Metropolis" ] am
inclined to doubt some of the
statements in the other book. The
author has evidently studied New
York society in tenderloin res
taurants but wherever did he study
the manners and customs OF club
dom? Certainly not in the New York
most Americans know. His cast OF
characters contains every freak ever
advertised. There is not one breathing
human being among them, but he
makes a BID for interest by very
thinly Disgusting the names of promi-
nent New Yorkers--the Astors, Wander
bilts, James Hazen Hyde. Stanford
White, even Eddie Foy.
The hero is a young southerner, a
lawyer. Allen Montague. son Of north
ern father and southern mother. He
goes to New York TO practice; is taken
UP by society-gets one fee of $4,000
and after half a book of tiresome ad-
ventures decided to go back TO a less
strenuous life. 1t is these same tire
some adventures that are so weari-
some to have to read. They are made
up of the ble-circumstances
and conditions yellow journals have for
years exploited as customs, appurten-
ances. habits or expenses of the rich.
This book would find great favor In a
mutinous servants hail.
Readers who have followed this au-
thors work have seen him more than
leaning toward socialism. but his doc
trines contain none of the noble senti-
ments of that teaching. His incendiary
utterances seem inspired entirely by
hatred and envy, and certainly do more
harm to the cause than good. He
gives himself free rein to rail in this
book, but he so oversteps his mark
that his audience will laugh IL II
fingers to listen. So the reader need
not fear that the civil war between
capital and Labor. which he predicts
will occur at once. nor for this authors
reasons. Even If one could overlook
the inaccuracies, the story is essen
