What the White Race May Learn
From the Indian" by George Whar-
ton James. illustrated with numerous
photographs-The author has been
associated with Indians more or less
for MAJ years and has evidently
studied them closely. The book at
tempts to show wherein the Indian
customs afford instructive or valuable
suggestions 10 the superior race"
Among the things worth noting about
them the author enlarges on their APP
probation and practice OF nasal and
deep breathing, their out-of-door life,
their simplicity of diet. as a result
of which dyspepsia Is unknown; their
Indifference to the elements. their
wise instruction OF their youth
at the proper time as to the myster-
les OF sex II the author seems TO
have unduly exalted the Indian as
model IL must be admitted he has, In
certain respects, made out something
of case in favor OF his untutored
wisdom.

"Spinster Farm" by Helen NJ.
Winslow, illustrated from photographs
by Mary G.. Huntsman--A record OF
the pleasant experiences OF two maid
en- ladies who retire from the stress
OF city life TO live In country place
IN Massachusetts. One is OF "a certain
age" and has been given to lectures
and clubs. the other Is young and has
her dreams of art and career. In
the country they forget all this and
devote themselves unreservedly TO the
pleasures OF rural housekeeping. We
are told all about how they got set
tied. how they bought horse. what
sort OF neighborhood they lived in,
how they amused themselves. how
beautiful the fields were. as well as
many other relevant things. The rec
ord is brightly written. and. like as
not. will inspire others to follow their
example. Marriage ends their bucolic
Joys. AZ the beginning OF the book
the elderly spinster refuses the prof
fered hand OF the professor" She

ing. He asks her 10 marry him. but
she declines and gives her hand to
the professor" Then they all go
back to live In the city.
