Man and Master" by Lawrence L.
 Lynch. (Laird x Leo.
 Man and Master" is a sensational de- tective story in which the power of hyp- notism is used to solve the mystery. "I Leroy Elliott" q prominent business man, Is found dead in his room with a bottle of morphine on the floor and a half-smoked cigar on the table, 1t was soon found out that Elliott had not com mitted suicide but had been drugged by the cigar, which had been steeped in a tdeadly poison-but by whom? The mo- tive for the murder was most obscure, and was only discovered after very care ful search in which MT. Elliotts Wife nearly loses her life and the brother g wonderful power of hypnotism discov- cred.
 Man and Master is the average de- tective story nothing unusual about it. The cigar steeped in an obscure poison is a new proposition; the book will please the lover of detective stories and kill a lot of time. which might be used for better purposes
 The first thing We know, there is going to be written a detective story dealing with a murder from feeding the victim on aground glass; 1t is said that that method of removing undesirable husbands and persons excells any other, and 1t is a wonder that the imitators of A. Conan Doyle, who has himself done noth- ing but initiate very we'll Edgar Allan Poe, has not as yet exploited the use of ground glass as food There is yet time alas and alack

 Hshed by Stuyvesant Press, New York) We'll bad but necessary Job might as
 well be gotten over with as soon as pos sible. These two books, titles above. re- views of which were requested some time since by readers of this page, came to this department a week or so ago. after
 this reviewer, striving to please his read CTS, made requisition for them 1t has been difficult to decide just what to say
 in a review about two books which are really so indecent in theme and plot. also
 handling, that even an inkling of the plot ] or theme can not be hinted at, much less | discussion, but here goes
 Of all the inexcusable, indecent filthy productions that have ever been sent out by reputable publisher, and not except ing or forgetting the 21 days book either -"The Yoke and MT. and Mrs Vil- liers'-are the limits, and then some The reader must know that the themes of these two books are awful when in this day and time of printing almost any thing, no inkling of the books situation
 could be given in any newspaper that even claims to be respectable.
 There is no reason to sermonize and wonder just why such books are written and worse-printed. because we all know why, namely, to sell And do they sell? Well, rather. This reviewer doesn't know
 and the publishers won't tell, but it is a
 sale wager to make that the sales of
 The Yoke and MT. and Mrs Villiers,
 will average each close to 100000 copies
 Then, what is the answer? Why, it is easy; simply that people, somebody con sistlng Of those who buy indecent books.
 but talk of decent ones, encourage with their money the publication of filth. Pub fishers would not publish books such as
 The Yoke" and MT. and Mrs Villiers" If they didn't sell They sell all right. all right-no mistake about that-and if ia sad commentary on things in general and peoples minds in particular when we do see books of this character selling by the thousands and worthy productions a drug on the market.
 We all make believe we don't care for such books-maybe we are right-bul somebody buys them, otherwise they wouldn't be published. One can put that in ones adding machine and compute 1t.
 The President of the United States was appealed to some time ago to pardon an editor of the middle west who had been convicted of sending a certain publica- tion through the United States mail, and the President very properly declined to do so, giving very satisfactory reasons The exhibit in court upon which the edi- tor was convicted doesn't touch within 100 miles either of 'The Yoke or MT. and Mrs. Villiers"

The Country House" last year which was one of the best, if not the best, novel published in this country in 1907. That book is one that we go back to and re-read, each time with new inter- est and pleasure while we visit with the Pendycies at "The Country House" In 1900 Mr Galsworthy wrote and pub
 lished in England Villa Rubein" and that book has just been brought out for
 the first time in America by the Put
 nams. And a delightf book it is.
 Villa Ruben" was located at Bone ten, in southern Europe. and occupied 1 by a rather mixed assortment of one
 English family. "Harz,' young artist, falls in love with christian the step
 daughter of Paul von Morawitz," who had married an English widow with money the mother of Christian. In
 stead of acres Paul had inherited the faith that nothing was too good for Von Morawitz" and lived up to that faith diligently. Paul had one child, Greta, half sister of Christiana, very dear little 12-year- r-old creature with her fresh views or life and people. 1 Christiana's uncle Nicholas Treffy was
 a rich old bachelor, devoted to his , niece. then there were the goVerness i of Greta Miss Naylor, and Chrstiana's , aunt, Mrs. Deci who talked philosophy. The plot of this splendid novel deals : with the artist Hartzs love for Chris ] tiana. Her stepfather Paul does not , approve of the love affairs, and informs i the police that Harz, an old political offender, gas then within reach of pun ! ishment, and Harz aas to flee, assisted by the fine old uncle Nicholas Treffy- who Is tfe best character in the novel.
 Villa Rubein' is simply one of those
 few stories which stand out way above the flood Of bast-sellers. From re- view the reader can gather no fair idea of the novels worth-for it is about one of the best stories one can 1 find anywhere. The English writers excel generally as does MT. Galsworthy
 in particular in his delineation of char
 acter, not by verbose description, but by action and speech. We know and appreciate the people described not by what We are told about them, but simply by what the author in Villa 1 Rubein" compelled them to say and do. Villa Rubein" has been completely rewritten since it's appearance in Eng ] land eight years ago and is published
 now for the first time in this coun- try. A lover of good books should
 not miss Villa Rubein."

"The Old Allegiance" by Hubert
 Wales, Mitchell Kennerley).
 Mr Kennerley, who publishes MT Hubert Wales new story. "The New Allegiance" warns us thusly: Tt is probable that this new book by the author of The Yoke" will be the great est surprise of any of his novels. It Is story that will be finished by all who take 1t up." MT. Kennerley Is quite correct in both statements
 The reviewer for this paper has been requested twice by readers to discuss two books written by MT Wales, namely The Yoke" and MT. and Mrs. Villiers." Striving always to please, this department In turn asked for the books to review. They have been re- ceived, and are now awaiting the time when this reviewer can muster sui f1cient nerve-and the word nerve" IS used advisedly-to attempt a discussion of those two volumes. So when the re- views do appear it must be understood that they do so by request" If suf- flcient nerve can be located at this writing reviews will appear below; and 1t will take lot of Iron clad nerve to do 1t, too.
 But going back to The Old Ale. glance" Just how any writer who was responsible for The Yoke" and %Mr and Mrs. Villiers" could produce so sweet so charming clean and delight ful a light romance as The Old Ale glance" undoubtedly is-wen it's a wonder, that's all
 young chap named Deason went to visit with d college mate named Crewe. up to the latter's country place on the northwest coast of Scotland Crewe had a young stepmother; his father was dead. This father had been accustomed before his death to take trips each summer for two weeks off some place of which his son knew nothing but wanted to. Having located some papers" in his fathers desk which gave an inkling as to the fath- er's annual visits, Crewe enlists Dea- son into a scheme to visit an Island off the coast of Scotland, so the sum- mer trip was taken with that idea in view. But the pretty stepmother in- terVenes. for many reasons. She pre- vents this trip by the two young chaps to the island in question-until she got ready to let them go. When she did get ready off these two chaps 1 went on their voyage of exploration. When they arrived in row boat at the landing, Deason was greeted by persons in old-style clothes 100 years back, and addressed as his majesty"
 The story deals with Deason's and Crewe's experience on the island and it would be unfair to any prospective reader to go into any further details about the plot--it might spoil the pleas ure. But take this reviewers word for i It. The Old Allegiance" Is one of the cleanest, sweetest, most charming ligkt stories one will find in an age. Just 1 try it and see.

Don't for Bach elors and Old Maids, , by Minna Thomas Antrim, (Henry Altemus Co.,, Philadelphia. Most of us know better than to eat peas with a knife or to make a loud sloofing noise with our soup but there are lots of us who are not quite sure how to tackle an artichoke or an as paragus stalk. Many a man knows how to choose a horse without getting tho worst of the bargain, who might, and gain might not, be happier man if he had had an opportunity of consulting
 Mrs. Antrim's little book of "Donts' in
 regard to choosing wives In her bright little book there are plenty Of Don'ts' for men and maids both old and young. A great many people do not know whether the donors card should be removed from a wedding
 gift or left on 1t; whether a bride married in her going away gown should wear her flowers or carry them. when man may take a woman's arm | tthe first chance he gets?) or when she may take his. It is the intention of
 Mrs Antrim's little book to clear m all these little difficulties so brightly l and amLsingly that 1t would be difficult to commit a social solecism after read ing her advice.
 Here lew or Mrs Antrim's say- ings:
 "A man who wears a tail coat be- fore sundown or frock coat after dark needs keeper. Don't be too good natured. Be kindness itself but not an easy mark. Don't discuss your ailments before visitors.
