 'orrespass," by Mrs. Henry Dudeney.
 (Small Maynard St Co.)
 Those English men and women do know how to write books in which we see the people described, not by what we are told about them so much as what they do and say. That is a great charm and a method Of treatment in which the Eng fish far excel the American writers, as a class.
 In this book 'Trespass," there are two men, one Stephen Fairmanner. just come into his heritage of the inn at Penny Pottage and one of the men of affairs in that little English village. The other. Oliver Heron, brilliant London artist The woman in the case Is Julia Wing who has come back from two years in London to view her old world with something like disdain. The scene of the story Is partly Penny Pottage and partly London
 Julia Wing was to marry Stephen, little bit of man with great ambitions to be something "big" It was source of great modification to Stephen to real ize his physical size. Stephen and Julia are about to be married when Oliver Heron, a brilliant chap, appears on the scene, meets and fascinates Julia and 1t is all off with poor Steve. Julia, visiting her well-to-do aunt in London, sends for
 
 wanted and was going to get chance to prove to Juia' how he loved her that she dosen't live him any more and can't marry him. She loves another but doesn't tell Steve that it Is Heron. Stephen goes through all sorts of dark. gloomy times. but ever he Is true to Julia; he still wishes to prove his love. When Heron deserts Julia after treating her as badly as he could Steve, after long cao picions, you know-fnds Julia in great trouble. He takes care of her; he is now proving his love, for he marries her; first to save her; second because he still loved her.
 The book which is the ripe work of a woman who has won her place in the front rank of modern English novelists, tells us further how Stephen, noble in his love, takes Julia home and cares for her and her child. Of course, later Heron, the eagle, appears on the scene again, and Julia, who still loves Oliver, is about to run away with him again, when Stephen, still proving his love saves her just in time.
 The little insignificant Stephen Fair manner becomes something great through his unmeasured love for his wife.
 From the first page the reader will real ize that he is in the hands of an author of notable power. The development of the story is unexpected and it glows with dramatic fire.
 '"Trespass' is first-class. Not book to read hurriedly; on the contrary, 1t is a superior book, one that you are likely to finger over.
 "Foolish Questions" by R. l.. Goldberg. (Small, Maynard & Co)
 This book is one of cartoons. by Mr. R. l., Goldberg, artist on the New York Evening Mail. MT. Goldberg illustrates very ridiculously many foolish questions we have thrown at us every day, some- times oftener.
 For instance: A young man and young lady are seated in the parlor. The young man on the young lady's sofa and the young lady on the young mans lap. As is the custom, so MT Goldberg says. in human society, they are engaged in a little game of that harmless and inexpen- sive indoor sport known as osculation. The young ladys mother. greatly con- cerned over the safety of her Constance, appears in the doorway and asks with natural indignation, Young man, are you kissing my daughter?" The young man. still osculating. promptly replies. NO madam. I'm shampooing her hair with bottle of furniture polish.'
 Most of the cartoons are very ridiculous. "The Lady in the White vei," by Rose
 ONeill. (Harper & Bros.) f Rose ONeiI1 can draw and paint, as most readers familiar with books and i magazines know she can draw and paint some delightful illustrations. i When it comes to writing books, that is another pair of shoes. as Stephen Fair manner says in ''rrespass.
 The book. "The Lady of the White ] Veil" for quite number of pages is all right. that is to say. you can get through a great number of naxss with
