Open Country; a Comedy with a Stine,

In this story there is decidedly un-

daughter OF highly respectable and
immensely wealthy London merchant

Is her very faithful and devoted cava-
ller and lover, who yet dares not
speak. There is a lover, however. who
dares TO speak. but who has no right to
speak. and that is Neville Ingram, who
has no business whatever to- love her,
as he IS married man: yet 1t is In
gram who touches her heart and gets
her utter devotion. She is entirely in
different to reproach AID TO the po,
sltion in which she places herself. She
thinks that Ingram wants her, that he
needs her. and that she can make of
him better man His personality
utterly pcrmcates her. and she is OBJ,

AIDS TO HAPPY FEELING.

The Value of Happiness. Edited by
Mary. Minerva Rarrows, Introduction
by Margaret j., Sangster, Published
by n, NJ. Caldwell Co. New York.
The plan of this book is To give from
authors. from classic to the present, ey-
prcsslons appreciativc of the value of
happiness and of a helpful contact with
those who are around us. The extracts
are very numerous, and they cover many
forms of expression IN poetry and prose
An examination of the volume shows
that pretty much all of the authors that
are in any way known have been drawn
upon for contributions TO this work,
1t is book of happiness throughout,
and with the oncoming of the end of
the year and the CHEEKY Thanksgiving
and holiday season, should be in great
demand. The author has evidently
spent au immense amount of labor on
this compilation. and that this labor was
wisely bestowed and guided by good
taste, both literary and sentimental. is
evident throughout the pages of thc
