A delightful opening arouses great ex-
pectations from "The Three Miss Graemes'
by s. MacNaughtan (E. P. Dutton and
Company. and the reade- is led
by the poetic fancy of young girls brought
up in Scottish leland Eden coming into
contact with the conventionalities OF city
life. The story unfortunately drifts
soon into the most hackneyed forms OF
British fiction in order to harrow the
heroine. the three young women vanish,
leaving a very wooden manikin in their
place. and what plot is left disappears in
commonplace sentinentality. The au-
thor has done good enough work before

The AcrOp0Iis.

An excellent example OF the admirable
work that American scholars have been
doing in Greek antiquities for nearly
a generation Is Prof. Martin l.. d Ooge's q
"The Acropols of Athens tMaomillans).
Since the establishment OF the American
school at Athens Americans have held
their own fully with their British, French
and German rivals in the task Of bringing
TO light again the buried treasures OF
Hellas.
In this exhaustive monograph on one
OF the most famous places In the world
the veteran professor OF Ann Arbor has
accomplished a difficult and delicate
piece OF work. The volume OF new dis
ooveries is very great. and nearly every
one has given rise to scholastic discus
sion. il not dissension. The fighting
ground for Greek scholars in the last
thirty years has shifted from grammar
TO archaeology and. even IL more amenity
in expression is observed than in earlier
polemical days. expressed opinions are
stoutly maintained. Prof. D0oge under

summsr ze all opinions entitled TO respect.
How carefully and successfully he has
done this can be appreciated by those
who know something OF archaeological
controversy.

The sesuues OF the Adrlat,c Coast.

In several spots the picturesque
eastern coast OF the Adriatio has been
invaded by tourists, but they are not
very numerous yet. and the difficulties
of rapid conveyance will probably keep
the more Objectionable ones away for
a long time to come. 1t is a corner Of
Europe that is full OF romantic history
and art and beautiful scenery, that js
not too far remote from civilization for
the leisurely traveller and that is well
nigh unknown. 1t was described n an
admirable book by an English archi-

many parts are like an ampliied guide

human interest. which he has clearly
seen and is too familiar with. Still Mr..
jackson has covered the whole ground
very thoroughly; his book will prove a
very serviceable guide TO the art treasures
OF the land. and will also suggest the
manner in which out of the way places
may be reached.

what Man VIII Drink

A subject Of general interest, which
on the abstract or ethical side Us the cause
OF endless controversy and on the grosser,
convvial side has produced much ex-
ceIlent literature, has been treated fully,
and il may be said adequately, by Mr..
Edward r. Emerson in the two volumes
of Beverages Past and Present &c. p.
Putnam's Sons). The author with great
prudence includes non-alcoholic drinks
in his history, but the space devoted to
these, though sufficient. is inconsider-
able compared with the beverages Of
which alcohol is q part. With regard TO
the concoctions Of the past opinions as
TO their relatively Intoxicating qualities
must be a matter Of doubt. though Mr..
Emerson provides abundant testimony
from contemporaries.
The arrangement is geographical. After
a rapid survey Of remote antiquity Mr..
Emerson takes up the beverages OF each
country in sequence. beginning with
China and working his way westward
through Europe and America, till he
reaches the East again. He seems to
take deeper interest in the strange drinks
of distant lands than in those that are
at hand. He also trusts rather ingenu-
o,isly TO the statements In printed books
without examining their authority too
closely. He makes up for this. however,
by observations Of the customs Of many
lands which seem TO be the result OF
personal investigation.
An example OF the minuteness Of his
inquiry will be found in the chapter on
Germany. where. speaking Of beer, he
describes accurately the wash called
.Liohtenhainer" by the students Of jena
though be misses the even MASTER -Gose'

There Is any amount Of interesting
information about drinking customs,
