There is a suggestion of pathetic
contrast in the fact that +. Marion
Crawford's last appearance an un-
questioned master among serial novel;
lists should be made with so happy
and debonair a story as "The Undesir-
able Governess," which begins in Tho
Cavalier for July. The story is laid
in England of to-day, and deals with
a family of position and wealth, who
have had unfortunate experiences with
governesses. The mother inserts the
following advertisement in a news
paper:
GOVERNESS WANTED-To take
charge of two girls of fourteen and
fifteen respectively; family residing in
Yorkshire and London; must have
first-rate degree and references;
charm of manner, symmetry of form.
and brilliancy Of conversation especi-
ally not desired, as husband and three
grown-up sons much az home. Apply
by letter to J. F., p. o. Hanton, Yorks.
Judging from the first instalment,
this story must rank with the clever
est and wittiest of his productions,
while his famous qualities of plot con-
struction and vivid characterization
are in splendid evidence. Further
contents of The Cavalier include five
other serials. a complete novel, based
on a bathing murder mystery, and
eleven short stories. Conspicuous
among the names of other authors are
Eden Phillpotts, S. Carleton, Stephen
Chalmers, Theodore Roberts, James
Francis Dwyer, and Thomas R.
Ybarra.

Edgar Allen Poe made up the recipe
about them That is-the ordinary
run of Hawkshaw and Sherlock
Holmes detective stories. But we ad-
wise our readers to try the series on
the Psychologist detective" now run
ming in Hampton's Magazine If they
want something really new in the
criminal-catching line. Edwin Balmer
and VIM. 3. MacHarg have hit upon
the novel idea of using as detective
material various devices found in
psychological laboratories - devices
which automatically detect emotion,
guilt, abnormality, etc. The way in
which the hero Of the series, a char
acter named Luther Trant, employs
these devices is vivid, entertaining
and stimulating. 1t is by far the
best lot of detective stories that has
come TO our attention in years.
