 Candles in the Wind" by Maud Diver.
 Crhe John Lane Co.)
 Although Candles in the Wind" Is quite complete in itself, those who have read this authors previous books, name ly Captain Desmond, V. G." and "The Great Amulet" reviewed in this newspa- per some time ago, will possibly get more pleasure In the reading from tho fact that several of the people In Candles in the Wind' have appeared in the two books above mentioned.
 '"The light of every soul burns upward, but most of them are candles in the wind. Let us allow for atmospheric dis turbances.
 Mrs. Diver takes those words from the writings of the distinguished novelist George Meredith, as the motive for her latest novel, the third of her splendid triology, the background of which is the East Indian frontier where the men and
  traits of loyalty to country and faithful ness to the duty that is nearest.
 The virile interest of this story deals with the English man and woman in India, sent there to do certain work at small or large pay, 1t doesn't make any difference-they do the work, says Mrs. Diver. Ever on the job, ever working for home and country, never mind the pay or who gets the credit.
 The heart interest which usually de- lights most of us, those who thrill, so to. say, over best sellers, things of that sort, Is admirably handled by Mrs. Diver and particularly peculiary depicted in that 1t deals with an extraordinary situation in the love game, to say the least. A young engineer working hard for months up in the wilds of India applies for and secures a leave of absence upon which to take a vacation, down among people of his kind, where there was some life; something going on. The young engineer found something going on all right enough; more than he bargained or cared for-but twas ever thus At a dance, few evenings after his arrival in tho settlement, the young engineer falls deep- ly in love with charming, delightful young woman, whose name he doesn't know but with whom-not her name | he has danced some considerable It later turns out-and that very auickly-that | this charming young female was the wife of half-caste doctor at this Eng | fish station in India; that she had mar | ried this half-caste in England without knowing of his strata in Indian or Eng

POSTAL SAVINGS
 BANK IS ABUSED

London, January 15-tSpecial.) )-The postmaster-generals attention has been called to the glaring instances of misuse to which the Postoffice Savings bank is being put, and which are costing the gov- ernment hundreds of dollars.
 A specific case of abuse is that of a school boy who deposited a shilling (25 cents) and drew it out again in six sums of two pence each.
 Each transaction costs the bank 10 cents, made up partly of the commission which the Savings Bank Department has to pay the postoffice for the ssrvicss of its stan, partly of postage and partly of administration costs Thur the school boy with his 2b cents deposit and six with drawals had seven transactions which cost the savinEp bank 1n eenfs ee~A ~

 '"The First and Last Thing: Confession
 of Faith and Rule of Life" by H. G.
 Wells. co. P. Putnams' Sons.)
 Recently I set myself to put down what I believe" says MT. H. G. Wells, the distinguished novelist and thinker of England, the author of many books, a lecturer on divers subjects. ''I did this with no idea of making a book, but at the suggestion of friend and to interest a number of friends with whom I was associated. We were all, we found, ex- tremely uncertain in our outlook upon life, about our religious feelings and in our ideas of right and wrong. And yet we reckoned ourselves people of the edu- cated class and some of us talk and lec- ture and write with considerable conf- dence. We thought it would be of very great interest to ourselves and each other if we made some sort of frank mutual confession We arranged to hold se ries of meetings in which first one and then another explained the faith, so far as he understood it, that wss in him.
 we astonished ourselves and our hear CTS by the irregular and fragmentary na- ture of the creeds we produced, clotted at one point, inconsecutive at another. inconsistent and unconvincing to a quite unexpected degree. It would not be diff ficult to caricature one of those meetings; the lecturer foundering about Fora my own part grew so interested in planning my lecture. The meeting got only few fragments of what had to say and made what 1t could of them And after that was over l let myself loose from limits of time and length altogether and have expanded these memoranda Into book.
 Tt is as it stands now the frank con- fession of what one man of the early Twentieth century has found in life and himself, confession just as frank as the limitations of his character permit Is his metaphysics, his religion his moral standards, his uncertainties and the expe- dients with which he has met them. ''One thing claim, I have got my be- liefs and theories out of my life and not fitted them to it's circumstances. As often as not, have learned good by the methods of difference. by the taste of the alternative. I tell this faith as l hold 1 1t and I sketch out the principles by which I am generally trying to direct my l life at the present time. because 1t inter ] ests me to do so and think 1t may h. terest Q certain nun,oer cf similarly con- stituted people am not teaching.
