Admiral Evans's introduction to his
book says that when "a Sailors Log

In regard to his association with the

"The Beauty"
BY Mrs. Wilson Woodrow. The

BY Mrs. Wilson Woodrow. The
Bobbs Merrill Company. of Indianapo-
lis. $50.
The twosmain ideas exploited by Mrs.
Woodrow IN this book are the disgust
awakened in young and beautiful
woman's mind by the sycophancy of the
world around her on account of her
beauty and the position which she oc-
cupies as a rich mans Wife, and the
mental WEAKNESS which results from
her having every whim and fancy
grattied. without personal effort or
self-denial. @
But the author throws all her forces
into developing the plot on the side OF
|conventionality. Her heroine is a
young Southern girl of Iinnpoverished
though distinguished family. who is
married, of course. to the proverbial
New York millionaire.eand who, as she
retires to change her wedding gown
for her travelling costume, loses her
self in reverie over an artist cousin.
toward whom her mind fondly turns,
even in the first blush Of her bride
hood. 9s
Cut the heroine. fortunately for her.
self and for the reader of Mrs. Wood
rows novel, has somewhat more
strength of character than the aver
age woman who is the main figure of
to-days fiction. She has her period OF
rebellion and freedom. and then, prob
ably because her husband is sensible
in his day and generation, she decides
to accept the goods the gods have pro-
vided for her With an appreciatiye
grace.
The author displays much Insight
into character by her portrayal of the
therolne's husband and the man about
whom tho wife concerns herself, with
danger for her peace OF mind ana tho
happiness of her home. The two men
are marked contrasts and serve as eX-
.cellent foils in the character painting
of the story The author Is evidently
familiar With good society, and does
not find " all IIonso.o NirthIsh either.
which Is pleasant and DOUBTLESS also
