HONEsTY'S GARDEN. BY Paul Cres-

The claims Of the man Of forty-five or
thereabouts to place in romantic fiction
ether than that in the middle distance as
signed TO him Of late in this period OF
novels chiefly for the young are be-
ginning to receive considerable attention
in England. Mr.. II V Lucas has seen
the quieter, more deliberate possibilities
Of the years OF maturity and SPUN some
leisurely tales around them. and now
Mr.. Creswicke enters the field with an
attractive tale of a quiet neighborhood-
HOnesty's garden adjoins that Of the
literary worker who is the hero An
in the arrogant phrase of youth, "on the
shelf at forty-five, is content with his
placid, modestly successful bachelor
life and interests htmseIf-from the
middle distance-in Honesty's garden
and also in the youth who stops under
her window every morning for a word
Of greeting on his way TO the City
Then fortune gives a sudden turn to
her apparently static wheel. Honesty's
mother loses her small competence; the
girl begins to try to earn a livelihood
for them both. AS neighbor to man OF
letters, she naturally takes to type
writing, but much copy" flows from
his pen ard many things happen before
the conclusion is reached. a pleasant
story, ingeniously invented and pleas

The winter term closed athe Lamson Business college last Friday and the spring and summer term will open to- morrow morning and continue all sum mer.
 The winter term has been the most successful in the history of the Lam son Business college. The school was filled at the beginning Of the term and no more advertising was done, as more students could not be accommodated until some of those in attendance fin ished.
 During the winter term five teach CTS were employed. The management Of the school employed an expert ac- countant to take charge of the busi- ness practice offices. and a special teacher Of English for the classes in business English and letter writing.
 The management has made arrange rnent for nearly 15 per cent more floor space next year. and an energetic ad- vertisinS campaign for the coming school Year has already been opened.
