1.-THE Imprdudence of Prue," by Sophie
Fisher, is a new book from the press OF
the Boobs-Merrill Company. 1t is a
bright and witty book. The style is
bright and refreshing, sometimes pre-
tily alliteratiVe, and it's easy illusions
to Mr.. Pope, Mr.. Congreve and Mr..
Handel add to the glamour of historic
illusion, and impart unusual literary
flavor. The story is first of all, how
ever, a story, with no long descriptions;
instead mere touches of color here and
there, SO that the action is at no point
weighed down either by scenery or his
toric fact. Moving in and out of the
group formed by the main characters
are lackeys, chairmen, waiting women,
MERGERS, hair dressers, and all the
retinue of rank and fashion of the day.
The author is a conscientious workman
and one result of her conscientiousnesS
is the air of plausibility and candor
which she has impaired to her work.
The dialogue is unusually natural, and
as much of it is spoken by Prue's clever
tongue, it is very diverting. Here is a
real prize in light romance. The story
is a fling, a lark, it is packed full Cf
surprises, it is dainty and charming and
zestful. One lays it down with a feel
ing of enthusiasm for its new author.
John U. Higinbotham, author, ora
tor, traveller, lecturer and business
believes that three weeks on the 10Th
er side is long enough for the aver
age man to stay abroad at any one
time. Allowing two weeks to go and
come and twenty-one days on land,
Mr.. Higinbotham has shown in pre-
vious books how to get first class
glimpse of Europe in three weeks and
also how to thoroughly explore Hol-
land and Belgium in the same length
of time. His latest book is '9Three
| Weeks in the British Isles" published
by the Reilly Britton Co., and by the
way, Mr.. Higinbotham usd the words
Three Weeks" in connection with his
| books long before Eleanor Glynn made
Three Weeks another story. He
travels with a seeing eye hearing ear
and a retentive mind and when he
takes his pen in hand to record the
| incidents of his trip the result is mos
| entertaining. AS Wilbur D. Nesbit has
seen fit to remark, Mr.. BaedeckeT
would do well to engage Mr. Higin-
! botham to inject some human-interesi
1 into his volumes" Mr.. Higinbothan
] puts it this way. It is the fashion to

smile at the idea of seeing anything in
a foreign country in a shorter time
than three months. As matter of
fact, more can be sen abroad in three
weeks than can be seen at home in an
entire summer. Distances are short
er between noteworthy objects. The
unusual grips the attention at every
turn. Trains, hotels and guides are
all arranged to give you the most in
the shortest time"

The Professors Mystery is a new
book by Wells Hastings and Brian
Hooker, published by the Bobbs-Merriu
Company, indianapolis.
Love and mystery about equally di-
vide these pages, or perhaps it would
be more accurate to say that this is a
mystery story colored by love. Strange
and inexpIicable doings are offered to
the readers attention from the begin
ming, but as the two persons most con-
cerned are a young man and a young
woman, and as their happiness depends
ultimately ON the solution of these
| events, the point of view is steadily ro-
| mantle. Excellent character drawing
unusually good workmanship and
vivid style combine to lift the story into
| a class above that of the ordinary mys-
terry tale. The ingenuity of its mys-
ing is remarkable. Interest is so stead
lily maintained that there are no gaps
in the readers absorption. The trail of
! interest is unbroken, and though the
| solution seems often tantalizingly
near, yet always until the very close 1t
escapes. AS the street fakir says, Now
you see it, and now you don't" APP
parently right within ones fingers, it
slips again. The whole tone of the
story is delightful.

Gustav FTenssen is the first example of

course, there are and have been min

but they wrote them because they were

other hand, declares that he owes his
knowledge of people to his experiences
as q preacher. That he was not at all
an ordinary pastor is evident from sew
eral things, and he does not hesitate III

KENYON PAYING DEBTS,

With the utmost pleasure the Regis
ter and Leader makes announcement
that Senator Kenyon will support TAFT
for re- nomination in 1912. Kenyon
could not do otherwise considering the
personal obligation TO Tai, for his APP
pointment as trust buster. Thus in
directly President Taft made Kenyon
senator. for merely as an attorney for
the Illinois Central railroad he could
never have commanded legislative sup
port for Delivers seat. But Kenyon
announcement is not decisive. Kenyon
will be reasonably busy, himself. in
1912. He can be for Taft in payment
Of personal obligation while Iowa re-
publicans do the other thing. This is
not to predict that this thing will hap
pen for serious opposition to Taft may
not develop but it is reasonably clear
that the senator's announcement at this
time is more Of a personal declara-
ton than the bugle call of new lead
ership.
