mothers warning used to run. The sub
stance Of this trusm is the theme Of Mr..
Bartlett's vigorous northern story where
in the hero works like Hercules to make
man of what is much less than this.
The impulse toward this impossible task
is curious devotion to the woman who
loves the weakling.
So frequently as almost to make 1t the
rule. a woman between two men-one
choose the wastrel rather than the man.
This fact is the secondary theme of the
story.
The broadly human qualities Of these
characters, qualities uncommonly well ap-
pretended and gathered up into human
beings, might place this romance any
where. The special stamp of personality
and action. the robust Drawn and sinew

pact. roughly picturesque, rudely human

writer's. who promptly turned themselves
loose upon it, creating vast areas Of at

vorted like fireworks. Mr.. Bartlett be-
longs to a soberer period of restored bal
ances. and it Is just this subordinatfon
of place to action. coupled with uncom-
mon skill in making human beings, that
gives this adventure its unquestionably
high rank.

After that every one goes crazy, and the
author seems to be most keenly enjoying

THE ADJUSTMENT. BY Marguerite
Bryant, author Of Anne kempburn,
Truth Seeker" etc. New York: Duff
field G. Co.
The two men who move in the largest
circles in this tale of English life con-
ceive themselves to have offended I'M
pardonably against society and proceed
to hide. One Of them does so from
sense of shame. His guilt Is personal
rather than 1t is legal, and he leaves his
wife and loses himself from her ken for
many years-until his daughter grows into
womanhood and falls in love with a man
whom he has most grievously wronged.
This man has himself become a recluse
through a sense of guilt. but he has paid
his penalty, a matter Of five years i'm
prisonment for forgery. and on release
has hidden himself in a secluded castle
on the Yorkshire coast, ashamed to face
the world. The adjustment to which the
title refers is effected by the young
| woman, through whose good offices at
straight. There is some convincing work
here. The character Of Rudolph Mas
sendon. eccentric, whimsical. selfish.
cowardly. and yet at all times interesting
and at heart substantially good, is drawn
with delightful clearness and power. The
story presents a striking indictment Of
society for its cruelty toward those who

acter, one that permits a serious voca-
ton. and an unwelcome one at that. to
be thrust upon it through the fervor of
maternal prayers, one that permits the
wrong girl to marry him. This tangle of
mistakes, springing out Of a sunny and
compliant nature. the author works out

admirable parts supplements and sharp

1t Is hard to see why one should
sharpen the tools of realism, or any other
tools for that matter. on an utterly dull
and pointless subject. If a writer in
tends to let invention play. he may select
his subject pretty much at will. If. on
the other hand. he is bred to realism of
the unbending sort, he should one would
think. as mere matter of grace to the
reader. pick with circumspection. A dull
little town. remarkable only for it's dull
ness. is no theme for a confirmed realist,
marked by the pure realist's essential
lack of humor. By the time the general
stupidity Of this hamlet is separated into
it's thousands of little stupidities and each
of these Is combed out in New England

Hardly a story this. more a character
study at full length. The author has
chosen for his central figure a singular
man OF little wit but great heart. almost
a simpleton. a giant in strength and a
veritabie Galahad OF goodness. This was
the Knight in DENIM who would buy
Nebraska farms at she owners figures

WHY THE WORLD LAUGHS. By
Charles Johnston. Illustrated. New
York: Harper & Brothers.
The author has dissected the humor of
all nations and all ages. and the result Of
his work seems to prove that the geneal-
ogy of the average joke may be traced as
far back as to make prehistoric man a
modern fellow, and the sphinx parvenu.
Eve. Moses. Buddha and Solomon have
handed down some jest or mirthful story
to the present vaudeville circuit; Pharaoh
had his big stick. Julius Caesar was "a
dry dog" a doctor of five centuries past
had his grim quip about hiding his face
when he passed the cemetery because OF
the patients he had sent there. In an
cient Bagdad a man implored his barber
to cease from too much speaking" and
spicy little japanese woman at the
court of a mikado who reigned almost a
thousand years age wrote a series OF
"Pillow Sketches which might serve as
copy for lady correspondents of today.
Mr.. Johnston enthusiastically reminds us
that the smile is as old as the tears and
that no race or era enjoys a trust mo-
nopoly of the worlds wit and humor.

Motion pictures and post cards have

Gateway Of the Desert "sun and sky and

the author his privilege of visit Timgad
and his ability to picture it, in such vivid
words. 1T has passed twelve centuries
in a great silence. Its ruined temples
and baths have been the haunt Of the
panther and the jackal. No neighboring
town despoiled its stones or ground its
marble to make mortar. It's columns

for the most part leveled with. the

for the most part being chiefly to be
found in the lands wherein 1t was pro-
duced. In both China and Japan the
paintings of the masters are appreciated
at their full value and jealousy guarded.
Mr.. Freer has been fortunate in winning
the cooperation of both the Chinese and
Japanese. and spending much time among
them, and sparing no pains, he has Sc
cured many rare and valuable specimens.
Among the Chinese paintings TO be shown
will be one of an eagle standing upon a
cliff. done in ink on silk. by Pien Luan.
whose most famous work was executed
between the years US and 800 AID. He
was specially celebrated for bird painting.
Another kakemono is by Ching HaO. who

with temple buildings, animals and figures
of Lohans and other followers of Buddha.
A third kakemonO is by 'Chao Chang, who
lived little later. and was renowned for
flower and bird painting.
In addition to these there will be scroll
paintings exhibited in eleven low. glass
covered cases. One of these. by Ii Lung

but that is the only one known to be in
Europe. A very few genuine specimens
of his work are owned in Japan. His
technique was quite extraordinary, as was
also the simplicity of his design. Among
the other scroll paintings to be shown
are specimens of the work Of Yen Li-pen.

fury: of Ching Hao. who lived 200 years
later, and of celebrated artists Of the
Yuan dynasty, 126O-136S. One of these
scrolls is thirty-six feet long, a land

Some Persian and Indo-Persian illumi-

bronzes. small statuettes and mirrors, the

specimens from Persia, Mesopotamia,
