Naturally the lawyer was the Oracle, the Referee and the Court of Appeals.
 "The whole law he began as he punched a big log of wood in the fire place. that sent up little curly blue smoke in the great brick chimney, can be summed up in one sentence, namely;
 s'Every citizen of adult years has the right to do as he pleases-SO LONG AS THE EQUAL RIGHTS OF HIS NEIGH BOR."

has demonstrated this fact on several oc- casions and he bids for public favor once more in a novel called "The Red Button. :"
 There have been many mystery stories published within the last few years. and
 "The Red Button is also mystery story. but it may safely be said that MT Irwin Is the first of the great number of writers of fiction of this class to make his chief character-his leading detective "a woman But. as we said before, NIT. Irwin does things differently, and in Ros- allie LaGrange. as she is known from her early days as q medium, he has real creation.

Rosalie is extraordinarily mag notic She may be described as one of n9ture's noble women. a rough diamond which you will like none the less for it's roughness.
 Novelty or character and intimacy of expression add much 10 the pleasure the reader derives from this story, and the author tells his tale so naturally and with such detail that one has the feeling all the time that this crime and it's conse- quence may all have been part of life in the next block down the street. Tn his choice. description and disposal of people, Mf Irwin has indeed been happy. 1t is n story without villain. despite the fact tlat it is a murder story, for the only un- pleasant character in the cast is Captain Hanska, the man who is killed. and as the death occurs off stage in the very begin ming of the story. 1t so happens that the reader does not encounuter the false gam bling captain a single time in person. On tho contrary, he is thrown with very pleasant group of people, most Of them ordinary in position and attachments. but s;iil entertaining and vastly amusing. As to the plot, Mir Irwin has been original as he is in characterzation: but his real stroke of genius displays itself in .he unusualness Of the solution. This is what makes "The Red Button rise far above the ordinary level of mystery nov els and gives it a ylrility which will whet the appetite of the most blase reader and make him acknowledge that there IS, after all something new in the world of ic- tion.
 The story is written both simply and gra phicaliy with lively touch that ripens into actual humor and at all times yields Ian animated page.

Stubborn old Peter Grimm, with two ideals close to his heart-the perpetua- tion of the business of raising flowers, which has been in the family for genera tions, and the happiness of his sweet and iiower-like young niece-thinks that he has achieved his dearest wish when he is able to give both the business and the hand of his niece 10 a favorite nephew. And in a glow Of happiness he dies; he dies. but does not depart. The nephew is unworthy, the girl who is pledged to him is unhappy, and Peter Grimm, re- maining in the haunts of his lifetime, unseen, but seeing, learns at last the most unwelcome truth. How the every day life goes on about the helpless, plead- Ing figure of the old man, who is a part of it. and yet shut off by an impasson- able barrier; and how In the end he does bridge the eiiasm between the living and the dead, makes q i1auntingly powerful play and hauntingly powerful book
