Rather vague in the delineations Of its
backgrounds-Indi England and India

new record for the protraction Of a mis-
understanding between a man and a
woman destined for each other from the
first, loving each other beyond all else in
the world and suffering all the anguish
that people thus situated invariably ex-
perience in fiction, since that fate is the
very reason OF their invention by the
author or course, in real life the bar
rier would be inevitably broken down In
the hour OF its erection, but I'm that case
there would be no story. The present
one has been elaborately and somewhat
labortously invented. but II has little ar
tistic merit. The India It depicts is the
now we'll established convention Of
Anglo-Indian flction-Cliche, not orig

frontier fort besieged by rebels and in
the later ones Of social life at Simla and
elsewhere. the froth with which Kip

minor personages-especially the women

ian Society" Is no longer n field that
must be worked at first hand by the
novelist. Still. the mixture Of It all is
adroit. the main situation is ingeniously
made intense" and the incidents that

Hector II. Munro fsakD. limo, pp. 5ol.
John Lane.

Hector II. Munro CsakD. limo, pp SOL
John Lane.
Originally written for various English
periodicals.. these irresponsible, uncom-
monty clever sketches are amusing
enough to stand the test OF consecutive
reading. Their scene Is mostly the Eng
lish worl OF society, In city and coun-
try, nt London restaurants and in the
hunting field. and occasionally abroad
There is an occasional touch OF parody
of the fiction that has made this class
and its doings familiar the world over.
and here and there flick OF satire Of
the realities, but, on the whole, Mr.
Munro seeks TO entertain with sheer
nonsense, and he succeeds, In the bits OF
plot he invents and the dialogue in
which he develops them. A bit nippant
here. slightly cynical elsewhere, he is al
ways in good taste and in the best OF
humor with his characters and their
doings. and-he knows exactly when TO
stop. Hence the readers unimpaired ap-
petite for more. The tale Of "Esme," in
which figure two ladies alone in the
hunting field at nightfall an escaped
hyena and a gypsy child. deserves its
place OF honor at the beginning OF the
book; there is most gratifying fun In the
narrative OF the composition Of a Dur
bar recessional. the tragedy of res
taurant music and the "canetons n Ia
mode d'Ambleve" might as well be told
OF New York as of London, but why
commend special favorites where all is
good? Mr.. Munro is an entertainer
whom many will thank for his happy
humor.

WE AND OUR CHILDREN BY Woods
Hutchinson, A. NJ. NJ. d. 12mo PIP. Y,
81. Doubleday, Page & Co.

Dr. Hutchinson needs no introduction
He is one of the most earnest and at the
same time one of the most reasonable
and entertaining popularizers Of the art
and science of sane, healthful living
His method is not one of portentous
"don'ts," but of simple understandable
dos" for, after all. given a good start,
the average man and woman find 1t none
too difficult task to keep healthy:
If we cheerfully and actively do those
things which make for health and ef-
ficiency. and which for the most part are
attractive and agreeable TO our natural in
suncts ana unspoiled tastes-such as play
In the open air, three or four square meals
a day of real food, nine or ten hours Of
sleep, plenty Of fresh air and cool water,
both inside and out and, above all, a GER
tain amount OF regular and congenial work
this will of itself carry us safely past the
openings of all the forbidden paths, with
out ever needing to look at the don't and
must not signs with which IL has been
the custom TO border and fence in the path
Of right living.
The machinery of the human body and
its working and functions have been pre-
sented under many guises for the in
formation Of the layman. Or. Hutchin-
son chooses in the present volume the
simile OF the automobile changing the
figure, howevc" from 81 - TO time as
necessity requires. T.Ij he explains
the brain and the nc~ Gus system as our
telephone eXchau and its w.res. Il.
whatever thr comparison. he is invari-
ably clear. He refrains f.om anatomical
and physiological details that might be
confusing and are not of immediate i'm
portance TO his main topic-that of the
preservation by the intelligent layman
of his own health-and throughout he
communicates to his readers a deep re-
spect for the beauty OF the machine
which we inhabit and use and can Sc
easily avoid abusing
This deep respect is expressed even
more impressivey in the chapters DR..
Hutchinson devotes to the baby in "We
and Our Children" These pages are, in
deed, a potent argument. against race
suicide, they are so filed with the sense
of poetry and appeal of helpless human
life at the threshold. "The child has

For the upper class Filipinos General
Funston expresses a genuine liking and
respect. They are reserved. yet rather
courteous and hospitable, he says, but
have little sense of humor, and are
averse TO horse play" The rough.
familiar ways of our soldiery did not ap-
peal TO them, he explains somewhat
superfluously. but their relations with
the officers of the garrisons were often
quite cordial Beyond this. however, he
does not venture upon the subject Of
Filipino social life or culture, nor does
he indulge in descriptions Of the land
scape. though he gives sufficient atten-
tion to the ground" fought over in his
engagements. Beyond his words in JUS
tice 10 Aguinaldo and a tribute to Max
limo Gomez, who, we learn, looked ex-
actly like his pictures, made so famil-
lar 10 us at the time, he INDUCES in no
pen portraits, but ne heartily celebrates
the bravery, efficiency and good humor
of our officers and men The bulk Of the
narrative Of his Philippine experiences is
given 10 the later guerilla warfare; The
story Of the capture Of Aguinaldo closes
