He turned a little eagerly in his easy

Julien hesitated. His eyes sought his
companions face. She was seated at the
small writing table drawn up close to his
side, her head resting upon her left hand,
the pen in her right fingers sketching idle
figures at the bottom of the sheet which
she had Just written. She was wearing
a dress Of strange-colored muslin. a shade
between gray and silver. but from under

we're turquoises about her neck. Her

TWO THOUSAND POINTS FOR

D. MacGregor. author OF Pushing

OF recent years the advertising OF va

subject Of careful study by commercial
leaders. The financial institutions have
been slow to recognize the value OF

Is now being conveyed that IL Ia pos

graphically and convincingly set forth
in this well conceived and admirably
presented little volume, the author or

demic propositions, but gives actual IL

y NEWS AND NOTES OF ART AND ARTISTS y

Industrial organizations with all their
technical perfection of method and infuse
into them. and into the individual units
that compose them, some measure of that
critical and refining influence which was
in the past supplied by the old apprentice
system, by means of which single artis-
tic individuality continued to expand and
develop far beyond the limits of the life
of a single Individual 1t is idle to at
tempt this by means of separate clois-
tered communities which ape the super
seeded methods and processes Of the past.
1t must be accomplished by enlisting in
the movement the participation and CO.
operation Of the active leaders In the pres
ent methods Of production Of the various
crafts, however far removed from artistic
inspiration their methods and ambitions
may seem to be.
Therefore, in the formation Of what may
happily prove to be the nucleus of a
great national school of industrial art
there are three essential elements which
must be drawn upon: First, the active
and successful workers in the various
crafts: second, the great body of opera
tives who today are acquiring in mark
ed degree technical skill Of a certain
kind. but whose efforts in this direction
are developing machinelike qualities at
the expense OF all the latent possibilities
Of individual artistic expression. and
third. a body of practicing artists and
others whose interest in this all-im-
portant subject Is sufficient to cause them
to add to whatever artistic training they
already possess a sufficiently detailed
knowledge of the traditions, linita-
tons, materials and processes of some
one or more of those crafts which

tinues thus:
THE advantages of having such a

in these circumstances she readily agrees
to marry the unseen son OF social
climber whose acquaintance she has

duce her to break her promise, for is 1t
not the family motto never to violate a

motto, she lets herself fall head over

saved from the tragedy Of a mistaken

is brightly and divertingly told, even
though 1t does not strongly appeal to the
sense of probability.

The revolution seems pretty we'll ad-
vanced. so advanced that about the ONLY
function that the church has left is to
join it. The plan to institute something,
already under way. is altogether hope
less However. this author makes very
spirited and whole-hearted effort to en-
parallel to social advance. The volume
is a social study. thorough, specific and
comprehensive. Before the revelation of
it's facts the church is brought to a stand
in definition of its plain powers and re-
sponsibilities. A new religion is set in
terms of the truth that man may not
live to himself alone. True Specialization,
a real altruism. Is one OF its supreme
tests 1t seems a pity that so much of
eloquence. and argument, and plea must
needs go into church for its rehabili-
tation. 1t suggests that good folks are
harder to reform than bad ones, and
wakens the wish that the fire Of these
pages were kindled nearer to the ground.
MY MEMOIRS. BY Marguerite Stein

liam Ballantyne & Sons
Many persons will recall the trial
few years ago Of Nine. Steinheil, friend
and 'intime'' of Felix Faure. President
of France. Nine. Steinheil was charged
with the murder of her mother and hus-
band and dark hints were given cur
rency by which she was connected with
the sudden death of President Faure
himself. The Steinheil case became. in
it's day, cause celebre'' second only in
interest to the Dreyfus case, the abso-
lutte failure-or refusal-of the police de-
partInent Of Paris to bring the murderer
or murderers to justice, and the futile eff
forts of the Partisan police and detec-
tives to bring about the conviction of
Nine. Steinheil giving the case world
wide nOtoriety.
In her memoirs Nine. Steinheil has
written a story that for weird mystery,
revelations Of inhuman cruelty and ele-
mental tragedy has not been surpassed
with narrative of her girlhoOd, telling
with pathetic fidelity of the altogether
lovely relations between herself, her
father and her mother. Her marriage to
