 The style is vigorous, the author not hesitating to criticise high officials in the government of the islands. yet he does not hold back praise for those who merit it. Especially severe is the author in condemning the administration of Gen cral Otis. whom he declares, was incom- petent both as a soldier and a governor. The work is one of great historical value, as it embraces the war with Spain,

MISS BILLY S DECISION "A SEQUEL TO MISS BILLY By Eleanor II. Porter. With frontispiece in full color. L. C. Page & Company, Boston.
 Everybody recalls Eleanor IT, Porter's charming story Of Miss Billy" and nothing could be more delightful news to the many admirers of this author than to hear that she had written a se- quel to that popular book.
 Miss Bllly's Decision comes in beau tiful. apparel and the contents of the book are equally beautiful, and form an interesting chapter in the life of this clever heroine.
 It is question just how many men fell in love with captivating Billy Nell son, but it is certain that she will have one more lover in every reader of Mrs. Porters new story-the most tantalizing love story in many a day.
 'To say of any story that it makes the readers heart feel warm and happy is to pay it praise of sorts. undoubtedly" |" and that's the very praise one gives Miss Billy's Decision"

to take it apart or to separate any of its clements from the whole, seems almost as cruel as ta mutilate violet In the at tempt to find the source of it's perfume. Suffice it then to say that it is the story of a woman. who, married to a faithless husband, forgives and attempts to forget until her entire nature undergoes a Yio- lent revolt. and finally she finds herself almost stranger to her husband, and her affections. which for years have cried out for sympathetic appreciation, are fixed upon avfther man. The incidents which lead up to this are tensely emo tional, and there is a big moral and eth ioal problem to be faced and solved
 It is in the handling of this problem that Miss Van Worst displays the full power of her artistry. She shows what a wonderful grasp she has upon human nature, and her actors, although they ar. people of real flesh and blood. solve the problem in a way which must be &C., cepted by all readers who want their hc- ton clean, pure and free from sordid touches

Eynon Failed to Deliver.

Another surprise was the rather easy
victory of Allan Lard over f. b. Eynon,
jr., none expecting that the Chevy Chase
player could win by a up and 3 score,
but Lard continued his brilliant game
which he started in the Bannockburn
tournament. when he captured the low
qualification score and registered SO s
twice for the first nine holes par for
which is 81. He jumped into the lead at
the start and was 4 up at the seventh.
This lead he retained until the end.
Eynons driving was not as good as
usual while his opponent never looked
better at the long game and was just
about good as usual in his putting
the weather conditions not affecting him
as much as they did the others.
In the other match played. Wolcott
Tuckerman defeated John G. Davidson
This match was close one, but the
Chevy Chase player was always better
Davidson still being in the slump which
has been with him for the past month
He came to life Occasionally and made
several holes in par, but he never threat
ened. Tuckerman was much the better
and ended the match on the seventeenth
green. > up and 1 to play.
