tracted much interest at the State Fair
and this year, owing to the spreading
desire for good roads, 1t will attract
far more attention. The visitors at the
Fair last year gathered round the rock
crushers and along the stretch of road
way under construction and the in
terest shown was remarked upon by
officials from all over the country. 1t is
said that the Michigan State Fair
alone carries on this class of work
and it is credited the country over
with its enterprise. 1t is thought that
with reasonable weather a consider
ably greater stretch of road will be
completed this year than last, owing
to the fact that many additional firms
building road machinery have taken
an interest in the matter and promised
assistance. Right outside the Fair
grounds the visitors will see samples
OF the Wayne County concrete roads
which are attracting road supervis-
ors and road builders from all over
the country to Detroit and Wayne
County as these roads are considered
remarkable in many ways and most
economical of all roads to build.

THE HOLLOW OF HER HAND" By George Barr Mecutcheon. Illustra-
 lions by A. l. Keller. Dodd, Meade 6
 Company, New York.
 To say that The Hollow of Her Hand" George Barr Mccutcheon's latest novel is better than his popular "Graustark." ," is praising 1t to the very highest degree for no cleverer and more interesting story has appeared upon the literary hor- izon in years past than "Graustar<.' After the reader has finished The Hol- low of Her Hand he carries with him many musings and meditations as to the story-a fact which always shows that there Is food for thought In the writers work and something more than a mere story Ito pass the time away"
 Never before has Mir. McCutcheon cre- ated as many varied types in one book as he has done in '~rhe Hollow of Her Hand''
 Many of Mir. McCutcheon's admirers followed the story when 1t was running In serial form, but quite as many are bromidic enough to say that they never read serials and have waited for it to appear in book form, and, by the way. 1t Is very beautifully done and pleasing to the eye.
 The principal character in Mir. Me- cutcheon's story is Sara wrandall. who holds in ''The Hollow of Her Handr the entire snobbish family of Wrandalls, into which she has married.
 Also she holds within her grasp a very beautiful and attractive girl. who Is the murderess of her (sara's) husband and whom she protects.
 Sara wrandali has planned wicked revenge upon the Wrandall family who persecuted her unmercifully in her young wifehood. having had their hearts set upon her marriage with a younger broth CT, Leslie Wrandall
 Sara's strange nature reveals itself in the denouement, and after contributing a thrilling aspect to the plot she sinks back into her shrould of mystery and leaves the rest to take care of itself
 Sara evolutes Into a splendid woman hood through her many trials and trib- ulatlons. and is surrounded by many in- teresting characters In the book. includ- ing Hetty Castleton, the young artist Booth. and all of the Wrandall family, who seem like familiar friends of the present day kind. wealthy, aimless and altogether worthless, except as far as their money goes.
 ''The Hollow of Her Hand" has the master touch of Mir. McCutcheon's art and no more charming book has been published this season.

1.-THE LADY Docr
By Caroline Lockhart. Illustrations l
 Gayle Hoskins J. B. Lippincott & Cor

By Caroline Lockhart Illustrations by
 Gayle Hoskins. J. B. Dippincott & Com
 pany. Philadelphia.
 one thing may be truthfully said of Caroline Lockharts story, "The Lady Doc" and that is, 1t is certainly out of the beaten path.
 It deals with type Of woman, the path not more than once anyway during a lifetime for a more interruptions un- daunted. daring woman it has seldom been the fate of people to meet.
 The story tells of this woman who has left town in the far west under a cloud, due to professional mistake.
 This, of course, is "The Lady Doc" who casts her life and fortunes among the kind, whole-souled, gentle people of a little village who have never known strife and worldliness and whose inno- cence lends itself to the schemes and unprincipled machinations of the woman in question.
 Being the only doctor within six miles of the village, "The Lady Doc'' has every thing to her own liking. and with a very slight Knowledge of medicine she dives In and without considering her patients or anybody else except herself and her ann bitions, she practices upon them and takes mean advantage of the situation.
 There is nothing In all the remarkable chapters of the book that is entirely in- credible. for the village people are so kind and so unsuspecting that the read CTS can easily imagine how they would be taken in by woman as mercenary and scheming as ''The Lady Doc"
 At least the book is different and is so out of the general run of stories written today that it is quite unique in its makeup.
