 on those who argue that mystery stories
 should not concern themselves with the problems of love.
 Mrs Rinehart does things in different

asnE MAGIC OF DRESS.

SHE MAGIC OF DRESS, Rv Grace Margaret Gould, Illustrated by F. NJ A SIeinmetz. Doubleday. Page & Co.,, New York.
 There is scarcely a woman m America who will not be interested in the cleverly written book, The Magic of Dress, Dy Grace Margaret Could.
 It involves q subject with which wom- on are more concerned than nearly all the others put together, and when this ques=
 ton is discussed brightly easily and
 pleasantly, as Miss Could has done in her
 book, then there is no reason why It should not prove best seller from the start
 Miss Gonld is never didactic or prosaic,
 but proffers her suggestions concerning
 the art of dressing with a fund of good,
 sound common seDae. interpersed with
 nuggets of sartoria wisdom that make her most readable from beginning to end.
 There are women who have natural taient-a "knack," as 1t Here-for dress.
 ing well, choosing the right colors, the most becoming gowns the most enchant-
 ing bonnets and to these, Miss Gould
 will prove happy factor, her good taste
 and experience in matters sartorial CO.,
 inciding with theirs and to those feminine
 minds less addicted to the happy fac
 ulty" Of getting themselves up" in the best style, she will prove a boon-a bless ing.
 Miss Gould has been guide, counsellor and friend to hosts of women and her talss on dress are counted most valua- ble by those who know.
 Chapters on shopping in Paris as well as in America, on the American Shops themselves. and American Fashions are put together in a most readable manner and enhance the value of "The Magic If Dress" to considerable degree.

the rest, and there is no way to fix
the count, as the judges will be men
whose decision will be unquestioned
when the count is made. 1t is well to
bear in mind the fact that sometimes
prize is won by only few votes, and
every additional subscription turned in
strengthens your chance of winning
the particular prize which you desire
above all others.
The result will be known late Satur-
day night or as soon after 8 o'clock as
the judges have had sufficient time to
count the votes. Once more we say:
Be not weary in well doing, and make
every moment count in securing sub
scriptions between now and Saturday
night, for these last few subscriptions
may bring to you the coveted prize.
