Mr. Fincks book is the first one deal

not appetizing, and when food is not
appetizing it lies in the stomach like a

To ascertain the best ways of raising
and preparing foods, the author has
travelled repeatedly in Europe, noting
the secrets of garden and cuisine in
France. England, Germany, Austria, and
Italy, the specialties of each country
being described. There is scathing
chapter of "Ungastromonomic' America,

THE WOMAN WITH EMPTY HANDS (Ths E,o-
luton Of Sufragette). New York-Dodd. Mead
Co.
The story is that of Southern woman
who has lived a carefully sheltered life
away from the petty cares OF existence.
The first years of her marriage follow
the same even tenor. Then comes her
tragedy-her husband and her only son
are stricken with scarlet fever. The
husband dies and the child ID left help
less invalid, who succumbs after two years
of constant, care on the part Of his
mother.
For the first time the bitterness of life
are borne in upon her. She goes out into
the city for the sake of being among peo-
pie At last fate throws her against
a suffragette. The later befriends her on
the street. and then asks her to become
a Voter" The woman replies with the
old arguments that a woman should have
enough to do caring for her family" The
enthusiast again says that. though her
family cares may be great, she could give
her money, her name and her interest
to the cause. Then the mockery Of the
thing comes to her, for she is a woman
with empty hands Her second meeting
with the suffragette makes her acceptance
Of the cause Her friend accepts moth
ing but the giving of her best, and SO
she plucks up her courage and marches
in the great procession. The process of
the change from individual feeling to the
deep understanding of ''sisterhood" Is
slow, but the enthusiasm Of the great
procession gets into her blood.
The final reason that makes her a suf-
fragette Is quite different, however, from
any OF these things. Her life always has

despots with all the calm holiness and
confidence Of a man at the head Of an
army; but unlike him, she Is always
victorious.
The little stories are quite different
from other stories of adventure, not only
because of the novel leading figure in
all of them, but they show some odd
corners of the earth, little known to
white men. 1t is clear that Miss Gregory
and Mr.. Gibbon really see these things Of
which he writes, otherwise local color
would not be so definite or vivid.
THE PRACTICE AND SCIENCE OF DRAWING:
By Harold Speed. Philadelphia. p. Lippin-
colt Company.
The author of 1.-The Practice and Sci
ence of Drawing" Harold Speed aims
at giving art students help OF practical
kind. They will not find short cuts to
success, nor will they be initiated into
any mysteries from which popular tricks
are evolved.
At this time principles and a clear I'M
Outstanding of what one wishes to do
are needed. There are no set traditions
as guides. for the student no longer ac-
cepts blindfold the style and traditions
of his master. The hope of the future is
that a deeper art. answering to the al
tered conditions of humanity, will result
of the present chaotic state of art.
Space is devoted to principles found at
the basis of the art of all nations, and
the executive side of the matter has not
been neglected. The art student will find
in Mr.. Speeds book much that is sug-
gestive and well worthy of study. The
work is thoroughly illustrated. and much
attention has been given to technical de-
tails. which are clearly discussed.

and Helen Redeemed became real gods.
For, with all the modernisms to be found
in the thoughts underlying his novels.
Mr.. Hewlett, as a man of letters. Is
pre-eminently classicist.
There are some beautiful chapters In

seer Of hidden things, who seeks realities
beneath appearances in the sense Of the
poet. There are chapters full Of the
mystic tales Of fairies, creeds, and Celtic
peopling Of the woods with spirit being
unreal, intangible, save to the eyes of
the poet-seer.
THE ADVENTURES OF MISS GREGORY: By
Perceval Gibbon. New Yoke. z. Putnam's
Sons.
The fine finish of dozen little stories
in this volume Is their chief charm,
although they are original and varied.
for Mr. Gibbon writes with equal facil-
ity OF Africa, Russia, Berlin, and other
countries and cities, and Miss Gregory
may always be relied upon to appear
at the opportune time to rescue anyone
in distress, man or woman.
These sudden appearances of the calm
grayhaired woman of fifty, who makes
no plans, but just joys along as the
spirit moves her. or where a con-
vehient carrier may take her, are a
bit startling, and add zest to her ad-
ventures. Most of the stories have ap-
peared in a periodical, and this accounts
for the frequent descriptions of the mid
dle-aged heroine, but that does not make
the tales less interesting. She invades
