mantle sense. until these two particular
lovers quickerled it into life. 1t had had

Importance were present, the great hall

This was complex figure, in which the
young men and women marched, or ran,
in a carefully drilled coordination. In

romance was sordid, and involved him
wretchedly, and, as it proved. needlessly,
in a responsibility from which he should
have been free. In working out this eX-
ceptional story Miss Sinclair writes with
the fineness Of discrimination and the
sureness of stroke that made her "D-
vine Fire" an immediate favorite a few
years ago. This is story of London

Which is better, to wait long time
until circumstances permit an elabo-
rate wedding and then to try to main
tain an establishment in keeping with
the matrimonial send-off, or to marry
at once on the means at hand ana
thereafter to live strictly within one
income? The young people OF whom
this story is written-it is scarcely
novel, but rather a keenly interesting
treatise dealing with actual person
alities-decided on the latter course
and, as 1t proves. chose wisely. The
tale tells how they elected the simple
wedding and the simple life, how they
went to live In a cottage and did their
own work. and kept their expenses
down to a reasonable point, and put
their friends to the test or real inter
est and ultimately found their greater
happiness while others who tackled
matrimony" on a more ambitious scale
had much to regret.

THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE. By
Mary Roberts Rinehart, author of

trated by NJ Leone Bracker. Indian
apolis: Bobbs-Merrill Company.
The elderly keeper Of boarding
house in the flood district of Ale
gheny City tells this story concern
ing a drama in which she was an
actor. Did Jennie Brice merely dis
appear because she was tired Of her
unsatisfactory husband, or was she
murdered? A chain of circumstances
pointed unvarying1y to the latter as
sumption, and the missing woman's
husband was arrested. Mrs. Rinehart
has in this short, but we'll balanced
story told one of her usually fascina-
ting tales of crime and it's disclosure,
selecting an unusual motive and pre-
senting some odd characters. Just
why the publishers. however, should
have chosen for an outside cover de-
sign the picture of a handsome young
woman descending staircase into a
flooded hall is a mystery that the story
itself does not clear. The picture is
calculated to arrest attention, but 1t
has unfortunately nothing to do with
the tale itself.

In all of this work of today We look for
the appreciation of the beauty of simple
things, the striving after big truths, the
fresh outlook toward what is easily un-
noticed. There are many things whose
beauty is obvious; the artists business
is to discover beauty. One always longs
to find in every exhibition, not only the
things that one has often seen and de-
lights in recognizing as good hkenesses of
familiar friends and places, but the new
light, the unobseryed color, the things
one has passed perhaps hundred times
and failed to see. Everything cannot be
said; enough has surely here been touch
ed upon to make every one wish to go
and enjoy for themselves this very inter-
esting exhibition.
