it suffers in reputation and Is not fairly

near 14th and is at work on some por-
traits. One is of Maj. But. and was
started some time ago. The other is of

The adjective in this title is literally

view. 1t is also the point Of view Of a
Psychologist. physician. neurologist, scien-

familiar arguments Sir Almroth sets his
own, against suffrage. These are COW

their disability in intellectual force. and
by their disability in the matter of public
morality. Unmodified and unelab9r tel

MAGIC: A Fantastic Comedy. BY G. K.

MANS Sons.
That Mr.. Chesterton has gone in for the
drama is the only new thing set forth
by this little volume. That his drama
would be comedy was assumed. That it
would be fantastic was foreordained.
That it would carry name like Magic"

airy Identification marks. The magic here

THE STRANGER AT THE GATE: A
Story of Christmas. BY Mabel Os-
good Wright. author of THE Garden
or Commuters Wife," etc. Illus
trated by Herman c. Wall and
Bertha Stuart. New York: The Mac
milan Company.
To the general good will of Christmas
time, Mrs. Wright in this pleasing story,
intrusts the task of bringing understand
ing and reunion to a family that has be-
come much divided through the money
getting absorption of Emery Vance, the
head of the house. The story moves real
istically through the long and increasing
neglect OF the old father and mother
down in the country, and of the wife and
children UP in the big city house, until
situation of imminent and lasting dis
asters is created about Emery Vance. The
stranger" is love embodied, who when
heedlessly shut out. often knocks as a
stranger at the gates of understanding as
the only way of return. Like Kennedy
stranger in the House this stranger"
too, is the Christ spirit of love and pity
and compassion. This is the persuasive
influence under which Mrs. Wright de-
velops a good story Of Christmas time.
By Agar Labouchere Thorold, au-
thor of six Masters in Disillusion,"
etc. New York: G. =. Putnam's Sons.
In so far as this is possible, Mr. Agar
Thor old leaves the telling of Mr.. La
bouchere's story to Mr.. Labouchere him
self And no other plan could possibly
convey any adequate sense of the amaz-
ing personality of the man. Correspond
ence. parts of press writings and por-
tons of parliamentary speeches meet here
in demonstration of the iginal views
and striking methods of this brilliantly
versatile statesman. When Mr.. Thorold
is in turn compelled to take up the mar
rative he does this from the standpoint
of Mr.. Labouchere. making sympathetic
ally critical study of him in the midst
of thirty-five years of parliamentary
service. incidentally, this plan not only
reviews English political history for this
period, but ii also makes real addi-
tons to the sum of English political
knowledge. The real pleasure of this alb
sorbing book lies in its free revelation
of Labouchere's character through the
tantaliZing contradictions of his personal
