Story of a Double Life,

e. Phillips Oppenheim makes an
amazing departure in spirit of plot
and mood Of story telling in his new
book. "The Double Life of Mr.. Alfred
Burton"-sent to market by Little.
Brown &, Co, We are accustomed tn
Oppenhelm's scorching intrigues. dip
lomatiC dashes in adventure and
brain-stOrm folks in his novels-but
this author went far out of his usual
path in discovering and revealing this
Mr.. Burton. We enjoy this sprightly
and amusing departures; it's whole
some as story, and 1t shows sew
eral fine trends in Characterization.
Burton is introduced as a rather
slangy and loud hammered auctioneer-
salesman assistant, in London; hus-
band to a woman of duplicate loud
manners, given to cheap and tawdry
dress and Mayfair society" In quest
of business, leasing a house to an
American, Burton finds beans, yes, lit
tie brown beans, and he eats one.
Presto! the magic Of it. The double
gets in its work promptly.
This Burton. doubled, sees every
thing in a clear, white light, and he is
absolutely truthful-with the result
that he tells horrible truths about the
vacant house to the possible tendnt.
This gilt edged Burton fares forth and
buys refined clothes for himself; he
simply can't return to tawdry ELLEN"
and the conditioned little house.
Then ensue domestic scenes, col
ored blue and red-and we confess we
like "Ellen's" straight-away honesty
and unfrilled self-respect. She does
not beat about the bush In telling this
made-ove Mr.. Burton how she help
ed build the familys small prosperity.
She rejects this late edition OF her
husband; she won't eat the bean that
he offers as her chance to be his equal
and he acts the cad for his own
sake, apparently.
The bean" influence is put to sew.

This novel is allegorical-you'll dis

there's a note Of tenderest pathos near

Poems by q Georpian.

Verses of tiligree datntiness, used
to dress thoughts of substantial
quality, make up the latest book Of
poems by Robert Loveman, "On the
WAY to Willowdale" "a. j. Showal
ter Company, 81. This Georgia poet
has established a general following
in which there are men and women
ready to proclaim him one OF the first
lyric poets of to-day. These new
verses will strengthen Loveman's
standing with his readers. There are
IS poems in the book, each of them
short, but each a gem of thought
And yet there is a daintiness like that
of LoveIace and a symphonic fire like
that Of Poe.
Loveman is most generally regard
ed as a poet of nature, of Southern
nature, and of Georgia nature at that.
Much Of the verse in this latest vol
ume deals with the fora and fauna of

Hidden Wealth Lost; Stove Is Worst Offender

Gently the redemption division was
compelled to examine the stomach of
a dog that had swallowed a $40 bill
dropped by his owner. The bill was
thought to be worth more than the
dog, SO the animal was killed. Calves
mutilate paper money worse than any
other animal. Goats appear to give 1t
a lick and a promise" and swallow
the whole roll.
Men in the redemption division as
sert that in cases where animals swal-
low bills the proper course Is to get
the bills as soon as possible and to
ship the whole mass to Washington to
be unfolded and tested as to its
genuineness.
Decidedly the larger part Of money
sent to Washington for redemption is
said to have been mutilated by fire.
The parlor stove Is a great source of
loss. During the summer months
money is concealed In the stove and in
the fall is sent up In smoke In the
first fall fire. Railway wrecks also
cause the loss of thousands Of paper
bills. In these cases the smallest
charred niorsels, sometimes no larger
than the nail on the little finger, serve
as sufficient evidence of destruction
to warrant the redemption of a whole
roll of bills.

OK think he had been killed. He left
1t on a sheet of glass and walked on,

1t was not long before one of the

knew this quite we'll and. carefully
washing out the tobacco dust from the

harmless grass snake into it and put
on the lid.
That afternoon he stayed late with

Cant you keep still, David?" asked
Mr.. Mead from behind his evening pa
per, What are you doing?"
"Studyin' Latin" came the muffled
answer, IAN I'm stuck"
SHOW it to me-" ordered his father,
resignedly. Mr.. Mead's Latin was ex-
ceedingly rusty, and he, knowing this
fact, was wont to act with due eau
ton.
David brought his work over and
explained where the trouble lay. 1t
seemed that a certain word could not
be found in the vocabulary, o could
he guess whence the form was de-
rived. The father studied the page
for a moment and then said: Now,
David, | don't think I ought to help
you. II is a great deal better for you
to puzzle things out for yourself. In
this case it is merely a question of
your knowing your declensions and
coniugations,"

For the Stout Girl.

There is little enough in ~present-dayr
styles to bring happiness to the stout
woman. Her hips are a constant
source of worry, in spite Of the fact
thai her waist is just in style. And
when she surveys the filmy chiffon
and lace underbodies and the corsets
that end at the waist she is filled with
dismay,
But the brassieres of heavy all-over
embroidery, reinforced with removable
bones under the arms and in front
and back, with stout tapes to hold
them down at the waist, are a real
boon, to the plump woman They are
really dainty and attractive at the
same time they are substantial and
serviceable.

Clad in striped costumes Of blue and
white satin of the time of Philip III.
and carrying white plumed hats, the
dancers make Philip III. a dainty ap.
pearance. AS the orchestra begins the
quaint music, written early in the sew
enteenth century, played on ancient
instruments and held unpublished, the
boys kneel and offer a short prayer to
the Virgin, afterward singing in their
clear young voices the sweetest of
melodies, minor in key and plaintive
in style, then, DOMINIC their hats, the
dance commences.
This so-called dance is in reality
more of a stately walk and a weaving
In and out of several graceful figures,
ending In a single turn at the end of
each Of the three parts. The castinets
are lightly played and sound charm
ingly. At the close Of the dance the
seises make their final obeisance and
ascend the steps of the altar, followed
by the archbishop, his long crimson
robe ripping over the steps from top
to bottom.
Never was a more perfect and efec.
tive picture than this: The glistening

the air filed with sweet harmony. The

hand to bless his people. Just at this

peal forth in Joyous unison, the great
tones Of the organ roll through the
cathedral and the orchestra joins In
the last refrain of the semi-religious
dance music, and this fascinating
fiesta Is ended.

The speech made a hit with the au-
