THE KIND ADVENTURE. By Stella
George Stern Perry. author Of GO

York: Frederick A. Stokes Company.
Here is the best sort of book for boys
and girls to read and practice-for
grown folks. too, as to that. 1t is an
adventure in the beautiful world of
kindness. To show just how delightful
such an adventure may be, this pleas
ingly natural writer tells the story of
brother and sister who, separated for
the summer, agreed together to put in
a fair share of their vacation to giving
somebody a good time. When one sets
out with such intent as this. chances
to put it to practice spring up as thick
as blackberries in blackberry time.
And so it proved with these two. One
would hardly look for really romantic
adventure, and mystery, and thrills. In
such humdrum plan as merely being
nice to folks, but, nevertheless. the
romance and the mystery and the thrill
are all here. as YOU will see when you
read this fine adventure in kindness.

1--WE have been friends for years. But
that makes no difference with me now l
shall never speak to you again" Mrs.
Dimmick turned her back on Sophie Peel.
She was trembling little and very much
flushed, but there was stern f1nality IN
her voice that made Sophie vince. How
ever, she had her rights and was proud
enough to maintain them. II Angelne
Dimmick chose to 'spunk up" over such
a little thing as that. she could. Sophie
would not try to placate her So she. too,
turned. In consequence, a pair of rigldly
determined backs were opposite to each
other as Mrs. Dimmick numbered toward
her own domicile on one side of the street
and Sophie fitted toward her domicile
opposite. A moment later two front doors
slammed and all outward evidences Of the
affair had vanished.
Behind her slammed front door Sophie
sat down weakly. She felt a little dazed.
When Angeline had crossed the street
thirty minutes before she had never
dreamed that what promised to be the
usual pleasant morning call would end in
this manner. Truth ully, Angeline had
begun 1t. She said that Sophie had no
business to ask Emmeline Palmer to stay
with her during the coming w. c. T. U.
convention when she knew that Angel ne
had asked Mrs. Palmer to stay with her.
Sophie said she didn't see how she could
help asking Emmeline. whom she had
always known and liked. She had written
that she was coming and seemed to ex-
pect an Invitation. Mrs. Dimmick had re-
torted that Emmeline was going to stay
with her; she had the letter to prove it,
and she barred Emmeline's epistle to So
phies eyes. Sophie said that she had
always felt that Emmeline Palmer was
real deceitful. Angeline said that Sophie
needn't call her friend and her prospect
i've guest names. So it had gone from
bad to worse and had ended disastrousy.
IT ought by good rights to write to
Emmeline Palmer and give her piece
Of my mind.' Sophie said to herself.
"She's made trouble between Angeline
and me and we've never had a word be-
fore in all the years. Sophie shifted 1t

her word and never spoke again? "She's

anything TO do with Erame inc Palmer

They clung together. while Mrs. Colt
and Amelia and Emmeline Palmer. who
had followed Mrs. Dimmick out of the
store, looked on in astonishment.
Don't let on to Emmeline that she
made trouble: she don't dream of it."
Mrs. Dimmick whispered. She said
she meant to stay with both of us-a
night with you and a night with me-"
"Oh, amt got anything against En-

mously. She felt that she had never
been SO happy in her life.
Emmeline kissed her and made much
of her, and nothing would do but that
that evening. It was like a reunion,

Rheims. Commenting upon its
ruin, a writer in the Outlook
recently said:
ITO destroy human life in war is evil
enough, but to destroy a work Of art
is to destroy the human soul, for 1t is
in such monuments as the Cathedral
at Rheims that the souls of men of the
middle ages, whose bodies have long
since decayed, are still alive in the
world today"
To repair this damage and restore
this magnificent monument of the art
and craft sof past ages has been de-
clared by experts to be impossible
Joseph Pennell, writing Of French
cathedrals some years ago. expressed
the hope that Rheims would escape
the well meant but distressing atten-
tions of the present day reStorer, and
ventured the conviction that despite all
storms this noble cathedral would
stand for many centuries, witnessing
to the nobility and greatness of art.
But Rheims is in ruins and sorrow
for it's loss is mingled with fear for the
safety of the cathedrals and other
beautiful buildings in cities unhappily
situated within the war zone. curious
ly enough, these facts bring to atten-
ton the wealth of Europe and the
comparative poverty of our own land.
Where is the building in America. the
destruction of which would be lament
ed by the world at large? Where is the
building on this side of the Atlantic
which if destroyed could not, save pos
sibly with regard to historical associa-
ton be completely restored!
In our new country we have built al
most entirely for the present, and
without regard to the future; our OBJ

tion has been to scoff at. art. The
cathedral at Rheims was work OF
cola boration and Of love-it grew
gradually and was built to stand. It
was true expression of art, and 1t
was of a kind which cannot be bought
or borrowed. We can purchase the
paintings by the great masters of Eu-
rome and bring them home, and put
them in our galleries. we can In the

MISS LESLEY JACKSON, one of our

weeks in Toxic and Nikko; now we

other places in the south of the island,
heavy rains having washed out the
track and carried away the bridges.
The temples at Nikko. with their red,
black and gold lacquer, elaborate carv-
ings and exquisite designs in gold and
color, are wonderful. Their effect is
greatly enhanced by the groves of tall
cedars that surround them. The day
after we arrived the emperor sent his
envoy to the temples with prayers for
the success of the Japanese arms. The
envoy, arrayed in a rich black robe
over purple skirt, was preceded by
two attendants in white bearing the
prayers in a white casket, and followed
by several priests in gorgeous blue
robes, as well as a number of princes
and officials-mostly in European cos
tune. The procession passed thus TO

for the emperor. No one was allowed

Talbot's Processes.

Six months prior to NJ. Daguerre's
publications concerning his process,
Fox Talbot communicated his photo
graphic discoveries to the Royal So
ciety, and afterward issued an account
of his scheme for preparing a sensitive
paper for Photographic reproduction,
which he called photogenic drawings.
He prepared his paper by washing a
sheet of fine writing paper with solu-
tions of salt and silver nitrate. When
dried this proved of use In securing
prints of leaves. etc, in the camera OBJ
scura. Later he used iodide of potas-
sium and other chemicals to perfect his
system. Talbot's second process Of pa :.
per making was patented in lS41 and
was known as the calotype. The main
advance In this system was the ability
of the discoverer to make unlimited
prints of his picture.
Talbot obtained a third Photographic
patent on a process for photographing
on unglazed porcelain, which a man by
the name of Malone improved some
