After reading Mrs. William Howard

lections of Full Years" CDodd Mead

how It is that Mr.. Tart manages TO keep
constantly IN good humor. The author
tries to limit herself TO what seemed
most unusual and Interesting in her

was the period OF his administration OF
the Philippines, and with that she
occupies herself chiefly. She hurries
somewhat through the early years of
activity In Ohio and congresses a good

with many anecdotes about her family

picture she has drawn of plain. sensible

century OF an uncommonly active pub
