and that II should never have been. that
we should disregard its lure and brace
ourselves for the daily shower from this
time forth and forever more.
No one objects to being hygienic, of
course. but when you stop to think that
for years the tub has been the daily re-
compense for grimy toll. 1t takes at least
few moments to adjust oneself to the
fact that none of US has profited,
We have come out dirtier than when We
went in, DIR. Alters is reported to have
said.
Oh, little Johnny and Maggie and Susie
and Paul, what an argument is here for
cruel parents who have insisted on the
tub every Saturday night and sometimes
in betweeni
But the joy is likely to be short lived
because the doctor man advises shower
baths instead. There isn't even the con-
ISOLATION of being able to sail the cake
of soap in a shower!
But, again. you may be grown up be-

There's the family automobile and motor

program.
Responsible for the Demand.
The great wave of social uplift sweep
ing the country, coincident with the
tremendous efforts of suffrage organiza-
tions to arouse and interest women in
their propaganda, also are largely re-
sponsible for the demand for serious
books. Men and women alike want 10
know what is being done in other cities,
in other countries. to lessen poverty; to
provide old age pensions; to protect fac
tory operatives: improve housing con-
ditions, furnish better school accommoda-
tion. provide adequate water supply and
sanitary machinery for villages and
towns. Thousands Of books are sold
which deal with what is termed the white
slave problem; over thousands discussing
plans for improving the life Of the work.
ing girl dependent upon her own efforts;
and there has come into existence a great
library of volumes dealing with child
hood, in which every Intelligent mother
is more or less keenly interested.
These are some of the reasons, II is
said, why the demand for serious books
is overtaking that for novels. But there
are still additional reasons.
Owing to the worldwide increase In the
cost of living. almost every family in
the land is now trying to ascertain where
needless expense can be eliminated. Many
a woman who used to have two servants
now gets along with one; and even a
larger number who used to employ one
maid OF all work finds II possible to get
along with the help Of a daughter. and
a laundress who comes to the house for
two days a week. In taking over the
active work OF their books discussing
matters of diet, food households, such
women purchase books discussing mat
ters of diet, food economy, drainage, ETC..
and when they happen upon books Of that
kind which are authoritative, they feel
themselves well repaid.
Scores of thousands OF American
women are today practicing household
efficiency whose mothers would not have
known what was really meant by the
term. They are learning how to readjust
the family diet because a shortage OF
supply in meats, for example, compels
them to do so. They are learning and
teaching their households that with
thorough mastication OF plain food the
average American can thrive on about
one-half the quantity he formerly stuffed
himself with. to the Improvement OF his
temper. his digestion ahd his general
well-being.
In brief. changing conditions have
taught the intelligent woman to think:
and once mentally emancipated. she sees
the necessity Of reading books other than
cheap fiction. Good novels she will al
ways want, and will always buy and read
with profit as well az with enjoyment

Public Taste Turning from
Fiction to Serious Books

| The manager of one of the largest re-
tail book stores in the country, William
Macmillan, Of Wanamaker's, makes the
surprising statement that the public are
now buying a larger number of serious
books than works OF fiction.
During the last six months We have
actually sold a greater number OF novels
| than ever before" he adds. because tine
business is growing year by year.. But
the fact remains that large as Is our
sale of fictions. our sales OF serious books
have swept ahead. For some time the
demand for serious books has been gra-
ually overtaking the demand for fiction
and during the holiday season recently
ended it overlook and surpassed the fic-
tion demand to such an extent that We
shipped a good many new novels TO Our
Philadelphia store so they would not be
left on our hands unsold in New York.
'rIn a general way 1t may be said that
our patrons are now reading the kind OF
book that Englishmen read some sixty
or seventy years ago. They want stand
ard fiction, of coruse, and some Of
the really fine new novels. But what
We are selling in largest quantity are
books of travel, essays. works OF popu-
lar science and especially books treating
of all sorts of social and economic and
civic problems"
Demand Increasing.
Inquiry at several other book stores
revealed conditions only approximating
those reported by Mr. Macmillan. Else
where excepting in a few instances,
sales OF fiction still lead other books. but
the general opinion is that the demand
for books OF information is steadily in
creasing among all classes Of people
That this should be SO is logical re-
suit of the rapid change in the social,
political and domestic life of the coun-
try. For more than a decade multitudes
of men and women have been deeply in
terested in matters Of civic government
who never were interested before. The
investigation of railway and industrial
enterprises opened to them a new and
fascinating field for study. The wide
discussion by newspapers and magazines
Of economic questions based on the tariff,
internal taxes and government regula-
ton of business whetted the appetite for
knowledge of such matters, and in re-
sponse to a demand for books dealing
with the questions came an increasing
supply.
1t must be remembered also that studies
concerning affairs of practical daily life
are now q part of high school and col
lege curricula, for which reason thousands
Of boys and girls have their attention
early directed toward them. In addition.
and perhaps a still more important in
f1uence, Is the feminist movement,

OF American women. One result of this
