There is nobody who writes quite like Mrs. Bosher.
 She has stalled out @ large claim for herself in the region of happiness and brought forth much pure gold from tlf-. mine of her discovery. Three rich veins have already been worked Mary Cary,'' Miss Gibbie Gault," "The Man in Lonely Land" and now she opens up the fourth in this ne wstory, which, perhaps. lies nearer the center of human sympathy than even the others.
 Mrs. Bosher in 1.-The House of Happi- ness shows again her fondness for a lovable child character as she did in her first book, Mary Cary" This time her affections are centered on boy called Cricket, and Mrs. Bosher describes him as being full of "freckles and fun" Cricket is a northern boy, in contrast to the southern Mary Cary" However, Mrs. Bosher has divided the interest in ''The House of Happiness" equally be- tween the north and the south, the scenes of the story including plans and people characteristic of both.
 The story is teeming with warm hu- man sympathy and a distinct appeal to the heart, and it is safe to say that those who miss the opportunity to read this pleasing book will regret it but once-and that is for all time.
 "OUR FRIENDS AND OUR FOES OF
 THE INVISIBLE WORLD"
 By Harvey Hersey. A. B., A. M., with 1vO
 illustrations; the Ncale PubEs,-com-
 pany, New York.
 Let no one fancy that this is a book on spiritualism. The friends and foes of the invisible world in this instance are not the shades of the departed They are, indeed, but too real, too material being the tiny things that guard and menace the physical well being of each one of us. And this well being Is the one essential of humanity. For, without doubt, the race could endure forever without a mind, but without healthy body its days would be but few. Is a microbe an animal or a plant? Answer, you layman who can. But the majority of the nonmedical world do not know. He who would learn what mi crobes are, which ones are to bA culti- vated and which ones to be avoided, will find a world of knowledge on this im- portant matter thrown open to him in MT. Herseys invaluable volume Unlike other works that have been brought out on the subject of germs, this book is not filled with obscurities-professio tech nicalities that puzzle the ordinary reader. As the author says: "The aim here has been to cover the entire field ard in so plain and simple language that whoever
 
 Needless to say, Mr. Hersey has at tained his aim
 Furthermore, this book Is not only in teresting and painstaking but 1t is also volume that has become a necessity in view of the growing power of mi- crobes in disease production and disease destruction.

February and March Bring Out Un

The woman with tender skin dreads February and March because they are likely to cover her face with ugly freck- les. No matter how thick her veil, the sun and winds have a strong tendency to make her freckle.
 Fortunately for her peace of mind, the recent discovery of new prescrip- tion, othine-double strength, makes 1t possible for even those most susceptible to freckles to keep their skin clear and white. No matter how stubborn @ case of freckles you have, the double strength othine should remove them.

"GOvERNMENT OWNERSHIP (
 RAILWAYS"

l
 By Samuel O. Dunn. D. Appleton & Co.,,
 publishers, New York.
 Samuel G. Dunn. the author of Govern
 ment Ownership of Railways has pur- pose in his book and the first is to give i information as to the comparative results of the railways in various leading and typical countries. Its chief purpose, how
 ever, is to try to direct serious con- sideration to the question of what--in view of the experience of other countries with state ownership and management, and of the conditions existing in the United States-would probably be the re- sults of the adoption of government own ership and management of railways. The author is one of the foremost authorities of America on railroad questions and his treatment of the subject may be regarded
 as conservative. judicial and fair.
 In respect of importance the question of government ownership of railways is hardly surpassed by any other that seems
 likely ever to be presented to American
 democracy for settlement. It is a ques- tion to which every intelligent Amer ican should give thoughtful consideration. THE SOCIALIZED CONSCIENCE, By oJseph Herschel Coffin. Warwich & York, publishers, Baltimore, Maryland. The particular merit of this. new text book in ethics consists in the fact that by approaching the subject from the social standpoint, morality is given a very rich and full content After all is said and done, morality IS one of the biggest and most significant facts of life, and Dr. Coffin has succeeded ad-
 mirably in giving it concreteness and def niteness, and in making It's claims reg l and vital The author holds that tthe
 moral situation is always a social sit- uation, and that moral conduct is the reaction of a self to a vital social prob lem. Accordingly. the two factors upon which ethical theory is based are self hood or personality, and the moral stt- nations which arise in connection with the institutional life of society The first three chapters of the book are de- voted to the development of the mo. al criterion-the Socialized Conacience; th.s is approached by way of both psychology and sociology. The five succeeding chap ters discuss, in the light of the moral criterion. the most significant of the
 meral problems which arise Tn connec- namely. the homo, the school. the vo- cation, the state, and the church. A final chapter gathers up the conclusions of both lines of inquiry and states them in the form of an ideal.
 The book is particularly well adapted for those who are just beginning the
 study of ethics, because the method is
 scientific rather than philosophical, and
 because the presentation is nontechnical;
 while, for those who desife to go moro
 fully into the problem, the Topics and
 Questions for Further Study. together
 with the references at the close of each
 chapter will prove exceedingly suggestive and helpful. The teacher of ethics who

At a Halloween ball, one of the Att society belles appeared in a gown which was the exact counterpart of the gown worn by Joy Marr at the Halloween ball described in the story. This created a genuine sensation. So striking was the effect that all the Atlanta newspapers carried spread articles devoted to the coup. The young lady who carried out the original idea was either rewarded or penalized-only her intimate friends may know which-by more public attention than has ever been received in Atlanta society before.
 The Joy Marr gown is striking enough in itself as will be seen from Mrs. Har- ris' own description of the gown in Tn Search of a Husband"
