Literary Notes.

There's a tang ana a snap to Lippin' colt $ fiction that not only holds the readers attention all through, but makes him look forward impatiently to acquiring the next number. For the contents are selected with view to giving as great variety as possible. The issue for May is good example. The complete novel is"Candle. Light, '" by Dorothea Deakin, long favorite with magazine readers. "Candle- Light is one of fhe most fetching yarns we have ever read. The story is distinctly novel, and very up-to' date, with it's aviation and woman's suffrage features. The heroine Is captivating little creature, demure yet andacious. No obvious plot, this. You make up your mind that such a thing is bound to happen, then shortly after you de eide that 1t isn't, but that something else lis sure to-and you are fooled again. or course all turns out satis- faetorily, but for some time you can't help being afraid it won't.
