lished by Sherman, French & Co., Bos-
ton. Price 81. This charming little
volume is styled play, being YER
sion of the beautiful story of Hans
Christian Anderson, telling of the

would we'd her, but who in turn has
fallen in love with q handsome youth

The death of John Norris is a Sc

he rendered the greatest service to

of Congress, could cope with his all

and no amount of badgering or cross
examination could shake him. He
was essentially an apostle of scientific
management long before the present
development Of that art; indeed, it has
been we'll said that he had veritable
passion for the best methods. In adj

For these are piffiing vices.
The best of everything she gets

With cultured taste agreeing.
Her pans-she sees her face in them;-
And 1t is we'll worth seeing.
Her stoves an altar wherein she,
Her mystic rites performing,
Tempts appetite with doors free,
While dinner plates are warming.
Her table, slvery and white,
Aesthetic joy is giving.
The food she serves with pure delight
Provides the Joy of living.
Her laugh supplies a joyous note
To table conversation.
And though she hasn't any vote,
