A Really Novel Novel

The situations and Incidents in Horace
A. Nachell's "Quinneys' " George II.
Doran & Coz are never high spots, but
they are trifes SO tremendous as to put
this novel with it's uniquely commonplace
hero in a class all by itself.
That honesty pays in dollars and cents
as we'll as In the abstract is the simple
moral scrubby-haired beauty-loving
dealer In antiques who sells fakes as
fakes is the hero. His gentle wife, who
tears that his love for man-made perfec-
ton amounts to a worship of false gods,
Is the somewhat negligible heroine. His
career as dealer, one or two potent
incidents in his domestic life and a great
many In his business life, his subsequent
success due unQuestionaby to his accu-
rate honesty, and his final conquering of
the temptation to delude rich collectors,
are the main threads In the woof Of the
tale, But Quinney's whimsical, unpol-
ished English personality, his vivid lam
guage filled with the picturesque terms
OF his trade, and his shrewd development
of q power to detect faxed spots in
human nature as well as in bits of fur
niture give the pages color and lively
charm.
Quincy averts matrimonial disaster
for his pretty daughter by accurately ap-
praising the character of a handsome
youth with whom she fancies herself in
love. He addresses the young man in
the terms of n pottery specialist.
You're nicely decorated and there's
smooth. buttery glaze to you, but your
paste is rotten"
In "Quinneys' Mr.. Vachell has given
us a really new theme, unhackneyed and
refreshing, making no pretense at seri-
BUSINESS. The undertone Is strong and
clean, however. and you close the book
with the smile you reserve for real
treats

little widow, usurps the designing
mothers functions and proceeds TO ar
range behtting marriages, not for herself
alone, but for the whole family.
Sylvia, however. Is by no mean the OBJ
jectionable type OF designing woman. In
fact she Is quite an attractive character,
but heartless nevertheless, and bent sole
ly on obtaining her darling wishes. She
succeeds in part; for she marries a
wealthy earl However. the outstanding
feature of her operations, in fact theme
throughout the book, is that she marries
we'll to redeem her husbands family
socially, assuming the position that she
is conferring the greatest OF favors not
that she Is landing a prize" Her plans,
however. for the others of the family are
seriously interfered with by her brilliant
but recalcitraut brother who turns a
Catholic. The author, who is retired
Catholic priest scores some well veiled
attacks on the English church and extols
his own faith in pleasing and convincing
manner.
Madse. sylvia's twin sister, unconven-
tonal ana openly Haunting nobilltys
charms, Is the lovable character of the
story. She proceeds to fall in love with

As In his delightful "Gracechurch" the
author avoids caustic criticism. but his
gentle irony and ridicule of the foibles
of life are none the less convincing.

thing extra fine?" asked the bigger
breeze. 81 don't seem to think of any
thing but what we have done before.
Why not do that and have some fun
while we think?"
But the littlest breeze wouldn't think
of such a thing. do the same old thing
on fine day like thls?" he asked in dis
gust. 'I wouldn't think of such thing.
Such a fine day as this deserves a fine
play. If we all sit down and think I am
sure we can think OF something extra
nice to do"
So all the summer breezes sat down
to think. And while they thought Jack
Frost returned from away and blew a
cold blast through the forest. BURR.
Burr" he called, "here I am! Look out
for your noses"
The summer breezes heard him and
ran for their lives TO shelter. And as
they scurried away they cried, mo more
thinking for us Just look at all that
valuable time wasted. We might have
been playing, and we just sat still and
thought. Next time wen play the best
we can while we can" And they did.

A Yankee "Bulldop"

Exactly why B. Phillips oppenheim
should have called his latest story Mr.
Grex of Monte Carlo" Oittle. Brown 4
Co) is not altogether apparent, but the
tale by any name would be Just as abb
sorbing. Even Miss Grex overshadows
her noble parent. Further Sir Henry
Hunterleys and his beautiful, gambling
Wife figure more prominently.
But the really magnetic character of
the story is Richard Lane, the bull
dog Yankee millionaire who, unawares,
is plunged into a succession of interna-
tonal schemings, but who, with his head
always above water, is bent on marry
ing the divlnely fair Miss GreX Lane,
upon his second meeting with Miss Grex,
calmly announced that she soon would
change her, name. Discovery of the fact
that his beloved was q close relative of
the Car of the Russlas did not deter
him. Instead. he armed himself with q
marriage license and called upon the
young woman, having discreetly locked
the Grand Duke August aboard his yacht.
The character of Lane is bully" how
ever one might resent some of the English
slang-"ripping' and my word"-that
the author foists upon him.
Strangely prophetic in many instances
are the discussions of the arch conspira-
tors of Russia, Germany and France on
the war that has now overswept Europe.
However, the alliances that these states
men sought to effect have not materializ-
ed in actual fact The scheme was a
collosal blow at Britain and the occupa-
tion of South America by Germany.
One statement may yet be proved In
part:
"No French advance into Germany
would be successfully no advance into
France Is likely. The war would languish
for lack of funds, through sheer in
anition it would flicker out, and the
money of the world would flow into the
treasures of America"
The story is gripping; it is big; it is
Oppenheim.

little book of good suggestions 1t tries

has been the cause of the disturbances
The Armenians. believing Russia would
win, gave active aid to Turkeys enemy.
They were supplied with Russian guns
and organized legions of troops who
started massacres among the Mohamme-
dams. In the province of Wanna every
Mohammedan was killed, and the mass
acre lasted until regular Turkish troops
