Her Husbands Purse, by Helen r.
Martin. Doubleday, Page and Co.,
$1.35.)
The popularity with which the
dramatized version of Heren r. Mar
tins "Barnabetta" has been received
in New York is an added reason why
this most recent book from the pen
of the local authoress should prove a
big seller. once again Mrs. Martin
depicts the speech and customs of
the Pennsylvania Dutch, that people
so strangely thrifty and at the same
time cruelty Indifferent to the rights
of their wives and daughters, in the
delineation of which characters the
dramatiZation of "Barnabetta' has
proven a stimulative delight to many
jaded New York theatergoers.
Margaret Berkeley, in Her TTus-
bands Purse is cultured and
gently bred Southern girl who marries
one of the new type Pennsylvania
Dutch lawyers living in a small town
by the name OF New Munich. His
people are to her strange and difficult
to understand, different in every
particular from the easygoing hos
pitable Southerners whom she has
hitherto known Her diff1culty in ad-
justing herself to her new environ
ment is increased by the domineering
manner of her husband and his two
vulgar sisters and in relieving herself
of their tyranny the young wife
rudely skaters her narrow minded
husbands conception OF all that a
dutiful wife should be.
The characters in the book are in
teresting and true to life. but the view
point on marriage therein expressed
is rather antagonistic to the old
fashioned idea of love and marriage
which is still fortunately adhered to
in n large majority of cases.
The Master Detective, by Percy
James Brebner. &c. p. Dutton and
Co, $1.35.)
"The Master Detective" is q wit
sharpener in a series of short and
extraordinary detective stories. 1t
brings back TO the reading public an
eccentric character named Christopher
Quarles professor of philosophy
who works out all his cases on a
deductive basis, queer and uncanny.
Assisted by a young Scotland Yard
detective, the professor undertakes
only those cases which have proven
baffling to others.
All of the stories are told in a brisk
manner, instead of trying to confuse
the reader with much detail The
book gives all the detailed informa-
ton at the start and if the reader
becomes involved in Quarles' method
of deduction, it is because the old
gentleman uses a method all his own.

characters are patiently impossible in
their splendid superlativeness, the
book is full of the joy of living and
teeming with romanticism and wild
adventure.
Fascinating in the power of imagi-
nation and Installation, the author
has made of his three leading charac-
ters two men and woman, living,
breathing beings that suggest the
superman and the superwoman. Dick
Forrest is a landed proprietor of
great wealth and many ideas, a very
German military government for effi-
cheney, and boy in his play mo-
ments. His wife, Paula, is a goddess
with human traits, mistress of all she
surveys and a queen among men.

mixtures of glorious manhood and
Womanhood, the acme of physical per-
fection, with bodies and minds both

the outcome of the complications
which arise in the Big House. The

the problem in a way to bring tears to
the eyes of a strong man. The
characters are generously drawn and
there is nothing petty about the plot
all is treated on a big scale, with a
