nv men OF their political rights. lt may be
that her book Is intended to arouse her
sisters to a consciousness OF their power
and TO inspire them TO use 1t in order TO get
the voto. This is not probable, however
for the book on its surface, appears 10 De
nothing more than u social satire
The hero is a young man from the West
who has made a fortune IN airships. lie
is called Max Riatt, name that SOUNDS
SO much like Wright that the assumption
that the Dayton inventor might nave been
in the mind of the author is not forced. He
meets two beautiful women at Long
Island house party, one of them unmarried
and the other married. The latter plans
to attach his scalp to her belt and the
former decides TO marry him. There Is
lot of playing for advantage in the first
hours after the entrance Of the young
man on the scene HIS is amused but not
deceived by IT, He Is soon trapped into
proposing marriage to the younger woman,
nomnally in order to save her reputation
She accepts him and at the same time
agrees to release him within two months
She has won the first sldrmish In the bat
tie She continues to play her game and
piatt continues to play his game, and we
have the novel situation of an engaged
couple who must act In public as IL they
loved each other while in private each
insists that the agreement of release must
be respected. The outcome is indicated in
the first paragraph Of this article. The
woman wins and winds the man about her
finger, while he thinks he is a free agent.
The publishers describe the book as a
pirate story Of New York high society"
Whether Mrs. Miller would so describe 1t
is an open question. She doubtless in
tended TO show men how powerless they
are and how completely they are at the
mercy Of the weaker sex when that sex
fights with the weapons of which it is mis-
tress Men should read the story for their
edincation and women for their amusement.

KING AND QUEEN SEE
SHIPBUILDERS AT WORK

London, July 20.-One of the most
interesting of the series of tours
which the king and queen are making
to industrial centers in Great Britain
was their visit to the River Tee, where
sshipbuilding of all kinds is being push
ed forward at a tremendous pace.
In the first shipyard which the
royal visitors reached, some workmen
in the iron foundry had hit on a
novel welcome AS the kind entered
the yard, a stream of molten metal
was poured out of the furnace in a
mould that built up the words: "a
warm welcome to the king and
queen"
In one town where thousands of
boy and girl workers are employed,
there was a special childrens day for
the entertainment of royalty. Chill
dren in thousands lined the streets,
and waved their flags as the king
and queen passed. Other children ran
alongside the royal carriage or ac-
companied the visitors through the
engine rooms and joiners' shops and
plate mills, jostling each other and
waving their dilapidated caps in en-
thusiastic disregard of court etiquette
in the very faces of the king and
queen.
There was something very impress
sive in the wave on wave of smoke
begrimed children who participated in
the welcoming. Many of them, clad
in cut down suits of their fathers
overalls, were not over twelve or thir-
teen years old, but they were all war
workers, and full-time workers al
that, mostly drawing virtually mems
wages.
The royal party later saw a large
number of German prisoners at work
! on the Stag heaps, and had the fiat
tering experience of being cheered by
their foe. The king was informed by
the officer in charge that the pris-
oners had proved admirable workmen
and were we'll behaved and indus
trious.

having been filed Immediately after

the fact that the new county has as
