STORY OF SUCH A LITTLE PRINCE
Mary Roberts Rinehart Has Created Boy Hero
in "Long Live the King!" Who Will Stir the
Heart of Every Mother

CGTNHE PRISONER OF ZENDA" school
of fiction had great vogue few years
ago for the reason, doubtless, that readers
were weary of realism and sought relaxation
I'm pure romance. A number Of novelists
profited by its popularity and fed the public
with stories of the happenings in imaginary
Kingdoms. Mrs. Burnett Joined the list when
she wrote "The Lost Prince" and now Mrs.
he would like a dog" They tell him he
has ten horses.
But would rather have just one" he
replies; then could get better acquainted
with him."
The Chancellor finds him in the nursery
Rinehart is bidding for popularity with
story in a similar vein Its scene is in n
little kingdom In southeastern Europe which
she calls Livonia. 1t deals with the fate OF
a ten-year-old boy, heir to a tottering throne,
and the plots Of revolutionists to set up a
republic. There are spies in the palace and
spies in the houses Of the poor. There is an
old king on his deathbed. There is love
affair between a countess and the ruler OF
an adjoining kingdom and an attempt to
marry n princess of Divonia To the king
with whom the countess is in love. There
Is q secret passage from the palace through
which the royal family hopes to escape
from the revolutionsts. There are midnight
automobile rides and a pilgrimage TO a
sacred shrine and there is an American boy
with whom the little heir to the throne gets
acquainted and from whom he learns of Lin
coin and the Gettysburg address.
The story has charm, because Mrs. Rine-
hart knows how to write She has created
a most delightful character in the little
Crown Prince. He is lonely in the palace
and he tells those in charge of him that
writing an exercise and the little fellow
explains that he could write better with
u pencil, because the pen sticks in the
paper" The story ends on the night after
the old King has died and the little boy
has been accepted by the people as his
successor. The old Chancellor goes into
the boys room at midnight to see whether
he is safe and finds him awake. After a
little while the boy asks to be taken on the
old mans lap. He snuggles down there
and once more asks for a dog. The request
Is granted this time. He yawns and is
soon asleep. The old mans eyes droop

KENYON COX ARTIST
IN WORDS AND COLORS
His Latest Book, Concerning
Painting" a Contribution
to Literature

Treatises on their craft by artists, wheth.
er in line of explanation, expose, apprecia-
ton, reflection or analysis, have ever been
of interest to the layman. From Leonardo
da Vinci's 'Trattura della Pittura" and
"Benevenuto Cellinis autobiography,
through Sir Joshua Reynolds's "Dscourses
on Art" Rosetti's morceaux, Whistler's
caustic commentaries, to recent works such
as Birge Harrison's Landscape Painting"
Edwin H. Blashfield's Mural Painting"
Hopknson Smiths t"Outdoor Sketching"
and such late autobographies as Sargents
and Chase's, the list is long and Informing
one. Kenyon Cox is one of the many paint
ers who are as adept with the pen and inkpot
as with the cameps hair, palette and maui
stick. He is already known for his virtual
"apologia pro arte sua," published under
the title, "The Classic Point or View"
which is his own view and vantage point
in painting, and other essays and lectures
on the subject. Now comes Concerning
Painting" a collection of papers printed
in magazines and dscourses delivered at
Union and Yale and the Metropolitan Mu-
scum and finally brought into their proper
perspective and adjustment as a concise
yet comprehensive statement of the case
of art from several angles of vision and
analysis. The book is thesaurus of au-
thentlc information and correct principles
for the general reader and of information
and inspiration for the art student. Def
milton is first attempted in What Is Paint
ing?" which considers the subject as an art
of imitation and as an art of relation

sonalities are the topics of the bukler mid-

galore and plenty of excitement when the

but the secret is finally yielded to sharp,

Do You Carve This Way?

A famous French chef lays down the fol-
lowing laws for carving roast chicken:
Lay the chicken on it's side
Stick your fork into the leg and lift it
up, meanwhile holding down firmly the
rest of the chicken.
Cut through the joint on the back press
ing the joint between the leg and second
joint, cut through.
Stick your fork into the wing so as not
to interfere with the knife cut through
the joint and loosen the meat surrounding
it 4; pull down with the fork and press firmly
on the carcass with the knife.
Do all this carefully and you can pull
all the meat from the breast with the wing
Now cut each breast crosswise in half
Turn the chicken over and carve the
other side.

WONIEN OF THE CITY MUST HELP

Love of Our Colors Brought Into Vogue by War;
Economy Made Fashionable by Hoover.
Who'll Set Style for Philadelphia?

A WESTERN city has at the entrance
"A to,the road that leads into its main
street the words: THE women Of this city
can have all that they ask for" It's de.
phrtment store aid that goes on to say in
small letters just why women may be
dictators
This queer, gaudy sign. fully 1000 miles
away. flashed up before me in a very
queer way recently. II was at mass
meeting held in the Academy Of Music
two nights ago to protest against gov,
ers, celebrated clergyman, said he be-
Iieved. IL women had had the vote the
killing In the Fifth Ward would not have
taken place.
HTELL. women haven't the vote Men
W say they can't have it.
But IN the meantime and this is the
way that long-forgotten sign read itself
TO me at that meeting: Are the women of
this city asking for all they could have?"
Men seem to be peculiarly paralytic
about correcting political corruption.
Standing in a line that reached three

the doctor and the teacher, who decided
long ago that Philadelphias politics were
beyond repair. This conclusion about

means of absent treatment He was not
In line.
Second, The man who needs a bit of a
political favor now and then in business
and in getting his automobile fines called
on. This man assured his friends outside
the Academy that he would get them in
as soon as he saw McC--.
Third The man who is ashamed to agi.
tate good government among his fel
. low men just as a small boy is ashamed
to be good in school.
The funny part about these men was
they belonged, to you and me. They are
not bad men, They're good men. but
