 In the same school occurred the unique experience of Schnorrig. Dikran had come to her father and bargained for her. When she was told of her impending mar riafe she was sulky and sad, for she had read English books and did not wish to be sold to a husband like a bale of rugs But she left school and let her mother prepare her trousseau. At the formal betrothal she and Dikran met for the first time. When the priest put the question whether she was wiling to ue betrothed to this man she shocked all the relatives assembled in festive array by 6 bold No" The priest argued with her, and the irate father would probably have forced her by pushing her head forward i had not Dikran declared that he liked her spirit and would not have her forced to take him. So the party broke up in tears and lamentations. But the two

THE CHOSEN PEOPLE

By Sidney L. Nyburg. J. B. Lippincott Co.,, publishers, Philadelphia
 The author of "The Conquest" and "The Final Verdict" is marked as a brilliant novelist. There Is no catering In his work to middle class taste or all class sen timentalism. He writes with a pen un- thwarted by false notions, but alive with sincerity and genuine artistic impulse. This new novel of the Jews in America strikes note unheard in American fic- ton. Its appeal Is to Jews and to non- Jews to all who delight in the art and content of great fiction.
 brilliant young rabbi of liberal views is called to take charge of the largest and most fashionable syna gogue in Baltimore. His congregation is almost entirely made up of wealthy Jews of German descent They are comfortable in their gold and in their faded, rather unorthodox Jewism. The hero, the rabbi, Is a great preacher and attempts to awaken his congre- gation to an appreciation of the spir- itual. The first part of the book deals with the sucking of the young men into the very same comfortable, pride full and well established viewpoint as that held by his congregation. The agencies that bring this about are hls pride and tae feminine. worshipful element.
 One of his main ideas is the neces- sity for the spiritual union of all Jews. By free thinking cynical Jew named Gordon he Is made to realize that his talk is mostly smooth stuff" as he associates only with the rich and sees nothing of the great hordes of Russian Jews. dwe1lers in the slums of the Eastside.

 If you read Ernest Pooles story, "The Harbor," it is a certainty that you have waited anxiousy for another story from the pen of this talented and vivid writer, and Mr. Poole's large clientele is amply rewarded by his latest novel, entitled His Family
 In The Harbor'' the author took New York city for his vantage ground; again in His Family he has taken the same city and with ten league brush he has, in both instances, painted vivid, thrilling, masterful picture of the big gest city in America from two entirely different angles.

 Roger Gales New York is picturesque place. He loves the old neighborhood in which he lives. He looks out of his win dow and sees skyline of high buildings and muses on the families dwelling with in them. Then he goes down to the shop of the old Galician who shares his en- thusiasm for curious rings, and as he passes the crowded streets he sees color in the moving throngs.

Armenian Marriages

Hester Dunaluson Penkns in the World
 Outlook.
 Armenian marriages are always ar- ranged, the question of love not enter ing into the plan. I remember when the principal of an American school said to one of her teachers who was contem- plating matrimony: T hate to have you go, but I should not mind so much If you loved him. that the Armenian drew herself up indignantly; she would not be so unmaidenly as to love a man before marriage.
 An Armenian man generally picks out his own wife, one whom he has seen and approved. But he does not court her; instead he goes to her parents and makes very careful inquiries as to her health disposition and housewifery, after which he bargains keenly for her dot. Without a dot an Armenian girl may scarcely marry.
 An American principal of school for Armenian girls in Turkey received a great many applications for wives from the Armenian men of the neighborhood. Once she received letter which read some thing like this: Your Nobleness. ''Mademoiselle: I wish to marry one of

THE HUNDREDTH CHANGE.

THE HUNDREDTH CHANGE" By Ethel M. Dell. G. P. Putnams Sons,
 publishers, New York.
 Ethel M, Dell, in her very entertaining and readable novel, entitled "The Hun dredth Chance" has taken for a theme the old, old story of girl marrying a man for money, said man not being in the strictest sense of the word a gentle man"
 The way 1t all happened came about through the nsufferable conditions both for the heroine of the story and her crippled brother, when their mother mar ried the second time; and the "horse trainer who offered Maud Brian the way out Of her difficulties was-accepted and the story has to do with the life of the two so utterly mismated and unlike in every respect.
 The 'horse trainer" husband of Maud S is a rough, strong, often brutal man, who none the less loves her sincerely and with Maud is herself vain, snobbish. prudshly hard, self -engrossed. Her husband att tempts to tame her as he James his horses. The result, which almost spells disaster furnishes the book with its plot. It is not a realistic" study, but it is interesting reading, and it Is only after succession of more or less exciting in- cidents that the happy ending" is reached.

By Randolph Bourne. The Century company, publishers, New York.

By Randolph Bourne. The Century company, publishers, New York. A series of constructive studies of the methods and attitudes existing and emerging in our school and college system, by the most brilliant Ameri- can educational critic of the younger generation. is Randolph Bourne's Ed ucation and Living"
 MT. Bourne, of the contributing staff of "rhe New Republic" holds that the problem of American education Is to transform an institution into a life, educating the individual up to his capacity and releasing the vital ener- gies that go to waste under the pres ent oppressive system. Various phases of this general theme are treated in the papers included In this volume, among them "The Wasted Years "The Cult of the Best" Schools 'n Gary" Apprentices to the School" "An Issue in Vocational Education The Organic School" "Medievalism in the Colleges" and "Educating the Educators" A concluding chapter com ments on the widely discussed FIexner experiment. In modern education at Teachers college in New York city, under the auspices of the general edu- cation board of the Rockefeller Foun dation. As an admirable example of the new psychology, applied to the problem of building up a creative technique in their own field, MT. Bourne's book will find It's mark among all students of education, while It's sensitive and stimulating style and the wide range of the authors knowl- edge and sympathies will make 1t equally attractive to the general reader

language will gain him access to the hearts of this poorer element.
 His spiritual struggle is brought to climax by great strike of the clothing operators, Russian Jew girls, in the employ of Kahn, a rich German Jew, and president of the rabbi's own synagogue. He appreciates that his talk of brotherhood and union has been swallowed as platitudes.
 He makes every effort to bring the two factions together, but among the rich he discovers that business and religion must be kept apart and among the poor he finds himself suspected and tainted.
 The struggle finally Is brought to an end by the force of the banking interest who see in It's continuance blow to the prosperity of Balti- the employer Kahn does not want his name to come out as lowing to the dictates of labor: Gordon, the lawyer to be kept out of it; the bankers do not think 1t healthy that they should be considered as intermediates, so by common consent they announce to the newspapers that the brilliant young rabbi had brought the warning forces together. It Is a fine stroke of irony the rabbi awakes to find himself fa- nous.
 The rabbi incidentally is in love with one of the clan of capifa1istic German Jews. The author handles the love theme with due regard for its romantic importance in the life of The man and with skillful provision of its part in the story.

 A record of turbulent struggle in which big business Is baked in the ef- fort to take toll of the tropics, this rapid action story yields a wealth of intrigue and adventure to all lovers of stirring TO- nance, as related in The Coast of Op- portunity,' cleverly written by Page Philips.
 Enthusiastically a work struck hot from the forge of human experience, the whole fabric glows with the bright light of open spaces beneath southern skies: yet some bre shadows reach threateningly across the pages, for in the land of the palm the white man often sets his hand with out qualm to deeds he would shun in a northern cline.
