Ten-Foot elrth and foo-Foot Spread

Because of the fact that botanists
have told for many a year that the
elm tree attains its perfection in
southern New England a certain syl-
van sight on Main street in Bethel
and in the heart of the common
wealth section is of decided interest.
This is an elm tree of the true UNI
brella type. one OF the distinct forms
of the tree found not only in Massa-
chusetts but likewise here and there
in Vermont. The Bethel tree stands
on the height of land OF commercial
Main street but d few steps to the
north and right OF the railroad pass

of the old-time Colonial architecture.
This Bethel elm has attained its
maturity and that, perhaps, as long
ago as 35 years, yet it is today CLOTH
ed in a luxurious foliage and with on
ly here and there dead twig in
sight.
When it is recalled that the tree of
any species or variety that has a cir
conference of its trunk, at the regu-
lated height of measurement, of 10
feet, is of unusual size the greatness
of this Bethel tree Is seen in the
statement that at five feet from the
ground the circumference OF its trunk
is Is feet and two inches.
The tree stands on slight slope
and this measurement was made on
the lower or south side.
II might be said that this measure
ment of the circumference Of a tree
is made at five feet from the ground
for the one purpose Of comparison.

There is no plot. There is no climax.
There is no problem. There is no, love
making. SO, says the thrill-jaded
reader. nothing happens. On the con-
trary, replies the conscientious re-
viewer. things are happening all the
time. Because one does not gulp te-
basco. shall we therefore say that he
never eats? Or, if he refrains from
"stone fences" and from Kipling's
weird champagne and curacao. shall we
say that he never drinks? Life is not
ali thrills and climaXes. and neither IS
the literature which best portrays IT.
We therefore greatly commend TINS
story Of the vacation experiences OF
New England girls in the Far West. II
is long way from Beacon street 10

distance skilfully and gives US an ac-
count Of precisely what we suppose
would be the emotions and doings Of
iust such persons in just such circum-
stances. For fresh air and sunshine,
in hearts and lives as well as on the
plains and among the mountains. and
for an incessant succession OF incidents
which interest and amuse and irresstl-

next. the reader may turn to this book
with confidence that he or she viii not

Putnam sons.
There is a refreshing unconventional
ity in this powerful romance. Again
and again the chief characters do the
very things which they ought not TO do:
according to the recognized canons OF
story telling. and they leave undone
the things which. according TO the same
rules. they ought inevitably 10 do;
wherefore. there is much good in them!
We must confess a slight feeling OF
surprise, even Of disappointment, at
the first few departures from the
beaten track. There were opportunities
for thrilling climaXes, but the cllmaXes
were omitted. Then we wondered II
the author had failed TO perceive her
chance TO make big scenes. But finally
we realized that she was doing the
thing deliberately. with benson afore-
thought. and was thus making her story
seem far more natural and lifelike than
il could have been with the stereotyped
entrances and exits.
Thus it is intensely dramatic, but
not a bit theatrical. II is complex
problem novel. without trace OF the
problem. There are things in almost
every chapter which you do not like,
and yet you like il all tremendously.
The theme is one of the oldest and
most trite. but every phase of it seems
as new as the first sunrise in the Gar
den of Eden. II is fresh. clean, pow
crful and intensely interesting tale;
