enough of fresh complication to keep
1t alive and enough of humor to keep
the reader alive also.
SCANDAL. A Novel. By Cosmo Hamil-
ton, author of THE Blindness of
Virtue, etc. Illustrations by Rich
ard Cutter. Boston: Little, Brown &
Co.
Being married "in name only
though q very unconvincing makeshift
to the average reader-is not uncom-
mon device Of the novelist. But for an
author to set out boldly with the prop
osition of an openly assumed marriage
between a respectable pair OF young
folks in high metropolitan society.
where no marriage at all exists-that
appears to be the plain case of an
author simply hunting for trouble.
This, however. is exactly what Cosmo
Hamilton has done in the development
Of Scandal The center of the COM
motion stirred up here Is a girl OF the
girls whose youth. good looks. Sheba
trappings, wealth. and all the rest OF it
bundled together. are not enough to
have saved her from the sound wallop-
ing that some wise old cave man of a
dad would have given her had she only
come along early enough to benefit by
such wholesome discipline. OF course.
in the exercise of her rights and privi-
leges the little fool gets herself into
the near neighborhood of a nasty scan
dal. Then, what does she do but take
on perfectly decent and chival-
rous fellow. whom she declares to be
her husband. You will enjoy reading
about the very efficient way in which
this pseudo husband takes over his job
and sees it through. Very spirited
work. that develops a pretty love story
and a marriage finally that holds
water, SO to speak.
BALFOUR, vIyIANI AND JOFFRE.
By Francis w. Halsey. editor Of
Great Epochs In American History"
etc. New York: Funk & Wagnalls
Company.
For Mr.. Halsey to make this first
hand account of the various commits
sions that have within the past few
months come from Europe to the United
States Is generally useful piece of
work. In compact and convenient form
it places in a permanent high light
both the body and the spirit of this
notably historic interchange Of COM
mon aims and ideals and determine
tions. Here. in their first warmth, are
the most significant of the speeches of
Balfour. Viviani and Joffre. with those
also Of the Italian. the Belgian and the
Russian commissioners. just as these
were delivered at one or another point
in the circuit of this country. The
book includes, also, an account Of
American warships and soldiers in
France and England. The whole fur
nishes an orderly and authentic sum-
mary of season of historic events
summary that is highly valuable both
history and as momentous current

In the south. as stated, the immediate
problem is quite different. The great
cotton-growing belt long has been too
dependent upon outside sources for its
food needs. This leads not only to
expensive living costs. but places a
burden on the transportation which
it is essential to avoid in war time.
Bradford Knapp is chief Of the office
Of extension work in the south. and
Miss Mary e. Cresswell directs the
work of organizing women. Already
500 agents are at work in counties In

power to expand to unheard-of pro-
priations. These two Offices. co-ordi-

attacking their problems in divergent
ways. because the needs of the sections
they cover are recognized to be diner
ent.
In the north and west the food prob
lem is one of transportation. efficient
distribution. avoidance of waste, main
tenance of food standards and educa-
ton in preparation and conservation.
In the south the pressing problem Is
adequate production and conservation
of enough food to relieve the burden Of
importation from the food stores OF
other sections of the country.
Hence the northern office, directed by
C. B. Smith, with Miss Florence E.
Ward in charge Of extension work with
women in the thirty-three northern
and western states, has outlined a dis
tinctive program. This emergency pro-
gram to be developed by the 1872 homo

odd county agents already working in
rural districts, is to be worked out
with the use of a special appropriation
of 81. 900 900. The Office hopes to stimu-
