THE ROOM WITH THE TASSELS. BY
Carolyn Wells, author Of "FaullS-

George II. Doran Company.
1t must be an enormous tax to write
a ghost story-to give FEASIBILITY to
that which ones reason wholly rejects,
to make the thousand little necessary
appeals to minds that are in a con-
slant state of denial and skeptlcism.
The writer of this ghost story does
not appear to have realized the exact
ing character Of her task. She has
gone about the matter In a gay ex-
pansiveness. choosing from the wide
world at will and assembling the parts
of the tale in a fortuitous jumbling Of
events. Modern psychic demonstra-
lions hobnob here with the FRANKS OF
the oulja toy, and old Italian methods
Of taking Off by secret poison rub
elbows with the drug shop around the
corner. A medieval ghost stalks
about the house Of Vermont farmer,
and one of the innumerable variants
of Sherlock Holmes gives touch of
scientific secret service work to the
older guessing methods of detecting
criminals. The least probable person
in the group presented here turns out
to be the guilty one. after laborious
efforts to trick the reader into think
Ing 1t Is some one else. However, 1t
sums to a ghost story-of sorts.

The funeral Of the two former

never do. Among these is to
kindle a fire with kerosene oil,
to walk on a railroad, to attempt
to get on a moving train, to point
a gun or revolver at another, to
put his name on another mans
note, to keep his savings in an
old stocking under the bed, to
