beginning Of that of Catherine the Great.
Catherine said, Eve use our tongues to
keep our heads on" But either the rest
Of them didn't realize this or used them
wrong; at any rate there are very few
heads to be seen at the close of the book.
One of her courtiers said after commit
ting murder to order, "A crime is not
really a crime in sovereign the way it is
in an individual" Catherine had to muir
der Peter or let him murder her, and SO
she took him when he was of his guard,
as he celebrated his birthday forsooth, but
the occasion demanded it and so there
could be no sentimental quibbling.
Whether crime is crime in a sover-
elgn or not, it is certain that Catherine
got no happiness from being rid of her
husband.
at was as the ghostly chancellor had
predicted, she stood upon the crest of the
world alone. And as she herself had pre-
dicted, the destruction within herself had
been complete. Father, mother, husband,
friends, favorites, lovers-they were all
gone, and their going had made free the
path Of progress for her. She could
think very clearly, but she could not feel.
She was merely machine of state now
that wore the gems Of woman"
Miss Underwood has made very real
characters Of all the people that she has
handled, snd she has not attempted too
many. Her treatment Of the various love
affairs is convincing without being dis
tressingiy frank, which one appreciates
especially m novel where the natural
tendency must have been to give too much
OF the truth rather than too little. There
has not been more exquisite writing in
any novel Tor some time, none in which q
lover Of words could find more aesthetic
pleasure for the color and beauty Of the
phrasing. The series of letters which
passed between Nicholas Murieyich and
Catherine are n brilliant example Of how
strongly and swiftly characters reveal
themselves through this method, and they
give Miss Underwood q splendid oppor-
tunity Of making use Of her power over
words.
Any one who makes the mistake of Sc
Letting this book as a relaxation will find
to his horror that he has launched him
self on sea Of complications almost be-
yond the power Of the average intellect
to solve And this raises the question of
what the average intellect is. There will
be those who have always rather prided
themselves on their intellects who will
never understand why Frederick the Great
wanted Catherine done away with and
who can never fathom the events of the
night Of the masked ball.

"Miss Mink's Soldier"

TINE stories in Alice Hogan Rices new
Il volume, Miss MinPs Solder, are
pleasant, clean and entertaining, but not
notable, save in the case Of the title story,
which is admirable. They show to a Ger
tain extent the qualities found in Mrs.
Rice's former work-whimsicality of hu-
NOR, human sympathy and pathos and a
Gghtness of style which puts no strain on
The readers mentality. Yet there is felt
. degree of difference. The humor is less
spontaneous and unstudied, a bit more
conscious and strained, and the pathos
verges rather more toward sentimentality
than in her earlier successes. The stories
u the present collection will furnish mild
entertainment, but they will not stir the
reader to laughter or to tears, nor will
they leave him anything especial to re-
member.
But Mss kink's Solder, the initial
story, is of distinctly higher order than
the others. 1t seems to spring from gen.
urne emotion on the part of the author,
hence it arouses real sympathy on The
part Of the reader. The Character draw
ing is accurately artful and the motiva-
ton hfelike- Miss Mink seems alive, as
she confronts her duty.
Miss Mink sat in church with Inns
compressed and hands tightly clasped in
her black alpaca lap and stubbornly re-
fused to comply with the request that
was being made from the pulpit She was
q small desiccated person with a sharp
chm and sharper nose and narrow,
faded eyes that through the making Of
innumerable buttonholes had come to re-
semble them"
Her struggles Of soul concerning her re-
sponsibiiity toward the soldiers are hu-
morousiy pathetic and the whole seems
real and appealing Mss Mink's Soldier
is story that one might be proud of hav-
ing written, and one who can produce
that should not waste her time on the
amiable unrealities that characterize
much of Miss Rice's work.
In contrast to Miss Mink, Miss Lucinda,
the central figure in TIE Wild Oats Of Q
SPiaster, is patiently constructed for pur-
poses of fiction. There is no character
study here, merely csricature that does not
even amuse.
The studies in lowly life, such as Cupid
Goes Summing, a romance in rear Ninth
street; Hoodooed, an analysis of colored
superstition, and Pop, story Of noun
taineer and his daughter, are better than
some Of the others. A Dorling of Aisfor-
tsne seems very artificial. A Natter Of
FIe~dskip and TIE SorI Of o Sana Sos
are Chinese and japanese prints.
The value Of the book lies in the title
story, . narrative which is allowed to de-
velop with reality and with art, and which
is free from the ordered optimism and
cheerfulness of ending ap-
parent in most of Mrs. Riee's work.

Potts today. ut was not my intention

service the Washington Association
has undertaken to develop interest in
the breeding of more Army mounts
thought it was my duty to attend and
cooperate in the work in any way
possible.

but Washington is taking very little
interest In them. The gate receipts
Tuesday and yesterday were smaller
than the first two-day receipts of any

Gen. James A. Buchanan. retired
Army officer; Gen. Leonard Wood, Ad-
niral Cary Grayson and many other
prominent officials took an active part
in perfeoting the organization which
was to undertake this important war
service. A new plant was built at
Arlington, just beyond the Highway
bridge: special military classes were
arranged and prizes were offered that
were designed to attract exhibitors
It is not the intention to pay Jay. for Or any .hs

Mrs. William G. McAdoo and a COM
mittee of women worked in the interest

Mrs. Wilson attended the opening OF
the show Tuesday. 1t was believed
that this Endorsement given the patri-

HORSE SHOW, SOLAR,
FINANCIAL FAILURE
Not Paying Expenses, Much
Less Raising Money for
Red Cross.
IMPROVEMENT HOPED FOR

Washington's annual spring horse snow,
being held this week. as Red Cross ben
eft, hass proved a failure SO far frc!n a
financial standpoint.
Unless there is an improvement it; al
tendance during the remainder OF sne
week the show will not pay expenses
much less earn anything for war work.
The management is thoroughly dis
coursSed. and so are the exhibitors, who
have come from many states. The show
it generally is agreed, is one of the very
best ever held in the capital. The attend
ance has not been up to pre-war times.
Double Purpose in Show.
Not only was it hoped to earn good
sized sum for donation to the Red Cross.
but the show was organized with larger
that of bringing together exhibitors ana
Army representatives to encourage the
breeding of horses for Army needs.
The situation regarding the supply
of horses IN this country admittedly IS
serious, Before America got into the
war the allies took from this country
more than two million horses and no
embargo was placed on mares. the re-
suit is that the country's brood STOCK
has been seriously depleted
Organizers Of the local show, taking
into account the fact that Washington
is located in the center of an important
horse-breeding section and that the
seat of government is here, believed
the capital to be the logical place In
which to inaugurate a campaign Tor
increasing the nations supply OF mill
tary mounts.

14-Year-old Girl, Fine Rider.

The show has served to introduce
Juvenile rider this year, Miss Becky
Lanier Of Greenwich, Conn, who has
proved equally at home when taking
the jumps and in the saddle classes. She
is but fourteen years old and one of
the very best riders at the show.
Miss Constance Vauclain of Philadel-
phia is driving her horses in the har-
ness classes with better form than
ever, and she has scored several very
impressive victories over Judge Will

probably has the biggest reputation of
all in the world. -
