Ten American Girls from His
tory" by Kate Dickinson %Sweetser.
published recently by the Harpers.
offers for younger readers some
thing more than a glimpse into the
lives Of 10 notable girls whose ca
reers can never be forgotten for the
lessons Of loyalty. courage, patriot
ism and devotion which they so
finely exhibit. These sketches are
little biographies in exquisite NINA
ture, told with all the stOry-teller's
gift of compelling narrative so that
the heroines stand forth with life
like Characterization. The authors
aim has been to make young Ameri-
can readers realize, as they read
these true stories of achievement
along widely varying lines of work,
that history is more tnriln-g than
fiction. and that if they Will turn
from these short sketches 10 the
longer biographies from which the
facts Of these stories have been
taken, they will find interesting and
absorbing reading. Among the 10
heroines treated Of in the volume.

Pitcher are too familiar to call for
comment.
In Dorothy Quincy we have a
charming daughter of the Revolu-
ton. who heard the first gun fired
at Lexington. Hers is a romantic
story of hat grim prelude to our
national history. Equally breathless
and arresting is the story Of Eliza
beth Van Lew. of Civil war days
a girl who dared to risk everything
that the union might be preserved.
Ida Lewis, the ~girl-keeper of the
Lime Rock lighthouse. and Virginia
Reed, a heroine of the plains IN
pioneer days, are less widely known
but their stories are splendidly ro-
mantle. Clara Barton, the angel
of the battlefield" is today an in
spiration to thousands of women
who are .aboring for the Red Cross.
What mn a accomplish in
literature, on the stage. and on the
platform. is |instanced in the stories
Of Louisa NJ. Alcott, Clara Morris,
and Anne Dickinson.
Miss Sweetser has shown excel
lent judgment in the choice of her
heroines in Ten American Girls
from History and she has made
them live for US within the compass
of a single volume in a way that
evidences a happy combination of
the b~iographer's skill and the story
teller's art.

 When did you write to mother@' Echo answers: When" But the world knows when you will write to mother. When the heat and glamour And gaiety Of life have faded away and you need friend you will know where to look for the pity and care and love to be found nowhere else

OUR HELIGOLAND.

Rear Admiral Knight of the navy tells the government that Block Isl- and is greater as a defense than as a resort for the people.
 The admiral says: Both in char acter and il location Flock Island bears striking resemblance to Heli- goland."
 'I believe the strategic importance of this area (Montauk Point to Gay Head) can hardly be cverestimated, and that the problems of its defense and development should be taken I'D Immediately and pushe vigorously to completion-the developments. with certain exceptions, being held in allowance until provision has been made for its defense"
 The naval general board coincided in this opinion. and said: Block Isi- and, as the key position. should be rendered impregnsble, and should fur ther be equipped for use as a sub marine base and torpedo boat base in war"
 As defence to our coast and in- land water ways, and as a protection to New York. the importance oi Block Island is not to be questioned
 The importance of Block Island as key to the situation is widely rec oerized and should be made the chal- lenge to enfmies that Admiral Knight recommends.
