"Miss Maitland,
Private Secretary"
By w. B. MCCORMICK.

ITO most writers of criminal tales one
Il mystery is quite enough to serve as
the basis of the story they have to tell
but in Miss Maitland, Pirate Secretary
Geraldine Bonner is much more lavish.
There is the overhanging threat Of Chap
man Price TO injure the Janneys, whose
daughter he had married and treated bad
ly; there is the matter of the theft of Mrs.
Janney's jewels; Miss Maitland's suspi-
cious conduct In her many visits to dingy
lodging house in the purlicus Of Green
witch Village to be accounted for, and
the abduction Of Bebita Price, Chapman's
daughter, is the final touch of bewilder
ment for the reader.
The scene of the tale is chiefly in and
about Grasslands, one of those luxurious
country houses on the North Shore Of
Long Island that seems to be made for
snything but mysteries and crime. When
the private detectives engaged by the JAN
neys to unravel the mystery of the loss Of
the jewels fail in their task the Janneys's
lawyers call on Molly Rabbits to under
take that task. Those of Miss Bonner's
devoted readers who remember The Girl
at Central will recall Molly, her clever
detective work in the Hesketh case and
her engaging manner of telling story.
Molly proves to be her familiar self again
in this tale and with the aid of Miss Matt
lands devoted admirer, Dick Ferguson,
solves the four complications of the plot
What those solutions are we have no in
tention of telling here. None of them
are revealed until Miss Bonner wishes
them to be In their natural course and
with that skill of which she is a master.
The story is told with an easy charm of
style that never obtrudes itself and yet
which is an ever present delight The
characters are very human and the milieu
is of piece with them. AS q tale of
mystery We place this definitely at the
front rank of criminal stories.

lay and as Nurse Benson enters the TIb-
benham home and carries the young Cap
tain off his feet. We may as well confess
that she shows signs of carrying rs along
with him.
1t is easy to supply the missing links
in the comedy for yourself, but you can
not easily imagine the cleverness of the
byplay. You will ike the Tibbenhams,
especially the father, who, having made
Tibbenham's Tonic Tablets and many
millions thereby, showered jewels upon his
wife until she gave the fanciful impress
sion of being the wife of burglar who
had just made an unusually successful
"haul" The situation is particularly
amusing when the Marrisons, house guests
of the Tibbenhams and Adventures on the
side, whose own game Is being spoiled by
Nurse Benson's subjugation Of the son OF
the house, take it upon themselves to show
her up as the impostor that she is.
Il haven't broken in on the converse
tionf Mr.. Tibbenham asked, looking from
face to face. And then some association
in his mind prompted the further query:
WAS anybody telling funny storyf'
His wife motioned to him to stay.
mo, they wasn't she said. %Mr. and
Mrs. Marrison was just going to be kind
enough to tell US something very I'M
pleasant"
There follows Nurse Benson's summary
discharge, the rapid healing of Capt. Tib-
benham's knee and his own appearance in
chance conjunction with that of his father
at Lord Messiger's in Berkeley Square
The sight of the nurse in Lord Messiger's
arms serves to complicate matters further
for the two angry gentlemen, one seeking
the whereabouts of the charming young
person whose villainy the other is bent
upon exposing. The end sees Lady Gillian
and Capt. Tibhenham where they should
be-in each others arms. ...-..... -. =.

written in collaboration with r. C. Carl
ton, which has had successful run on the
London stage and is, if we may depend
upon that indispensable but delightful
person the blurbist, scheduled for early
appearance In America As a novel it
makes an excellently amusing play, and
with the additional intrigues of stage
craft must be highly captivating. 1t does
not suffer in the least from being perfectly
obvious from beginning to end; in fact,
one of the incest things about it is that
You feel all along quite as if you were
writing it yourself.
The opening scene takes place in the
Berkeley Square house of Lord Messiger,
lately appointed president of the League
of Self-Denial. In order to further his
scheme of making war time as unpleasant
as possible for everybody he is on the
verge of public speaking campaign of
the country. His orphaned niece, the

various war activities, finds the exagger-
ated sacrifieial atmosphere of the house
hold distasteful and herself rather at
loose ends. Her engagement has been re
ported to Stairway Brooke, a groundless
rumor end not particularly pleasing to
either. Lady Gillian has become interested
in the picture of Capt. Tibbenham and
tales of the bravery which won him the
Victoria Cross. She tries to persuade
Brooke to effect a meeting, but he refuses
for some reason best known to himself.
At this point Nurse Benson, worthy,
homefy and middle aged, is called to the
bedside of her sick mother on the eve Of
taking mp the case of Capt. Tibbenham's
wounded knee and comes to Lady Gillian
for the address of another nurse. Lady
Gillian offers to procure the substitute and
send her to the Tibbenhams' country es-

The Idea Of League Of Nations, by b.

must rest. Both volumes argue for such
league; both are skilfully reasoned and
beautifully lucid.

Ellis Wife's Job"

GONE stories clutch a writer by the
~ throat and demand to be written.
They are the ones worth while, the ones
that live In other cases the author sits
down at ease and picks out theme that
is timely and thereupon proceeds to hang
a tale.
His VTes job, by Grace Sartwell
Mason, is a timely story. A good many
married women held jobs during their
husbands absence in France, and the pub
lie would presumably be interested to
learn how they succeeded and what they
did when their spouses returned. This is
n story about one such wife, an e1trava-
CANT, pampered creature who stood in the
way of her husbands career and was an
economic parasite. When he goes to
France she enters the business world and
learns many things of which she had been
ignorant - ''' ~ -
The latter part of the book moves too
swiftly to be credible. For this woman
who begins as cipher progresses so fast
that she is sent on an important mission
to France as a result-all in less than
the year and half of Americas part in
the war. The book Is entertaining and
idle wives would profit by reading it.
The story appeared as a serial in the
Womon's Home Companion.

sketch of the subiert. For instance, he
examines briefly but carefully the mat
ter of national sovereignty and shows that
practically nearly all nations submit to
striking limitations upon their sovereign
power. And he makes the point most
forcibly by quoting remark of c. Delisle
Burns, that governments, If they are not
continually reminded of their sacred
sovereignty, tend to act as though it mat
tered very little" A particularly interest
ing feature of the book is the authors ex-
ceptional knowledge of the American Con-
stitution and the controversy which ae-
eompanied its adoption. To find an Eng
hsh writer who can refer TO chapter and
verse of The Federalist is rare .ti
The content of The Idea of a League Of
Nations first appeared as an article or
articles in the Atlantic Monthly. Mr..
Wells had as his eollaboratorS in the prep
aration of this argument eight men, in
GLIDING several of the most distinguished
of living Englishmen. The eight are Wis
count Grey, Lionel Curtis, William
Archer, H. Wiekham Steed, A. E. Tim
mern, J. A. Spender, Viseount Bryce and
Gilbert Murray. We have called the re-
suit an argument, but it is equally an ex-
position of considerable brillianee and no
little hLmor. One example must suffice.
"The whole process which, on a vaster
scale, has brought Europe TO its present
plight may be seen In miniature among
the tribes of the Indian frontier" sug-
gest the authors. They proceed with q
picture of the Khyber Pass, where Pathan
tribesmen war necessarily with each other.
Coneeding that, once on time, these
feuds, carried on with knives and other
primitive weapons, may have been "bio-
logically good" and may have promoted
survival of the fttest, as conducted to-day
with long range, high velocity rifles they
amount to a war of determination. "The
question now is not whether the vendetta
is biologieally good, but WHITTIER the tribes
can at all survive under it; and weary Of
feials, at loss to solve the vexed prob
lem which they offer to the Government Of
India, have been heard to suggest that If
a few machine guns could be conveyed to
the village marksmen and installed in the
mud towers there would soon be no
frontier problem at ALL"

SUFFRAGE DECISION
COMES SATURDAY
Case, Argued Several Days
Ago, Scheduled for Final
Disposition.

Nashville, July 23-The right OF
women to vote in Tennessee hangs in
the balance until Saturday, when it is
practically certain that the noted
case of Col. j. J. Vertrees and others
versus the state board of elections
and the election board of Davidson
county will be decided.
This case Is a test case Of the re-
cent act of the legislature which con-
fers partial suffrage upon women of
Tennessee.
An injunction was granted by
Chancellor Newman recently enjoin-
ing the workings of the act by rea-
son of the separate ballot required.
The injunction was sustained by
reason of 1.-THE many infrmities Of
the bill" and the case was appealed
to the highest court.
While, of course, the national
amendment is subject to ratification
OF a majority Of the states, still the
legislative act allows women to vote
in municipal elections, and it is this
phase that is making the coming
election of decided interest in view of
the many municipal elections this
fall when the ballots of the women
Of Tennessee may have potent bear
ing upon election results.
