TT would be thousand pities if book
Il by Pelham Grenville Wodehouse fell
below the agreeable presage of his name
Every vocable of it has best seller quail
ity guaranteeing that the bearer cannot be
tedious or tasteless.
Happily A DdmSel in Distress does not
keep the word of promise to the ear, yet
break it to the hope" 1t has no message
even under the microscope its sole mis-
sion is to amuse and entertain. 1t does
amuse and entertain; though every page is
rank with impossibilities, they are so veri-
tably told that the reader accepts them
without batting an eye. They are delight
fully whimsical-diverting is a mild word
for them, though l can fancy they will
waken seon In the breasts of such true
blue Britons as think Gods purpose in
creating the universe was to prepare fit
setting for county families. Yet the Wode:
house darts are not tipped with gall and
venom; rather they are bits Of excellent
fooling, shot, hit or miss, at a rather
touchy and bellicose John Bull. ...
Witness this portrait of Percy, Lord
Belpher, brother to the heroine and fat,
very fat: ALREADY second edition of his
chin had been published, and the perfectly
cut morning coat which encased his upper
section bulged out in an opulent semicir-
Gle. He wore a little mustache which
seemed more a complaint than mustache.
His face was red, his manner dictatorial
and he was touched in the wind Take
him for all in all, he looked like bit of
bad news"
Naturally George Bevan did not like
Percy. George was American, a young
ish bachelor, in London looking after bis
latest musical comedy, which had hit the
British public right where it lived. The
girl who had taken his heart by storm at
the second look had sought refuge In his
cab from the pursuing Percy. George not
only lied for her, but fought for her like
gentleman. The fighting turned out to be
great piece of luck, since through it and
Percy's consequent appearance in the po-
lice court George got clue to the name
and local habitation of the charmer who
had cleverly eluded him. Afterward the
scene oscillates betwixt London and
Hampshire to be more exact, the
neighborhood of Belpher Castle, the seat
of Lord Marchmoreton, father to Bevan's
enchantress, who turns out to be the Lady
Maud March. Also he is fine figure of q
comic opera Earl His obsession is rose
gardening, his cross writing and living up
TO the family history, under the eagle eye
Of Lady Caroline, his widowed sister.

From his tremendous adventure in Russian Fiction,
THE SECRET CITY, Mr.. Walpole turns back to the
quiet England of his youth JEREMY is happy
tale of little boys lfe 1t possesses rare double
appeal. Not only for the adult does it create the
illusion of his YOUTH but it unfolds for the child
genuinely fascinating experiences with real people
and things. The beauty, tenderness and gaiety of
childhood is elusive thing; in the magic by which
he makes it live again in JEREMY, Mr.. Walpole's
many admirers will find a new revelation Of his
genius Published at time when this distinguished
young English author is here for his first visit to
Amerca since childhood, JEREMY will have an un-
usual interest for all who prize the finer things

EX-KAISER TO MOVE IN FALL.
Expected to Take Possession of tic
 Huis DoOIn in Early Autumn.

The Hague, Aug. 21-Negotiations for the purchase of the EX-kaiser' s new residence, the Huis Doorn, have been completed. It is not yet known when he will move, but it will prob ably be in the early Fall, as the former owner of the estate, Baroness vOn Heemstra de Beaufort, has stipulated that the new house which she had purchased shall be ready by that time. There has been consider able excitement in the vicinity of Amerongen and Doorn for some days in view of the rum OrS of the ex- kaiser's intention of buying the estate. He visited Doorn last week and since then the negotiations have been proceeding quickly.
 In well informed circles here the idea is prevalent that he has charged his mind regarding his plans for re- turning to the Fatherland and has decided on a policy of wait and see' in the hope that the project for his trial may finally fall through.
 The Huis Doorn is a beautiful es- tate dating from the fourteenth cen tury. It has changd' hands many times, but has always belonged to people we'll known in history.

New York, Aug. 21.-There were two odd romances on the liner Ar gentina which arrived yesterday from Mediterranean ports. Miss Carmen Tortino, an Italian girl, was met at the pier by Pasquale Cassoni, a con- tractor of Bridgeport Conn, whom she had never seen but to whom she had become betrothed. While visit Ing his brother CasSoni saw a photo graph of Miss Tortino and wrote to her. Their correspondence led to his proposal which she accepted by letter. They went to Bridgeport, where Cas- sonl said the ceremony would be per formed at once.
 Miss Julia Benderelli, of Salonica. another passenger, was met by Mi chacl Nicholas, a banker of Oak Leaves, Pa. They had not seen each other for sixteen years. Miss Ben- dereli was then eight years old and was selected by the parents of the two to be married to Nicholas. He came to this country, prospered and sent for her. They hurried 10 Oak Leaves

 Last April President POincare ap- pointed Mgr Ruch, Bishop of Nancy, to be Bishop of asbourg in suc- cession to the German Bishop there.

PALMER EXCUSES RADICALIsM

Washington Dec. 22.-The Re-
publican Publicity Association, thru
it's President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from its Washington
Headquarters:
The Bolshevists, the l. w. w.
and kindred apostles OF unrest,
have been quoting President Wilson
in support of their propaganda
against orderly government. Now
they have an apt quotation offered
them from the writings of Attorney
General ralmer, who is particularly
charged with support of the govern
ment, prosecution of offenders, and
preservation of law and order. In
his report Mr.. Palmer says that it
is clearly recognized that the present
unrest and tendency toward radical
ism arise from social and economical
conditions that are of greater con-
sequence than the individual agita-
tors If that sentence means any
thing at all, it means that social
and economic conditions in this
country are worse than the agito-
tors, and that bolsheyism in justified
as a means of escaping from those
terrible economic and social condi-
tions.
What can Mr.. Palmer say ii the
next batch OF socialistic pamphlets
bears on its cover the above quota
ton from his report? What can he
say if the apostles OF unrest arc
brought into court and set up in
their defense that they are merely
trying TO cure the awful social and
economic conditions which Mr.. Pal
mer has portrayed?
Mr.. Palmer says that those de-
plorable social and economic condi-
tions are clearly recognized, by
whom? Are they recognized by the
hundreds Of thousands Of wage earn
ers. whoH according to merchants in
all parts Of tho country, will not be
satisfied to buy ardiaayy substantial
clothing but demand expensive silk
shirts, shoes, clothing, etc., Are
they recognized by mon who demand
a six-hour day, a flve-day week, and
so per cent increase in pay? Are
they recognized by tho government
statisticians who are ready to demon
strate that America Is now enjoying
the greatest industrial, commercial
and financial prosperity In its his
