sistance Of the old slave States will be

Three Hills, the country home of Mary
Johnston, lies in the heart of the Allie
ghany Mountains, between Hot Springs
and Warm Springs, Virginia. The tradi-
tional character of a Colonial home has
been carried out in the broad hallway
running from one end of the house to the
other, flanked by rooms with polished
mahogany highboys and sofas, grand
fathers clock of Revolutionary period,
Chippendale chairs and Heppelwhite ia
bles, a dining room in Sheraton, carpeted
floors, with Persian rugs, lattieed built in
book cases and everywhere great blue Chi
nese bowls filled with deftly arranged
flowers. From the French windows of the
dining room, framed in chintz draperies,
the three hills which give the place it,
name lie in the distance, the purple shad-
ows softening the rich green of the thick
foliage, the white clouds lazily drifting
over them with the sleepy charm native to
the Virginia mountains.
The garden has brick walks winding in
and out among rows of marigolds and
zinnias, hollyhocks and china asters,
bachelors buttons, cockscombs, wallfow-
ers and other old fashioned blossoms

"Cake Upon the Waters"

ZOE ATKINS has succeeded in wrap
- ping one of the heaviest and most
complex facts of life in a piece of fiction
as light as a feather. Cake Upon the
Waters is perhaps the cleverest thing she
has done yet. The thistle down wrap
ping is peculiarly Miss Akinss own, but
the heavy problem concealed within be-
longs to all Of us, being the terrible eff
feet of money on its victims. People
who have money care so much more for
it than people who have none," Miss
Atkins says, and proves it by the case Of
a beautiful young widow, Kitty Daven-
ant, who was foolish and sweet and gen.
erous while she hadn't enough money to
go around, but became sensible and mean
and unlovely as soon as she fell into
fortune.
"Poor Kitty didn't know how wise a
person must be to possess without COM
placence that which others desire and can
not achieve. She did not know that no
man or woman can give carelessly, in
differently of that which he or she holds
as precious. 1--WE quote Miss Atkins
again.) That is, she didn't know it until
there came time when the fortune gave
signs of slipping from her grasp. Then
Kitty began to see herself as money had
made her.
"When I'm too poor to save any
money" she sighed, II suppose I'll be
beautiful giver again."
Kitty has numerous beaus and is al
ways doing something new and amusing.
Hers is fascinating personality in the
hands of an author who has learned the
art of making the most of such blessings
and who has also, from recent experience
with plays and scenarios, learned how to
make things follow one another in cor
rect and rapid style.
You will never know when you see
Kitty levelling pistol at an evident bur-
glar on the cover of the book just what
she Is trying to make him do. And yet
you might guess. She is making him
promise to go down to her farm in Vir-
ginia and take care of her horses. A
novel way of engaging servants, it would
seem, and almost infallible, but it doesn't
always work. We had friend who con-
sidered herself fortunate in having
thieving servant last winter. She ex-
acted a written confession and lay back
for few months rest. 1t did no good.
The maids span was but the usual few
weeks and it was probably the same with
Mrs Kitty's burglar. Even with the
penitentiary yawning in their faces they
manage to slip from our grasp.
1t is impossible to say any more about
Cake Upon the Waters, because SO much
of it is plot that we would uncover it at
every turn. The story is well conceived,
well named and well executed, and these
are surely the three requisites.

CUPPLEMENTING the questions and
~ answers of Robert w. Chambers in
the September Bookman we are in pos
session of the following:
Before there is democracy of read
ing MIR. Chambers is speaking
'there must be a democracy of education.
America can be made only what
it makes itself; but its capacity is unlim-
tied. If o-day it is 100 per cent. movie
nation it can become 100 per cent. read
ing nation, and l think it will become so.
1 would prescribe for the average man or
woman one book month-autobiogra
cal. The Undefeated, by Snaith,
and The Duchess Of Sioma, by Ernest
Goodwin, are good examples of realism
and romanticism. Both are splendid. 1t
makes no difference what readers read as

WE ignored the centenary of Her
w man Melville and we shall let
slip by in charitable silence the centenary
of George Eliot. But the 400th anniver-
sary of the first circumnavigation- of the
globe by Magellan in 1519-1522 has an
effect on our imagination; particularly
with air flights over the Atlantic in 1919.
We could reread with absorption Piga-

Last Things


I'm the end ons experiences only ones SELF
-Nietzsche.
Oh, chaos of a life consumed
By ceaseless days of thankless toll,
By tasks relinquished and resumed
In an nterminable coil,
Ger which necessity has kept
Its singing scourge suspended low.
And when the toer would have slept
Has smote a swift awakening blow.
From dreary dawns through dubious days,
To suen sunsets, waning dim.
The past's pale spectres haunt the ways,
The futures apparitions grim
Dead hopes wan ghosts, with smothered sghs,
And quckening apprehension's dread
Disastrous shapes, with warning cries
Of CULTS unknown that yawn ahead
What wrecks what ruins, lie behind!
What paths perplexed lead on before,
To bournes what wanderings shall find,
Beyond what seas, upon what shore?
Yet if, soul, the struggle seems
Without avail-hast thou not Song?
And Beauty's torch, to light thy dreams,
And Truths eternal courage strong?
