correction. According to Mrs. Wylie
it was the tobacco manufacturers who
made the statement that 95 per cent

common things of life and in which we see many of our own struggles de- picted. A happy family consisting of the erector of the church and his wife and daughter. The rector is so bound up in the work of his parish and in trying to restore the splendors of his church that he may be said to live in different sphere of action and may al most be accused of selfishness in per-< hitting his wife to assume the burden of all mundane things, The wife, who is of the aristocracy, rejoices in the love of her husband and daughter. Her romance came to her late in life The daughter is sweet girl, but like mosts girls, her chief aim and delight in lif@ is the eternal dress question. If it was not for money, or, rather, the lack Of money, there would have been very little ground for this story. The want of little fineries, going into debt 10 obtain them, leads to complications in the tangled web that never con ceived they could be involved in such difficulties. But we will not not en-
 deavor to tell all the story so that the reader will still have some interest in reading the book. As we proceed with
 the book, we are still on common ground and can sympathize with the leading character in her sorrow in the loss of
 her mother. And then, who doesn't love lover? She has her romance. If We are not cynic, we delight in young loves dream. The reader will enjoy many pleasant moments in perusing the
 pages of ''The Beloved Sinner" and
 the cookies of his heart will be warmed
 and he will begin to feel that the whole
 human family is akin and that his ex-
 periences in life differ very little from those of his fellows

LITERATURE AND ART
Conducted by LEW HEAD

THE DARK PEoPLE.p Ernest Poole last sojourn in Russia, from which he returned a little over a year ago, has enabled us to acquaint our selves, through his papers recently published in magazines, with the Rus sian people, as one Of America's lead ing nOvelists sees them. For the au- thor of "The Harbor" and His Fam ily' is a keen analyst of human char acter. Poole's tour of Russia was, perhaps, as comprehensive and studi- ous as any ever attempted by a mod ern writer, and his studies of the leaders, the cities, the priests, the vil- lages, the farms and the peasants, dark people, of Russia, as set down in The Dark People" is one of the most enlightening collections of such writings l have ever read.
 My sympathies fly easily to the Rus sian peasant. and my reading of this series of papers has been a warm souled one. Itfs easy to believe. now, that the ultimate analysis of the Russian dilemma seems not to lie in it's

stout little heart sank at the sight of it.. Many times during the three years following she was on the point of giving up and going back east, but she stuck it out bravely, teaching school to SUD- port herself and making many friends, and one enemy.
 Unconsciously, for she still believed herself in love with Wellington, she was comparing him with the sterner, more virile men of her new homo, es pecially with the man who had leased her apparently valueless land that bor- dered his own land, and was retaining both from the sand enemy. And when the time came that the eastern fortune and her eastern lover sought her, she found that she had reclaimed her own 1 nature as well from the undeveloped egoism of a luxury-loving girl to the l broad sympathy of a fine woman.

{ VALUE OF DIAMONDS

The value of diamonds cannot be determined by absolute standard Weight, cut, brilliancy, color and per lection of the stones are factors that must be considered in estimating the value, which is subject to fluctuation- Colorless stones bring higher prices than off-colored stones but if decided tints of red, green or blue are present they may increase the value abnormal ly. The value ordinarily increases in a. ratio increasing with the weight, but this rule does not. hold good for the largest stones, the prices of which can not be fixed. Diamonds in the rough usually average SS to $15 the carat for the run of the mine.
