A faint smile fitted across old

Youth! Railways thinks it knows!
A faint note of passion had
crept into the Laird's tones. In
his desperation, he decided to

WOMAN TRIUMPHANT. BY V. Blasco
Ibanez. New York: e. p. Dutton &
Co.
woman Triumphant" by the au-
thor of the -Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse" is a translation from
the Spanish title, LA MajG Des-
nuda- 1t is a story morbid In parts.
and exceedingly frank IN others,
of an obsession for the nude on
the part of a great painter, the
result Of an intense admiration for
a celebrated painting by Goya,
which hangs in the entrance to the
Prado Museum in Madrid.
The artist, Renovales, filled with
the worship of the Goya, and de-
irving his ideal of female perfec-
tion from that picture. came to hate
his wife while she lived, and for
sook her for the Countess Alberica.
After the death of his wife, Reno
wales experiences a change of
heart: the countess no longer holds
attraction for him, and he becomes
absorbed in an overwhelming pos
thumous love for the dead woman.
The theme itself is startlingly
original. but the great merit of the
book lies in the mastery develop
ment of the deep moral purposes of
the author, in his minute attention
to each detail of character exposi-
tion, and his ability to make the
reader instantly responsive thereto.
"Woman Triumphant" is a better
story than the -Four Horsemen,"
and far superior to mare Nos
trum." The translation from the
Spanish. by Hayward Koniston, is
excellent.

JAPANESE WALNUT MAKES

he Japanese walnut offers possi.
oilities for landowners who are seek
! ing to plant nut trees for shade or
other purposes, say specialists of the
United States Department of Aeri-
culture. 1t is nearly as hardy as the
oiack walnut and is by no means m
common in Northern and Eastern
states, where it is especially appropri-
ate tor farm and door-yard planting
FOR the present, seeding trees will
have to be relied upon almost entirely
as very few budded or grated trees
are available
This nut has been confused with the
PERSIAN or so-called English walnut.
aithough the two are quite unlike. The
Japanese is dwarfish species, with
dull green rough leaflets often as many
as IS or II to the leaf, and bears nuts
IN racemes of dozen or more.
The shells are thinner than those of
the black walnut, but thicker than
those of the better Persian walnuts.
The flavor of the kernals is much like
that of the American butternut.

while from 4 to has been considered
good average by florists using the
imported bulbs.
The United States last year import
ed 100000 lily bulbs from Japan at
an expense of approximately $780,:
600. In addition to the better results
and saving of expense, lily plants
propragated from seed at home are
found to be almost free from diseases
which infest the foreign bulbs. Con-
trary to general impression, it has
been found that the lily is perfect,
