duced a muffled roll Of drums at the
conclusion Of his carefully worked out
September" In Glamour" Mr.. w. B.
Maxwell used tho war ~ q convenient
means Of getting his hero out Of dis

(Doran). draws the same familiar con-
trast between English society before
and after the outbreak Of hostilities.
Robin Linnet is q fresh, athletic
Cambridge student, q very typical
young English gentlemen who remains
in the background during most Of the
story. He only attains heroic stature
at the close, when. with thousands Of
other young men like himself, he gives
up his life in the early days Of the war.
His mother. Lady Grote, Is distinctly
the outstanding figure Of the novel.
Witty, active and unconventional, she
loves to gather about herself rebels
and iconoclasts, human freaks and

Page, DR.. Joseph Goricar, who was con-
nected with the diplomatic service Of
the Austro-Hungarian Empire for four
teen years, denounces the aggressive
policy Of the Vienna Foreign Office. Dr..
Goricar, Slovsne by birth, sympathizes

against the tyrannical ruling German
and Magyar cliques. He served for
time as consul at Belgrade. and testitfies
from his own experience that the Aus
trian government instructed its officials
in Serbia to pursue policy of espionage

''That is true" Felicie answered.
Monsieur is right And what are
the signs that it is going to arrive?"
"In the year 1000," I said, what
convinced the people of the imrni-
nence Of the catastrophe was the

Felicie looked out Of the window
and remarked:
"The sun was never yellower than
it is to-day. A dirty yellow. So it
might be"
She returned three hours later
heavily laden. After putting her
packages on the table, she said to
me:
Monsieur, I got these for 366
francs"
"F'or 366 francs, Ell! That's some
money! But, then, you didn't pay?"
II didn't pay because monsieur
didn't give me any money. But the
market men put your orders on their
books and said that they would send
in bills at the end of the week."
Didn't you tell them that the end
of the world was coming at o'clock,
at the same time abusing them for
their rapacity?"

"Is monsieur sure that such things
will happen when the end of the
world comes?"
Absolutely sure, For it was like
that in the year 1000, when the end
of the world was expected and
everybody believed that it would ar

the silver ornaments from his lance

Nevertheless, she objected:

who, as Miss Wells archly says, was
, always "in the pink Of condition" This
young man gave his beautiful and tiger
lsh wife carte blanche in charge ac-
counts, but declined to provide her
with spending money. Not that there
was any deep reason for her desire to
jingle pennics-and merely wanted to
pay cash for things now and then. For

1t would be more entertaining if we
could have more mystery and less finan-

We are struck by the fact that
Mr.. AIDE Is essentially what is
Known by some as "a homely philoso-

animal are on the fire In response to-
tho wishes Of q customer, who simply
will not have his flet underdone.
In tho eyes of Mr.. AIDE the noblest
work Of God Is an American business
man who has laid by something more
than IN umbrella and q pair Of rub
bers. Art and Culture are distinct
Blshs. They are the province of young
men with long hair and fat ladies, who

clined to believe 1t, the rumor has
reached his ear Of the existence of
peoples who would rather hear "Rigo-

While 1t is true that Mr.. AIDE some

Decidedly to-day she is a girl who

that fact to add:
Don't you know, Felicie, what
happens when the end of the world
arrives? People give away every
thing they have. They take no
thought for the morrow. That is
very natural, isn't it, since there
will be no tomorrow? They occupy
