Julia Takes Her Chance" is a book
you will read because Julia makes
you. We have had almost enough
English settings lately, but this story,
though il is in and around London, is
so full of living people and their joys
and sorrows successes and failures,
that We were swallowed up in the
sense of humanity and cared little
where the people happened to live

chum Norah Malone. Nicholas Penti-

collectively, Pelman Barclay and, last
ly. Jane Graham.
You see. Julia wants to be an ac-
tress, and she has it in her, otherwise
Pelman Barclay. when he saw her at
ton Amateur Dramatic Society, would
not have chosen her for a clever little
part in his new play, then rehearsing-
all because she cried with her throat
and chin and eyes. whereas most girls
just wrinkle up their foreheads.
Ard Julia, much surprised and frank
ly admitting her timidity. takes her
chance"
But there are other chances in the
book-the chance" to be Lady
Henry Penryth-the chance" to be
Jane Graham-the chance" to be
back with Pelman Barclay and-yes,
there's another "chance," but you are
going to read the book and enjoy it
just as much as we did-and even
more, because you see, your job isn't
reading books.
The tale is not an attempt at mys-
terry. II is outspoken. Though it
keeps some of it's characters in sus-
pense it doesn't try to fool the reader,
but let's him in on all the funny little
incidents and all the mysterious little
happenings. II II one of the most
modest stories written in the first
person that we have ever read. We
feel that there is more than just L
Julia-I-. We become as intimate
with Julia's friends as she is and
there is a great deal of satisfaction
in that.
In Lord Harry and Nicholas we
have two real men with a very human
mixture of faults and good traits.
In Julia we have a girl who tries
to be fair to herself and every one else
who isn't afraid of work, and who
isn't afraid to take "her chance"
And the artistic "Buttered Buns
you will have many laugh over them.
No! they aren't infants. but grown
young women "all dressed up in beads
and embroidery scarfs and short hair
and long necks, and thick stockings
and sandals"
Get the book tomorrow and in the
evening settle down after dinner
early. because you will want to finish
before you wind the clock and set the
alarm and crawl into bed-and spend
a happy evening with Julia. Then
turn out the light and read Julia all
over again in your dreams

A4NDlNlOS AEDULlO. BY Edwa I'd
Lucas White. E. p. Dutton & Co.
A MORE amazing thing than the
~ story itself. although the au-
thor considers that very
amazing, are the afterwords which
he puts in the book when he has
already written "f1nis." These ex-
plantations are supposed to retrace all
the steps and account for all the mo-
tives used in this tale OF Rome in
the reign of Commodus. They explain
the book about as well as Edgar Poe s
analysis Of the workmanship OF a
poem did The Raven"
1t would not do to intimate that
Edward Lucas White was not sincere
in the explanation he SO unnecessarily
makes about how he, came TO write
the book and from how many and
what different sources he drew his
incidents. But while il may be safe
to say the author does protest too
much and confess too freely, Z is
safer to find in his very explanation
contrary things that vitiate his state
ment, however honestly in intenti m
he made il. Thus he states positively
that he went through all the adven-
lures recounted in this 700 page novel
in a dream ard as it's hero. He was
in sleep Andivius Hedulio and in order
TO make a book he had only to take
up pen and write down his dream.
So far so good. But he then admits
that only certain passages Of his heros
life remained clear and distinct so that
he was enabled to write them down
as 1t were automatically And when
the dream blurred then the author
had 10 create" the lost sections.
This. too, is not all. for Mr. White
explains fully the sources of his plot
and says they all came from his read
ings of other authors. He drew at
will-this is a paraphrase Of his own
statement---on Victor Hugo. Mary
wilkins, Robert Louis Stevenson and
dozen more authors who would feel
amazed to be classed together even
in this indirect way. If none OF the

The Sandwich.

The sandwich really has two offices.
Ono is to provide an easily eaten Dill
of nourishment when more elaborate
or lengthy service would be inconvcn-
lent. That is the informal sandwich.
The other 4s to provide a dainty and
tempting morsel when anything more
substantial would be too much.
The Swiss cheese and. mustard
sandwich is an instance, of. the first
type. The -de-fois gras sand
wich is an instance Of the-second.
So whether you want u substantial
meal that you can eat on the run, or
whether you want dainty bite that
YOU can take without 'interference to
your appetite an hour or so before
dinner-you have the sandwich to TALL
back on. =
That the sandwich has proved ltseif
as a very important part Of modern
life is shown by the fact that there is
an almost infinite variety of; sand
wiches now. There was q. time when
lettuce sandwiches and jelly sand
wiches and caviar sandwiches were
the usual sorts served at tea time.
Now we have dozens Sf, usual sorts"
In fact, the idea seems !, to- be to get
something unusual, ifthis unusualness
is only attained through the use OF
different seasoning or, spice.
In a tea room sandwiches are one
of the luncheon specalties the busi-
ness women who frequent it are al
ways interested in, and pew. com!bina-
tions are presented as sandwich fill
ings. Usually the filings are dell
cious, though once in "a while the COM
bination is rather forced, simply to
gain new effect. Jc.
One filing they pse is made OF
American cheese cRopped fine and
mixed with chilli sa9ce[5a filling and
delicious combination for q hearty
luncheon sandwich. but. of course
quite out of the question for q tea
time sandwich. .,,r -.
Another filling :. is'.made pi@ falslns
and nuts, mixed to- a paste with
cream. This, you see, would be quite
delicious made into tiny Sandwiches
for the tea table. althoughain : a big
sandwich it is hearty enough to be
satisfying for luncheon.
OF course, everybody khoNs' that the
dainty making of sandwiches has
more to do with tffeir .Stcmptinsness
than anything else. .GoM bread of the
right texture, the best butter. sharp
knife and neat habit of 'piling the
finished product on the plate, make
for really tempting sandwiches.

Raleigh obtained permission

these, augmented by u large
