WE are inclined to the belief
that those who have made

plot, though interesting. IL much
less vital than one expects from
Mrs. Anterior, and the charac-
tiers are not all drawn to the
life. To us its principal interest
is In the picture drawn Of San
Francisco in the seventies.
Into the rigid social life Of San
Francisco. Howard Talbot brings
his bride from Boston. Boston
was hated because 1t represented
the North, and the society Of San
Francisco was composed almost
entirely Of Southerners. Madeline
Talbot has the latest gowns,
knows all the latest styles from
New York and Paris, and soon
assumes a high position. She II
liked by everybody. She keeps
herself above the scandal that
goes on around her and is happy
in spite of the fact that her
books are taken from her, AZ her
husband discourages all blue
stocking fads."
AS time goes on her husband
neglects her for his club. He
is not bad. but considers her AZ
many persons then considered
women; a useful and necessary
ornament to society. Bored and
lonesome, she falls deeply in love
with Langdop Masters. a brilliant
young journalist who has come
to the new empire full OF great
ideas and ideals. -
Talbot, learning of his wife's
love for Masters, orders Masters
to leave the West. and tries to
win back the love Of Madeline.
In this he is unsuccessful. She
tries to end her life by drink
ing herself to death. She Is re-
ligious and does not believe In
divorce. and rather than face The
"crime" of divorce and undergo
the religious penalty of suicide.
she chooses vice. Masters. who
goes to New York, tries the ssme
thing, and is rescued only when
Madeline faces the divorce. goes

The historical antecedents of the Dec
laration are shown in the theory of the
British Empire, and then is retold the
story of the drafting of the instrument,
four of the texts being given. The literary
qualities of the paper are discussed in
terms of high admiration. The book closes
with a discussion OF the philosophy of the
Declaration in the nineteenth century in
the course of which Professor Becker says
that the faith displayed in humanity by
it's writer and signers could not survive
the harsh realities of the modern world.
Generally speaking, the nineteenth
century doubted the existence of man. Men

Constitution comes the publication of Pro-
fessor Becker's work on the document
which resulted in the Constitution being

most influential statement in the history of
the United States" The book tells pre-
cisely what the Declaration was, presents
and analyses each one of its successive
statements and charges, and presents
summary of the historical antecedents of
the document (the philosophy of natural
rights). showing from what sources JEFF

A Remarkable Discovery

Mr.. Cody has specialized in English for
the past twenty years. But instead of
going along in the old way he has ap-
piled scientific principles to teaching
the correct use of our language. He
made tens of thousands of tests of his
various devices before inventing his
present method. In all his tests he
found that the trouble with old meth
ods is that points learned do not stick
in the mind. In school you were asked
to remember rules, and if you forgot
the rules you never could tell what was
right and what was wrong. For the
past five years Mr.. Cody has worked
almost day and night to find a way to
replace bad habits in writing and speech
with good ones. And as result of his
experience he evolved his wonderful
