novel "The Mother of All Living" (E. F. Dutton & Co, publishers, New York city).
 "The Mother of All Living" is piece of work which marks a decided and notable advance upon the liter ary standards of MT. keable's earlier book Not only is it better from an artistic point of view-better in style, in construction and in the DOT trayal of character-but it's general outlook is both steadier and more mature. One feels that the author had broader, finer perspective of his subject here than upon the one treated in his former novel. And though the plot of the story is old as human nature itself, plot which all rAces, all countries and all periods have more or less in common. there is a directness as we'll s a freshness and sincerity in MT. Keable's treat ment which prevents it from seeming in the least stereotyped.
 Something of the vastness, some- thing of the strength, quiet, formid- able, ruthless. belonging to that South African country in which its scenes are laid are to be found in Keable's. new novel.
 Up to a certain point the tale de- velops, so far as it's story is con cerned. talong familiar lines, though from the very first certain of its characters strike an unusual note. Cecil Eldred, after six years of life at an English school of the prim~ nest and most conventional type, re- turns to her South African home, near the point where the Umtamyuna flows into the sea: "The whole panorama lay bathed in soft sunshine, the sea glistened blue and foamy white: the sand and rocks and trees sparkled and glowed in the rich light and the ragged banana leaves rustled in what seemed a whisper of welcome on the morning after her arrival.

 MT. -Keabie's talent for description is already well known and the pre- sent novel is full of admirably x drawn pictures not only of pass and mountainside and valley. of native village and isolated post but of big prosperous farms and such busy places as Durban. For, as he says, Half of the charm of south Africa lies in its variety. A traveller may pass in a few hours from modern city to Boer drop. from homely farm

Medicine and see what is happening hundreds of miles away. And the dog. We must not forget Peter. The dog belongs to the heroine and he protects her as he would his life.
 Enough has been told to show that MT. Curwood employs the safest of mediums in his concoction of TO- mances. He emphasizes the out-of- doors. He puts what is popularly termed red blood" into his tales. Virtue emphatically triumphs over vice. and always love will find a way.
 As reward for this, MT. Cur wood is extremely popular. He makes countless young men long to be mo- hle outlaws and save their maidens from villains, and writes stories which are clear and wholesome-en tirely free from the grasp of the literary bootleggers."

-----------------s-- - ------------------ SHRINK YOUR STOMACH

Lulu Hunt Peters, NJ. D., in The
 Health Builder.
 Your stomach long having been used to caring for more food than your system needed, is enlarged and when you eat moderately there are the wide open spaces longing to be occupied. That is why you still feel hungry and unsatisfied.
 Now if you will go on three-day liquid or fruit diet, nor totaling over 500 or 600 colories a day. this will re- duce it to it's normal size, and very much less food than you have been used to will satisfy you. Then you can easily go on your reduction diet as though it were feast.
 For these shrinking days I advise about 100 colories every two or three hours during the day. You will lose from five to ten pounds during this period and it gives you glorious start. After that it is not wise to lose over two pounds a week.

to native kraal. from Colonial home stead to Indian settlement.
 New conner has an odd feeling that he doesn't know-if the gentleman about to enter his railway car will be English or Continental, learned or ignorant, a Boer or a Baronet, west ern or oriental. He may turn out to have shot your brother Tn the siege of Dadysmith and fought by your side oh the Somme. Much of this variety the novel reflects, but al ways, incidentally, for it is book of individual, not of government prob lens, and the country Is subordinated to the little group of characters whose history MT. Keable has chosen to relate.
 Interesting primarily as picture of individuals, some of them un- usual, in a wide environment, it is also interesting for it's upholding of the tie created by the child. Mrs Wharton has recently shown us a marriage, which could not be dis solved, because cemented by love: MT. Keable shows us in union in which love, on one side at least. was lacking, but which was yet and for different reasons, equally insoluble. It is impossible to dwell upon this part of the story without revealing an undue amount of the plot, bul neither can it be disregarded. show ing as it does something of the gathering revolt against the shib- boleths of nconventionality-so called-which for a time threatened to become established

The Good Old Timcs-1.
We women of today point with
pride, as the politicians say to the
place in the sun that our sex oc-
cupies.
We boast of our political and
on our educational advantages, we
swagger a bit as we declare that every
door of opportunity is open to woman
in trade, in the arts, and the profess
sions, and that the only limit put upon
our achievements is the measure of
our ability.
And we feel like shedding a sympa-
thetic tear over grandmother when we
think she couldn't vote, or control her
own money, and that she was laughed
at as a blue stocking if she aspired
20 more than a smattering of an edu-
cation, and that the only way that
she had of earning any money was by
marrying it.
True enough-and yet when you
come to think of it. grandma had a
pretty easy time of it, compared
with us.
For one thing, grandma didn't have
to vex her dear little bean about
whether she would marry, or espouse
career. There weren't any careers
except marriage. and there were
plenty of men to go round as hus-
bands, which provided comfortably for
! that proposition.
So all grandma had to do was just
| to sit around and look willing, and
pretty soon some eligible male bobbed
| ZIP on the scene and asked her nand
| IN marriage, and if he didn't come
across quickly enough, papa took him
aside and asked him his intentions.
and\ forthwith the wedding bells rang
merrily.
| Girls in grandma's day didn't have
to do their own husband hunting. nor
was the game as scarce and as wary
as it is now. for in those halcyon
times a bachelor was looked upon
askance, instead of being the object
OF admiration, envy, and wonder that
he is today. Lucky grandma!
| In grandma's time women didn't
have nervous prostration because they
did not have to wear themselves to a
fragile trying to unite in one small
person the whole compendium of
feminine graces' and charms. Nobody
expected much of women then, and so
| it wasn't difficult to turn out a salts
factory job as a woman.
| When grandmother was a good and
faithful, wife, a devoted mother, a
thrifty manager. and an excellent
cook. she called it day, and folded
her hands, and rested.
