to think.
The book opens with the finding
by Chaddie McKail of her husband
with his arms round another woman,
the school teacher who lives at the
ranch. And it is clear enough that
the thing is not mere bit of flirting.
It is with this fact that the prairie
mother must DEAL And 1t is how she
deals with it that makes up the tale
of this final volume.
She no longer loves her husband,
but there are the children, the
home, the scheme of life that has
always seemed right to her. She
has always been what she calls q
one track woman. There must be a
clean way out of the trouble, and
that way she is going to find and to
follow. But no one manages life.
The broken bowl will fall to pieces,
however carefully it is handled
Chaddie McKail carries it carefully
enough, but there are other hands
on it. rough hands.
Mr.. Stringer writes his book in the
measure of the prairies in which it
is cast. It moves with the move
ment of the seasons, steadily and
beautifully, with self-ccntained
strength. This woman ne draws for
us is sound and sweet clear through.
She is not the kind that swamps
itself in self-pity or rails against
fate. She is capable of smiling at
herself, and she continues to find life
a good thing, even though it seems
to be behaving rather roorly. Her
love for her son is powerful pas
sion, but she is wise with it. She
doesn't smother him with it. She
has brought him into the world, and
knows that one day she will give
him back to the world. But she can
fight for him, and fight she does.
There is one scene where she de-
tends the child from the rage and
brutality of his father that is like
a rallying cry to the spirit Of ma
ternity throughout the natural
world. Tigress, dove. wolf and
mouse all could answer to it. Yet
it is Chaddie McKail who sends it
out, the cultivated woman, the pa
tient and strong wife who knows
her husband and has known him
| through the years, who loved him
once and remembers that love with
pity and tenderness.
| No woman has written more
clearly and understandingly of her
sex than Mr.. Stringer has written.
He possesses the true creative touch,
and both the men and women. not
to mention the children. live in his
pages. There is a small portion of
city life in this book, though the
city is only the town of Calgary,
with a brief picturing of various
types, lightly drawn in. but alto
gether vivid. The man is an artist,
with keen perceptions and that
command of his job as writer got
only through devoted work There
is nothing sloppy or catchy in these
books. nothing labored. They hold
in full measure the drama of life,
pressed down and running over.

THE PRAIRIE CHILD. BY Arthur
Stringer. Bobbs-Merrill Company.

TT ERE is the third volume in
Arthur Stringer's prairie
trilogy, which. on the wide,
rolling. flower covered, wind free
meadow background that meets the
horizon on every side, paints the
mind and heart of a woman and
what she makes of life. It is she
who tells the story, setting down
from day to day ehe events that
build her existence, recording the
character of the man she has mar
ried. the work, the play. the dreams
of each year. This study of woman
is a fine achievement, appearing to
be rather the result of inward
knowledge than of outward observa-
ton. From her sweet youth, so sure
of happiness, through the stress OF
the time when motherhood comes,
and when the bright dawn is turning
gray, to those years of disillusion, of
courage, of a not unamused devotion
to duty, of the upgrowing of the
child, SO different from his. father.
and Of a new spring coming to the
mother, the long chronicle takes us.
This latest and last volume is full of
a beauty quite different from that of
the first book, with its fresh, singing
quality of life that matched the pic
neer home, a light hearted quality
belonging to the girl who was still
honeymooning in a world made new
But the beauty is here. and 1T is

1t is an easy matter to be happy
where happiness aboundS Tor the
taking. But happiness is no free gift
to the prairie wife. She has to cap
ture it. to hold on to 1t by sheer
strength, to make it hers. She has
to be strong about this business of
happiness just as about the business
of making the prairie home fit to
live in, the prairie farm prosperous.
Out there, with only the earth below

obtain successful results.
First. Always bear in mind that
the effectiveness OF your aerial and
the success that you will derive from
your set depend mostly upon how eff

right.
Second. Avoid kinks. turns. twists
in your serial and lead-in wire.
Third The aerial or antenna wire
can be put thru the hole at one end
of the insuIator and the staywire thru
the other. A lead-in wire can be
fastened to any part of the aerial or
antenna, or simply brought off as an
extension of the main wire Where
the wire runs around a corner of the
building, or under similar circum-
stances, an insulator can be fastened
by means OF a large screw to a
wooden supporting stick Then the
lead can be put thru or fastened to
the hole at the extended end of the
insulator
Fourth. If due to conditions you
must cut your wire, be sure that
when you make the connection it is
soIdered.
