lis showing more favorable results, ac-
cording to importers The influx of
buyers. which the trade has been
eagerly awaiting, has begun and, al
though the advance guard Is not buy
ing in substaptial volume. the buyers
are inquiring freely. The fact that
buyers were late in arriving this year
caused many importers to send their
statesmen out a little earlier than
usual. Their efforts, it is said. met
with better success than in former
wears. In lace. novelty effects are in
wide demand. while there is a small
demand for the general lines. The
embroidery end Is enjoying a revived
demand. which is centered on novel;
ties. The longer skirt fashion is ex-
pected to awaken the call for EN-
broidered undergarments. Rodier ef-
fects in panelings for gowns are be-
ing favored. while Venice laces are

center Of the stage to recuperate. the
other steps into his place and the
performance goes happily on, with
out having to stop TO take breath.
The point of it lies in the astonish-

only noticeable difference between
them being that one has a merry
twinkle in his eye and the other is a
solemn chap. The solemn one. Bar
raclough, has discovered a marvellous
field of radium, where the mineral
just lies round in chunks, and he is
trying to escape from London with
the aid of the good syndicate of '.men
of affairs" who are backing him, to
nail down the necessary concession.
No one but Barraclough knows the
secret of the location. The other
wicked syndicate is trying to block
him. The other hero, Richard, is
hired to impersonate Barraclough so
that he can go on and clean things
up.
Richard is kidnapped by the bad
syndicate and put through a won-
derful third degree" a surprising
example of torture with modern i'm

But being hero he is of course suf-

lock Holmes. One feels little sorry
that he has to be foiled in the end

slid away behind the train it seemed
almost like an old friend setting out
upon a long journey"
Whatever the miracle Of the lady
was. it is not quite done when it has
set right the lives of that old quar-
tet. Twenty years later. when the
impudent engaged young woman and
her husband have fallen upon similar
gray days, and most of the parents
have gone their way, there is mys-
terious conversation with Something
in the same room where the mys-
FERROUS lady had lived for a sum-
mer.
Perhaps the best summary of the
secret is the statement:
We are all treasure seekers in
the beginning, pitched
into life one way or another, but
all convinced that there's hidden
treasure somewhere
think she knew where the treasure
was. Not in you or me.
But in Emily's idea of you which
must, so to speak, be pulling you
up bit higher than yourself, all
the time. And your idea of Emily
working the same way.
And so with me, and Joan;
just two ordinary mortals, living
together, and believing in one an
other; it's that which is
the Undying Thing.
1t is book which by its nature
defies cold, bald analysis. The es-

complex piece of music which must

her in order that she may inherit
his small fortune and be safe, but i:
is merely an outward union. 1t is a
difficult situation to make plausible,
but Miss Patrick achieves it. At
Tracy's death the original hero,
Eliot, returns and all is well.
If there is a weak spot it is in this
youthful hero, Eliot. He is a little
conventional and lacks something of
the solidity of the others, but one is
willing to believe in him. for Bar
bara's sake. Altogether. it is a fine
piece of work. II. L. PANGBORN.
