THE TREMENDOUS EVENT"
BY Maurice LaBlanc. New York:
The Macaulay Co. tl.75 net.
MON DIEU! What a terribly

things and places. The charac-
ters are characterless.
The heroine Isabel BakefielG)
is a gal Of dazzling beauty. So
dazzling, in fact. that when the
hero (Simon Dubosc) desires to
glimpse her peachblow complexion
he has to put on smoked glasses!
Isabel is not keen on being hauled
to the altar. But Simon Is perse.
vering and finally snares her.
There is also an Indiana red
Indian-in the story. It would
take Sam Lloyd to point out why.
But, running true to form, he gives
a marvellous exhibition Of footprint
reading.
And there Is a maid named Do
lores. Sure, you guessed It. She's

Old Sandstone, a geologist, re-
fers to a building Of the "Eccene"
period, and Simon Dubosc becomes
"dumbfounded" on few occasions.
These weird references, of course,
are due to bad proofread ding. For
Alexander de Mattos, the transla-
tor. is far too brilliant a scholar to
be guilty OF such faults. In fact,
he Is regarded as the ablest living
translator.
Leblanc bases his story on tho
theory that at some distant dny
land will occupy the space now
taken up by the water of the Eng

BLESSED THE NAN
THAT ENyDURETH En- !
TEMP TATI0N
And Christopher Ashurst, in
THE Mother Of All Living"
Was Tempted Far Beyond
the Limit Of Our Frail Re-
sistance.
BY AMES KENDRICK.


IN, African Clergyman, de-
rived quite a bit of free
advertising because of "Simon
Called Peter" which we pre-
sumo in no way retarded the
sale of that book. AS his new
novel, "The Mother of All Liv-
ing" (Dutton) is just as frank
in its treatment of the prob
lens of sex, it is but fair to
presume that it, too, will have
quite a vogue in this outspoken
age.
I'm Simon Called Peter" the
wells were cast aside and the
reverend chaplain made to sue
cumb to the Establishments Of the
girls because 1t was the authors
coneention the war found human
ity face to face with certain world
old problems for which neither its
religion nor it's philosophy were
sufficient to provide a solution.
THE Mother of All Living" has
no such reason for being. The au-
thor is this time telling a story
with>erotic trimmings for the pure
Joy of the telling. True enough,
the book is excellently writ
ten, and the descriptions of Africa,
where the combat takes place,
are of remarkable clarity. But
the impression persists in our
mind that 1t is lacking in most
Of the things which made its prede-
cessor creditable piece Of
writing.
The story relates how Cecil
Eldred comes home to an African
farm after an absence of six
years in a school in England.
She is glad to be home again
life in England seemed circum-
scribed to the girl accustomed to
the vastness of the Dark Con-
tinent. Some six months after
her return Cecil marries Hugh
Sinclair, neighboring farmer.
She has little in common with
him except the urge of sex and
a desire to be married. Purely
q case of mistaking a passing
fancy for the grand passion.
Three years elapse, and then
enters the story one Christopher
Ashurst, novelist, a philanderer
of many years practice. He is
not long in exposing the cloven
hoof. Ashurst gets in some fast
work, and in a short time a very
pretty little intrigue is in smooth
running order. Neither husband,
father, sisters, cousins nor aunts
suspect what is going on around
them.
But Pamela Urfurd, by far the
most interesting person in the
story, is not so easily fooled. And,
as Pamela herself is. in love with
Ashurst, she evolves a pretty
little scheme to win the heart
breaker away from Cecil. She
and Chris go trekking in the re-
mote wilds with only a few
natives as guides, philosophers
and friends. In the daily "bathe"
in purling streams, in the
bivouac for the night in wild
mountain Businesses, in time Of
tempest in the secluston Of some
heaven-sent cavern. Pamela
tempts Chris by every feminine
art.
The latter puts up a terrific
fight. Time after time 1t appears
that nothing can save him, but
he has in him the blood of the men
who fought at Waterloo and who
saIIoped to immortality at Bala-
klava. He is of the stuff Of
heroes. No, we are not going to
tell how the combat ended. Buy
the book and be in at the death.
And II ever we are so favored by
fortune as to be tempted after the
manner OF st. Chris, we trust that
we, too, may put up a game but
losing fight.

It is the most graceless and thankless

Youth Who Wed Sister

Humane Agent Says Escapade

BINGHAMPTON, N. Y, Nov H.
There will be no prosecution of John
Henry Creiger, twenty-one years old,
who married his sister, twenty years
old, under the name of Miss Elizabeth
NJ. Haffner. Humane Agent Samuel
j.. Korbel announced to-day 1t was
a foolish, boyish prank, Mr.. Korbel
said.
The bride has disappeared, but the
boy told his story to Mr.. Korbel to-
day. He said he went to visit his
sister in New York and while there
they went out to see the sights. The
desire. to appear manly in the sight of
the girl prompted him to suggest a
trip TO Binghampton. On the train
they discussed how much better it
would be to remain together, as they
were brother and sister, and the surest
way to accomplish this, they decided,
was to be married. They obtained a
marriage license and were married by
a justice of the peace in Conklin, N.
Y, on election day. Creiger told Mr..
Korbel: "We just did it for fun"

Clothing Bundle May Be

lnaugurate a similar procedure for the
transmission OF bundles of textile
fabrics sufficient to clothe one adult

gantzation wishing to send clothes to
designated beneficiary will be able
to buy from the American Relief
headquarters in New York, at 42
Broadway, bundle of materials suf-
tlcient for one suit of outer clothes
for an adult, four suits of underwear
and two shirtwaists or shirts. The
package may be purchased and deliv-

Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com
merce and chairman of the A. r. A.,
that unless clothing relief is brought
at once to the Russian PEOPLE suffer
ing this winter will be as bad as last
year. Fuel is almost unobtainable
and clothing, Colonel Haskell writes,

no clothing to be purchased at any
price, but prices of that which is OBJ

Board to Press Issue
With WiIhelmsen Line

Following session yesterday of the
East Coast Of South American Confer
ence, at which no progress was made in
the adoption of the $4,000 cash forfeit
plan to maintain rates, 1t was indicated
that the Shipping Board would bring
pressure to bear upon the Wilhelmsen
Line through it's agents here, the Kerr
Steamship Company.
The rate guarantee plan has been
under consideration for several months.
The chief obstable to it's adoption has
been the refusal of the WiMelmsen
Line to participate. 1t is understood
that the Shipping Board feels that fur
ther arguments will not produce re-
suits and other means must be at
tempted. The conference seems to be
maintaining its schedule satisfactorily
at present. The plans of the board are
to insure peace for future trading No
indication could be obtained of thesex-
act measures which will be employed.
