Carefully Selected Mount
 ings Wonderfully Display Precious Gems.

It is surprising what new beauty and enhanced value your precious gems will as-s sume in a Fairchild mount- ing of modern design. These new conceptions are truly masterpieces. They incor- porate the most intricate and painstaking skill of the craftsman; an untiring effort to evolve perfection of grace and harmony. Valuable gems remounted from one of the old style, less graceful settings into one of Fairchild's modern conceptions will afford you the satisfaction of possess ing the best at a modest cash outlay. You will find un- usual values in beautiful all-. platinum mountings for $4O S45 and $50.
 To see these delightful ex- pressions of the jewellers art is to appreciate culture and refinement in precious metals.

Browns lifetime was less than hal
that If Treneau's and fitted into the ex.
act middle of it. His important work
was crowded feverishly into about three
years. In it, unlike Treneau, he initiated
an English style: but unlike the epic
writer's. he initiated a style which was as
much his natural voice as if he had in
vented it himself. He was our first i'm
portant writer of novels. and the kind he
initiated has been called the nightmare
novel.
Like all the previous English literary
fashions. this came to be initiated in
America only when the days of its greatest
popularity at home were already gone
When you go into the country for your
summer vacation, especially if you go fan
away. you have had the experience per-
haps of finding that people there were

the city have known about for some time
and are perhaps tired of now So it was

was still running in England, the might

1t was ever like the most blood-curdling
movie you have seen. so filled with hair

characters have never a quiet moment for

that they are real people You think that
the only possible explanation of such go
ings-on is that you will find at the end
that 1t has all been a nightmare. Yet il
by any chance you have seen such a movie
or play and shivered cold and thrilled hot
through the whole of it you are quite
disguised IL you are told in the end you
were only looking at the antics of a
dream or of a crazy person after all. You
feel then that you have been cheated

commonplace explanation that annoys
you. You would rather have the whole
thing frankly and desperately improbable
than to have it tiresomely explained to you
how IL was just possible. Take our advice
and. If you write a horror story when
you grow up. don't explain a single thing
in the last chapter.
But you must not blame Brown for do

have not learned to avoid Perhaps they
can't help il. since Americans are such
practical people that they want even their
mystery stories to work out sensibly al

Browns stories (and. really. sometimes
they give you delicious creeps) YOU would
feel they were told rather stnfly. But
that way of writing belongs to the age
and you mustn't mind that. The chief

One of the great problems TO be met
