The rest OF the world presents
growing inclination to blame France
seriously, even to resent the attitude

the war of 1870 Germany occupied
French soil till the war indemnity
was fully lifted, releasing no French

This is the start and the clue. From
this point one goes on to the finding
of dead and long-buried Egyptian
queen. who. by the evidence Of her
burial toggery. had prepared for her
own resurrection. The substance of
this development Is to turn the
lowing out the queens plans by

Rather. The point Is, however, that
the author makes pretty fair start
along this aspiring way. Mystery
steps on the heels of the one in front

creepy things move in shadows across

there can be no soft ending to this

There isn't. But there Is enough ex-
cttement to make anybody forget his
common preference for the smooth
finale.
THE HOUSE ON SMITH SQUARE. BY
the author of "The House on
Charles Street" New York: Duff
field & Co.
No, not a mystery tale, though the
title suggests that 1t may be. AS
matter of fact, this title has nothing
at all to do with the events that make
up this matter. To be sure, 1t does
shelter one of the chief characters,
but only now and then. 1t certainly
has no influence upon his behaviors.
A thin story. lacking both substance
and form. Such body as 1t has Is
produced by the personality and in
terests of a certain young woman in
London bereft by the war. Some
thing of phenomenon of intelligence
and charm-So the author would have
us think. Two men, an Englishman
and an American, provide the uncer-
tainties and the suspense that are re-
quired to set this lady upon a new
way of life in the company of a new
husband. The sequences of event are
not clean cut here; the action itself
Is inconsiderable and vague. And the
end-well, the end is love fulfilled.
And what more can a reasonable novel
reader ask?

, With the two-fold object of assisting
the Foundlings' Home and Summer Camp
and placing before the Washington
music public distinctive type Of choral
music, the Motet Choral Society tomor-
row night will present its annual bene-
fit concert in Memorial Continental Hall.
Under the direction of Otto r. Simon.
an outstanding authority on music in
this city. the society has endeavored to
present choral music through definite
technique that encourages not only the
also the reprcSsive tone, as a necessary
preston.
Mr.. Simon believes the attainment
OF these more delicate effects would
seem to encourage the selection of
inspirational moments Of shorter
compositions rather than the some
times monotonous continuity of an
individual, longer work. The direc
also gives consideration to the liter
airy value of text and to the subdued
lighting OF the hall
Soloists with the society tomorrow
night will be Victor Goltbart, tenor.
and John Waters, baritone. Mrs.
Gertrude McRae Nash will accompany
the society at the piano.
Tickets for the concert may be pur-
chased at the office of r. Arthur
