THE DARK FIRE
BY Elinor Mordaunt

CThe Century Company-$2.00)
Tropical allurement and passion,
strange compelling forces survived
from an earlier and darker world, col
or that is not known to the lighter
races, combine in the skillful hands
of Elinor Mordaunt to create an at
mosphere of poisonous savagery. In
one of the islands near Java Seton
Lane at twenty-four became the prey
of one of the women of that mysteri-
GUS brown race whose origin is lost
in the mists of ages. Farther back
and darker than any of you people of
Europe ever think when you use the
words dark ages All the darker
for the glamour and beauty, the ap-
parent genlleness of these people, so
far removed from that savagery
which seems to be the rough fruit
OF some poisonous flower far older
than itself II il were not for this
business of sorcery, the government
of these people would be child's play.
1t is all so underground, hidden
away; not only in the forests among
the mountains, though those may be
its breeding place-but in the most
open of little flower-decked houses,
in the sleekest little flower-decked

heads; at the back of the widest, most
innocent-looking eyes"
Between Laota, the dark women,
and Lillian Challoner, the blonde Aus
tralian beauty who dared to follow
her lover into the creeping jungle, and
fight for him with all her brain and
Nordic will against the more ancient
sorceries, was war to the death. Lane
seemed helpless, a mere pawn in the
game; still the question is never an
swered, whether the dark fires he
knew were not after all in his own
subconscious deeps, whether the sub
tlety of the Polynesian woman was
not directed simply to holding him
through an unholy knowledge and di-
rection of the weakness that is in all
men. Mrs. Mordaunt knows the trop-
les, has ventured into territory that
no other white woman and few white
men have seen. She spent several

GLAD IN PURPLE MIST
BY Catherine Dodd
(Doran, $2.50)

Many time have l seen it when
sailing toward the island. Sky and
sea seem to meet, and soft purple
haze covers the land, but the Man
at the Wheel is not deceived, onward
he steers. Presently a corner of the
mantle is raised showing faint out
lines of blue mountains. then emerald
patches of meadowland, then grey
rocks standing out of the blue sea"
Quaint rugged tales come from the
Manx land, tales with the elfish
strangeness of an ancient island.
Catherine Dodd has recaptured the
heart of past day, has fitted series
of pictures from the life of a shy
people into plot that has logic and
reality. The story of Mollie Cristane
has the romance and is full of the
folk of one hundred years ago. They
took her young lover away on a con-
vict ship to the far penal islands, and
sweet Mollie went to England to teach
languages and literature in a school
for genteel young ladies', who were
not to know too much, because it was
not becoming. The book abounds with
lovely little clear-cut pictures; the
massed fuchias by the old stone
walls; the rosy healthy faces and
strong bare legs of the fisher girls;
moonlight on old haunts of fairy and
dancing childhood
alias DR.. Ely" a new impersona-

IMMIGRATION IS HELD
NOT SERVANT FACTOR
Labor Review Says Shortage Is
Apparently Due to
Decline in Calling.

The scarcity of domestic servants,
about which many complaints are
now being made, is apparently not
due to the present policy of restricted
immigration, according to an article
in the July issue of the Monthly La
Dor Review, but is a condition which
has prevailed even in times Of unre-
stricted immigration. Complaints of
similar character were made prior
to the war, when immigration was
unrestricted and very large.
Analysis of employment office rec
ords, which reflect general trends in
the labor market, does not show that
there is any shortage in the supply
Of domestic servants, although it is
probably true that there is q shortage
of efficient workers, and that the ef-
ficient ones often desire wage and en-
ployment conditions which many
housekeepers regard as unreasonable.
A study Of the servant problem pub
lished 80 years ago voices the same
complaints regarding the scarcity of
good servants as are made today.
The real difficulty seems to lie In
the fact that both native American
and foreign born women prefer other
means of earning living, and for the
past so years there has been decline
in the proportion of the population en-
gagged in domestic service occupations,
the Review says.

ADOPT APPRAISAL PLAN.
Uniform System Meets Approval of
Western Dealers,

A uniform standard appraisal sys
tenn for the valuation of real estate,
formulated by the California Real Els
tate Association, was approved by a
Statewide special appraisal confer
ence held under the auspices of the
association at Pasadena June 80.
The conference, in which city and
county officials, school board officers,
bankers, inheritance appraisers and
others interested in real estate ap-
praisals were invited to participate,
urged the adoption of the system by
all local real estate boards, and recon-
mended it's use to banks, trust COM
panies, municipal authorities, boards
of education and the like.
The standard system, adopted by
the State association at its last annual
has already been put into
official use by more than 80 local real
estate boards of the State.

Brocades of various types might also
be used in such rooms or in French
rooms, provided care were taken that
the design were suitable for use with
the other pieces in the room. Glazed
chintzes offer another medium of de-
sign and are especially suitable in
English country or informal Ameri-
can houses. This material should be
put on in much the same manner
as wallpaper and may similarly be
