The Book of the Day THE RETURN OF TISH TISH PLAYS THE GAME, by Mary Roberts Rinehart. (The George H. Doran Co., New York, $2.) Tish, the incomparable, has come out of retirement to have again such adventures as a maiden lady never had before. Her sophisticated and sardonic nephew, Charlie Sands, was sure that something was going to happen when he remarked to her best companions, Aggie and Lizzie:
when he remarked to her best companions, Aggie and Lizzie: “I’ll bet you a dollar and a quarter she’s up to something right now. She’s too quiet. Besides, she asked me the other day if doubtful methods were justifiable to attain righteous ends.” The particular thing that Tish was “up to” at that time forms the first of the five short stories that compose the book and furnishes the title. The “game” that Tish played was golf; she was learning it in order to remove the snags from the course of true love in the affair of two young friends.
of true love in the affair of two young friends. Her effort was triumphantly successful; of course, it was accompanied by the mischances and the misunderstandings that always hamper the valiant endeavors of Tish. In the second tale, “The Baby Blimp,” which is perhaps the most hilarious of them all, Tish ventures into the picture business. The next one has to do with a hysterical case of hijacking, Tish’s share in it and the results for a pair of young lovers. When Charlie Sands passed the weekend with his aunt and her friends and suggested that they should organize a
and her friends and suggested that they should organize a treasure hunt as a scheme for making money for a charitable purpose the result was what the narrator calls a “terrible night.” Finally, Tish was arrested. The last story, “The Grey Goose,” harks back to a time when Letitia Carberry was developing psychic power and experimenting with spirit mediums, automatic writing and such things, and it links this with her gallant endeavor to prove to a long-suffering husband that her wife’s legs were not paralyzed. Throughout all the tales, Tish’s shrewd philosophy, her humor, her willingness to embark upon any
shrewd philosophy, her humor, her willingness to embark upon any scheme of which she happens to think and her keen pleasure in adventure for its own sake, are as evident as they have always been in Mrs. Rinehart’s accounts of her exploits. Tish holds a recognized place in fiction; she is welcomed back. winter and runs for office again.

THE WOMAN OF THE DAY Dr. Ethel Bentham is the Labor candidate for Parliament for East Islington in London. She is one of the many women seeking a seat at the next election,
the many women seeking a seat at the next election, but all may not go well with her campaign. The working women of the Socialist Party are up in arms. They object to the practice which has grown up in the Labor Party, favored by considerations of political and financial expediency, of naming women candidates for Parliament from the upper classes. The "Labor Party in England has always had a certain number of members from the aristocracy and the middle-class, but recently it is alleged that so many of these upper-class people have invaded the party that it is impossible
upper-class people have invaded the party that it is impossible for a true working woman to obtain the support of her party as a candidate for Parliament. The Railway Women’s Guilds, the Cooperative Women’s Guilds and other organizations of women affiliated to the Labor Party, have combined to raise a fund which will enable actual working women—factory workers or the wives of workers—to stand as candidates. The organizations hope to raise £5,000 a year for this purpose. Among the many women of the upper class who have been active in the work of the Labor Party, and who have been
the work of the Labor Party, and who have been named as candidates for Parliament, are Lady Cynthia Mosley, daughter of the late Marquis Curzon of Kedleston, and Lady Clare Annesley, daughter of the fifth Earl of Annesley. The candidates now named for Parliament include Dr. Ethel Bentham, Miss Picton-Turherville, Mrs. Ayton Gould, Mrs. C.F. Streeter, and Miss Monica Wheatley, none of whom can be accurately classified as members of the working class. According to the contention of the Socialist Women’s Guilds, the women who represent the party in Parliament ought to be actual working women, and aristocrats or women
ought to be actual working women, and aristocrats or women of the middle-class will not do. The fact that two or three of the Labor Party’s women candidates are schoolteachers does not count, as schoolteachers are not considered to be working women. And although Lady Clare Annesley works harder than do most factory workers, she is ruled out also because of her aristocratic birth.

Cold, dreary rain and moaning wind and ghostly lamps along the Strand. Writhing reflections upon the Thames. The gray and dirty river near that rolls to sea past gloomy villages asleep in mud and desolation. Crowds, hurrying, wet, bespattered with the foulness of the cobblestone streets.

And men and women, lost, wondering, despairing; thinking, perhaps, of hearths, merriment, children; and happiness—not in the rain. —Robert Cranston Lee. WILL QUOTES BACON "My solemn and dying recommendation to my beneficiaries is to make work and knowledge their principal hobbies—following Francis Bacon, the great scientist’s motto "to take all knowledge to be my province."

Mr. Bodeoyanez, who was a naturalized British subject, died last September, leaving an estate of the gross value of £27,357. His recommendations to his beneficiaries proceed to urge them to "control their purse, belief, passions, and temptations; to help to be kind to mankind, particularly the genuine poor; to cultivate love; to abolish intoxication; never to speculate, bet, or gamble, but to be proud of the fact that whatever they possess, apart from legacies, are the fruits of their own labor; to protect our dumb friends, the animals, especially the much abused cart-horse and costermonger’s donkey; to lead a straight,
much abused cart-horse and costermonger’s donkey; to lead a straight, clean, and honorable life throughout, and to prepare themselves to meet a religious death.

But today, she who knows how to apply the Crème El-Kzar and the Bâton Raisin, two of the specialities of Darsy, 54, Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris, also knows that both defy detection.

BEAU SEAU SUR-MER. Tons of Confetti Welcome King Carnival to Nice Miles of Lights Line Streets of City As Visitors Flock to See Annual Riviera Festival. (Paris Times Spécial) NICE.—King Carnival has been in possession of his principality for several days. Despite the fact that royalty in Europe has greatly diminished since the war, the Nice King is becoming more popular every year, and his rule is just as gentle and hilarious as ever. But the old King is not an inexpensive monarch. No one has yet sought to estimate the number of lights that brighten the avenues of Nice
the number of lights that brighten the avenues of Nice and the Place Masséna each night, but they run into many thousands. And the various floats — requiring a good many thousand working days to complete — are expensive items. Then, too, there is the ton or more of confetti that is distributed each fête night; and the thousands of yards of cloth that go to make up the costumes, a good majority of which are renewed each year. The King certainly costs money, but he is an excellent revenue-getter himself. The inrush of winter visitors from all over the
himself. The inrush of winter visitors from all over the Continent, was most noticeable during the few days before his entrance. And the smaller hotels are filled with the natives from the small towns surrounding Nice. Those who wish a change from Carnival would do well to visit the Exhibition-Fair which opened on Wednesday behind the Casino Municipal. The exhibits are most interesting and more international than ever before. Modern Woman. Yachtsmen on the Riviera are leaving for Cinecure, where the international races will be held in the near future. The G-mètre class is filled this year with entries from
The G-mètre class is filled this year with entries from Holland, France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and England. The Cameo II, owned by Mr. Reginald Ford, will be sailed this year by Mr. Eugene Kelly, a New York yachtsman, under the British flag. The other boat in the English team will be the Suzette, owned and sailed by Sir Duncan Orr-Lewis. Sir Duncan and Mr. Kelly have already left for Italy. A Query? The hour is 4:30 in the morning and the setting is the Cannes Casino. The exact happening is rather blurred, it seems. Anyway, a gentleman from New
is rather blurred, it seems. Anyway, a gentleman from New York had already dropped £4,000 which had been mostly picked up by his friend from London. The crowd had seeped away to belief. The two gamblers continued amusing themselves. But even a winner gets sleepy. So the suggestion was made, that it would be a wise and sporting affair to put a million francs apiece in the bank, draw cards once, and then call it an evening. Up to that point, the information is précis. After that, it is lazy. Someone—neither of the two principals—stopped the game. Why? And how?
Someone—neither of the two principals—stopped the game. Why? And how? And who were the gamblers? That is what the Riviera is asking. High up in the hills behind Cagnes-sur-Mer is the little village of Saint-Paul. And chief among the attractions of this ancient village is a gastronomic center called the Auberge de la Colombe d'Or. That means but little until you have dined there. And then it means a great deal. Consider the list of guests for one recent dinner: the Prince of Monaco, Princess Antoinette of Monaco, M. and Mme. Steinert, M. Marcel Arnac and M. Gaston Chérau, of
Mme. Steinert, M. Marcel Arnac and M. Gaston Chérau, of the Concours Academy. The American and British signatures on the dinner book would interest an autograph collector. But they are not for sale. The restaurant is reserved for gourmets. Those who like the works of Francis Picabia have an excellent opportunity to see a most representative collection at the Cercle Nautique, Cannes. The president of the Association des Beaux-Arts de Cannes, M. Camille Mauclair, officially opened the exposition on Monday. Nearly every country in Europe is represented by at least one painter, while America has several paintings by different men.

This is the fourth time this season that he has been reported in hiding on the Riviera. Among other qualities, Mr. Wells is the speediest traveler in the world. He is in Grasse one night at seven o'clock and in London, or thereabouts, at nine. Which develops the fact that Captain Leslie Hamilton, the young British aviator, has made good his threat of last year to start the fashion of airplane weekend trips to the
to start the fashion of airplane weekend trips to the Riviera from London. Carrying Miss O’Gorman as a passenger, Captain Hamilton landed at the Micon field, Nice, on Monday. He gathered up his mail, spent a night in the city, and then jaunted off to Cannes to see a friend before hopping back to London. Which prompts one to ask what has happened to the proposed regular service to Southern France from Paris and London.

their stay far into the year through the activity of the police. Continued thefts from department stores led to the arrest of a night-cleaning man, who had been accumulating goods worth 200,000 fr. A truck was needed to bring back the stolen articles. The hotel rat who stole a mink coat from the room of Mme. Maurice Grossein, a Paris manufacturer, has not yet been arrested, however. The coat is valued at 60,000 fr. Pinon’s jewelry shop in the Boulevard du Moulin, at Monte Carlo, was robbed in the early morning by burglars who forced the lock on the iron
