the Day THE INFLUENCE OF HEREDITY HER MOTHER'S DAUGHTER. By Nellie Bartley. (The George A. Doran Company. New York; 92.) In "Her Mother’s Daughter" Nellie Bartley has written a novel which is uncommonly interesting as a study of heredity and parental influence. The mother Beaumont—Mrs. Jules August Beaumont—of Swiss peasant stock; her husband is a Swiss pastry-cook. As immigrants they settle in one of the smaller but more aristocratic cities of New York State. They start a bakery which, thanks to the business ability of Mme. Beaumont, eventually becomes the nucleus of a pie and cake trust, the first link in a vast chain of bakeries. The reader, however, is not asked to interest himself in the pies and cakes, except incidentally. The study to which Miss Bartley has devoted herself is the familiar problem of new and ambitious immigrant stock set down among families rapidly going to seed. New brains versus old blood. Brains win, of course. Gloria Cornes Back. Gloria, Mrs. Beaumont's daughter (the father has died), breaks down social barriers and marries into the oldest family in Rutledge. But Gloria, besides being of the second generation, polished in the most fashionable girls’ school of Manhattan, is also a reversion to even more primitive generations lying behind her father and her mother. She has a near love affair—near enough to alienate her from her husband, from whom she is divorced. However, it does not come to marriage between herself and the second man. She marries a bankrupt nobleman when her mother dies—bankrupt! What occurs after this turn of affairs need not be detailed. The really sturdy and valuable element in the Beaumont strain comes uppermost in Gloria and eventually, she is welcomed back into the inner circle of Rutledge, this time for her real value and not for her money as at first. Sentiment has been studiously avoided and a logical sequence of cause and effect has been maintained. There are falterings in the narrative and the dialogue is not entirely satisfactory, but these faults are outweighed by the virtues of the tale. It is a sound piece

PEPPER AND SALT VERSEPIGRAMS Love, money, health and youth sweet Paradise do bound; hatred, failure, exile build Purgatory’s mound. Men, yet but appearances are greater than they know: infinity in possibilities if development they show. Many situations tragic we must place at Plato’s door and blame for things ridiculous that happen by the score. It is wise that we should understand when we our efforts make through life, that the way of the world from beginning was planned on a structure of worrisome pain and strife. In God forgives and man forgets, but woman—Oh, how clever! for she forgives most everything—remembering all for ever. JAMES G. CONNER, "A business which thinks it needs money desperately never does need money—it needs better management." —Henry Ford. Within the next five years the British Empire, by means of aviation, will be knit together as it has never been before. —Sir Alan Cobham.

The meeting was called to order by the chairman. But one man besides the presiding officer was présent. “Whom do you nominate?” enquired the presiding official. “Myself,” was the answer. “Do you accept the nomination?” “Well, no.” “That being the case, we shall be glad to hear another name presented. Whom do you nominate?” “Myself.” “You accept the nomination?” “No.” “For the third time, whom do you wish to nominate?” The man rose, with a smile of satisfaction spread over his face, as he answered proudly: “Having been three times solicited by my fellow citizens to accept the nomination, I can no longer decline to accede to their wishes.” He smilingly retired, candidate for office.

WHAT ARE “CROISSANTS” ? How many people in France have ever stopped to wonder whether croissants are cakes or bread or "where the crisp fresh rolls are made before they reach the breakfast table?" A matter of no importance. But at Nîmes (Gard) the answer to this question has got to be found whether or not citizens would have fresh croissants on Sunday. Owners of baking places of bakeries agreed to close all shops on Sunday. A French law empowers the Prefect to issue a decree forcing all bakeries to abide by the agreement. Shops where croissants were sold were included in the ban. A pastry-cook maintained that he was working in an entirely different profession from that of baker, and demanded the right to sell croissants on Sunday. He won. WARDEN: You are to be executed in the morning. Have you any last requests to make. PRISONER: Yes, I’d like some shock absorbers. THE SKY GAME It is the day of the big game.

In the stand a fair damsel nestles into her Hudson sealskin coat of muskrat fur, and adjusts her complexion with a scrap of chamois skin which once covered a young goat. Her hero jogs on to the field in his brown canvas mole skin and receives the pigskin of sheep’s hide from a student manager clad in oilskin of paraffined linen. This is his last chance to star on the gridiron, for next June he will get his sheepskin, nicely printed off the best bond. But, alas, it is not to be, for the whistle blows and he takes a place on the bench. He is only a substitute himself. —Life. MY SWEET BROWN GIRL Down in my old cabin was mammy’s toast, Potatoes in the fire laying down to roast; No one dares to cross me, got no talking pal, But I got the company of my sweet brown girl. So I spend my evening listening to her sing, Like a blessed angel; how her voice do ring! Sweeter than a bluebird fluttering here and there, When he sees the streaming of the newly ploughed ground. Then I hug her closer, closer to my breast. Needn’t sing, my darling, take your honest rest. Do I mean Malindy, Mandy, Liz or

ALARM CLOCK FOR HENS When the Duke of York opened the new National Institute of Poultry Husbandry attached to the Harper Adams Agricultural College at Newport (Shropshire) this week, he was much interested in an alarm clock which automatically switches on electric light. It was explained that this device is provided to give the hens an extra hour’s light in the morning, resulting in a larger production of eggs. SCHOOLS.

The Municipal Council of Bucharest has voted to change the name of one of the principal thoroughfares in the centre of the city to “Avenue Briand.” It is explained that it is the “Man of Locarno, Geneva and Thoiry, the Apostle of Peace,” whom the municipality desires to honor, rather than Briand the French statesman. In a case in London in which a £55,000 will is being contested, the cross-examination of a witness has been adjourned owing to the illness of Sir Edward Marshall-Hall, K.C., leading counsel in the case. The case is one in the Probate Division of the High Court, but perhaps Sir Edward is better known as an advocate in the Criminal Courts, one of his most famous cases being his brilliant defense of Greenwood when the latter was acquitted of the charge of murdering his wife. Sir Edward is sixty-eight years of age and was educated at Rugby and St. John’s College, Cambridge. He was called to the Bar in 1883 and became a bencher in 1910. He lives near Godalming, is an excellent shot, and has a good handicap at golf. THE WOMAN OF THE DAY The assertion of Sir Thomas Beecham, composer and conductor, that England is “disgusting” from a musical point of view, brought only the simple comment of

THE WOMAN OF THE DAY The assertion of Sir Thomas Beecham, composer and conductor, that England is “disgusting” from a musical point of view, brought only the simple comment of “He knows best” from Dr. Richard Strauss, the Austrian composer, who arrived in London yesterday on his way to Manchester. Dr. Strauss only shook his head when his opinion of musical England was asked. Among the bequests made in the will of Mrs. Frederick W. Vanderbilt, which has been filed for probate in New York, the largest is that of $310,000 to the Anthony Home for Working Girls, which Mrs. Vanderbilt constructed.

Mr. George Alexander Harwood, a Vice-President of the New York Central Railroad, died yesterday in hospital at White Plains, New York, after an operation. He was fifty-one years old. Mr. Harwood had been on the staff of the railroad since 1900. In 1906 he was in charge of the construction of the Grand Central Terminal and improvements in connection with the electrification of lines to Peekskill and North White Plains. A widow and two children survive him. M. René Fournets, for more than thirty years one of the leading bass singers on the French operatic stage, has died at Pau (Basses-Pyrénées), his native town. M. Fournets was sixty-seven years old. He made his début in 1884 at the Opéra-Comique in the part of Frère Laurent in "Roméo et Juliette," later he sang Mephistophélès in "Faust," at the Opéra, and left for a time to direct musical enterprises in South America.

Painting celebrities, American, European, and Far Eastern, is the "line" of Mrs. Leonebel Jacobs, who is in the public eye of Paris today. But this well-known portraitist is vastly more interested in the art side of her work, in turning out good sketches of excellent picture subjects, than she is of admiring a long list of famous men and women to her gallery. "Some of my Chinese sketches of persons not notable at all are among the best of my work," Mrs. Jacobs confides. "In other words, it is not the celebrity in whom I am interested, but his or her 'paintableness' and the art of the
