BORATED TALCUM (Continued from page 754) English nursing home. But Aaron arrives in the very nick of time, and everybody is happy ever after. Ong Immortality, by Fielding Hall. The Macmillan Co., New York. “19 Those who are acquainted with Mr. Fielding Hall's delightful essays on Burmah and the reli- gions of the East will regret that in an evident attempt to gain popularity he has cast the pres- ent volume in the form of a novel. It is ram- bling and weak as a novel and the little essays are spoiled by being sown broadcast through a dull and ill-constructed book. The book may best serve to recall attention to Mr. Hall’s very delightful volumes, “ The Soul of a People” and “The Inward Light.” Christ, Legends, by Selma Lagerlof. & Co, New York. These very pretty stories, delightfully trans- lated, will make good reading for children. The core is of real legend and the telling is not too sentimentalized for the taste of children or tol- erant elders. They are sweet and suggestive. by E. F, Benson. Doubleday, Page & . 1909. The chief drawback to the reputations of the Benson brothers is their unbridled industry. If they would eliminate more and rest occasionally they might become writers of note.

Sail Makers and Ship Chandlers » Gloucester, Mass, To the Man Who Has Never Owned a Motor Car You are fortunate to be planning now to buy your first motor car. You have escaped all the grief and expense suffered by owners of one, two and four-cylinder cars —cars in process of development. It is your opportunity to buy a perfected, high-grade car, a car infinitely superior to previous standards, and to buy that car at a price lower than is asked for several of the old-style models. Some new buyers think it wise to purchase a cheap ear first—for experince. But why make experience unnec- iy capensived To buy a cheap car first was wise when all automobiles were experimental, Then, all buyers took risks, and cautious tes took the lea risk by’ purchasing the lowest-rriced car. ‘Today conditions are diferent. ‘The experimestal features af one, two snd four-cylinder care beve been overcome in th cepner ea.” And thre no more sea why 8 1 lergo costly experimenting with cheap cars now than that he chould weke with a quill before using a fountain pen. If you buy a cheap car, the better cars will outclass yours at every point and make you regret your choice. Profit by the experience of other cheap-car buvers. Every cone of them, who can possibly do so, sells his cheap car as quickly as he can, in order to buy a satisfactory car. Buy the right car first, and you buy a car to use [not to sell at a loss]—one in which depreciation need not figure, For this good car will have in it so many years of life and satisfactory service that it will have paid for itself before you will require its successor. ‘You can make your purchase of an automobile a safe in- vestment by selecting a self-starting, sweet-running, six-cylinder WINTON SIX Has all the advantages of other high-grade cars, and many exclusive advantages.

Indeed, with a brush it was possible to raise mysterious tempest of fiery life” in her tresses. There is a full page given to the description of brushing Lucia’s hair in the dark. It is com- pared to the breaking of dry twigs in a forest, to yeast with which each hair grew enducd and stiffened itself apart from the others (as well it might!), to sparks, to remote and momentary stars, to a strange conflagration and to pale flushes of flame. Whether on account of the hair or not, Lucia, who is a cross between Becky Sharp and Emma Bovary, intends to have a good time and plenty of excitement, and she is un- hampered by scruples, as her creator carefully points out to us from page to page. 15 - Benson’s “ Dodo” was a brilliant book, Angel of Pain” was a beautiful book, but he Climber” will hardly add to his reputa- tion.
