CLARK, New York Library in the 30th Century (Continued from page 865) “Our department of branch libraries is most extensive. We have installed in our parks, public buildings, air-ships and submarine boats a series of push-buttons of various colors. Every color signifies a different class of literature. By pushing the green button you see and hear a beautiful love story; red stands for history, orange for poetry, white for religion, black for domestic economy, ete. Even the trees along our streets are equipped with these buttons. I am glad you admire our progressive spirit; we feel that we must be active or the interests of our library will suffer. “You do not care to be inoculated to-day?

HARPER @ _BROTHERS An Immediate Success The Inner Shrine A Novel of To-day Rochester Post-Express, In a review of nearly two columns, “No greater novel has been pub- lished for many years in the United States.” The Philadephia Press says. “A notable contribution to American fiction.”” The Detroit Journal says: “The book's great strength, the artistry of its technique and the cioverness of its character draw- ing.” The Baltimore News says: tis well to remember that the title rings like the coin cast by Mrs. Wharton ; that Mrs. Deland has an unexpected way of man- If A contempo: has produced Ate E: nger is bees New York.

Writing the Short Stor Note & pens Sew Voi This 431-page long and interesting story of the short story, “now the most popular literary form," as the author says in his preface, is a handbook designed for literary workers, with special attention to the needs of the class-room. Tt may not be that one can write an acceptable short story merely by reading this or any other book, but it stands to reason that the study of what other men’s experiences have taught them cannot fail to be of assistance, no matter what the chosen line of effort.
