promise to prospective readers. The
reader will forgive the old plot be
cause he or she wlj] forget all about it
as hU heart becomes entangled in the
soul strings of the two eharmlng char
acters portrayed. "Susan" Is really
the background of the story. She cer
tainly succeeds very well In that—and
her ridiculous struggles between her
lore for Gibson and her desire to be
Lady Ruddlngton when she Is under
the Impression that the letters from
Ruddlngton are really meant for her—
Is very nmuslng and diverting. There
ere many books In which the plot cen
ters around two people who fall In
love With each other through the cor
respondence of others, but there are
not many that will excel "Susan."
The book Is really fascinating—It even
overcomes the prejudice that many
readers have against stories told as a
diarv and when a reviewer can truth
fully state that such Is a fact, he
about covers the whole matter.
Lord Ruddlngton and Susan's mis
tress find each other's hearts and the
denouement of the story to charmingly
portraved. We will all have to believe
j. \v. Luce & Co.’s advertisements. If
they continue to live up to their prom

"Susan." "Susan" Is very alluring, and
It Is a pleasure to know her.

“THE PRINCESS AND THE
PLOUGHMAN,” by Florence Morse
Kingsley. (Hurper & Bros.)
The working out of the love theme
in “The Princess and the Ploughman"
Is a little unusual—out of tho ordi
nary—and certainly a trifle old-fash
ioned. That Is to say the love story
works Itself out on the old (now ex
ploded) theory that "Abeertce makes
the heart grow fonder." Present day
readers know that absence makes the
heart grow fonder—(all right—all
right)—but. If not always, usually of
the other" or wrong fellow—certain
ly not of the on© absent. But In “The
Princess and the Ploughman," what
ever may be the manipulations of the
plot—the work Is well done. If a little
untrue to life. Mary Adams Is an
heiress to a lot of money. If she-will
marry before she passes her 23d year
(It would be unkind to say whether
this age of "23" was used advisedly).
At any rate, Mary will lose this legacy
unless she marries by the time stipu
lated In the will, but being one of those
girls (Mr. Gelett Burgess styles them
"Bromides") who Always Inform
everybody "Oh, no; I never Intend to
marry’’—she Is In quite a quandary.
Mary thinks that she loves her school
girl friend and that she (Mary) will
neVer love any man—every reader
knows (with Incident disgust) that
species—which invariably end In mar
rying the wrong man. But Mary wunts
to get hold of her legacy to use It In
building a school for tho children of
the rich In the Hawaiian Islands or
something of that kind—her only stip
ulation as to Its use being that she
will always be with her achool girl
friend, Felice Vivian, of which pro
posed arrangement the sensible Felice
grows very tired—even In anticipa
tion. Hugh Ghent, a young farmer,
living hear the home of tho Vivians,
where Mary Is visiting, upon being
approached by her, agrees to assist
Mary out of her dilemma, that Is to
say, lie will marry her in name only,
Mary can get the money to build her
school or orphan asylum or any old
thing and thus the matter was ar
ranged. Hugh loves Mary and he ab
surdly Imagines that the few talks
which he had had before the ceremony
with Mary, would after she had left
him, cause her to fall In love with him.
Of course the book turns out that way,
[for the author had the making of the
plot and could do as he desired with
her puppets, but It Is a safe propost
tlon to say thbt there are not many
young men In love with their sweet-
hearta (even as much oa was Hugh
with Mary) who would have been will
ing to marry a girl and expect to teach
her to love him through tho "absent
treatment." It Is also generally a safe
proposition to state that there are pot
many, If any such lovers In the "old
red hills of Georgia." Down in Dixie
the men only need but thoroughly use
all of tlie time, devotion and constant
attention, to accomplish anything at
all In the love line, so that Miss Kings
ley's Idea of love making It at least
very unique In Its strangeness and In
terest. Mary Adams was a very un
usual girl (It Is pleasant to know that
she was unusual). Hugh Ghent was
a big, strong, healthy "muff." but at-
Irctlve In spite of all of that. The au
thor of the “Princess and the Plough
man'’ taking these two abnormal people
out of unreal life has made a very
charming book. The style of the au
thor le very pleasing—the book Is at
tractively written, and the character
drawing Is very good Indeed. The
reader can not expect to always find
personalities presented for his delecta
tion which will please through their
mental attainments (even of common
semis), but with the characters in her
too much "preaching." She la rather I dall and her friends and her Influence
pedantic In her usa of Norse terms,
the discovery of America Is rather
tawdry and her characters are too oft
en verbose. She may expect some un
feeling criticism of her first work, but
In spite of It all, she has sent forth a
splendid piece of work, of which she
may b« Justly proud.
NEW CHRONIcTeS OF REBECCA.
By Kate Douglas Wtggln. (Houghton,
Mifflin A Co.)
The late Thomas Balfey Aldrich said
In speaking of "Rebecca of Sunny-
brooke Farm" that. "Rebecca la Just
the nicest child In American literature."
"New Chronicles of Rebecca" are Just
additional stories of fascinating Rebec
ca, after she has grown up somewhat,
and la more capable of taking upon her
shoulders the weight of all her bright
ness and charm. In these "New Chron
icles," Mrs. Wlggin tells us further
about Rebecca, When at about the age
of 18 years, she attends her finishing
school, is the head of her. family and
generally the life of her small New
England home town. The render will
naturally enjoy the "New Chronicles"
more If he hns first rend "Rebecca of
Sunnybrooke Farm." but to thoroughly
enjoy the former book It Is not abso
lutely necessary to have read the latter.
We have just received a large ship
ment of high-grade Buggies, Surreys,
Runabouts, Phaetons—in fact we are
showing the most complete line ever
received by an Atlanta house—and
will make bargain prices for the next
ten days.

"8TUDIES IN PICTURE8," an In
troductlon to the famous galleries, by
John C. Van Dyke. (Charles Scrib
ner's Sons.) In returning after read
ing “Studies In Pictures," a very
eharmlng young woman of Atlanta said
to this reviewer the other day: “Why
didn't you let me read this book before
I went abroad last year? I now un
derstand how little I understood In
the great picture galleries of Europe."
The book was not loaned to the
aforesaid charming young woman sim
ply because the book was not published
until this year. In ten chapters de
voted to the study of painting—old
masters' repainted and retouched pic
tures, forgeries, copies, themes and
workmanship of the old masters—fig
ure, portrait and genre painting, the
animal In art, and landscape and ma
rine painting. Professor Van Dyke has
written a guide book to the galleries of
Europe that (os he colls It "a first
word") Is Invaluable. It Is Invaluable
to tourists (and to those who remain
at home), who wish to attain to a
degree of cultivation and to a mental
attitude because of which they can ap
preciate paintings and the artists. The
book certainly explains many things to
a visitor to the great galleries, which
haa been very dark to him before.
Great crowds flock to the Louvre and
the Luxembourg, In Paris, take their
stand In front of some splendid picture
for a few minutes or ns long as their
guides or “Cooks parties" will allow,
then off to another, with no more
hands.’Miss Kingsley has made a most L cl ?f*'! , * n n ‘ W
readable book. When the reader has bool< , a11 at)0ut Rebecca Rowena Ran-
found out what little there Is to know
of Mary Adams and Hugh Ghent, he
will surely agree with and admire the
expert workmanship of the author.
The book Is a very pleasing unreal love
Idyl and suits this season of the year
most admirably.
In her little town. All of the ehort
chronicles are very Interesting, and It
would be difficult to say which one of
these stories (for they are really eleven
ehort stories) It tho most entertaining.
It Is only necessary to state that Mrs.
Wlggin lives up to the standard of her
first book about Rebecca, and the only
cause, of complaint one could posBlbly
make against any of the stories, espe
cially the last one, Is where Rebecca
see* "Abljah, the Brave and Fair Emma
Jane" united—the author only gives us
a view darkly of Rebecca's final finding
of herself. There Is an Intimation that
Mrs. Wlggin may yet tell us that Re
becca found herself through her love
for Mr. Aladdin. The "New Chronicles”
are very pleasing—we can not have too
many stories dealing with so alluring
a personality as Rebecrn. All of us
hope Mrs. Wlggin will allow Mr. Alad-
din to win Rebecca Rowena Randall—

"Studies in Pictures" is a splendid

his statements have deserved much

"THE STAR OF VALHALLA,” by
Mrs. Myra Gross. ((Frederick w.
Stokes <C Co.) "The Star of Valhal
la." said to be the first novel written
by Mrs. Myra Gross, Is an unusually
difficult piece of work, very unusually
well done. The author has certainly
studied wall ths weird Sagas and Eddas
of the North, and haa cast their subtle
spell over all of her attractive story.
These fierce barbaric Vikings, with
their Northern superstitions, their rude
chivalry, their love of plunder, their
rapture for the fray, their Titanic
struggles, their elementary simplicity
of soul and heart, move with pointed
dlrectneee through the pages of the
book, with a remarkable Illusion of re.
allty. The atmosphere of romance and
nntlqulty is tempered with a certain
historical warmth of detail and an
amount of historical accuracy which
la altogether pleasing. The wrltCT
claims that her story Is essentially
historical and that she haa simply en
deavored to make those old Vikings
corns to Ilfs In a setting of romance.
The central theme Is the conflict be-
tween in# religion of Christ and the
heathenism of Odin and Thor and Frey.
Tho period chosen le the reign of the
first Olaf—Olaf Tryggoveson, as he l>
known In Scandinavian history—in the
tenth century. This old warrior, whlls
he had been “converted" to the Chris
tian religion, merely changed his su
perstition* and had become a vassal of
ths new God. In the book Olaf Is used
to Illustrate ths cruel, Immoral, Intol
erant character of most of the mili
tant Chrinstlanlty of that era, and
to throw In bold relief the true re
ligion of the Christ, also tha fearful
barbarism of the-Kcandlnavlan gods of
their Valhalla of the North. Olaf un
dertakes to Christianize the country.
Iron Beard of Thrandhelm swears that
the star of Valhalla shall forever shine
In Norge. This contest brings upon
the scene a host of characters, fasci
nating In their barbaric splendor. Her
ald. the beat beloved and greatest of
the Vikings, on a piratical expedition
to the Mediterranean carries ofT the
beautiful Persea and her brother,
scions of a noble Italian family, but
true Christians. Haralil falls In love
with Persea, who, however. Is claimed
by Olaf, and the bloody contest for
her wages through many chapters of
treachery, sacrifice, murder, arson and
slaughter. The plot somewhat el*bo-

question of light and knowledge,
but of men with high moral principles
and convictions, with backbone enough
to stand erect and adhere to the hon
est convictions of an enlightened con
science. On moral Issues, when sup
posed financial Interests are Involved,
we have too many men with. rubber
necks, weak knees and flexible eplnal
columns for the - good of humanity.
Such men fall to recognise that moral
obligations stand pre-eminent for real
good to themselves, their children and
for proper development of the human
rare. '
"Esau sold his birthright for a mess
of pottage," and so some men are will
ing to sell their moral birthright for a
few paltry dollars—yes, evsn the
birthright of their own children, their
children’s children and their neighbors
children, placing humanity under an
Iron-clad mortgage with an ever-in
creasing ratio of Interest, at the sacri
fice of morality, the lives of would-be
happy children, disgracing womanhood,
degrading motherhood, polluting th»
homo, and all of which Is but a de
struction of that which Is best In man.
Any man. actuated by the true prin
ciples of tho brotherhood of man,
should shudder and shrink from even
the thought of binding In a bondage
worse than slavery Itself their children
and their brother's children, and doom
to destruction countless helpless. Inno
cent victims yet unborn.
Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or
glvo me death," should be emblazoned
In letters of gold on the moral con
science of every man, so that future
generations may not say of us, "You
refused us moral liberty and now we
must suffer moral and physical death.”
It Is a disgrace to our boasted civili
zation of moral and Intellectual devel
opment to claim that we must depend
upon the financial Income of licensed
evil to sustain our county, municipal
and state government*. It Is a direct
challenge to the highest principles of
morality, an open Insult to the
churches and Christian people of our
city and state. I resent U with every
fiber of my moral being; I resent tt In
behalf of the Christian religion; I re
sent It as being detrimental to our
moral social fabric, and deny that
ths Investment In Intoxicants at bev
erages to beneficial financially to tbe
city of Atlanta. Such Investment Is
also detrimental to tho physical moral,
mental and spiritual development of
her citizens and brings crime, vice and
disease In Its path.
It to short-sighted economy, and I
am surprised that moral business men
would advocate such business as a
sound financial policy for tha city of
Atlanta. They certainly do not ad
vocate the same policy and Investment
In their own Individual business.
If It It a good Investment for tbe city,
why does not every business house of
any size have a bar and sell It out
to the highest bidder or on high li
cense thnt their employee* may hav*
plenty to drink, so they will be able to
do more efficient work?
Their services and work for you are
of far less Importance to you ttuti the

licensing the sale of whisky It costs the
city $10 or more, directly and Indi
rectly. to say nothing ofthe business
and professional men that die from its
result, the homes that are wrecked, the
mother^ and fathers brought to sorrow,
children's Uvea blighted and ruined,
bloodshed, murder and riots that occur
In Atlanta. Does any business man
desire to defend the saloon? If so. we
are ready, but can not go Into details
In this article.
In 1905 Atlanta received from whisky
license $128,000, which cost the city
$1,800,000 in round numbers, yet busi
ness men and the city council tell us
this Is a good Investment and the en
lightened, moral, cultured Gate City
of the Nsw South must have "bloOd
money” secured by licensing evil so as
to be able to maintain its city govern
ment end moral standard. A proud
city, boasting of Its moral supremacy—
due to Its churchts, not Its saloons—
bowing down In abject submission to
the worst enemy of the city for a few
paltry dollars of tainted money, Is a
very humiliating spectacle, r,,
I can not understand how the saloons
and liquor bouses of Atlanta hare in
creased ths moral standard of the city.
If It Is true, let us be men enough to do
that which Is best for the morals of the
city and use every means at our com'- 1
mand to Increase the saloons and liquor
houses. Heretofore the churches, pub
lic schools, kindergartens, associated
charities, Y. M. C.. A. etc., have been
thought to b* ths moral forces of At
lanta, but now w* must reverse mat
ters and license die churches at high
license and build up the saloons, for
they are ths moral forces that save
Atlanta.
The Christian men and' women, the
moral men and women, the public
schools, the churches, the Y. M. C. A„
Associated Charities, the Juvenile court,
the missionary workers can not save
Atlanta; It takes saloons and liquor
houses to maintain our city govern
ment and moral standing.
If saloons Improve the morale of At
Unto, let’s have a- wide-open town,
plenty of saloons, open day and night,
Sundays also—ths more the merrier,
the mere the better for our finances
and morals, so ws learn.
When Atlanta had her riot that die
graced her fair name before the whale
world, the mayor made a mistake In
closing the saloon; he should have
opened wide their doors, day and night,
to secure their moral Influence and
closed the doore of the churches, Y. M.
A. missions, eta
In behnlf of ths churches, moral
forces end fair name of Atlanta, I
maintain that ths saloons under low
or high license are a menace to our
welfare and moral development
I maintain that the laws against sa
loons can be enforced In accordance
with the moral element of the people,
and that the presence of saloons does
not foster and develop that moral senti
ment, hut lessen It.
I maintain, without fear of successful
contradiction, that law* against sa
loons enn be enforced In the same ra
tio or proportion as laws against steal
ing. arson, murder, seduction, rape, etc.
If we need money to badly to run our
city government, why not license ths
whole category of crime and avll or put
a high license on each so as to make
them more respectable and develop a
monopoly of the business and aristo
cratic leaders In each for ths benefit of
ths moral* and finance* of ths .city?
You have Just as much moral right to
license one an the other, as they are all
evil, and the liquor traffic produces II
per cent or mere of ell the other evils
end crimes.
Licensing saloons does not prevent
evil nor "blind tigers." We have them
under low license, so will we have them
under high llcenst, Increasing In pro
portion to ths cost of license lessened
number of saloons and tbs moral char
acter of ths people of the city.
Oh, for a city! A state!! A people!I!
with moral backbone enough to stand
solid as adamarttlnc against evil or ths
licensing of evil for the sake of the
almighty dollar. May the day soon
come when the moral forces of the city
will develop an enlightened conscience
that will convince all that licensing an
avll doss not make It just nor right, and
that money so received carries with It a
curse which tends to destroy the moral
conscience of tho people.
All evil to an enemy to good morals
and to humanity.
There Is no medium ground for evil
doing: tho good of the human race and
moral development foiold It.
If saloons are an evil, which all of a
high moral Character must admit, then
they must he banished.
No moral question to permanently
