The humorous lines and dialogues are clever and Interacting, nnd deal with captivating aubjeets throughout the book. The otory Is as light and aa dainty aa could possibly be Imagined and Just what one expects from such n writer as Mrs. Lane. Many Southern ers have had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Lane at Asheville, N. CL, where ■he goes during some portion of the spring and summer and spende several weeks at the Battery Park hotel. To all she at onre Is rharmlng and at tractive, and her conception of human Ity, and life In general, Is always most Interesting to her listeners and read ers. “Ths Incomplete Amorist.” By R Nesblt. From Donbleday, Page ft Cn. The heroine of thla bright story Is Bolly Desmond, a very bonny and at tractive English girl, who undertakes to live a student's life lit Paris, and goes to that bohemian city to reside there without n chaperon. Her early life had been one of extreme monotony, apent In a quaint English village, and ehe was constantly wishing for some thing unusual to happen to give her a taste of the outside world. She lived with her step-father at the rectory In the village, and she found little to amuse her. Unconectously one day, ehe wandered through the woods which had been her favorite spot, and found an artist, young and good-looking, who asked to paint her Into his picture, and tells her his name Is “Eustace Ver non." She promises to meet him each day gt this same place to complete ths picture. After a while Vernon leaves for Paris, and begins hla studies of life there. Shortly afterwards Betty goes to Paris and meets up with her former sweetheart of the forest and their love affair begins again. She has many aerlous mcr* to decide In her new life, and makes a few simple mistakes which cause her some uneasi ness. but at the right and proper lima, ber high-minded and kind-hearted aunt arrives on the scene,and with the rec tor takee Betty Desmond back to ths village. She leave* Vernon In Paris, but he writes avich appealing letters that Betty believes ho has done with Incompleteness, nnd persuades hsr aunt to return with her to Parts. .The aunt. Mis* Julia Desmond, returns to Paris, but It Is greatly ugalnst her will. Of course, Betty thinks her sweetheart Is pining and missing her and aha visits hla studio expecting to find him adoring her picture, but the scene when she opened the door was far different from her expectation. She softly closes ths door and without his knowing of her presence, returns to England, and write* him a very curt refusal, and Vernon never knows the reason why, until sorni time afterward, when Betty Is married to another men, he meets and agk* JtiJla Desmond for the reason, and he I* promptly Informed of all fan*.

They love one another with on unselfish devotion, which is the strongest point of this story, and saves the day for tbe book, which deal* of crime from a purely ethical standard. Th# story as related by Mr. Stringer, Is one which Is at once Ingenious, and show* that he poeaesaea a very expert knowledge and Idea of electricity, "Thj Master Man.”—From the John Lane Publishing Company. This is the first book to appear anon ymously In quite a long time, as au thors are usually eager to become known a* soon as possible. The scene Is laid In Albemarle county, Virginia, and near to that of the University of Virginia, and Is evidently told by one who Is born a Virginian, and thorough ly capable of relating Virginia life. Dr. McIntyre, the hero nt the book, le a strong and Intellectual character, lend ing his Influence and hla personality to the entire story. This character sketch carries with him many lessons In hu man every day life, and haa a fine and uplifting moral In duty, directness of purpose and simplicity In purpose. The story holds the attention to the end, nnd carries a tenderness and an ap pealing rhord to every heart. The characters are: Marguerite, the doc tors niece, and her sweetheart, Don Haskell, and his father, the rector, and hi* mother. Amos Neal and Nettle Jones complete the story, strangely simple and full of understanding Is this book, and there are no exciting compli cations which are to be found In all others of thl* day. The author has placed upon ths hook shelf a book which appeals to the reader through very different channels, and there Is not a tense excitement and anxiety of mind In the reading thereof. ■Jack Derringer.’’—By Basil Lub bock. From E. P. Dutton A Co. In Jock Derringer Is found an Eng lishman of a brave and noble type. The story runs along the lines of n sailing ship, upon which Is a crew composed of men of all nationalities. The tale Is told of sea life as It really Is, and none of the hardehlps and struggles are forgotten. A small vein of sentiment runs along toward the end of the story and adds a touch of the romantic to the situation. "The Bishop of Cottontown.”—By John Trotwood Moore. From John C. Winston A Co. This book te decidedly apropos of the child labor bill which hae Just been passed In Georgia, as It deals entirely with the cotton mills of tho South, nnd recltss the abuse* nnd evils of child labor. Ths bishop Is portrayed as an Influential and wealthy cltlien of his particular province In Alabama, where so many mills have been established, and the time Is In the early eighties of last century. A horse rare. In which the bishop Is the winner, forms nn In teresting featura of tbe book, and many lines are written of pathos and humor. A number of Illustrations are given In the book, and the women who are spoken of are very entertaining and at tractive. O GRIDIRON HEROES ARE RUBBERING AT THE 8KY, The Wire Tappers.” By Stringer.

Stringer Is remarkably In telligent In the portrayal of a hero, who I* a telegrapher and electrical In ventor, who ha* become a party to a daring wire-tapping coneplracy against a pool room. Although the subject of the novel may not be considered an uplifting one. It Is conceded to be a very timely and Interesting one, as It I* known that pool room wire tappers cleaned up 150,000 In New York on I he day that thla book went to press. The heroine Is Frances Chandler, an aria- torratlr, high-bred English girl, who has come to America to live, and who finds n situation In a New York bucket shop. The hero.

While we may not consider our liking for the Warrener*, ■till we are forced to believe that such people exist In every day life, and some circumstance I* constSntly a reminder that somewhere, In this universe, sueb people do really occupy a place. The woman of the book, Gertrude War rener, was such as you may have as your next door neighbor, a married belle, who love* and demands admira tion from mankind, and she meets Paul McAllister, n man of hlrth and wealth, who Is visiting his sister, Mra Bel lamy. The usual thing happens, where n woman ha* little to do, and Gertrude Warrener begins to wish for fine clothes, so that she may be among those present at the social affairs given by the 400 of thl* New Jersey town. George Warrener commanded a very small salary, ami the sin he commit ted was for the sake of the silly wom an whom he loved and worked for, and who saw fit to deceive him by disloy alty; » •’Superseded."—A very light and frothy tala told by May Sinclair, and wo* written before the success of “The Divine Fire.” It was printed In Eng land first as "Two Sldea of a Ques tion," but has appeared In America tinder th* title of "Suparaedod."

In the opinion of the writer, Robert Chambers ha* given hi* best tw (he m Fighting public In the writing of "The Chance." It Is a strong story of love and morel, nnd touches splendidly upon the subject of heritage, bringing out the fact most clearly that a per son can by hi* or her own moral strength anil courage fight ths cause and the result of Inheritance of the drink or drug habit.
