‘THE MORNING GLORY CLUB.'
by George A. Kyle. (L. C. Page & Cn„
Inc.) Forjfale In Atlanta by Lester
Book and Stationery Company. “The
Morning Glory Club," by George
Kvle, starts oft with the general prop
osition. assumed by the female part of
the population of a small town, that ■
something must be done for the "up
lift" of the weaker (?) sex—crushed to
earth. Ilka truth, to rise, by the for
mation of a club—from which even
Hiy mention of the proper procedure l
of club formation practiced by the men
shall be eliminated.
It was discussed and Incorporated In
the by-laws and constitution of the,
Morning Glory Club that all gossip, or
anything approaching criticism of
neighbors, should not be tolerated.
Strange as It may seem to those who
know little about women's clubs, this
splendid undertaking—and well planned '
Incorporation—failed In Its "uplift" by
the breakage of its first and principal'
by-law. How this was done, how the
Ideals of the club were obscured by j
such ordinary, every-day happenings, i
as the birth of a baby next door to one
of the meetings of the club—and the !
struggle of the women to reach a vin- j
dltatlon of their efforts for the afore-1
said "uplift”—are delightfully and very j
amusingly told In "The Morning Glory
Club."
It does seem but fair to women that
they should be allowed to work out
their salvation personally, and unham
pered. also that they be likewise per
mitted to protect the rights of other
women, even If a majority of the latter
prefer a practice of the Monroe doc
trine (no foreign Interference). Wom

through a club, or with an ax, or
rolling-pin, should not be Interfered
with by mere men. But Is It so? "The
Morning Glory Club" fully shows how
women are persecuted. At first they

always has been, the fate of any re

Some critic has asked If "The Lady
of the Decoration” would be a new
"Mrs. Wtggs of the Cabbage Patch,"
the latter story having been written
by an Intimate friend of Miss Little.
The critic no doubt meant to Inquire
If Miss Little's book would be as great
a seller. An answer to this would be
hard to give, as discriminating readers
have very varying Ideas regarding
"Mrs. Wiggs," but it can be said with
truth that "The Lady of the Decora
tion" win certainly not be a new
"Sandy,” for which all readers should
be very thankful.
Miss Little has written a delightful
story, and struggling against the preju
dice which many readers have against
stories told by letters, she has over
come this prejudice through tlte
charming rendition of her art. "The
Lady of the Decoration” Is an unusual
ly pleasing book.

Ado’s style of humor, It only requires
his name on the title page of a book
to warrant a hearty welqome. "The
Slim Princess" adds to Mr. Ade's rep

that he has sent forth, with the possi
ble exception of his "Fables" and
"Artie"—and It certainly standa out
way ahead of those puerile descrip
tions of his trip abroad, which were
perpetrated In the newspapera some
time ago by syndicate contract.
"The Slim Prlncees" la a etory of a
young multl-mllllonatre, who, travel

finds many adventures, for which he Is
looking and which he eagerly and
ardently grasps. One of the adven
tures, thing! or persons, which he
literally grasps,, and with thrilling
finesse, it "The Slim Princess." This
alluring princess Is not In good repute.
In the bosom of her family, owing to
her slimness—It being absolutely nec
essary in har country for young girls

condition of affairs would not have
been so serious had not the princess
a younger slater who was, to say
the least, “buxom," and willing—yea
anxious to marry—but owing to the
laws of the land the younger slater
could not marry until the elder one
had been removed from the matrimo
nial scene of action. Hence the slim
princess' condition of “persona non
grata” at her own fireside. It Is at this
stage of the proceedings—while the
slim prlncees obscures her sister's
matrimonial outlook, that Mr. Alexan
der H. Pike, of Allegheny, Pennsyl
vania, arrives on tho scene of action—
sees and conquers. Around the oper

It Is very bright and very amusing.
It is free of any slang which might
even disgust the mast fastidious read
er, but there ore many absurd roanl]
ulattons of the "Quenn's," also M
Roosevelt's English, which add
charm to the reading of the book.
"The Slim Prlnceaa" fulfills tho

on the title page. Such a statement
should ordlnarly be a sufficient recom

‘THE DIARY OF DELIA,” By Onoto
Watanna. (Doubleday, Pago * Co).
Miss Onoto Watanna, as many read
ers know, has written some delightful
stories dealing with Japanese life.
The Diary of Delia” is about as for
j dlstanco from Japan, In a literary
flight of scene and action, as could
be imagined. The latter story Is Just
what Us name would signify—the "di
ary” of one "Della," Della being the
cook—of Hibernian persuasion—for n
family consisting of many peculiar and
Interesting qualities. Della, living up
to her Instincts, begins, and quits
work with a true-to-llfeneas that Is
surprising even to- one who has come
In contact with the servant question
In these parts.
The book Is written in the phonetic
spelling of Della's kind, but it is
more her views of life—her assistance
to two people In love—and her "Itlglt-
mlghtlness," that appeal to the every
day reader It Is a very hazardous
undertaking, tills phonetic spelling or
reform of the English, and while It
would not be pleasant to have our
dally mental food consist of such of
ferings—still the originality of Miss
Watanna's book—taken Internally, oc
casionally—very occasionally—Is en
joyable. One would not care for more
than one doBe u week of even ‘‘Charles
Jcanes Yollowplush.'
Della has many experiences, all of
which she exploits for our benefit In
her diary, and the reader follows he«
through the employment agencies and
back to her original Job, where her
heart becomes entangled In assisting
two young lovers who needed assist
ance about as much as any two people
ever did, upon this earth. The love
that never did run smooth (since the
rib-robbery), by the strong, capable
hands of Della, works out to a delight
ful ending. "The Diary of Della"
would make good reading for a sum

It It baldly necessary and well nigh
impossible in a brief review to give
more than the outline of this unusual
book whleh is an nccurato and Inter

expedition. It Is well worth reading
and Its perusal will give pleasure and
Information upon a subject unfamiliar
to the majority of even the best-read
persons. It Is an admirable contrlbu-

“THE MORNING GLORY CLUB.'
THE LONG LABRADOR TRAIL.
By Dillon Wallace. (The Outing Pub
lishing Company.)
In the summer of 1903 Leonidas Hub-
hard, Jr., and Dillon Wallace went to
Labrador to explore an unknown sec
tion of that wild, cold country. Tho
world has heard of the disastrous end
ing of that little expodltlon and how
Hubbard, fighting bravely wltb
dauntless heroism to the last, sue-
oumbed to starvation. Mr. Wallace
was able to reach human habitation and
lived to tell bis tale tn “The Lure of
the Labrador Wild," wblch was pub'
Halted some time ago. While Hubbard
and Wallace were struggling on the
first expedition, a compact was made
between these two men, that tn case
either of them should die the other
would carry to. completion the explora
tory work which had been planned and
begun.. As Is well known, Hubbard
gave up his life In this first expedition
and In "Tho Long Labrador Trail” Mr.
Wallace, the author, tells us how, in
1906, he carried out his port, of the
compact with Hubbard. Mr. Wallace
bays a very worthy tribute to Hubbard
when he says: "Not I, but Hubbard,
planned the Journey of which this book
tells and from him I received tho In
spiration and with him tho training
and experience that enabled me to suc
ceed."
"The Long Labrador Trail" la a very
valuable contribution to the literature
of discovery and adventure and the
author makes his book exceedingly In

to those who prefer their own firesides
to feasting upon porcupine and other
like delicacies In the polar regions, and
who have no craving for a glimpse of
the unattainable North Pole,

that this expedition was Intended to

never, so far as known, been, visited by
a white person. Wallace and his party

clearly defined exposition is given of
the purpose of this great work. The
preface states that the object of this

the achievements of her members, not

volume, the encyclopedia promises to
be the moat notable addition to refer

Its authoritative treatment of special
Catholic subjects, It offers a wealth of
reliable Information not to be found In
any kindred work. And It Is especially
Pleasant to noto that this Information
Is not presented tn an argumentative
fashion. The special authorities em
ployed confine themselves to an Im
partial statement of facts, and In the
majority of coses leave the reader with
the responsibility of drawing his own
conclusions. The encyclopedia Is Cath
olic in a dual sense. Its outlook on all
matters of dispute is one of great
eharlty, even of liberality.
