In a modern manelon Ju-t ouUIde of our beautiful city a daughter ot Vir ginia ban been dreaming.

It la per fect and entrancing. We catch the perfume of tea-roaea. the rich glory of old gardena. the clear notes of freah young voices, the beau tiful white light of love, which perme ates the one hundred and fifty pagea of this Interesting txwjk. It Is the story of Virginia In the language and feeling of one of Vir ginia's humble children. Mrs. Dooley reproduces the atmos phere of the land of her nativity. She has ilvcd the life; she gives It to those Who have lived It also, and to those who new. had this sacred privilege ►he makes it so vivid, so sincere, that thev feel defrauded, Inasmuch aa they never basked In the soft sunshine of a Virginia plantation. Between the lines we read strong vails for truth and equity, and a Stream of purity and high thought lions amidst tho pathos and humor of the simple story like silver threads. one more star has risen upon Vir ginia's literary horizon-arisen, we trust, 1„ send forth other rays of well-direct ed thought. •Dem Good Ole Times" Is beautifully Illustrated, and reflects credft upon the publishers, Doubleday.

The Bobba-Merrlll Com pany. publishers, Indianapolis. •Mr. Herbert Strang has been hailed by the British critics as the only writer In the field of historical Action capable of tilling the place of the lamented G. A. Ilenty. The London Graphic says: •111 military tales Mr. Herbert Strang Mils fair to prove the Elisha to the late Mr. llenty's Elijah." The London Truth yoiimients: "Mr. Henty's mantle nitty most worthily be worn by Mr. Herbert Strang." In any event, Mr. Strang Is today, ■w Mr. Henty was yesterday, the writer Qf books dearest to the heart of a boy. The India of a hundred and fifty years ago is a subject full of romantic possibilities, and It has been chosen by Mr. Strang ns the scene of his latest and best story. Following his' usual plan, the author has selected one or momentous historical events as the background of a stirring story of ad venture. Having lived for several years on the actual spot where some of the mo«t striking Incidents happened, he is able to Impart an atmosphere and local color to his narrative with suc cess. The story Is briefly as follows: Desmond Burke, a native of Market Drayton, tho birthplace of Robert Clive, is Induced by one Marmaduke Higgle, in the autumn of 1754, to seek hlz for tune In India. He Is sold by Dtggle to the famous ‘‘Pirate’’ of Gherla. by whom he Is kept as a slave until lie escapes by a feat of matchless daring and Ingenuity. He meets £11 ve in Bombay, accompanies him In the ex pedition against Gherla, and sailing to Calcutta, arrives there on the eve of Slrajuddaula'e siege and the “Black Hole.” Disguising himself as a lascar, he And* means to do great service tor Clive, at the same time going through exciting private adventures on the track of Dlggte. Ho has a part In Clive’s great victory at Plassey, brings Dlggle finally to book, and gains for his wife a fair maiden Avhom he has saved from the villain. Many Interesting minor characters are introduced, Including one William Bulger, a British sailor-man, and a Babu of Bengal. Mr. Ralney'e accom plished brush has never been seen to greater advantage than in this story, his Illustrations being marked by ad mirable zest and vigor. Marguerite Merlngton In which EL Sothern and Virginia Harned made one of their earliest and greatest successes, has Just been brought out In book form by The Bobbs-Merrill Company. It Is Illustrated with photographs of the play and arranged from the prompt book used In the original Lyoeum pro duction. The lines throughout are capitally clever. Meredith Nicholson, author of Tho House of a Thousand Candles, has Just returned from Europe. He reports that the most remarkable condition he found nliroad was tho lack of drinking water. Many times In ninny places ho ac quired a genuine American thirst for a glass of Ice water. He looked In vain for It In most cases, but a favorite re sort which he discovered was the office of the American Express Company In' London, where a supply was always on hand. A new story by Mr. Nicholson, called "The Port ot Missing Men." be gins In the November number of The Reader Magazine. The fashion chroniclers announce that Si oirh plaids are the thing for tbla winter. Meredith Nicholson, the author of thnt tal- Inw-dripping romance. "The llonee of a 'Bhou.nmt Candles," was delighted to learn of this on hla return from a summer In Scotland, where he dernted several months lo a study of the history of tartan*. a mill ion which lind long Interested him. lie .ins seeuuiulsted a considerable library of I moke ou the subject, and haa collected specimens of practically all the plaids known In Scottish annals for some literary use which he tins not yet disclosed. The Nlelmls.m plaid la one of the most gorgeous of oil, niul Mr. Nicholson paid considerable duty nt the New York customs house on the scarfs, dress patterns, Glengarry lion* nets, etc., which he brought home for mem bers of hie elan. It will be remembered that the tnm-o‘.shanter worn by the heroine of "The House of a Thousand Candles." mid so charmingly Illustrated by t'hrlstv. started a boom lu tame which swept tue country.
