'Although the summer season Is narat
hand, when people are popularly supposed
io do lets reading than usual, the presses
of the great publishing houses are busily
employed . In turning out hooks of all
hinds. . During last week a number of
notable volumes came to band, some of
them of more than usual Importance.
An admirably told story of colonial days
In Maryland and Virginia Is "Sir Christo
pher." by Maria Wilder Goodwin. It Is &
romance of a Maryland manor in 1614, and
some of the characters who floured In Mrs.
Goodwin's "The Head of a Hundred" are
also seen In this story. This new romance
fcbow's a marked Improvement In the hand
ling of a plot, and the first half, which
deals with tbe unsuccessful suit of Sir
Christopher Neville lor the hand of Mlstrcsi
Elinor Calvert, contains home dramatk
passnpes. The two had been boy and girl
topcther In England, and Sir Christopher
follows Elinor to the colonics because he
cannot- pel hir lmapc out of his mind,
lie finds her a young widow, with one
son. as beautiful as when he first knew her
in England, and he persuades her to ac
cept him as tenant for the large farm In
Maryland which hat descended by inher
itance to her son. She Is glad to see
Neville again, but on tbeir first meeting, at
tbe house of her cousin, he quarrels with
a sour-tempered priest and thus revives
tbe old differences of religious faltb that
originally separated them. Sir Christopher
sets out at night to beg the priest's pardon,
hut Is attacked by a panther and loses
his knife In slaying the beast. Tbe priest
being found slain with Neville's knife Sir
Christopher Is arrested by the governor
and formally charged with the crime How
he Is spirited nway from the Jail, and by
what strange fortune, after a year, he re
turns In time to save the life of Elinor's
child and to make her happy, it would be
unfair to the reader to tell. It must suffice
to say that the mystery of the crime Ir
well preserved almost to the end. What
Mrs. Goodwin has done exceptionally well
Is to picture the manners and customs
of the colonies In the middle of the seven

of the life and public services of the great

no easy matter in such brief space to re

I'A Sailor' Log," by Admiral Roblcy D.
Evans, Is '.the most picturesque book of the
sea which we have had of recent years.
Admiral Evans, who Is known to eery
American, has been In active sea service
almost throughout a long and stirring
career, which has included two wars, a
near, approach to war In Chill, an exciting
campaign against piratical sealers in
Alaskan waters and adventures and strange
experiences in every quarter of the globe.
His earlier years afford a charming picture
of Virginian life before tbo war, from
which the. reader passes to thrilling Inci
dents of Indian fighting and buffalo bunt
ing on the plains while tbe boy was on
bis way to Utah to qualify for an appoint
ment, at Annapolis. The approach of the
war. the varied phases of service, the
bloody and dramatic assaulta upon Fort
risher and the. picture sketched Inci
dentally of tbe gallant young officer, un
daunted by wounds, offer chapters, of most
vivid Interest. In the pages which fol
low tHe reader passes from hunting trips
in. China, adventures with cobras In Singa
pore, or war clouds In Japan, to tales of
gbot iu tbe Mediterranean and land
cruises In Liberia and southern Africa. An
Inner view Is given of the acute Chilean
difficulties which so nearly led to war and
another fresh chapter of history is told'ln
the graphic accounts of the elever strategy
and ceaseless vigilance which demorallied
the pirates of the north on tbe sealing
grounds, Tbe reader Is introduced to the
Inception of the new navy, to the develop
ment of the ordnance department and work
of tbe lighthouse board and to otber phases
of . professional work, which are sketched
In language singularly eloquent, simple
and graphic At tbe opening of tbe Kiel
canal Admiral Evans saw much of the Ger
man emperor and personal recollections
of the kaiser fill many most entertaintng
pages. A poem by Kipling and a fresh
sketch of Intimate experiences In the
Spanish war are among the many brilliant
features of this remarkable book. "A
Sailor's Log" deplcta tbe old navy under
sail and the transition to the navy under
steam and the modern battleship. As a
midshipman Admiral Evans learned to go
aloft and furl sails, as a captain he has
commanded the cruiser New York Und tbe
battleships Indiana and Iowa. His book
suggests the extent and value of a naval

A Practical Alderman
When the young son of Totter Palmer
was sprung as a candidate for alderman at
tbe recent municipal campaign In Chicago
political rubtler and political organs re
garded his entrance Into politics as a great
joke. They treoted his candidacy as a
means df Increasing the gaiety of the cam
paign and chaffed him lu every Joint from
Monroe street to Lincoln park. His elec
tion was a surprise both to his backers and
to the opposition, and bis conduct since as
suming the role of alderman Is a succes
sion of surprises of an agreeable nature to
his constituents. The fact Is grudgingly
admitted by city hall mostbaeks that Honnre
Talmer is setting the pace for his assort
ates as a practical, common-sense official,
striving without band-wagon accompani
ment to Improve conditions hitherto neg
lected. A correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle
sketches some of the innovations Intro
duced by Alderman Palmer. The first was
the opening of an office at a central point
In his wprd, where be Installed a secretary
to receive calles and listen to complaints
In his absence. This occasioned jnore mirth
The Chicago papers sent special writers to
the office, and they described tbe furnlfh
Inrs and treated tbe, opening very much as
a social function. The fact that the first
caller was a srbscriptlon solicitor was
deemed especially amusing. But the people
nf the ward liked the Idea. It was gratify-
ing to know where the alderman could be
found; It was a satisfaction to know that
there was a place where all legitimate com
plaints would receive Immediate attention;
It was easier to go to the ward office than
to the city hall to sec about matters that
directly concerned the ward. Here was a
place where needed improvements could bo
discussed and tbe necessary action planned.
It mado tbe ward more of n unit than it
ever had been before.
Another ward ofhco bs been opened since
then and several aldermen are looking for
suitable locations. At present there is every
Indication that tbe ward office has come to
stay In the majority of Instances they
will not be as large as Mderman Palmer'fc
office nor as handsomely furnished but

business as can bo transacted outside of tbe
city ball will receive attention And why
not Why should not every ward in a
great city have its own headquarters, to
which the people can repair when anything
is seriously wronc When necessary, mat
ters can be referred from this office to tbe
proper department of tbe city government
with every assurance of receiving a prompt
consideration that probably would be de
nied them In other circumstances. It Is
n good thing for the ward and a good thing
for the city hall. It simplifies everything
and it keeps the alderman in touch with the
rcople he is serving.
That wb6 the beginning of the aldermanlc
revolution. Another shock came to the
mostbaeks when Alderman Palmer under
took to exercise a certain amount of per
sonal supervision over his ward. He, with
bis colleagues, investigated everything,
especially the condition of the streets and
alleys. They undertook to see that the
contractors and city departments were do
ing their work properly and that household
ers were doing their share toward keeping
the ward In pjoper and presentable condi
tion. Other aldermen bad given this mat
ter desultory attention, but Palmer went
at it In a businesslike way. "Young men
are so entertainingly ambitious, you know "
Hut somehow .he results of this were so
pleasing to the people that half a dozen
aldermen are now giving personal attention
to tbe streets coi alleys of tbelr respective
wards, and Alderman Scully of the Thlr-
teenth ward has proved his ability to rise
to an emergency by using an automobile
lor his inspection trips Such is the effect
of example. There is today a real rivalry
between aldermen to see who can give the
closest attention to and accomplish the
most for bis ward. It should not be un
derstood that they were totally neglected
before, but tbey received no such supervis
ion as tbey do now largely because of
young Palmer's ' arousing enthusiasm."
-Vest the youthful alderman took up the
playground question. This has been re
ceiving nttentlin for some time, and a
movement already Is on foot to have the
city establish playgrounds for children m
the more congested districts

Tbe old method was to rely on the city
for everything, tbe Palmer method Is to do
a little work for one's self. The city plan
Is good, but it will take time. In the mean
while the Palmer plan glveb immediate re
sults. Fo tho young man applied to his
father and easily secured permission to use
two vacant lots that the latter owned, and
thereupon it occurred to i.ome other alder
men that there were other vacant lots that
might be utilized. They looked about and
found a number of property owners who
were, quite willing to loan their lots for such
a purpose, merely reserving tbe right to
take possession rgain whenever they might
have occasion to sell them or build upon
them. Some few of tbe nioney-grasping
kind wanted a rental, but there were plenty
who were willing to contribute this much
toward tbe pleasure and health of the
youngsters, and now there Is promise of
playgrounds In all quarters of the city.
In appearance Alderman Palmer Is a
sltgbt young man, with a smooth face and
a quiet, pleasing manner. As would be ex
pected, be dresses well, tut never so as to
attract attention When he opened his
office tbe paper told how he was uttired,
now they tell what he does. Their Jibes

"But they don't seem to understand how

tbey are Just the proper caper for their

great clumsy shoes under an atrociously j
short overskirt, and how he does like all
the pretty trifles that are a woman's by
right'"
And as I listened I knew that he was'
correct, scarfs do not belong with any
waist, unless the ends are concealed by
tbe outer. Jacket. A bow tie or a stock Is
the only really appropriate finish for a
shirtwaist. The latter may Include a
four-in-hand, but it should be short enough
to allow of flowing ends. No knot was
ever prettier for negligee wear than the
sailor, but the long, stiff tie, so held, be
longs to man's attire and may well be left
to him. lf every masculine friend or rel
ative does not tell you so, believe me, deli

them rejoice that womanly garments are
