While th. suthor ad heres to a belief la evolution, he believes scientists csanot get areuad tke first great cause, or divine wisdom of some kind that breathed the breath of life Into man and he became a living soul. "Ths Stirrup Cup," by J. Aubrey Tyson, is sn American story which seems certain of popularity. It desls with the esrly life of Aaron Burr, bis first courtship and mar riage. This is a most agreeable part of Burr's life to those who regret the later clouds thst Injured bis reputation. ' Mr. Tyson has told ths story with much clever ness and refinement. In literary craftsmsn shlp he hss risen to a level distinctly above the average In current fiction. The series to which the book belongs is sn attractive on. typographically and In point of binding. Published by Appleton. "Msrjorie," by Justin Huntley McCarthy, Is published by R. H. Russell, who also brought out "If I Were King," by the samo author. Mr. McCarthy has nhn wn arret ra. psclty for writing Interesting romance, for be never allows his seal in behalf of any character or situation to lead him beyond the pale of probability, but instead makes all most distinctly human and natural. "Marjorie," deals with a couple of young men snd ss many young women, who lived In an English seaport town part of their lives, snd who had many adventures abroad snd on the deep blue In the days when the "Jolly Roger" still flew from many a fore peak and the genial custom of walking the plank had not fallen into desuetude. But the pirates are only incidental; the tsle is a tragsdy of love, and one which we will doubtless bear of being made over Into a play. "Ths Boy Land Boomer" by Ralph Bone hlll relates ths sdveutures of a lad, Dick Arbuckles, who with his father join, a number of daring men In an attempt to occupy the rich farming lands of Oklahoma before th. time when that section of our country was thrown open to settlement under the homestead act. The story tells of the difficulties they meet, how Dick is captured by "Yellow Elk," an Indian, who puts him In s deserted cabin where he meets Nellie Wiothrope, who is slso a prisoner there. The two escape together and the story closes with a pretty love story. Published by The Saalfleld Publish ing company. "A Puritan Knight Errant," by Edith Robinson and published by L. C.

French women to provide themselves with wigs In keeping with their rapidly aging faces. Their wigs were brown and on account of poverty they were unable to purchase others. Their humiliation at tho f disparity between their young wigs and old faces Is pitiful. Finally they decided upon a plan ot financiering by which, In time, each was to be furnished with the cov eted gray wig. Their fortunes were to be combined, therefore there could be but one bought st a time, so they derided to csst lots to determine who should have th. first one. The magnanimous spirit the loser displayed Is touching and a lesson In unselfishness could well be emulated. The other stories sre "ChasseCrolse," "The Woman Beater," "The Eternal Feminine," "The Silent Sisters," "Ths Big Bow Mys tery," "Merely Msry Ann" snd "The Serio Comlo Governess." Each of the stories de picts with wonderful sccursry the frsll ltles and varying natures of humanity, es pecially of femininity. "Discords," by Anna Alice Chapln, Is a collection of short stories, csch effectually Illustrating the title. The stories ere drawn from a not Improbable or Impossible side of life, and from a noble side. In that the principal characters seemingly strive to make smends, for their own special "dis cords." One. of them, "The White Gar den," is a story of a woman who heart lessly trifled with the affections of a man, afterward be was stricken with blindness; she come to him and fn a aweet, simple way devoted the remainder of her life to his tare.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY I 1' In almost absurd contrast to th. women Interested In the St. Louis exposition, who disdained a woman's building, sre th. women of Oregon, who, accord.Vg to re port, are contending for the privilege ot erecting a woman's building st th. Lewis and Clark exposition to be held In Port land. The Portland Federation of Clubs, the strongest local organization of women, adopted plans for such a building as their principal work for the next two years. They had hardly completed their arrange ments when Mrs. Edyth Toiler Weatherred, who was a commissioner from Oregon to the Pan-American exposition, organised an association of women under the name of the Lewis snd Clark club, with the same objeot. The new organization seems not the least disturbed by the indignant criti cism of the Portland fedoratlon, and even offered to "co-operate" with It, but evi dently has no intention ot giving up Its own plans.

"Cliveden" la an historical romance by Kenyon Weat, favorably known aa the au thor ot several books of fiction and criti cism. The story, which Is quick in scttoc, picturesque In scene snd dramatic In situa tion, centers In the famous Chew house. In Germantown, during the Revolutionsry war, at the times when tLe battles of Brandywtne and Germantown were being fought and the British General Howe was threatening the native forces. Both sides of ths struggle srs represented, the Amer ican pstriots snd the British redcoats, and a charming love story Is developed, in which the principals are s well-born Amer ican beauty snd s British officer with a noble character. Th. Chew residence Is !n a stats of siege, and the attempts of a British spy to wreck ths fortunes of Gen eral Washington, who Is only a tew miles off, make exciting reading. The volume la given an appropriate patriotic dress. Pub lished by the Lolhrop Publishing company. The above books ar. for sal. by th. M- geath Stationery Co., Mut Faraam strsst. The Prussian Diet has been wrestling recently with the really serious problem ot establishing high schools for girls, snd some weighty argument has been presented against any such experiment, for the edu cation of women Is still In its experiments! stage In Prussia.
