CURRENT LITERATURE.
"An Honor Girl," by Evlyn Raymond.
Illustrated by northa O. Davidson, la a
bright, helpful tory of a fclrl who aa the
valedictorian and "honor girl" of her clM
at high iichool wins a nrholarhlp which
would take her through Wellfeley college.
Family reverses bring It home to her that
duty demand that he devote herself to
helping her parents and wayward brother
to face the future better than they aeem
likely to. Bhe heroically aurrendera her
prim' and with a brave humor says that
ehe has matriculated In the college of life,
the hard features of which ahe happily
styles the "faculty," with "Prof. Poverty,"
which prove excellent teachem, aided by
"Prof. Cheerfulness." . Kind friends are
won by her couruge, her lirother achieves
manly character and the family are finally
ro-eatabllfhed on the road to prosperity
all better, happier and more to each other
than. had selfishness not been so well met
and overcome by "an honor girl." Lee ft
Shepard are publishers.
In "The Tomboy at Work," by Jeannette
Glider, "the tomboy" has become a "busi
ness girl," much to the chagrin of the
family, for In those days it was the men
who did the work and the women re
mained at home and lived on sentiment.
Tomboy had great dreams of some day
being a wonderful newspaper woman, at
least of working on a great newspaper,
and after some experience In other lines
her dreams were realized. Bhe worked In
Kit lines from office work and reporting to
writing the "leader." One time In New
York she applied for a position and was
given the book reviews and, oh shades of
those good old times when the men did the
work, her salary was to be $30 per week.
Tomboy succeeded beautifully at every
thing she undertook, as women and girls
have a faculty of doing. Sometimes It 1
different with boys and men, as the follow
ing Incident related by the author will
show:
"I would like to write for your maga
sine," he said, as one who had only to be
touched to spout poetry or proBe.
"What sort of writing," said Dlxey, by
way of encouraging him and also of draw
ing him out.
"It Is a matter of Indifference to me,"
said the young man pompously, "either
original or copying."
Dlxey fled to the back of the room to
hide his emotions. "I would advise you to
try copying,"' he said; "it will give you a
wider range of subject" Doubleday, Page
ft Co., publishers.
In a very handsome book, with each
page elaborately decorated and with nu
merous full page illustrations, Maurice
Maeterlinck has many Interesting things
to say of "Our Friend, The Dog." The
frontispiece is a photograph of "a beauti
ful natural monster that has compiled
strictly with the laws of Its species." The
author says: "We are alone, absolutely
alone on thin chance planet, and amid all
the forma of life that surround us not one,
excepting the dog, has made an alliance
with us." The one especial dog mentioned
in the book is "Pelleas." The author does
not in any way refer to the subject, but
PQBslbly we are left to imagine from the
pen picture, the shadow of resemblance, if
any exists, between this Pelleas and the
Knight of the Round Table, in the Ar
thurian cycle of romance. Pelleas lived to
be Just 6 months old, yet he attained a won
derful degree of intelligence. From this
and his devotion, Mr. Maeterlinck seems
to have largely drawn his conclusions. He
carefully notes the characteristics re
vealed In the short life of his pet and
compares it with that of man, other ani
mals and the plant world. His conclusion
Is "that the dog who meets with a good
master is the happier of the two." Dodd
Mead ft Co.
"For the White Christ," by Robert Ames
Bennet, (A. C. McClure ft Co.), is one of
the pretentious books of the season, al
though issued at popular prices. From an
artistic standpoint the letter press work
and illustrations are good, there being a
number of color plates and the border de
signs by Troy and Margaret West Kinney.
The story is one of the days of Charle
magne, king of the Franks, and the hero
Is a northman one of the precoursers of
those sea wolves who later ' wrested from
the Franks a portion of the northern coast
and gave ar line of kings to England. There
Is an Interesting love story Interwoven
with the incidents of battle and foray of
the rough times of which the novel treats
river wolves and ' witches, followers of
Thor and Odin, plot and fight and there
is a suggestion of that protest against the
way of the church of Rome, which is, to
ay the least, a little far-fetched, consider
ing the time and place. The story is
well written and the characters, If possi
ble, well drawn. The book is not one
which will live as the works of Scott have
lived, but it is much above the usual run
of "current literature."
"Comrades In Arms," a tale of army life
in two hemispheres, by General Charles
King. The story Is divided into three parts.
"What Happened in the West," "What
Happened in the East" and "What Hap.
pened in Gotham." In the west a rather
sensational period Is covered and the foun
dation for a splendid love story laid. In
the east the scene is Manila, where the
love story also shifts. We are given many
pictures of army life in this new "posses
sion," thrilling and nerve trying. Tho love
story also grows more Interesting. Finally
our friends "who have had enough of fight
ing savages on scriptural principles" come
home and In Gotham there is a happy cul
mination of nil love affairs, and everything
comes out all right. Published by 1 lobar t
Publishing company.
To Its series of select novels in paper
covers J. B. Lipplneott company has Just
added "'Cadets of Gascony," one of trie
moat popular books of fiction, by Burton E.
Stevenson; "Tho Mistress of Brae Farm,"
by Rosa Nouchette Carey, and "The Magto
