the year It is not story although it treats with the fall at Troy and of course the face is that of HelM It i not an essay of Mr Hewlett permits the reader to draw his own conclusion Really it might be termed a lightning flash on the character of Helen It is handled in such a way that one can hardly help seeing the ancients whose names are so familiar in their everyday garbs and pursuits Rut Helen of course is the character- of the story and one cannot help but rise to her defense after all these aeons that she has been held to view as the personification of fickleness And aiory as put in her mouth by the author is such a pleading defense that it is impossible not to get the force of the appeal Helen In the first place according to this mythologist was not kidnaped by Paris but accompanied him to Troy when he told her that King Mene lana her husband was there that he did not intend to return which leaves the cause of that famous siege in the dark But during these years when she was a passive captive her heart yearned for her daughter and her husband and her one instinct was that of motherhood and vffehood Her meeting with her husband by the walls of the city led her to believe that she could find appreciation of her talents and opportunity life wife and she allied the plot that brought about the fail of the city It was only to learn that Menelaus like Paris thought only of her beauty and that appreciation of the existence of her heart still was lacking Finally I in her loathing she slew Menelaus with lieved was a faithful servant av hon- estly anxious to eul her unbappiness Of course she fonnju thai the servant too admired beauty and Helen ended her with her silken girdle The book is worth reading The Ruinous Pace Maurice Hew- lett Harper A Co New York net

J

Some of the Publishers Latest Offerings-In the Seasons Best Books and Magazines

I

The Ruinous n is one of thestriking books of the year It is notstory although it treats with the fallat Troy and of course the face isthat of HelM It i not an essay

of Mr Hewlett permits the readerto draw his own conclusion Really itmight be termed a lightning flash onthe character of Helen It is handledin such a way that one can hardly helpseeing the ancients whose names are sofamiliar in their everyday garbs andpursuits

Rut Helen of course is the character-of the story and one cannot help butrise to her defense after all these aeonsthat she has been held to view as thepersonification of fickleness And

aiory as put in her mouth by theauthor is such a pleading defense thatit is impossible not to get the force ofthe appeal

Helen In the first place according tothis mythologist was not kidnaped byParis but accompanied him toTroy when he told her that King Menelana her husband was there thathe did not intend to return whichleaves the cause of that famous siegein the dark But during these yearswhen she was a passive captive herheart yearned for her daughter andher husband and her one instinct wasthat of motherhood and vffehood Hermeeting with her husband by the wallsof the city led her to believethat she could find appreciation of hertalents and opportunity life

wife and she allied the plot thatbrought about the fail of the city

It was only to learn that Menelauslike Paris thought only of her beautyand that appreciation of the existenceof her heart still was lacking Finally

I in her loathing she slew Menelaus with

lieved was a faithful servant av hon-estly anxious to eul her unbappinessOf course she fonnju thai the servanttoo admired beauty and Helenended her with her silken girdleThe book is worth reading

enjoyed The Garden of Allah will becarried away with the authorsand Infinitely better story Bella-Donna

This book was first given the titleThe Knock On the Door but on the

suggestion of a noted literary critic thename was changed

The story opens in London but soonchanges to the Nile with the desertsand the temples of Egypt and thisbackground is particularly to the

The book is a strangely drawn pictureof a good man who sees the ideal Inevery phase of life and an Intriguingwoman whose selfishness and utterlack of soul are appalling and wboseevery thought life is sor-didly material

The plot is clever and is consistentlyworked out the Intrigue is adroitlymanaged and the interest is intensefrom the first page to the test

Donna By Robert lichen TB Lippincott

LightsSir Gilbert Parker has given us nNorthern Lights a collection of short

stories mostly new ones which everylover of the open should read

This writer knows the French Can-adian and the Canadian Indian Heknows their loves and their hates andpossesses the happy faculty of carry-ing the reader into the great forestswhere one catches the spicy odors of theSpruce and hemlock He takes youwhere after the days tramps with asoul throbbing with a newly found lovefor nature we sit in the warmth andglow the Warning fire of the abinsof the settlement There the crackleof the blaze and the murmur of thepines lulls the tired senses and we slip
