"She tells, for Instance, ot tho npolo gles for being lato offered ono morning by tho cashier at ono ot her workshops," I wont on. "Tho woman said sho was standing at tho door of her houso with a shawl over her head looking down tho stieet. Sho saw a hcarso approaching with n child's collln In It. A soldier was walking nlono behind It, weeping. Sho did not know what Impelled her to do It, but bho inn out Into tho strcot slipped her nnn In tho soldier's nnd walked along bcsldo him.

Other people followed, and by tho tlmo they l cached tho cemetery thcro were a dozen or moto ln tho llttlo pro cession formed spontaneously ln order that tho man who was fighting for them nil might not feci that ho was alono ln his grief." "Thank God for such women," said Doctor McFabre with a llttlo catch In his voice. "France Is full of them," said I, "and it we nto ever put to tho same test we shall find that Amctlca does not lack them cither. There nro unpleasant things ln the book, for Madamo Waddington tells how tho Get mans backed her chateau at Mat cull beforo they were checked ln their rush toward Paris. Sho was at tho cha teau with her daughter-in-law and her two young grandsons when tbo war broko out. Sho tells how the llttlo boys on tho first night prayed that God would bless their father and mother, both grandmothers and all who loved them. Then after a pause they went on, 'Bon DIeu, prcservez '. France.' They were less than ten years old. I-ator In the evening, at a time when tho children should havo been asleep, sol diers marched by in tho road. Tho family went out to look at them, and fcoon two llttlo forms In white nightgowns wcro seen running ncross the lawn barefooted shouting 'Vivo l'nrmee! Vive la France!' It was not long afterward that tho chil dren were taken to Paris becauso they know only too well what would happen to them If German soldiers should havo appeared and tho boys should havo onco moro shouted 'Vive la France!' Mad amo Washington gives a most vivid picture of tho effect of war upon tho llfo and temper of the people. Sho does not generalize, but tells what happened if this place, how that woman acted when her son was killed, how another kept her smllo until her husband was out of sight on his way to the front and therburst Into tears. It Is a most Interesting vol ume." "Her method seems to bo llko that ot Kola, as sho piles up a mass of details illustrating her point," said Owen. "I would hardly say that," said I. "Tho effect Is tho same, but thero Is no con scious method. Sho Is merely writing down the story of things that sho heard nnd saw. ln order to keep a record of thorn." "Is tho other book you mentioned as good as this ono?" Doctor McFnbro asked. "It Is good ln a very different way. Mil dred Aldrich, who rented a houso near Meaux, not far from Madame "Wadding ton's chateau, told tho story of tho battle of tho Marne, a part of which sho saw from her grounds. It was published a year or so ago. Sho has now continued the story of tho war as It affected her lite ln her houso on the hilltop. The Ger mans did not come back, but tho French soldiers wcro continually moving about tho country. Somo of them were quar tered ln her houso for a time. Others of them camo to her for books to read. The current of military life ebbs and flows about her all the time, and she describes It in a series of letters beginning; with September 16, 1914, and ending with April 8 of tho current year, after America had entered the war. As she Is an American who has become saturated with the feel lng of tho French, sho rejoices with the other1 Allies nt the action of Congress. She says that tho only thing that is Important now Is that 'tho major part of the peoples of the world are standing upright on their feet, lifting their arms with a great shout for Liberty, Justice and Honor, and that a war of brute force for conquest has de feated itself.' You like that way ol putting It, don't you, Owen?" "Of course I do. If that Is the way she feels I shall have to read her book." GEORGE W. DOUGLAS. MT WAR DIAHY. By Mary Kins: "iVaddlnaton.

Maynard tc Co., fl.25. Why We Fight What the Germans did ln llelglum during tho first weeks of tho war will remain for ever a blot upon the civilization of tho twen tieth century. If tho German soldiers, both officers and men, had been savages, they could havo been guilty of no worse atroci ties. But they were members of a race that has' produced somo of the finest things- In music, painting, literature and philosophy. Something might bo offered in Extenuation and excuse It It were possible to assume that tho army had gone mad, but tho facts prove that tho outrages were the result of deliberate planning. The story of them has been told In many ways nnd by many men. The latest summary comes from Arnold T, Toynbee, who lias gono through tho record and written a chronological narrative of what happened from tho beginning of tho Invasion to tho sack of Louvnln. Ho tells how civilians were burned to death in their houses, how old men and women and chil dren wero bayoneted by tho ptildlerB, how girls were outraged, how priests were killed and how civilians who had received tho sol diers with courtesy Wcro murdered on tho slightest pretext. Ho cites tho evidence that proos design. He does It nil calmly, letting tho facts tell their own story of tho most inhumnn rnld ever mndo by a nation that has any pretenso of cUlllzatlon. Ills book ought to be read by every American who wishes to know something about tho char acter of tho Imperial German Government with which we nro now at war.

Wo do not care for Welles-Hewitt any how, ho was not a good man; perhaps a judgment detcended upon him so that he fell dead and was not murdered. "But," observes, tho author, "there really Is a motive, you know. Take, for Instance, this character; recall how his mother was treated by Welles-Hewitt." "But." wo argue, "ho could not havo done it; he la not that kind, and besides, ho can provo nn alibi." Thus wo go on, alternately accusing ana relieving from blamo every suspected diag notor In tho book. Wo arrive at tho In evitable standstill.

Ho has been scurrying across theso pages In tho most excited fashion.
