Betty's nimble fingers stopped In their

a typewriter In a business school. She
Jumped quickly around the chair, all lis

principal of the school speaking to his
secretary nbout a position for her.
Her four jears In high school had
simply been one good time after an

So it went, wltli dances, nnd parties at

But such Ideas of a position aB Betty
had! That was the trouble, so her
mother said she was entirely too ro

as the principal came In she greeted him.

"Weil, Betty." he laughed, "do vou

for that joung lawjer In the mahogany

"Well, more so than in an office in -the

He liked Betty ahd knew she would
make good, If she got Into the right

"Oh, Isn't It wonderfully quaint? I
know I'll Just adore working here." This
is what Betty thought as she Jumped out
of the cab in front of the place where
she waft to spend her first 'working

low, rambling green and white house,
surrounded bv tall pines and with Just
a sparkling glimpse of the lake In back.
Betty liked It, but oh. she was scared,
"What shall I say?" All the way up on
the train she had tried to find an an
swer to this question, but there seemed
to be none. Of course, she had re
ceived all sorts of advice before she left
for Xevv Hampshire, but that did not
seem to be of any use. However, she
walked bravely In, up to the desk, pre
sented her card and asked for the pro

THE GREAT WAR
AS A MELTING POT
',i
The Castles- in Their Latest
Nqvel Show Hovi It Burns
the Dross Away
"Mlnnlirleii" h- ihe Castles Is not a
war novel, but it has the Influence of
the vvar over It. Tho authors) nave
made no conscious effort to keep tho war
out of their pages, as Mr. Dick tried to
obliterate the head of K'" Charles from
his memorial. But they do not force
the vvar Into a background and atmos
phere for ihelr plot, Karly days of the
battling fit In with the story ana epi
sodes In the hospitals, brought under a
fiew burden of labor and hew strain of
activity by the war, are also germane
tb the nnrratlve. But the chief aspect
of the war shown Is the transformation
of British Ideas and Ideals by the great
fight for human freedom, tho marked
and extraordinary cleavage from Old
lines, both social and economic. An In
terpretatloh of the reaction ot the suf
fragists td the war Is also given. The
heroine Is a-joung Kngllsh society girl,
Uie hero the youthful laird of an estate
In (the wild Cameron country of Scot
land. The ccenes vary from the High
lands In Inhrlnn.
Theirs Is bv no means a love affair of
facility. Before the happy termination
Is reached there are numerous compli
cations of romance, with Us mlsunder
standings, and adventures of genuine
thrllllhgness. The froth and frivol Of a
London "season, the mjsterlous mists
of the north of Britain with a girl lost
in the depths, the earnest and drastic
methods of the suffragists, nil keep tho
slory In active motion. The Castles In
this latest novel have written with
deeper feeling and more realism than
In many of their other books. They
show now- In the Vneltlng pot of the
great war the futile, Ihe superficial and
tho selfish, ull parts of the normal na

Current Magazines
The September number of the Book
man Is the first to appear with the
Imprint of Its new publishers, the George
H. Doran Company. It Is No. 1 of the
forty-eighth volume of this distinguished
literary magazine. If the succeeding
numbers are as Interesting an this o.ie
there will be Justification for Its con
tinued life for another forty-seven j-ears.
There aVe some changes In the typo
graphical make-up, but the greatest
change Is in the character of the con
tents. Excellent as the old .Bookman
was with Its solid articles and chatty
gossip, the new Bookman Is more mod
ern and In closer touch with the pre
vailing literary currents and the popular
literary interests. Among the contribu
tors are Joseph Hergeshelmer, who
writes a racj- and unusual confession of
hoV he became a novelist, and Christo
pher Morley, who begins a supplemen
tary volume to hlB delightful "Parnas
sus on Wheels" with the first Install
ment of "Parnassus at Home." Henrj'
San Dj-ke has some things -to say about
the tradition of American letters In
diplomacy which Is Inaccurate In seme
or its facts. Arnold Bennett writes of
"Tho Fear of Knowledge," and there is
the first chapter of a serial by Hugh
Walpole beside many other interesting
articles.

The Making of a Man
Clarence Buddlngloh Kclland's re
cently published story of the Xorthern
Xevv Ingland lumber camps, "The
Source," has now wop lis way to the
motion picture screen. This may not
be a crlterloh of Its literary merit, but
at least It shows that the book has been
popular with the reading public. Motion
Picture, producers as a rule are clever
Judges of the public's likes and .dis
likes. It should be said for "The
Source," however, that besides being a
capita) storj-, It Is exceedingly well
written. The tale Is of a man of re
finement and education who becomes
what the lumbermen very bluntly but
truly call a "bum." Shanghaied and
taken to the woods with other social
outcasts, ho Is a sorry nnd pitiable
figure when first Introduced to the
reader. But the enforced outdoor life,
combined lth a woman's influence, pro
vides the proper stimulation, and the
creature "comes back" and becomes a
man.
