All but one, which burned like n tired eye beneath the ornate staircase. Tho misty quiet of midnight, which is as heavy as a veil, hung in the corridors Mis Gertio Dobriner entered first and holding wide the door between them, Alphonse Mi chclson at the front wheels, they tilted the wblto carriage up the narrow stair case, their whispers iloating through tho gloom.

Reflections After the Skidding Accident Reflections, that show Weed Tire Chains as the only real dependable device for the prevention of skidding, do not come to motorists until their bare rubber tires skid and carry them upon the rocks of disaster. How strange it is that some men are never guided by the experience of others, never take the lesson home to themselves until too late. They read the newspaper accounts of disastrous skidding accidents caused by lack of Weed Tire Chains but they do not heed the warning. They wa'it until the skidding of their own bare tires results in death, injury or car damage before they realize that tires are Safe on wet-slippery-skiddy roads only when encased in Weed Tire Chains. iMlllMnrTPl TBsHpftit n tif "Don't woke htai Gert."

The whole book is gossipy nnd chatty and familiar, with occasional bursts of rhetoric without which no writing by Watterson would bear the marks of authenticity. But in spite of all its merits the book is a disappointment, It was evidently written from, week to week ns it ap peared originally in the Saturdm r.cning Post. In no other way is it possible to account for its repetitions and the fragmentarj character of many of its passages. The leader Will ie grot that Mr Watterson did not make a plan for his book before he staited it, u pliu that would hac iuvohed a thorough digestion of his muteiial and a classification of it according to topic.

He rejoices In the given name Derek, is the son of Lord Avonleieh and the brother of Evan Trcvanyon P.'ount The novel upholds all the trnelltions of the old English aristocracy, even to the names, nnd there is a proper back ground of ancestral halls and family portraits nnd afternoon teas on spread ing lawns. Moreover, the book is really good, despite its wordiness. Derek is the misunderstood son of a statesman whose choice of a family, with the exception of Dei ok. was not especially bril'iant. Eviti Trcvanyon Blount is all name. And Linn and Ins "ladv mother" (very English) are cast pretty much in the same mold. 'Ihev don't afford quite the support that might be expected for Lord Avonleigh, who has n strongly modeled nose and chin, and whose eyes shoot forth a navvls like clcam." Young Derek doesn't take kindly to the thought of tea nnd chocolates under the jews ou the family estates lie desires to see life at first baud, in all its toughness nnd cruditj, so cinigintes to Canada Then' he acquires a "lean blown fare and an expert knowledge of lumbering, and involves himself in a romance as highly creditable to his sense of e hivolrj as it is improbable. Tho war takes Derek back to En land, by way of India, where his father is stationed. India generally figures in Miss Diver's stories. And once back in England, Derek buckles manfully down to the duties he hnd shirked that he might see how others lived, finds his brother In the meshes of German plot ters and finally straightens things out in gicut shape and wins the happiness ho most assuredly deserves. One of the best done purts of th hook is the prologue, in which Miss Diver clcverlv gives the leudcr a clear insight into the opposite characteis and temperaments of the two brothers who dominate the stor.v. 1IIB STTtONel HOUltS, lly Maud Diver New lork Houghton Mifflin Co $1 0 A Lively Romance The anonymous nuthor ot "Patricia Brent, Spinster," one of the ni6st cn tcrtaiuing fictional by-products of the wnr, has written u livelv romance in "The Rain Curl."
