X*Qur Library TabWf A\Flv Minutes wtTM THttfgSft BOOK* t "SUlnner* Dress Suit," by Henry Irving Dodge. (Houghton, Mifflin Co.. $1.00). When Thomas Carlyle wrote Sartor Resartus he evidently did not figure on the ultimate arrival, in the realms of clothes, of "Cage-Man Skinner," cash ier. the "walk-in-the-slush, sit-in-tlie corner, watch - the -other-fellow-dance, male-wallfiower proposition." Skinner was a man who didn't figure on the value of appearances in achieving suc cess and the book deals with his awakening and his final demand on his bosses for a third ownership in the business. It is a history of a dress suit and a humorous dilation on the value of the personal equation and an appreciation of human nature in making for suc cess in the business world. It is a bright and sparkling entertainer of an hour. "Mr. Ilrittllr.g Sees It Through," by H. G. Wells (MacMillan & Co., New Tory), is essentially a war story. It tells not so much of conditions at the front as of the effect of the war on the minds of those who stay at home. Among these latter Is Mr. Brittllng, an Eng lishman of the best type. The beginning of the story finds England's thoughts far away from the possibility of conflict. Suddenly she finds herself precipitated into the greatest war in history, and England awakes and stretches herself. In Mr. Brittllng It personified the English people, who after a while come to realize the personal Interest that each has In the war. Brlttling's sorrow is all England's sorrow, and his first thought is blind rage against the per petrators of war. It is an Intensely and dramatically Interesting book, well written and well conceived. The characters are quite fascinating and very much alive. "rnlversnl Military Education and Servlee," by Luclen Howe, Fellow of tho Royal Society of Medicine, mem ber of the Royal College of Surgeons, and Professor Emeritus of Ophthalmo logy. (G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York). A research \york on the "Swiss Sys tem For tho United States," written as a teacher writes, catalogued so that no question relating to military training remains unanswered. The improve ment perceived In young men through systematic military training appeals to Dr. Howe from the scientific and medi cal standpoint, and the phenomenal success that attended the Inauguration of military training in the schools of Wyoming is cited and explained as an example. The apathy of the present Democratic Congress in failing to note effectively the trend of public opinion on matters of preparedness Is specifi cally mentioned. The statistical data Is Invaluable. Dr. Howe's book Is a peer in the preparedness literature of the day. "To the Minute," by Anna ICatherlne Green. (G. P. Putnam's Sons). Anna Katherine Green's latest book contains two stories. "To the Minute" and "Scarlet and Black." Both are equally thrilling and will serve well to pass away a few idle minutes. The first is tho usual love story with the frdded zest of a mystery, while the second deals with Russian Princesses and dark plots, and has a wholly un expected denouement.
