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.
