Not that the members of the Van lowo family went particularly amiable nr disposed to be nice to one another. On the contrary, It was their habit to be at odds. They felt antipa- thies nmnnc themselves. They were watchful, cautious, not affectionate. "Dorlne, please, would you mind leaving the paperweight alone?" Dorlne was of n nervous habit. She had been fiddling with the p.ipcrwelsht. It Is not indi- cated that Mu was obstinate or per- verse.

And at their meals they would exchange a glance of Intel- ligence, us , though relishing some voluptuous moment of mutual gratifica- tion because everything was good. Koftly smacking their lips they drank a good glass of good red wine. Ami then ut dessert Karel's face beamed tlery red and Cateau blinked her eyeH as though tickled to her marrow. Then they went Into the sitting room nnd sat down nt the round table with their hands folded in their laps to d.gest in mlence. Karel, for appearance's ale, would undo the parcel from the circulating library. Now and again they looked at each other. reflecting coniiilifcentlv that Anna had i cooked that dinner beautifully.

On the contrary, It was theirhabit to be at odds. They felt antipa-thies nmnnc themselves. They werewatchful, cautious, not affectionate."Dorlne, please, would you mind leavingthe paperweight alone?" Dorlne was ofn nervous habit. She had been fiddlingwith the p.ipcrwelsht. It Is not indi-

crying out their secrets so that a. I
may overhear them.A lively young girl nianages to havopretty good time with her young
negro attendants on a Virginia nlant.iHon in Mary T. Waggaman's "TheSecret of Pocomoke" (The Avo Mar'iPress, Notre Dame. Ind.). She Is trans-ferred to New York, where sho edifiesher lehitlves and meets with crueltieatmeht from a mercenary aunt. Theend ! rather hurried and melodrnmat,

A short nnd pathetic story of thework done, by settlement workers :nthe Kentucky mountains, Lucy I'ur-man- 'n
"Sight for tho Blind" (Macm.l-lans- )
Is printed with a long Introduc-tion by Ida M. Tarbell. Tile object ofthe publication Is to nrou interest intho excellent work that Is being done,bv seine devoted women for the nioun-talneei- s.
Tim twenty-tw- o clones nnd sketchescontained lu "Tales of Two Countues,"by Maxim Corky ( B. W. Huebsch, NewYork), are the result of the Russianwriter'H tiiy in Italy. The Impression'hey leave Is that Italy has softened(Jorky's pessimism. He appreciates thebeauty of Ills sutroumlmgs. Of the;Italian tales h few are of Italians,;tragedies of poor lites with few brutaltouches, others might be of people inany plnce, and these hat e touches of thehldeousness the nuthor affects. Theltusflan stories are bitter but abstractsallies. We Imagine that tho-- p whohave 'lie Corky tnsto will feel thatthis set of stories is weaker than hisearlier ones.
