By Isa Carrington Cntiell. Published by Henry Holt ? Co., of New York, tor sale ? ...Chmond by t..e Be.l Book and Stationery Co. Price $1.1.0. Mrs. Cabell's book Is made up, as one Is told, of thirty Reniai satlrea on "Tho New Man" and otner equally new nnd vital subjects. Coming as theso do from the pen of a woman who, for many years was clot-ely identified with what was brightest and liest In the social nnd 11;- crary life of Rlchmund, they possess for many readers an interest from their association with their author. Mrs. Cabell characterizes her observa¬ tions on men, 1 ?? and manners us "Thoughtless Thoughts." If by thought¬ lessness, spontaneity, bright and spark¬ ling wit, a ready comprehension of tiie humorous traits of humanity at larne from different standpoints, then it proo- ably Is the best of interpreters. Mrs. Cabell's advantages from foreign travel and broad cultivation have espe¬ cially fitted her for just such philosophic exprcss'on as that which fills her chan¬ ters. One bas a title which will at onco catch the attention of the feminine read¬ er. It .Is "Should Wome nPropose?" Here In contrasting the limitations of the soxj3 Mrs. Cabell declares that: ? man who cares nothing about a house and very little who keeps it, may go out, and. by holding up his flngei·, get a bevy of beauties that would tnl-'.o the prize at any country far. The wo¬ man, to whom husband and home are the whole world, must sit' and wait, like the little sister in Solomon's song, "for the day in which· she shall bo can¬ ed for." The Ideas which Mrs. Cabell has coin¬ ed in regard to "The New Man" malve the text of the leading chapter In her hook. Perhaps this modernized Indlv d- ual may enjoy ? descriptive paragraph, even though It m;ty bo at his own ex¬ pense. It says: I myself have never seen -.ne New Man" engaged in darning stockings, though I have heard him repeatedly dc- olaro how perfectly ho could execute the task if ho only had time. But the gri- cious sight of him arranging draperies has been vouchsafed me, and I havo seen him sli'ver when discordant colours met Ws eye. And further, I have heard him giving directions about tho length of the bab 's stockings, nnd at his wife's table, in¬ quiring whether the water bad been boil¬ ed. I have seen him polishing old ma¬ hogany and cleaning old brasses, ard looking solemn when called In to dec de whether a bit of embroidery was early Flemish or middle Spain. I As a housewife, oozing Information, "The New Man" Is not as agreeable as is to bo expected. SALLY OF MISSOURI. Written by R. 13. Young. Published by McClure. Phil¬ lips and Company, of New York. For sale In Richmond by the Bell Book and Stationery Company. "Sally of Missouri" is an Idyl of the "West, if Missouri can be. called the ?????, when it might better be classed with the rich and prosperous section known under the comprehensive title of tlio Southwest. The book glows with freshness of Imag¬ ination and vigorous individuality in de¬ scription and in the classification of character types. Into every sentence which flashes from its pages is infused a preath of the boundless freedom, the bieadth of vision, the ardour of State pride, which Is the natural or acquired spirit of the French Mlssourlan. For Mis¬ souri, though the home of the American. Is yet the home of French tradition and song, the survivarO'f tluY.-years when it was a rich part 'of l"no'province of Louis¬ iana; the remoter period when it owned the sway of France and Spain. The author of "Sally of Missouri" has the advantage w dealing with a region hitherto not much exploited In fiction. The environment, however, Is not newer or more picturesque than is the style und treatment of everything that goes into the make-up of a glowing and most attractive romanee. The number of contrasts throughout heighten« the effecUveness of the whole. "Steering." the hero, stands for the East nnd the social tide of New York. "Old Bernique" is an example of the fino civil¬ ization which obtained In French St. J^ouls. "Plney of tho \Voods" Images tho Immortal youth of joy in living. Crltten- ton Madeira, of Canaan, is the over- ebrowd Mlssourlan of affairs, and "Sully," charming, adorable "Sally," with ber dusky-gold radiance of hair, seems the spirit incarnate of tho wide, sweet land which has given her birth. Being such, one takes her for once and all to heart and loves her very truly In her charac¬ ter as a heroine and outside of It as a woman. BARBE OF GRAND DAYOU. By John Gxt-nharn.

THE STRIFE OF THE SEA, By T. .Tonkins Hains. Published by Baker and Taylor Company, ot New York. For sale In Richmond by Hunter and Company. Price, $1.00. "The Strife of the yen" has the whistle of the salt wind-, the briny flavor of tho deep sea and the rush Ol tho Wild waves in the flavor of Its pages. The book comes from a pen freighted with an Intimato nnd personal knowl¬ edge of all that it has set in order for the entertainment and Instruction of others. The Inhabitants of the sea, the Pen- gilin family, the biography of Johnny Shark, tho romance of the White Alba¬ tross-all tire told in a vivid, Interesting way. which makes the strongest possible appeal to the reader. The book is ono of (ho best of Its kind, nnd must prove ? literary success. ' j Another book from the same publisher, through the same Klohmond firm, Is "The'Methodists," by Dr. John Alfred Faulkner, a number In a series called "Tho Story of tho Churches." "Tho Methodists" gives in brief all account of the meaning nnd rise of Methodism and Its organization and development In America. The writer Is a leading his¬ torian of die Methodist Church, being professor of historical theology In Hie Drew Theological Seminary. Ainslee's for November. "The Guardian A'ngel" is the title of tho novelette In Ainslee's for November. It Is written by the Baroness von Hütten, and Is a very Interesting, dramatic story of modern life. "The Hidden Self." by Robert Hiehehs, Is written with all the habitual polish and acutenoss of this author. A delicato little fantasy Is "My Lady of the Candles." by Robert Mac- Alarhey. M0rg3.fi, Robertson contributes an amusing sea story, entitled "The Shark." "Social Ambition" is an nccu- rate, nnd yet not unsympathetic; little essay on tho painful career of the "climb¬ er." Joseph C. Lincoln is in evidence with a very amusing: Capo Cod story, "A Pig* and a Prodigal," and the author of "TlietjGrey Cloak," Harold MacGrath, furnishes an entirely different typo of story In "The Advent of Mr. Shifty Sulli¬ van." "Just Like a Woman," by Anne Yc-aman, is amusing and true. Reginald Wright Kauffmann's .«tory, "Henshawe'a Pseudonym." is clever and interesting, even if a trifle cynical. A pleasant and wholesome love story Is "Prince Charm¬ ing," from the pen of Conbtanco Smod- ley, the author of "An April Princess." An essay to which few women renders will give unqualified assent is "The Wo¬ man In Love,' 'by Frank S. Arnett. "How tho Masterpiece. AVns Made," by Bcatrlco Hanscom, Is quito readable, nnd "A Flash of Youth," by George Hlbbard, is a kind of Now Arabian Nights' tale. Witty and sentimental Is Rafael Sabatlni's "The Ducal Rival." "A question of Ancestry," by Harriet A. Nash, Is a sound and sweet love story of New England life. Francis Provost exhibits ngain his fin¬ ished style and practiced story-tolling gift in "Her Reputation," "Tho .Man That won the Game," by James B. Hargrave, is a foot-ball story, with a good love interest. Ono of the cnaracters is a Frenchman, who Is drawn, not according to tho ordinary fiction formula for a. French nobleman. "Complexion Versus Conscience." by Claire Deak, is an essay on the moral aspect of the use of faco powder and other accessories. "Old Mal- ineau's Secret" Is a translation from tho French, In which thè» phonograph 's made very cleverly to supply the motivo of the story. An amusing and bright story is "Mrs. Marlowe and the Boy," by J. R. Crawford. As usual. Ainslee's book re- views are botli readable and informative. Book Notes. Two of tho quaintest and most charm¬ ing of recent publications are two call¬ ed "Over the Black Coffee" and "Tho L'ttle Tea Book" by Arthur Gray, The way in which the Baker & Taylor havo gotlen out 'the.so little volume.·;, cased in matting and sacking, is very unique. Tho covers show in one in¬ stance a matutinal stand with the steam¬ ing coffee pot, cup and saucer, cieam jug and sugar bowl. In tho other the lire burns redly upon tho hearth where the kettle is hung and where a black and white cat basks contentedly In tho light and warmth. The contents of both books are delight¬ ful. It Is written In relation to the cof¬ fee houses that when Charlotte ñnií Anne Bronto went to London in 18-18, they stayed at the. Chapter in Paternoster How.. Poor Chatterton used to haunt thè placa and wrote to his mother: "1 am quito familiar at the Chapter Coffee House and know all tlio geniuses there," "The. Little Tea Book" says: "Coffee. suggests taverns, cafes, yachts, boar.l- Ing-houses-by-the-river side ami pessim¬ ism. Toa suggests optimism. Coffee Is ? tonic; tea Is a comfort. Coffoo ;s prose; tea is poetry." Another book, which Is almost good in its way, as "Pruo and I" is one call¬ ed "Kings, and Quoena" by Florence, Wilkinson with most appropriate Illus¬ trations by Ethel Franklin Betts. This book lias been Issued bv Meflurc, ph'lllrs & Co., and deals with "The. Hüme of Great Content," in the Kingdom ol the Ideal, of which It is written: "So cunningly within the hills 'tis set In happy youth apart, It seems beyond tho ken of toil and time Lisping the I'ttlo river's intimato rhyme Deep In its lyric heart." Mr, Jock London's new book Is called People of the Abyss. A little moro than a year ago Mr. London went down Into tho Hast Lud of London and lived for a few months among the poorer working people of the slums; and in this book ho tells what ho saw and did, and how tho people In that part of London live.

It lias been computed that 493 railroad cars were required lo transport the sets that have been ordered by subscribers since our contract was made with the publishers. These cars would make a train over four miles long. The volumes, placed end to end, would extend a distance qf 262 miles. The leaves, placed end lo end, would extend 107,568 miles. The pages would make 215,136 miles of reading matter, or more than eight times the distance around the earth! Our Less Than Half Price Offer and easy payment plan, together with our extensive advertising facilities, have caused this enormous demand.

Mr, Cronk was horn on tho 29th day Of April. 3S00, and Is now one hundred and three yours and six months old, but one would not believe that moro Iban a cen¬ tury had rolled past him, to see him sit¬ ting quietly in his homo, talking· to his daughter, singing hymns, and offering an occasional prayer for his own soul and nil mankind. True it Ih that tho old sol¬ dier's mind is growliiR weaker, and he takes llttlo interest y what Is going ón at i ho present day, but ho remembers distinctly and vividly tho stirring scenes nnd times of young manhood. Unllko the average old soldier, however, this moro than a voteran seldom talks of tho past save to his own children, his youngest son now being flfty-threo and the eldest sov- cnty-nlne. "My father has always been sweot-tom- tered and loving," salii tho daughter, Mrs. Crowloy, and now, In his very old days, losa City, Is just off tho Harper press¬ es and bids fair to stir up soma Ameri¬ can argument, it Is an international romanci', tho heroine being a rich AOmer- lcan girl who marries an English noble¬ man. Tho tltlo of tb" story refers to New York, which, with other American tilings, comen in for somo severe but amusing crit'olsm from the author. Tiie American girl, howovor, has evidently WOtl liei' way with Mr. Benson, for his heroine Is wholly delightful, despite nome disadvantages of surroundings.

Tho records of the pension office erroneously state that Hi¬ ram Cronk "served In Captain Edmund Fuller's Company, New York Volunteers, from Octobor Sth to November 16th, 1814," nearly two months less time than ho really served.

brightest and liest In the social nnd 11;-crary life of Rlchmund, they possess formany readers an interest from theirassociation with their author.Mrs. Cabell characterizes her observa¬

directions about tho length of the bab 'sstockings, nnd at his wife's table, in¬quiring whether the water bad been boil¬ed. I have seen him polishing old ma¬

"Sally of Missouri" is an Idyl of the"West, if Missouri can be. called the ?????,when it might better be classed with therich and prosperous section known underthe comprehensive title of tlio Southwest.The book glows with freshness of Imag¬

gilin family, the biography of JohnnyShark, tho romance of the White Alba¬tross-all tire told in a vivid, Interestingway. which makes the strongest possibleappeal to the reader. The book is onoof (ho best of Its kind, nnd must prove? literary success. ' jAnother book from the same publisher,

Ainslee's for November."The Guardian A'ngel" is the title of

tho novelette In Ainslee's for November.It Is written by the Baroness von Hütten,and Is a very Interesting, dramatic storyof modern life. "The Hidden Self." byRobert Hiehehs, Is written with all thehabitual polish and acutenoss of thisauthor. A delicato little fantasy Is "MyLady of the Candles." by Robert Mac-Alarhey. M0rg3.fi, Robertson contributesan amusing sea story, entitled "TheShark." "Social Ambition" is an nccu-rate, nnd yet not unsympathetic; littleessay on tho painful career of the "climb¬er." Joseph C. Lincoln is in evidencewith a very amusing: Capo Cod story,"A Pig* and a Prodigal," and the authorof "TlietjGrey Cloak," Harold MacGrath,furnishes an entirely different typo ofstory In "The Advent of Mr. Shifty Sulli¬van." "Just Like a Woman," by AnneYc-aman, is amusing and true. ReginaldWright Kauffmann's .«tory, "Henshawe'aPseudonym." is clever and interesting,even if a trifle cynical. A pleasant andwholesome love story Is "Prince Charm¬ing," from the pen of Conbtanco Smod-ley, the author of "An April Princess."An essay to which few women renderswill give unqualified assent is "The Wo¬man In Love,' 'by Frank S.

Nash, Is a sound andsweet love story of New England life.Francis Provost exhibits ngain his fin¬ished style and practiced story-tollinggift in "Her Reputation," "Tho .Man Thatwon the Game," by James B. Hargrave,is a foot-ball story, with a good loveinterest. Ono of the cnaracters is a

Frenchman, who Is drawn, not accordingto tho ordinary fiction formula for a.

French nobleman. "Complexion VersusConscience." by Claire Deak, is an essayon the moral aspect of the use of facopowder and other accessories. "Old Mal-ineau's Secret" Is a translation from thoFrench, In which thè» phonograph 's madevery cleverly to supply the motivo of thestory. An amusing and bright story is"Mrs. Marlowe and the Boy," by J. R.Crawford. As usual. Ainslee's book re-views are botli readable and informative.

Book Notes.Two of tho quaintest and most charm¬

ing of recent publications are two call¬ed "Over the Black Coffee" and "ThoL'ttle Tea Book" by Arthur Gray,The way in which the Baker & Taylor

havo gotlen out 'the.so little volume.·;,cased in matting and sacking, is veryunique. Tho covers show in one in¬stance a matutinal stand with the steam¬ing coffee pot, cup and saucer, cieamjug and sugar bowl. In tho other thelire burns redly upon tho hearth wherethe kettle is hung and where a black andwhite cat basks contentedly In tho lightand warmth.The contents of both books are delight¬

ful. It Is written In relation to the cof¬fee houses that when Charlotte ñniíAnne Bronto went to London in 18-18, theystayed at the. Chapter in PaternosterHow.. Poor Chatterton used to hauntthè placa and wrote to his mother:"1 am quito familiar at the Chapter

suggests taverns, cafes, yachts, boar.l-Ing-houses-by-the-river side ami pessim¬ism. Toa suggests optimism. Coffee Is? tonic; tea Is a comfort. Coffoo ;s

in its way, as "Pruo and I" is one call¬ed "Kings, and Quoena" by Florence,Wilkinson with most appropriate Illus¬trations by Ethel Franklin Betts.

sIn order that our readers may more fully comprehend the

enormous demand for the New Twentieth Century Edition of the

Encyclopedia Britannica, the following calculations have beenmade. It lias been computed that 493 railroad cars were requiredlo transport the sets that have been ordered by subscribers sinceour contract was made with the publishers. These cars wouldmake a train over four miles long. The volumes, placed end to

end, would extend a distance qf 262 miles. The leaves, placed endlo end, would extend 107,568 miles. The pages would make 215,136miles of reading matter, or more than eight times the distancearound the earth!

Our Less Than Half Price Offerand easy payment plan, together with our extensive advertisingfacilities, have caused this enormous demand. The fundamentalcause, however, is the great merit of the New Twentieth CenturyEdition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Whether one wishes to

manufacture of books and the increased cost of labor, it has becomenecessary to advance the price of the Encyclopaedia Britannica atan early date to cover the extra expense. We have, however, ar-

langcd that this increase in price shall not go into effect until theedition just off the press has been distributed.
