"Thp IbpreuUne Frame."
By Elizabcth Boblns. Moffat, Yard
& Co., of New York. $1.50.
As the author of "The Magnetic
North" and "The Convert." Miss Roh*
ins has gained the reputation of belng
a xemarkably strong and vlgorous
; writer, one wlth declded oplnlons and
i mucli freedotn of expression, a writer
j rather glven to tho portrayal of real
[ llfe, than to the Hcntimentai anj so
| clal phasc of BOclety, foreign or Amer
I Ican.
"The Florentlne Frame" ln no way
resembles the general trend of wrlt
Ing from the pen of one of tho most
glftod novelists of her day. It has a
New York sctting and two New York
women. a molhcr and daughter, as its
prlncipal characters. The namo of tho
book hinges on the fact that the elder
of tho women has an old Ivory Flor?
entlne frame that for yeara has hung
abovo her desk. empty. When It at
last encloses a plcturc, lt ls one of a
Knight of Malta, whose book photo
type is a young South Carollnlan, be
loved of both women and the hus?
band of one.
Tho elder woman of the story is by
name Isabella Roscoe, a widow, bcau
tlful, wealthy and cultured to a vcry
unusual degnco. Marrled at tho age of
seventeon to a man much older than
herself. she is stlll young and full or
the Impulses and sympathlea of youth,
when the book opens, and her daugh?
ter, Eugenla, commonly called Genle.
ls just slxteen yeara old.
Chanco and an old frlend named
Fanshawe, a professor of belles let
tres ln a New York college, brlngs to
the acqualntance of Mrs. Roscoe and
lnto tho lntlmacies of her houschold
a young Southerner named Kelth. a
man lif whom Fanshawe has discerned
the maklng of a great dramatist. He
has pressed forward in hls work to
ward his ideal, but has stumbled and
fallen on hls face. When he comea to
tho Roseoo home, hc.ls drlfting. and
acknowledges himself not far from
Bhlpwreck. Mrs. Roscoe rcads hls play
wlth hini, discusses Its merits and
criticlzes Its weakness, and is ln evory
way a bencllcent factor in its auccess
ful productlon.
A belated romantlclst and almost
feudal ln hls tratts of temper and dls
pasitlon, Kolth's ilerco reservo disap
pears under the fosterlng influonces
whlch render Mrs. Roscoo's home so
delighttul. As might be expected,
howevcr, compllcatlons ensue. He
falls ln lovo wlth Mrs. Roscoe, and
she, though she ls his senlor in years,
might have respondod to hls affectlon,
but sho finds out that Gonlo, her
daughter, has glven her young hcart
to the talented young Southerner and,
mothorlike, she sacrlflces her own
hopes of happlness to Insure that of
her chlld. Genle and Kelth are raar
rled, and then the tragedy of the
story, contlnued to Its end, beglns.
Thero 4s nothing strlking or origl
nal ln the plot or constructlon of the
book whlch cannot bo ranked ln any
eense with such productlons as "Tho
Open Questlon" or "Tho Convert." But
thero are flno touchos in the char
ncterlzatlon of soveral of the book
personagos, among whom are tho Ma
thera, husband and wlfe, and the
Budds, ludlcrously held up aa an ox
ample of tho folly of an oldorly wo?
man wlth a vcry young huaband.
Much of tho humor of the novol cen
tres around Minna Budd, wlth her
whlmalcol adhoronc.e to fashlonablo
follles aud her dovotlon to tho arta ot
the tollet.
In tho tono ot the book Ues Its chlef
merlt. It ls absohttely fro0 from the
stlghtost tlngo of coarsoness, abBOluto
ly pttre ln Its thought and emotlonal
Ism. That so clover a coniposer of
flctlon cannot fail In maklng that wlth
whlch sho ls nasociatod lntereatlng,

"She wlll do hlm good and not ovll.'
thc Rev. S. C. Hatcher, D. D..
pastor of Broad Streot Methodlst
Church. preached to a large congre
gatlon last night on the klnd of a
woman a man ought to marry.
"In maklng your home." he said.
"your cholce of a companion should
come flrst. And lf you ever flnd a
woman llkc tho one descrlbed hy Solo
mon, you had better court her and
marry her as soon as you can." He
sald that one should havo heed to phy
sical quallflcations, but that poverty
should not bo consldered a bar,
poor people, if lndustrlous, can be
as happy as thoso who aro rich. He
gave three charactoristics whlch every
man choosins a wlfe should look for
in hls hclpmeet. Tho flrst. ho sald,
waa adaptabillty, that a woman should
be adapted to thc station and incomc
of her husband. Tho Becond was In
dustry.so that she could work with her
husban'd and help hlm in bulldlng and
keeplng hls home. The last charncter
Istlc he descrlbed as rellgion. The man
should ehoose for hls wifo a God
fearlngr woman. ono that would help
hlm ln hls spirltual side.
At tho close of hls scrmon Dr.
Hatcher announced that next Sunday
he would preach on tho klnd ot man
a woman should chooso for her hus-|

Some people are sometimes foolcd by spurious branda
of sun-cured, so called; but no sensible chewer can
always be fooled into trying a thing that an impecunious
dealer may try to pass off upon him as "just as good as
