THE DES MOINES LEADER. SUJfDAY MORNING, MAY 25, 1902. Tjor three long sum infers he had been talking his head off its spindle trying to conrmcd others that 3 3J inch collar is cooler than a lay down. On one of those 103 degree days he took himself into his room, locked the door, thought over what principles he knew concerning heat and cold, and then began some scientific experiments with an unabridged Fahrenheit thermometer and the hired man's turnover cellnloid. The result of this research was of course in favor of lower linen.

Millers To commend to readers Vernon Haddon Hall," "Dorothy it -would doubtless suffice to say it is by tie au- hor of "When Knighthood Was in Flower," the most favored of present day historical romances; perhaps, because it was the first. Absolutely to the success of 5Ir. Major's new book, it could be further said that the new is as like the old as two--well, as historical romances.

Instead of Henry time, the time ot the new story is that of Henry's daughter, "good Queen Bess;" instead of Mary Tudor, there is Dorothy Ternon, girl with a crown of red hair, and the will and temper that are generally supposed to go with it; instead of Ed- wajrd Caslsoden, one Malcolm Vernon, cousin of the heroine, tells the story. The plot of the story should lead Mr. Samuel Gross of Chicago to sue Mr. Major for for it is the same ior which he has obtained judgment against Rostand: A lather wishes his daughter to marry one man, while she persists in loving another. Sir John Manners is the happy man.

Surely, never hefow was man wooed in such fashion, nor yet in such fashion won. For Dorothy Vernon of HaxWpn Hall does the wooing. She is that kind of a girl. She clothes herself in male attire to keep tryst with her lover: The girl caught Ms arm to detain elm. "Say it now, John; say it now.

God help me! 1 will speak!" said John, as -he caught t-fte girl -to his breast in a fierce embrace. "I love you! I love you! God -Himself only knows how deeply, how passionately.

About that time, at a reception given by the Authors' club to Kudyard Kipling, Mr.

Stockton was introduced and presently remarked that he had often thought of visiting India. "Do 3 so, -my dear fei- low," said Kipling. "Only it's fair to tell you beforehand what shall do when you arrive.

He used to tell how on one occasion, when he was on his way to Newport, he rushed down to the Fall River -boat and caught it just as the gangplank was being hauled in.

Some sences follow this meeting which seem to prove that in writing: his story Mr. Major already had its dramatization; in mind.

Dorothy is detected by her father. He threatens to horsewhip her if she does not tell the name of her lover. 'Whereupon the girl, in the presence of her astonished cousin, tears off her bodice and dares her father to make good his threat. It easily be imagined what a magnificent disrobing scene this would make. It is understood Several actresses have already requested the rlg-'nte.

Another almost equally Interesting scene is where Dorothy saves her lover from detection he has entered Haddon Hall in disguise ae a servant by plumping herself down in his lap and covering him with her ample dress folds.

"Lords of the North," by A. C. Laut, one of the very successful novels of a year ago, has been followed by a new historical romance by the talented young author. "Heralds of Empire" is the title of the new work, and the early trade in beaver skins with the Indians the Hudson Bay region is the subject of the book. The hero is Pierre Radisson, a character that actually did live in the early days of the Hudson Bay company, and who, it will be remembered, figured in one of Gilbert Parker's "The Trail of the Sworci," as a viilian of the inkiest dye, Mi'3S Laut rather makes him out as more hero than villain.

Mr. Stockton hunted up the purser and asked him whether some place could not be provided other than the ordinary bunks in the lower cabin. "Well," said the purser, "there Is an officer's 1 stateroom, but I don't think It would be rig-ht for me to let you have it." Mr Stockton tried ip persuade him the purser his Card, and hinted at a liberal tip. An inscrutable look camp into the purser's. face, and then he said: "WeH, I haven't any business to give it to you, but I will if you'll me know which came out--the Lady or the Tiger." It is several years since Eiriile Zola first knocked at the door of the French Academy; it is a gxiod many more since the indispensable word chic claimed entry to the academy dictionary, says a writer in Harper's Weekly.

Chic, however, has had more luck than Zola for it has recently got in, while Zola is still out. This curious, jack-of-all trades little word, dear to the French heart as the juice- of the grape, ha been in. use in France for nearly tw and a half centuries, and has, indeed managed to insinuate itself into almos every modern language. Its triumph ant acquirement of dictionary honor after two and a half centuries non descript existence is surely a striking example of the survival of the fit in th world of words. Chic, like the Frank fort sausage, saems to have come ou of Germany.

The French soldier brought It to their country when the- returned from the thirty years' war In its German form, Schick, it has th same meaning as it has in France to day. It was doubtless a patois abbre viation of ge.ihick, which means ski or address, and also, in a less respecta ble occupation, appearance, get-up, as we should say. Schiller uses the word schick in the first piece the "Wallenstein" trilogy. Two cavaliers boast of their pranks and prowess to a Wach- meister. and flatter themselves that posterity will talk of them for centuries.

Hardwicke--Elder Hardwlcke-- is the minister's principal as it develops, his un- comtfromistjjg opponent. But Hardwicke has a daughter, who does not take after her father in his feelings towards the young minister, and this makes the situation interesting. Mr. Rood has expressed'his surprise at ths outburst of feeling over his story. In a note to the publishers, he eays: "I thought was a novel--it never occurred to me that I was exploding a charge of dynamite."

a "Uncle Sam, Trustee," by John Kendrick Bangs, is not a piece of fooling. To the contrary, it is advertised as the first serious book of this popular author. Mr. Bangs recently made a trip to Cuba -as correspondent for Harper's Weekly. It is the result of his observations that he now embodies in this Brothers, New York.

Now that Cuba is indeed Cuba libre, a book of this sort, reviewing the events which have led up to the great event oT th; past week, is especially timely. Mr. Bangs, in an introductory chapter, says: "Believing that the incidents of the past four so far as they have to do with the relations of the United States to Cuba, foriti a page in history, which reflects high honor upon the American people, and In somo quarters a disposition to exalt one branch of tlie service at the expense of the other, it SP'itTH'd proper to me to present in i form some of the results of iny observations (if the efforts of the rnitod States army in Cuba, in no wise ultemptir.K to minimize the value of the acJiisvements of the navy," Mr.

The illustrations with which the book abounds, tell better than words of the sanitary improvement, showing various streets and buildings in the island before and after the- occupation. "If I were Mr. Andrew Carnegie at this moment," says Mr. Bangs, "I would scale down my library gifts about 10 per cent, charter a ship and after placing aboard of her a selected number of students with minds like clean slates, enforced by a good digestion reinforced by 0.11 ability to see- straight, and having a proper degree of patriotism, send them off to Cuba to see things as they are.

The dullest clod among them would come back with impressions, the proper presentation of which to the American public would inspire in tiis littter pride so great that It could hardly be udeciuate- ly described." The book Is profusely illustrated, and is published by a new house of New York, the Eiggs Publishing company, in un especially attractive style. (Riggs Publishing company, New York. $1.75.) The first meeting of tlie hero with "Her Serena Highness," the subject of Mr. David Graham Phillips' new book, has the interest of novelty. It is In Paris.

Aw he was looking around absorbed in thfi unusual scene, suddenly: One the fitting-salons was open, and half in the doorway, half in I hull, stood a younif woman.

The grand duke has the Velasquez thus the American and Her Serene HlghneFS are brought together. To aild the chtirm of the up-to-date to his romance, Mr. Phillips has his lovers make their os- cape In a racing automobile. The story IK delicious fooling, and the author baa caught quite the Zenda manner. The beginning of Grafton's experience In Zweltenbourg is worth quoting.

He was walking in the woods outside the. castle when the time came for the duke to take his dally drive. This Is a happened: First to pass him at a mad gallop were soldiers on tall black chdrsen. They thc-lr horses were trapped in the blue white: of tho household guards. Corselets and plumed helmets and chains clashed and rattled and flashed as they i past.

A few yards behind them, at i thi- same furious pace, carno a graceful, Ions-bodied carriage of strange coloring and design, drawn by eight black horses with postilions. On a curious footboard at the bnck of the carriage flood two footmen in mediaeval livery. They were hanging on by straps. Be- Hnd the carriage came six more black- horsed cavalrymen of tho household As Grafton stuped through the dust In tho wake of the ancient spectacle, It halted before the Castle's gatos so abruptly that every horse reared to his haimches But immediately all was quiet, motionless One of tho cavalrymen put a trumpet to his lips nnd sent a blast echoing and re echoing a pcnl a fairy laughter to and fro over tho lake.
