It therefore contains much that is personal and which, as has been said, throws a strong light on the status of young girls of the ort quoted 1830 period. (George H. Hills, The Smart Set. For variety and interest the December number of the Smart Set more than sus tains the reputation established by previous issues of this periodical. The particular feature of the number is a novelette by Miriam Michelson entitled "Her Guard of Honor." The leading characters are an ac tress and her son.

The child, whom she worships passionately, constitutes himself her guard of honor, and finds his task difficult. The second story in length is another of the series of bright society tales that Miss Caroline K. Duer is contributing to The Smart Set. It is called "An Unfinished Elopement," and deals with events at Newport. Other features of this number of the maga zine are "The Episode of the Earl," by Louis Evan Shipman, author of "D'Arcy of the "For Love of Lord Patrick," an interesting London story by Mrs.

Poultney Bigelow; 'Crowned with One Crest," a characteristic story by Gertrude Atherton; "Lord and Lady Laddismeere," by Edgar Fawcett, and stories of far countries by Gibson Wll lets, Annetta Halllday Antona, Onoto Wa tanna and others. There are also poems by Bliss Carman, Clinton Scollard, Dora Read Goodale, Henry Tyrrell, Kate Masterson, Joe Lincoln and Frank Roe Batchelder. One of the interesting features of the number is a dialogue entitled 'A Love Test," that gains a certain significance by the fact that it is printed'anonymously. An Unusual Offer to Women. In another column appears the announce ment of an unusual offer of prizes amounting to $17,500, which will be given by the publishers of the Delineator.

This fam ous magazine has been published for twenty seven years by the Butterick Publishing Company. Taking the fact that next year begins a new century, the Delineator offers to dls tribute $17,500 among 1901 women. The plan is so cleverly arranged that a woman living in a small town or village has Just as good a ohance to win' one of these 1901 prizes as a woman living in a city because the prizes are given for the number of subscriptions secured In a town in proportion to tne population of that town. Instead of being given simply to those who send the largest list of subscribers which, of course, are most easi ly obtained in big cities. Current History.

The November number of Current History is not only up to time with its contents, but these happen to be of unusual Interest. The record of the great events of the world for the previous month is complete, and the pict ures portraits are all needed to help the intelligence of the reader. The names of the different personages may be familiar, but these striking photogravures bring U3 face to face with the men and the women of whom we are likely to know more as history grows. The frontispiece is the Earl of Hopetown, first Governor General of the new commonwealth of Australia. (Current History Company, Boston.) Das Maedchen von rreppi is the title of a little novel by Paul Heyse.

The story has its scene in Italy. In midst of the iso lation and austerity of the high peaks of the Appenines, and in the person of a rude daughter of those mountain heights, It paints a striking picture of a woman's love, a love patient, persistent, fierce In passion, heroic in sacrifice, and finally triumphant. The book is published in the Interest of American students of German, and is, therefore, supplied with notes, vocabulary, by Edward S. Joynes. (Published by D.

C. Heath cloth. 3 cents.) "In the Palace of the King" A Curious Character Study by Joseph 'Conrad. The Far East in the "In the Palace of the King; a Love Story of Old Madrid," F. Marion Crawford's new novel, ia likely to increase that writer's reputation for being a skillful workman In the field of romance.

This is not equivalent to saying that the production meets all of the literary tests which should he applied in correctly estimating a novel. Nor does it imply even that the story after having been submitted to such tests will endanger the standing of certain older and better known products of Mr. Crawford's pen; for very probably most of his readers will give it a place lower, in point of general excellence, than perhaps at least two or three of his previous stories. But in certain respects the story displays a. literary adoltness which is entitled to more than merely a passing nod of approval.

Not the least conspicuous of these respects 1b the clever pictorial use the author has made of two historic characters, Philip II, 1 whose palace at Madrid is the scene of the entire story, and Don John of Austria, half brother to the king. The Don John of the story is, of course, a somewhat idealized treatment of the Don John of history, and that is no more than is to be. expected, since he is made the hero. But the picture of King Philin shows most of the moral that Is to sav. immoral features which marked that monarch in history.

It is no table, moreover, that the entire story cov era only four or five hours portions of an afternoon and evening: of the same aay and this, considering the size of the book It is a volume of three, hundred ana sixty odd nairpR heKoeaka a literary feat. The theme of the story is the love affair of Don John and Dolores de Mendoza, daughter of the captain of the guard aWhe palace. The two have been very earnestly in love for a matter of three years, but their marriage is opposed by the father, who fears that his daughter might be disposed of, so far as the marriage relation is concerned, as soon as it should please the king's designs to select for Don John a wife of royal blood. This contingency, the old warrior foresees, would bring disgrace upon both his daughter and himself. The story opens on the afternoon that Don John returns triumphant from his campaign against the Moors.

He is followed from the city to the palace by an enthusiastic throng, but he manages to exchange a glance with Dolores, who is rejoicing ia Els triumph from the window of her apartment. This exchange of glances is detected by the girl's father, and a stormy scene between the two follows, the obstinate old soldier ending it by declaring that he will send the girl to a convent the very next day, and will kill her lover with his own hand3 if he attempts to see ber that night, after which comforting announcement he locks the girl into her room. With the assistance of her blind sister, Inez a very beautiful character, by the way Dolores escapes from her room and chances to meet Dan John in the hall near by. There is a love scene somewhat drawn out, considering the circumstances and Dolores consents to go to her lover's apartments in the castle, there to be concealed by him until the morning, when they are to manage in Gome way to escape and hunt up a prior who will marry there. In the little room, which is to be Dolores' temporary refuge, there is another love scene, which, like the preceding one, is somewhat protracted, in view of the fact that the King is almost momentarily expected there.

The King arrives, manages to get Into a quarrel with Don John and stabs him with his sword. At the same moment Dolorea' father comes into the room and, under the inspiration of his loyarlty to the King declares himself to be the slayer of the Prince. The altercation, the sound of Don John's body as it strikes the floor and her father's declaration are plainly overheard by the terrified girl, who, after the men have left the room, unlocks the door and finds her lover lying lifeless, as ehe supposes, for he has already been pronounced dead by Men doza. The King betakes himself to the ballroom, Which is thronged with grandees and war riors, all eager to greet the Prince, and presently Mendoza appears and announces that he has killed Don John because he had proof that the Prince had wronged; his daughter. And tife the old soldier really did believe, because seen Inez.

clad. in her slster'B clothing, lurking in the; hallway near Don John's door, and had mistaken her for Dolores. It is necessary to call in the guard to protect Mendoza from the Infuriated crowd in the ballroom, and he is taken to the King's Apartment. Here, with only the King's secretary as a witness, he is mads to commit himself completely by the scoundrelly monarch. Dolores, having heard that her father has proclaimed her dishonor in the ballroom goes thither, and for the purpose of defending her parent, and creating sympathy for him, declares to the assemblage that all he has said Is true.

She then goes to the King's Tooms to Intercede for her father, and in a Bhort interview with him as he is being taken away by the guard, learns that it was the King who killed her Armed with this information she faces Philip and by threatening to divulge his crime forces the monarch to give her an unconditional pardon for Mendoza. In the meantime. Inez, who is also in love with Don John, finds her way to his room. Intent only upon taking a last farewell of his lifeless body. But as she weeps over his mo tionles form, he slowly returns to consciousness, and it then develops that the wound made by the king's rapier was little than a scratch, and that he had been made unconscious by striking his head on the marble floor as he fell.

Dolores is summoned and a priest, who is conveniently near, is called in and makes short work of declaring the two man and wife. It is not strange that such a story should have been dramatized. Even this brief review of it probably will suggest to the reader that it contains materials out of which could be made an effective play of a certain kind, aafl we have the word of the press dispatches that Miss Viola Allen is doing extraordinarily well with Lorimer Stoddard's adaptation of the book for stage purposes. The writer does not know just how closely Mr. Stoddard has adhered to the plot as it is worked out by Mr.

Crawford, but it is easy to imagine that the story may have been followed very closely in the play without presenting in nearly so glaring a manner the Imperfections which appear in the book considered as a literary product. Stage accessories ever have been a good disguise for im perfections of this kind; which is only another way of saying that the well planned and carefully wrought out novel is a much finer and more complete product than is the merely eflective and successful play A critical consideration detects many flaws In the narrative. In the first place the sup is somewhat clumsily handled. It is lmprob able, on the face of it, that an old soldier like Mendoza would have mistaken a tem porary unconsciousness produced by a fall for death resulting from a sword wound. And the plan of killing off a hero for a period Just lqng enough to permit" the heroine to make a martyr and, Incidentally, a spectacle of neraclf, will not Impress the thoughtful reaaer as either ingenious or Ingenuous.

men, too, the announcement bv Dolores of her own shame, seems somewhat Quixotic. and that in an atmosphere wherein Quixotism came presently to De pretty thoroughly aD predated. Strict candor might also impel a critic to confess that there appear at times evidences that the story was written with a degree of haste which is likely, to conduce to an aDsence of literary finish. On the other hand, it ought to be said tnai the story has certain permanent values, not me least or which is its historic sienifl cance. As has been said, a vivid and, in the main, faithful picture Is painted of King rnuip, unaer whom, as we know, the inquisition flourished in ail its horrors, and who managed to write himself down one of the most unprincipled, tyrannical and brutal of despots.

Mr. Crawford has shown both the treachery and the brutality of the man in the scene with the brave old soldier and he also gives a convlncinc and urartuc pic ture of life in the Spanish court at the time. ur tne minor characters the best is Inez the blind girl, of whom the author makes a very beautiful personality. It Is apparent that Mr. Crawford must have studied with some care both the faculties and the sens! bilities of persons upon whom this terrible affliction has been visited, for he writes with an evident sympathy and appreciation which cannot but increase pity where pity certainly is due.

(Cloth: 12mo; the Macmillan Company; New York; A Curious Character Study It hardly seems a correct use of terms to call Joseph Conrad's latest book, "Lord Jim a novel, although it is a work of fiction. It is a curious psychological study, and it is doubtful if it will appeal to a very wide cir cle of readers. The story itself, is of suffic. ient interest, yet the author has somehow failed to tell it in the right way. Most of the narrative is a monologue, which a cer tain sea captain is supposed to deliver from the depths of a bamboo chair, on a veranda.

in a certain seaport town, known to ships and seafarers in the Far Bast. Indeed, the story is oi me mast, ana of tne eastern seas. It concerns one man and is a study of that one man's character. One can understand that an author might become enamored of the theme, and starting from small begin nings find the thing growing under his hand unui it reached its present proportions, "Jim" is a young Englishman, who has chosen the sea for a profession, and has a iair prospect Derore him. He is really filled with high ideals, but he seems somehow to lack that quality of persistence, or narrow ness of view, which enables a man to see straight ahead of him and to recognize only tne goal wmcn is the summit of his ambition.

It happens that Jim is mate on a certain steamship, the Patna. bound across the Indian Ocean with a cargo of pilgrims bound ror tne AraDian ports. She is a wretched old vessel, owned by rogues and officered by a scamp, in tne night, while the boat is run ning an even course and the sea and Bky are as serene ana peaceful as it Is possible for tnem to be, the ship runs over some hidden obstruction. Only the white officer on the vessel know what has happened, the nilgrlms are not disturbed. The white men, knowing me crazy quality or tne craft, expect that she win go to tne oottom In a very brief space of time, and all of them, with the ex ception of Jim, are busy with frantic haste to escape from the doomed craft.

There are not half enough boats to hold the pilgrims, even if they could be launched. But skiD per and engineers are not caring whether tne pilgrims are drowned or not; their only aim Is to get a boat over and away before tne living cargo, asleep on aecK and below. can be alarmed. Jim has no question but what every soul on board is doomed. He does not help launch the boat, being in some thing of a daze, waiting to hear the inrush of the water through the rotten bulkhead he has just been inspecting, where the metal dropped away In rusty scales, as he looked.

Just then, a squall comes up suddenly and under its cover the boat is got away, Jim jumping from the bridge at the last moment. There' was1 wherje.he made bis fatal error; had he been true to his ideals and stuck by the ship he would have been all right, for Instead of sinking, the steamer floated all right, and was picked up the next day, a derelict, by a passing gunboat, without the loss of a pilgrim. Jim's whole purpose in life thereafter was to get away from that story. He encounters the captain who tells the tale at the inquiry in Bombay, which results in the loss of his certificate as mate. Later this captain, who befriends him and aids him to various positions, tells Jim's story to the group on the club piazza.

It must have been an exceedingly long evening if he told it at one sitting. Jim finally takes refuge in a remote Malay settlement, where he acquires so much influence that be is known as Lord Jim. He is entirely honest in what he does; he uses his Influence for the benefit of the natives who trust him, but finally he loses his life through a combination of circumstances and because he will not leave the post. The plot is of the slenderest, the attraction of the story lying In the subtle analysis of Jim's character and motives, as expounded by his friend the captain. If once the reader becomes entangled in the meshes of the story he will be likely to follow It to the end, but it may be a question whether he will consider himself as repaid therefor, save as he may be charmed by the artistic skill displayed in the delineation of "Lord Jim's" character.

In the words of Stein, the old German merchant who sent him to the Malay village, he was "too romantic." (Doubleday, McClure cloth, $1.50.) The Far East in 1830. Now that the majority of Americans know somewhat more of the Philippines than the name or that they form a part of the East Indies, a book telling of their condition seventy years ago will interest many. Miss Katharine Hillard has foreseen this and has edited and published her mother's journal, a diary kept by a vivacious, intelligent American girl, who for a period of five years lived in Manila, Macao, Canton and at the Cape of Good Hope. There is nothing strikingly new in this diary, and to those familial1 with books of travel the most interesting part of "My Mother's Journal" may prove to be the picture of social life that it contains.

Hillard, went to the East with an uncle's family.

We have callers every little while to inquire as to what Peruna has done for us. I say: 'Look at us. That is proof "I send you a picture of my residence. I helped build a house in Iowa City on the first of last June, and worked eighty two days, only losing one quarter of a day during the whole time. How is that for an old man 77 years old? I came home in September and have built another house out In the country this fall and am well and hearty to day.

"I hope to live twenty years yet and if Peruna helps me in the future as it has in the past, I don't know why I can't; The druggists say Peruna is one of the best selling medicines they have in stock." C. R. Harden. Peruna can be relied upon to cure slight colds and coughs and other catarrhal ailments with a promptness that is unequaled by any other remedy. If a cold has settled in any portion of the body and produced catarrh, it is generally thought by people that they must suffer on year after year without any hope of cure.

This is not true, however. Peruna cures such cases. Thousands of testimonials that can never be used attest this fact. Any one wishing free literature on this subject should address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.

Her own statement of the case is as follows: "I have suffered for several years with catarrh of the head. It finally reached my ear, and caused a running ear. Having read of Dr. Hartman's remedies, I wrote, and he advised me. To day I am In better health than I have been for some time.

I will gladly recommend Peruna for all catarrhal diseases." There is only one systematic catarrh remedy that is sure to cleanse the whole system of catarrh. That remedy is Pe runa. This is a remedy that needs no eulogizing in addition to what the people say of it. Everywhere the people are praising Peruna as a remedy for all forms of catarrhal difficulties.

1 A Venerable Wisconsin Lady Restored to Health by Peruna After Twenty five Years' Suffering. (Special news from Evansville, Wis.) EVANSVILLE, Nov. 11 A woman cured of catarrh of twenty five yeare' standing was the occasion of Peruna being introduced to the inhabitants of Evansville, Wis. From that time to this there has been a great demand for Peruna In this vicinity and hundreds of cases have been curea. It is in this manner that Peruna spreads from town to town and from state to state.

No sort of advertising could have given Peruna the reputation it has. The secret of its success Is that it makes cures. It cures old cases of catarrh where other remedies have failed. This ought to make any remedy popular. Mr.

C. R. Harden of Evansville, writes the following letter: Dear Doctor Hartman "I wish to write to certify what Peruna has done for me. I read of Peruna in the papers, of what It would do for catarrh, and sent for a bottle. This was the first bottle of Peruna that ever Startling Statements from WILLARD, KY.

The news of the recovery of Mrs. Elizabeth Prater is a very striking instance of the wonderful curative powers of Peruna. This estimable lady had been an invalid from catarrh of the stomach and bowels for twenty years. No wonder her many friends are enthusiastic over her recovery. She writes: "It is through the mercies of God and your medicine that I am permitted to write you this letter.

I have been a constant sufferer from bowel and stomach trouble for about twenty five years, and could rever find relief until I began the use of Peruna. "I began the use of your medicine the first day of last September, and have taken nine bottles of Peruna, and can say that I believe I am cured of my troubles, and I think I am enjoying as good health as an old lady of my age could expect. I am seventy one years old. I recommend Peruna to sufferers wher ever I may meet them, and others or my friends are being benefited by It. I think it is a Godsend to poor, suffering Humanity.

W. Ward, at the Cottage Gardens on Hillside avenue, Queens, last night and stole two overcoats valuprt at $50. The thieves were evidently disturbed in meir worK, as notnmg else was taken. In a recent issue of a New York morning paper, in an article on "Babists," a new Oriental sect, the statement was made that Miss Lilian Whiting, the author of "Th World Beautiful," is a believer in "Babism." and one of the latest to return from Syria. As the publishers of Miss Whiting's books, Messrs.

Little, Brown Co. desire to state that this assertion is absolutely unfounded. Miss Whiting had never even heard the name of "Babism" until her return from Paris, and she has never been to Egypt or Syria, but divided last winter between Rome and Florence. She was born and bred in the Episcopal communion, to whose faith she is unfalteringly allied. D.
