| 20 PAGES YEAR 84.NO. 227 abi ARERR OAT OIE Books And Their a] ST A RETROSPECT By Very Rev. V.C 03 Pages. | A complimentary copy of this in-| teresting book has been received by| the British Whig from its esteemed | author, the pastor of 8i., Columban's| 'church, Cornwall, Ont. The volume | deals with the inception and history / of the first Catholic diocese of Up-| per Canada and the evolution of the Catholic separate school system It] was a pleasant surprise to the pros- ent reviewer to discover that the| opening article, containing an ac-| count of the emigration from the| Scottish Hignlands to North America| and the establishment of the C atholic| diocese of Upper Cduada, was in the| form of a quotation from a British] Whig pamphlet published in 1839.) In it are preserved many facts of] historic value. There follow several] letters from Bishop Macdonell, dated] at Kingston as far back as 1836 and] 1838, testifying to the valor of the| Highland settlers and the splendid, services they rendered to the Em- pire in its days of peril. A chapter| of keen interest to Kingstonians is| that devoted to a report of a din ner given in Kingston, on May 29th, 1839, by the Celtic Society in honor | of the venerable prelate previous to| his departure for the United King- dom. Amoig the contributors to the evening's programme was Dr. Bar- ker, the founder of the Whig. "He was called upon for a song," we read, "and gave in most admirable style 'When Vulcan Forged the Bolts | of Jove," which drew forth vehement applause.' While at Dumfries, Scotland, Bis- hop Macdonell passed peacefully away. Twenty-one years later, in 1861, Bishop Horan, of Kingston, had the remains brought to Kings- ton and deposited in the cathedral. A very laudatory and touching obit- uary notice, copied from the British Whig, "is published in connection with this event. The lamented bis- hop laid the foundation in Upper Canada for Catholic Separate school, and his labors in this behalf are elab- orated in detail. In all his letters and addresses he manifests a kindly spirit and a broad toleration, paying ever and anon a generous tribute of esteem to all classes and creeds. It is fitting that the memory of so noble 4 man and so excellent an ecclesiastic should be perpetuated in this vol- ume. The book closes with a letter from the author to Most Rev, M. J. George Corbet, The Man on Watch No need to send away for Kquor | when invalid wine is in our midst. | w---- | For the benefit of those who do | not know what they are missing. the | Lampman might remark that there] is 84.2 per cent of alechol in this | invalid wine which we hear so much | about.

The Musson Book Co., Toronto, Publishers, An Enoch Arden story of the pres-| ent war--an' Enoch Arden brought down to date--has been given us by| this popular author But it isn't every Enoch Arden who will look through a window and go away in silence. Sometimes he comes back] from the dim and distant past, and, well, makes things lively for all con-| cerned Occasionally he asserts his| individuality and his rights, and so| introduces an element of tragedy into | the lives of those to him. Such is the| character Mrs. Lowndes has present-| ed us in her new book. Tie idea be- | Jind the story is not nw the | original treatmen fit is unusual and gkilful. There is a sub- stance to "Lilla" that comes from the | Jact that the authoress possesses un-| 'doubted literary ability and handles her material with such skill that the, incidents in her plot, which are| startling and perhaps a little melo-| dramatic, do not destroy a certain| sense of reality in the story. Lilla | has a rich if unobstrusive person- ality, a strong and wholesome char- acter. In the midst of her war work comes the magic touch at the door of her heart that changes all the world for her. But dark tragedy follows fast behind. The story moves rapidly, Yrougy tense and gripping climaxes to its inevitable conclusion. | The incidents of the story are un-| folded by a woman who understands the craftsmanship of novel writing, Not a happy ending, but a note of spiritual triumph, is struck by the author. The characters in this book are well realized, and the story moves with grace and ease to its conclusion, yet the reader realizes that the artistic ending is not quite satisfactory, albeit it ends in rosy light, THE YALE REVIEW.

Ottawa, Sept, 29. ~The movement of settlers from the United States to the Canadian West continues to be of considerable volume, according to the statement of officials of the Do- minion immigration department, The entry of the United States in- fo the war and the adoption of the selective draft system has hot affect- ed emigration to the Western provin- ces. This, it is explained, is due to the fact that the large majority of those who seek homes in Canada are well-to-do fatmers above the military age with children young to be affected by the co! law. Since the United States came into the war there has been an increased rather than a decreased movement in the direction of Canada. Would Expel La Follette.

The fourth year of war bids fair to be the first of pecoustruction. Therefore, the Yale Review responds to the desires of thoughtful readers for guidance, with a group of remarkable contri- | butions to a better understanding of the times. In an article as persua- sive as jt ig readable, Simeon Strun- {sky proves that the war has passed beyond "the captains and the kings." | It is the results of a war of * 'holding out" 'that he describes.

Among other notable articles are "The red Business Man," by Robert Grant; "On Buying Old Books," by Brooks; "Birth Control," by A. 6. Keller; "Virgil and the New Patriotism, "by Anne C. E. Allison; British Novelists, Ltd., Book Re- views, etc is The Manteau Comes Back. "If there is one mode more strik- ing than another for the coming win- ter," says Madame Paquin in an ex- clusive article cabled: from Paris especially for the October issue of Harper's Bazar, "it is the use of the dress with the manteau--the long, separate coat of many purposes, which by fts very simplicity carries with it a certain sober distinction significant of the pretty French phrase, le Manteau Royal. With rare exceptions this manteau has replaced the tailored suit. The great cou- turiers of Paris in this have thought alike, and have made charming not only the manteau itself, but the frocks to be worn under it." In these days of high prices, and when clothes especially are so expen- sive, it is well to be sure that the clothes you buy are in the very la- est fashion. - We have noticed in our office copy of Harper's Bazar that Miss E, M. A. Steinmetz, the well- known American fashion artist, and Soalie and Epte, the famous Parisian aésighers, are co.iributing their ex- clusive creations to this magazine.
