_ NIBBLES FROM TWEEDALE . From "The Beautiful Mrs. Da venant," by Vioiet Tweedale. Phere are lots of men who will +. Simply do anything for.a woman, . Smeept marry her, Ong is arg to think bachefbrs would make the best husbands, just one often thinks what good bache- married men would make. *"I couldn't bear-to be hen-peck- od," he said. 'Don't you think. it entirely depends upon the hen?" suggested Hilda. Baldie Hall opened huge black] eyes upon her companion. She had born good-looking, but she had achieved good looks. The ideal husband dwells only in the imagination of the woman who mever had one. ; 5 The interesting point a euline women is that it {s impQssible to imagine they ever were y Effeminate men never seem to #1 think there's much less falling fn love now than there was in my young days. Men have grown so selfish," said Mrs. Carlton: Mrs. Davenant shook her head. "Il. simply adore men," she said. . In order to seize ge opportunity of a lifetime, it must bq seized dur- ing the lifetime of the"opportunity. *I dare say I'm silly," said Mrs. Davenant, "but I'd rather be a fool- | ish widow than a wise virgin, any day. I'd like the evening post to bring me a letter beginning, 'Dear- est woman in the world,' " "I never cared much for big wo- men," he sald; "they look too much as if they could take care of them- selves." "Honesty's a wretched virtue. . One never calls a woman honest who has any manners. We reserve the epithet for those of*whom we have nothing good bo say," We all know that a woman can change her character with her hat-- after all, what are most heads?-- merely hat-pegs. What's so clever about Saidie is she quite understands that to look pretty very nearly means that I am pretty. ---- wonder why Mrs. Davenant neéyer re-married?" . "Once bitfen, twice shy," observed Jim, foolishly. . "That proverb never applied to any living saul ten years old," re- torted Saidie, with conviction. "When f§ woman's made a bad shot she always wants to recover her losses." The exact difference between the saint and the #iner is one of temp- erament degree, Temperament used to be the strict preserve of genius, now anyone may have it and belon to quite a decent club. : No one ought to be christened till they-re twenty-one. Names rarely fit their owners. Women called Fay and Daphne have faces like the Marble Arch, and always address you as if you were a public meeting. | I've knowii of Marmadukés and | Jaspars who have faces like gar- goyles, who roar like bulls of Bas- han under Reformer's Tree, and dwell in suburban nests called Zepp | Villa and Gotha Cottage.

Price, $2.25. It may be that certain ' readers with a mental or moral twist will see in this refreshing' book only a timely appeal for the Candidature of Leonard Wood, for president of the United States; it may be that others of equally unbalanced judgment, af- flicted with an Anti-English complex, will find in it occasion for a new dia- tribe against Great Britain. But we think the impartial reader will see in thie book a clear, frank, fair state- ment of similarities and differences between, the two great branches of the English speaking world. It is luminous, dispassionate eminently fairnand enormously enlightening to both members of the family. The writer shows unusual grasp of the destiny--determining epochs of the two nations, and appeals with irres- the great agreements instead of magnifying the petty differences which exist between Great Britaih and 'the United States. It is of more than passing interest to note that much of the hatred of England is due to an apparently intentional dis- tortion of the plain facts of history as set forth in the text books of the schools of the United States. The closing sentence of the book sums up its general attitude: "And beneath (England's) wis dom at the bottom of all is her sense of our kinship through liberty de- fined and assured by law, If we (the United States) were so far-seeing as she is, we also should know that her good will is equally important to us; not alone for material reasons, or for the sake of our safety, but also for those few, deep, ultimate ideals, of law, liberty, life, manhood and wo- manhood, which we share with her, which we got from her, because she is our nearest relation inthis many peopled world." The book {is written in a clear style of excellent literary flavor, by one who knows the facts and believes what he writes. It is a distinct con- tribution to international good will. WINE OF THE WINDS. Published by 8. 336 Pages. By Keene Abbott. B. Gundy, Toronto. Price $1.45 Net. This book i% a fine piece of. good LEpglish literature. The plot, while not obtrusive, has sufficient move- went to keep the reader fully alert; the dilimations of character wrought out with great care in the two very opposite feminine natures, around which much of the story re- volves, is really exquisitely done. There is an exciting bit about Indian raids, some wounds, woman's tender- ness in sickness and a couple of con- venient deaths, which, however, do not spoil the story. The affection and heroism of the first love are finally rewarded as a triumph over the despondency of the man whose second chance in some measure re- deems the criminal blunder of his early practise. The book is a first rate novel. The Woman Hater. By Ruby M. ers. Hodder and Stoughton, eaon. 264 pages. Price 7s. 6d. net." * This book is written by a well- known author who has ajfull score of novels to her credit. is the story of a woman with whom one man was in love long ago and, with whom an- other man is in love in the early chapters, The principle around which the plot revolves, is that no matter who she may be and = what tricks she or fortune may pay him, no man wholly breaks with his first love, the fire mever goes out; only favorable opportunity is required to fan it into flame. There are a couple of suicides in the book and the plot, while well-executed, is neither too intricate nor too conceal- ed. ¢ oN rd the Short "Silver Streak," which has no wood or canvas in its construction, The wing spars are of steel, and so are a few minor parts, otherwise du- ralumin is used entirely, though the actual machine at the show had the planes covered with aluminum. The engine, a "Siddeley Puma," is mounts ed on steel tubes held in position by built-up dulalumin bearers; the construction lends itself to the fit- ting of other types of engine if de- sired. On the Short stand there was shown the patent landing st! which the firm uses. This consists of tloats which rise ang fall with the tide. At the Martinsyde stand, great in- terest was taken in the tiny scarlet machine, the Semi-Quaver, on which Mr. Raynham put up the record of 161.434 miles per hour, and which he is flying in the Aerial Derby round London. The Supermarine stand was of special interest as they were the only flying boats exhibited, and the "Channel" type is one of several brought by the Norweglan 1 m The arrangements for "han- dl e anchor and the patent boat- hook features of this very sea- worthy (and air-worthy) - looking craft. The Blackburn machine with its divided axle for carry \rrying a torpedo plane was a centre of interest though the deep fhiselage gives it an inele- gant appearance. The Fairey also has a very deep fuselage. This ma- chine is for the Air Service, and de- tails of dimensions and performance are not available for publication. It is a striking machine with ad- mirable features, Including he Fain has been ent ey Jutiabla camber, w! grea proved by an arrangem which looks the tail-adjustment with the variable camber adjustment, so that the angle of both is increased or decreased together, and. the . pilot istible force for a new emphasis ox] {did field of fire. The constructional principle of the machine is also of interest, and will be described in re- viewing the machine. The Napier en- gine with which the machine is fit ted has an electrical starter, and the huge propeller, which runs at half the engine speed, revolves when it is switched on. There was quite a varied selection of engines to be seen at the show. There were actually 'no less than fif- teen distinct types of engine shown on the aeroplanes, quite apart from several others that were shown by the engine firms themselves. They ier "Lion," which is becoming in- creasingly appreciated as a high- power. unit, down to the A.B.C. "Gnat." . The Aircraft Disposal Company had the annexe of the building and there could be seen the various types of machine that were in use during the war, all of which the company has now for disposal. Apart from its appealing to prospective purchas- ers, this section had a great interest for its showing the type of machines that brought victory to us in the war. The accessories shown contained many features of interest, among them being the Palmer Tyres, which had some huge tyres to show, the S. Smith & Sons' instruments, the wireless telegraphy and telephony shown by Marconi's, and the _ "One Lever' Automatic Telephone, which always had a lot of inferested specta- tors.

KANGAROOS FOR OSTRICHES Vancouver Tralles Australian Jump- ers to Augment the Zoo. Vancouver, B.C., Aug. 7--Another little advertised, but highly success- ful Vancouver industry, is located in Stanley park in the shape of the kan- garoo colony there. So successful have the parks authories ,been in raising these animals that they are now being used for an exchange me- dium to augment the park zoo. Some time ago two kangaroos were sent to Spokane, and that city reciprocated 'by sending a female ostrich, which is now sitting on _ten eggs. Word has been received that Mrs. son, sent to Toronto from here, ar- rived safely at the Riverside Zoo. It is understood that Toronto intends to return the compliment by sending two Yate pelicans for the Stanley park collection. @ Forest Farmers Haying.
