Hoursj_ Every fternooiTTFom 2 to-?, except Satur- day. Yesterdays in a busy life, Candace Wheeler. Mrs Wheeler, at the request of imanv of her friends, has written the ton of her life. Born in 1827, the ird of a family of eight children, sturdy Puritan ancestry, in the settlement of Delhij-Nr Y.,-her child- lood was spent in far different sur- oundings from .any that her readers 11 remember. The family life a center of very lively creative nterest, and all sorts of manufac- tures were accomplished therein* heese. candle making for the fam- ily^ smoking and curing of meats; storage of apples, potatoes and other vegetables were only a small part of the work done in the Wheeler house- hold. Marrying Thomas Wheeler, of N. V.. when she was seventeen, Candace seemed to step over a cen- tury, leaving behind the habits and thoughts of early Puritan life and to come into a new life of advanced thought and intellectual freedom. Having entree to the circle of wri was which Bryant and Lowell were mem- bers, Mrs. Wheeler knew the most cultivated men and women of^ her time, and she gives illuminating side-lights on their characters. Later she founded the Society of Decorative Arts, which was to en- courage profitable industries to wo- men-who possess artistic talent "and to furnish a standard of excellence and a market for their work." Mrs. Wheeler was director of the Wom- an's Building-at-the^ Chicago Expo- sition, and the author of several charming books, of which Content in a garden, Decorators and Decora- ting, How to make Rugs, and The Dream Spinner, are among the best known. Interesting as the book is to many its chief charm will be the beautiful spirit which prevades it, and the author's fresh and enthu- siastic outlook on life, which might be that of a girl of nineteen, instead of a woman of ninety.______' Queen Victoria, Lytton Strachey. Mr. Strachey'* book is a portrait of Queen Victoria, as she appeared to her subjects and to those who knew her personally. With char- acteristic honor he pictures -Lord- Melbourne, Disraeli, and Gladstone, those public figures who at various times were the powers behind " the throne. As a girl, having just as- cended the throne, Victoria greatly admires Lord Melbourne. After her marriage, Prince Albert exerts great influence and later, after the death of the Prince, Disraeli, with his cunning shrewdness sways her decisions. All these influences are of hot kitchens this weather.
