He fell in love early with Martina, a young girl who had been brought up with his own family, the daughter of his father‘s friend. Their love seemed to be perfect, it seemed to wrap them in a magic cloud which kept them from all pitfalls. Then comes the War. In the early months Eugene is taken prisoner, and sent to Siberia. It is six years before he escapes and sees his home again. Eugene Faber grew up in rather unusual circumstances,. His mother believed in freedom for her children, in teaching them the importance of the individual â€" or rather ‘of themâ€" selves as individuals for they are difâ€" ferent from all others, and are desâ€" tined to be ruler of their fate. S§o promptly as each one grew up he hastered to break his life against something which he had been led to believe he was to rule. With one it was science, with another a woman, with another wealth. Those are the "lost years", and not only are the years alone lost, but something is lost from his life. On his return inevitably great changes have taken place in himself and in Martina, and because they are both complex personalities there, are a thousand readjustments which must be made. The book is a story of those readjustments. It is told with subâ€" tlety and with insight. Although very different from "The World‘s Ilâ€" lusion" in mass, to borrow an artist‘s term, yet it is worthy to be from the Mr. Wells in a Delightful Role "CHRISTINA ALBERTA‘S was there a title that go perfectly exâ€" pressed a book. | It is about Faber, and it is about those "lost years", to express which no phrase can have too deep a ring of sadness. It is the old Wells of "Kipps" and "Mr. Polly" in "Christina Alberta‘s Father," the critics are hastening to tell us. Perhaps they are all rushing out with it to prove that they have read "Kipps" and "Mr. Polly." We will concede them that, But whatâ€" ever pigeon hole this Mr. Wells squirmed out of we hope he won‘t too quickly hasten back. _ It is a Wells of absolutely sparkâ€" ling humor, whose young people are all going about in pairs like "knives and forks," and whose young artist going out to get the beefsteak for dinner comes back with it wrapped in "a mere loinâ€"cloth of newspaper." It is a milder, slightly wistful and slightly igeflectud Mr. Wells, which we cannot help believing is always merel yhidden behind the mask of the world reformer, which now and then persists in sticking its head out to hunt for that impossible thing called happiness. | / Albert Edward Preemby was not a laundryman born, he "married into laundrying." In fact, it is doubtful whether the laundry would even have been a marked success had it not been for the strong will and indefaâ€" tigable enery of Mrs. P. But on that excellent lady‘s death her &lsb&nd sold the laundry, gave away t tweed golf suits which she had insisted on his wearing and with a strangely reâ€" leased feeling such as a long caged bird might have when he unexpectedâ€" ly found the door open, h( hopped out into the wide wide world. ‘Alas, he was little more capable of coping with that world than would be the uncaged bird. He flew a little and chirped a little and then began lookâ€" ing for the biggest worm he knew about which was humanly called "happiness." Mr. Preembly laundryâ€" man, or Sargon King of Kings, as he discovers himself to be, is perfectly authentic, a perfectly ‘delightful creâ€" THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1925 ation.

Perhaps it is only the obscure source of the dark, extremely wealthy individuals, who dance, with abandon on boats and in expensive hotels.

Just Publishe All prophets do not agree with this prediction however. | Prof. John A. Curtin, a Buffalo scientist says. that the summer of 1926 will be ‘hotter than that of the present year.. He bases his prediction on ‘the study of sun spots which he has been observâ€" ing since 1871. . As the spots increase the summers get warmer, he says and as they decrease the summers‘ are milder. wl f . . Prof, Curtin is sure the country will not have a heatless summer beâ€" cause the sun spots are now apâ€" proaching their maximum, which will be reached about June, 1927. That should mean that it will be 1930 beâ€" fore the average temperature becomes lower than it was this summer.

And, in this connection, it might be well to state that what the President wants he generally gets. , : MUSICAL CONTEST _ â€" : IS g%SQUI FEA‘ Ballet, Opera, Symphony, Songs, Hymns Amon(Rantl‘iguuons Already Received A ballet, an opera and a symphony for orchestra, as well as poems, hymns and songs already have been received for consideration in the musiâ€" cal prizé competition of the Sesquiâ€" centennial International Exposition.
