His book deals with all the most terrible aspects of war, but we read it with great enjoyment.

We see the lite of the simple soldier in all its phasesâ€"in the tremches, behind the lines, in hospital, at home, son leave among civilians. . It is a book rooted in bitterness and disillusion, but rising by the force of its art to great pathos and beauty. ® $s1 [ * oarboat x Beige crepe satin using the shiny surface with blending soft brown shade of sheer velvet contrasting is captivating. _ § * 3 This is a great saving, and it is easily possible to make it in a sinâ€" gle morning to wear the same day to afternoon bridge. _ _ _ bust.

He nodded to the barber and to |the richly dressed Brazilian planter he was shaving, then sat down to await {his turn. The face of the barber inâ€" atantly attracted him, and with noâ€" thing else to do but smoke one of his dainty cigarets, he began to study it. The hair sweeping down over the high forehead was black, but the xshy eyebrows were in striking cofftrast blond; a thin fineâ€"mouth showed below a long hooked nose and heavy cheekâ€" bones; brilliant blue eyes flashed from "This city is a gallery of . . er . .. rogues," he murmured to himself. "I doubt whether I should . . . er . . . . entrust myself to that barber. I . . er . ... donurbt. it." â€" It was undoubtedly an odd face, a face such as one sees only in the meet. ing places of the world where racial mixtures are common. Such a face as might be found in the obscure cafes of New York‘s Mott Street or Mulâ€" berry Bend, orvof Paris‘ Montmartre or La Villette. To exaggerate slightâ€" ly, for it is sometimes only by exagâ€" geration that an accurate picture can be given, it was such a visage as might have resulted if a seulptor had begun to mold the head of one of the swarthy roundâ€"skulled Oriental races, but in the midst of his task had changed his design .and completed it with a long angitlar head of an Angloâ€"Saxon. _ ‘ . . . nothing.

"Everything is . ..er . . queet down here," he murmured to himself, "Nothing normal since 1 landed at Rio Nunnally chuckled amusedly and watched her drive round one‘of the great royal palm trees which grew everywhere alomg the road. Then his glance drifted to the window of the house opposite, where a tall individual of a decided Italian cast of countenâ€" ance with a patch of redâ€"grafted skin on his left cheek and an ugly protrudâ€" ing Adam‘s apple, stood pointing furâ€" tively in the direction of the girl and making some queer signals with his fingers. The old man, who could make nothing of these signs, at first thought they were intended for himself, Not satisfied, he looked about and saw that they were being directed toward an individual in‘ the second story of a shabby dwelling adjoining the hotel. This man, like the other, was decidedâ€" ly Italian, with a ragged stump inâ€" stead of an arm and a nfouth in which four of the upper teeth had been broâ€" ken off as though he had been struck‘ ba a belaying pin or a crowbar. As Nunnally saw the second man,. the signaling abruptly ceased. Then the doors of both hâ€"uses opened quietly, the ywo men stepped out and, taking opposite sides of the road, began skulkâ€" ing through the bush in the direction of the carriage. Nunnally‘s first impulse was to hasâ€" ten and tell the hotel people of the seene he had just witnessed. Then he realized that he was in a strange counâ€" try, that he knew nothing whatsoever of the meaning of what he had seen, that he would probably be interfering ir some perfectly innocent matter of two of the natives, and that he would undoubtediy‘ make himself ridiculous. She was a very beautiful person, Nunnally thought, as he watched her graceful movements. Her hair was black and ltvr?od »shiningly around her del‘rnte ears; her skin was tinged with oflive; her black eyes possessed that soft lustre peculiar to women of the tropics; he might easily have misâ€" taken her for a lovely high caste Braâ€" zilian had not her informality of dress and the fact chat she herself held the reins of the roan horft and drove in most vigorous fashion instantly beâ€" trayed her as American. She saw the old man, to his surprise turned and blew him a kiss, then rode on down the highway. # by bCH Lt CHAPTER L=â€"(Cont‘d.) He had been watching the motley passersby who made up the town‘s population for perhaps half an hour, when a young.woman drove by in a sort of chaise. Beside her sat a negress holding in her arms a fineâ€"featured, darkâ€"skinned> child of perhaps two years, which, judging by the young woman‘s affectionate glances, might be her son or daughter, though she seemâ€" ed extremely young to be a mother.

One trouble with usipg the volcanic steam in the ordinary kinds of engines, turâ€" bineg, or other machinery, Dr. Jaggar states, is that the steam usually conâ€" tains corrosive acid gases which it has taker up from the highly heated rocks. In the propoged plan for heatâ€" ing the Hawalian hotel, this dificulty will be.avoided by using the natural steam merely to heat the circulating water of a hotâ€"water heating plant, just as a fire in a frunace is used in ordinary plants â€" of this type. ~The combined volcanic fireâ€"box and bollc‘ will be made of nonâ€"corrosive metal, so that the acid steam can do the heating and still not harm the heatâ€" ing plant." f "In a new hotel, near the Kilauea volcanic crater, a plan is under conâ€" sideration, it is disclosed by Dr. T.

"I said, my dear Nanny, that I was wondering when you would come," the barber repeated in smooth, cultured accents, "And I added that you were always bad at remembering faces. Even such an unusual one as mine. When you‘ve recovered I suggest that we shake hands." At length the planter departed. Nunnally took the vacant chair. He noticed the barber glance singularly at him, but thought nothing of it and stretched out in his chair, closing his eyes as one resigning himself to necesâ€" sary torture.
