A FIRST NOVEL

THE CHINA MAIL,

LADY OXFORD'S HUNTING FIELD ROMANCE.

ART OF LOVE-MAKING,

A notable first novel by Lady Oxford, written when she is more than 60 years of age, is published to-uny by Cassells (7à. Od.). It is called "Octavia," from the name of the heroine, and the scene for the most part is laid in a hunting contro in the English Midlands.

The hunting scenes are memor- |able-vivid, · stirring, and enthus- Jastic. The book is full of wit and of brilliant description, and the dialogue is closely packed with thought and argument.

Thero are a large number of characters, sharply drawn and dis- tinguished, though most of them speak the same language.

Octavia, when the story opens, is a girl of 17-emotional, romantic, immensely interested in life, books, people and herself. Her sheltered home is in the Scottish Border country, but through Robin Comp- ton, just twice her age and in love with her in his indolent way, she receives an invitation to the Bra-

bazons at Harbington, and the pro- mlas of all the hunting, she can wish for.

Construction of the R-109, the largest lighter than air craft ever designed, is rapidly nearing completion in England, and its first trip to this country, under the direction of Commander C. D. Burney, will be made soori The shell is finished and work is under way on the Interior and the Installation of the gas bags and motors. Soon the outer covering will

be put in place. The ship will carry 100 passengers and a crew of 40. It will be 709 feet long and 133 feet wide. The Rolls Roves motors of 700. H. P. each, will furnish a speed of 80 mites an hour. The cruising radius will be between 4,000 and 5000 miles. The bar be Indated with hydrogen or hellum. Cooking, heating and ghing will be done by electricite. Passengers will be carried across the Atlantic in 48 hours The R-100 cost $2.250,000 to build. Photo shows the gas bag being placed in the end of the great air liner.

Some days later when she takes a fall and fs laid up, she experiences her first dissatisfaction with the little world which she has entered. A single passion absorbs it;
