A Woman in China. By MABY GAUNT With 129 Illustrations. London: T. Worner Laurio, ltd.

Mrs. Gaunt is an adventurous Australian lady who is gifted with a very charming narrative style. Her description of her travels in West Africa was most readable, but in the volume now, before us, we are pleaped to remarl; a distinct improvement upon her earlier book, and can only regret that hor visit was not extended to Central and Southern China. As a matter of fact that visit was confined to Peking, with expeditions, unaccompanied by Europeans, for the greater part, to the Ming Tombs and Johol.

Honesos. Londer:: Eveleigh Nash. - There is something weird and uncanny in this collection of tales of the sea. They are the sort of stories that one used to hear in the fo'c'sle from old salts who had sailed, the seven seas in wind-jammers. Just how much is pure imagination and how much is due to these selfsame salts, it is not always easy to say hut some of them, like "The Sea Horses," are undoubtedly the children of the author's own brain. Through the Vorter of a Cyclone is a remarkably powerful bit of writing; and most of the tales could have heen written only by one who has a close acquaintance of the son in all its varied moods. It might be regretted that so much is written in the minor keys but, after all, no phase of life was probably harder or more likely to stimulate gloomy thoughts than life in an old-fashioned sailing ship. The fact that these stories have already passed through several editions is sufficient proci

Toubtless the women of former ages had their own troubles and anxieties, which they solved in their own way; but the oldest of us of this generation are inclined to think that women were better off and more satis-) fed and more satisfying when they stayed ar home and busied themselves with the hum drin domestic affairs and reared large But whatever our opinion, thera families. is no denying the fact that economie changes, have brought about changes in the relations of men and women, and nowhere, probably, is this change more marked than it is in America,

It may not have been necessary for Mr. Oppenheim to take us into the lower strata of New York life to convinee us of this fact, but he has elected to do so, und his readers are brought face to face once again with what we euphemistically style the social evil as it affected the girls of thes lower grades of society. It is here that the idle wife of the opening chapter finds a vens for pent-up energies. There is a temporary estrangement from her husband, but it is pleasant to be able to record that all endu happily in the last chapter.

The Siege of Liège. A Chapter in the History of the European War. By PAUL HAMELIUus, D.Phil., Professor of English Literature at the University of Liege. With a Plan of the Forts. London: T. Werner. Lauris, Ltd. This is no learned disquisition for the student of the science of war; but a cireum stantial account by an eye-witness of the storming of the city and forts, of the events which led up to it and the subsequent German occupation. Nevertheless, the man of war who wishes to get early information of German methods of attack on what has proved w be one of the most important points in the campaign against the Allies in the western war-zone will learn much from this clear and graphic story of Professor Hamelius. It emerges from his description of Liège that the late Leopold II was always awake to the fact that Belgian neutrality was a pre- carious thing, and ho must have contemplated that the first attack would come from Germany when he pushed on the completion of the defences of Liège by Brialmont. I would also appear that the present King had been fully cognisant of the drift of the negotiations that led up to the war and had- been given a hint to adopt measures which, in the event, gave an effectual check to the Kaiser's army at the critical moment and damned the German plan of campaign from the start. Professor Hamelius residence was outside the town of Liège and not far from one of the forts. Ho did not see much of the actual fighting, Iving in bed through a bombardment which threatened the house he lived in; but he saw enough, both before and after the capture of the town, to give fallen $72,000,000 in six years, excluding one a vivid picture of what war means to a the Panama issues of $134,000,000.
