She gave a g`r:1phic resume of the work in South China since that `time and the difficulties encountered. Speaking of her work from a medical standpoint she -pictured the dark. windlowless. filthy homes of the people, where septic germs abounded. yet in these filthy surroundings she performed hundreds of critical operations which ordinarily would never have been at- tempted. and strange to relate, nearly all her cases responded to treatment. and made complete recoveries. Before the advent of Christianity the death rate among mothers and infants was appalling. Their only help lay in the succor of. ignorant. unclean women. guilty of terrible practices, causing sufferings; untold. Under such condi- tions is `it to be wondered at that Chinese `women. came miles to the mission hospitals to be treated, and returned to their homesto spread the good news of healing and help? Who shall say how many lives these hospit- als have saved?

The novel, as an artistic achieve- ment. is a remarkable advance not only beyond Mr, Stead s previous work, but beyond any other novels of; western Canadian life yet published! The boy is surrounded by a rural community of interesting` characters distinctly drawn and charmingly fam- iliar to any one who knows rural life; in western or central qanada. They; are set out with insight and fine bal- ance and without exaggeration for dramatic effect; and the author has succeeded` in making an absorbing and significant story out of the small events of their superficially monoton- ous daily affairs. It is Mr. Stead's first novel ,of character study. He dis- plays indisputable genius in his clever] invention of revealing incident, in the skill with which he sets character a- gainst background. and in the manneri in which he develops the significance of apparently trivial matters. . H113 JUSL Ueuu_pu'usu\-:u .uy J.V].U\JlElldHu Stewart Limited, Toronto, is a signi- ficant contribution to the serious lit- erature of Canada. It far surpasses any previous story by this well known author. and will probably establish him in a category far ahead of that in which he has been found in the past. "Grain" is a fascinating presentation of a familiar type of boy of the Cana-' dian farms. of the current generation; U . it traces his development, absorbingly, from little boyhood through -adole- scence, into young manhood in the ru- ral isolation of the prairie gra'in fields, and reveals sympathetically the reac-' tion of his type of character to the peculiarities and limitations of his en- vironment. on a farm settled by a familiar Ontario pioneer family and developed with a clutter of modern! machinery and `engines.

I 600 such native states in India with populations of from 20,000 to 15,000,000` and varying in importance and in the. powers of the rulers. The natives con- sider themselves as allies. not sub- jects, of the British Empire. Great Britain's first contact with India was purely commercial, by the East India. Company which was formed in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The com- ipany was eventually compelled, for, its own protection, to-A take a` deeper interest in the country and this grad- ually developed to the present rela- tions between India and the Empire.

The dress of the modern girl is lacking in modesty. The short. gsleeveless gowns are not pretty and very conspicuous; knickers make a sensible sport costume but their place .is not on the street. The pre- usent-day girl is lowering the mor- al' standards of women by imitat- ing men in their use of tobacco and wine. It is to be hoped that the mo- thers-to-be will see not only the dan- ,ger, but also the undignlfied absurd- ity of imitating the weaknesses of men. ' A.....n.-._ _.- - - _H:uu5u.
