A BOOK ON MOTHERS. Tin Mother Book. By Muriel IJ. S.nusir. Tubllshct lr A. C. .McClurc fc Co., Chicago. A book by Margaret E. Sangsler is always al-ways welcome to thrt American public. This one is especially welcome, because It has a tliomc that appeals to everyone, and It deals with a aubject of the most vital interest. As alio says. "The mother stands In thu foreground as the guardian angel of the home." She Ik the dominant domi-nant figure in home life. Her personalis, her pervading Influence, constitute a force for good not to be estimated In ordinary standards; as she expresses It, "not to be set down In cold type or weighed In earthly balances." Although Uero arc mothers thai are weak and in-I in-I canable, selfish and careless and her i children suffer accordingly, traditionally the mother Is usually equal to her task, and Is prepared for every cmcrgcncv. The most frivolous take on thc care and i responsibility of maternity. "Not only does the Madonna smile upon us from our wall, wc meet her everywhere in life." ' Thb book docs not. deal with the care of thc nursery, or with tho physical aspects as-pects of maternity. It is called "The Mother Book" hecause every phase that affects thc homo has something to do with tho mother. The several themes treated In thc pages have a distinct bearing bear-ing on household lii'o, and In thc realm of the household thc mother Is queen. The chapter titles. "The. Millionaire Mother," "Tho Mother Who Is Foreign Born." "The Mother In tho Teetimcnt," "Mother and Daughter "Love thc Cor-ner-Stone," "Thc "Wedding March," "About Husbands," "The Mouse of Dreams Home Amusements." "The Children's Chil-dren's Reading." "Tim Outsider in thc Homo." "Bachelor Uncles and Spinster Aunts." "Misfit Education of Our Girls." "The Future of the Children.'" "The Boy and the Latch-Koy." "Our Teachers and Our Schools." "A Vital Domestic Problem." Prob-lem." "Idal Housekeeping." "The Real Things." "Marriage; Its Success or Failure," Fail-ure," "The Danger of Being Too Busy." "Looking Forward." "Life In tho Spring." "A June Talk." "Meeting Summer Problems." Prob-lems."

"Two Opinions," "Thc Allround Woman." "Stepmothers and Mothers by Adoption," "Thc Dominant Mother." "Tho Secret of faster," give an excellent Idea of the scope of this hook, which can be unreservedly unre-servedly commended to the public as one of thc best that have been written on th. subject of mot'horhood, motherlove, and care of the home.

The theme of the story is that the young man goes from his country homo to make his way In New York. He finds there the girl, and thc Inspiration that she glvc3 him l thc theme of thc work. The two do not get along very well at the first. The girl Is resentful of thc sort of story that the young man is going to write, and Insists In-sists that her personality shall not appear ap-pear in it. There is the settled working of mind upon mind in the division of the book which relates to the meeting and the parting, the girl solng to Europe and thc young man staying in New York. Then there Is thc period of walling while sho is away, and then "thc getting home." The young man at times treats the girl with studied indifference; he rejects re-jects her opinions nnd holds steadfast to his own. very much to her disgust at first, but very much to her admiration at the last. The episode of the young man's grandmother Introduced Into the book, as n reminiscence Is quite worthy of the high repute of Mr. Allen, who scorns to he getting more and moro a follower of Henry James thnu he has been in thc past.

This scheme has boon well followed. fol-lowed. We havo here first the Introduction, Introduc-tion, then an account of Lincoln's early years, of Lincoln thn lawyer, of local politics in Illinois and thc Douglas donates, do-nates, an account of Lincoln at the White House, at the battlo front, and of his estimates of and intercourse with General Grant. The work is o. valuable one. as bringing together authentic, stories of Lincoln, since so very many stories are attributed to Lincoln, that he certainly would not havo used and that he could not have made any point In using. But tho Lincoln stories always had point, and bore directly op the matter mat-ter In hand. It Is good to have an authentic au-thentic version of Lincoln stories, and the public has It here In this fine work. LITERARY NOTES. From the publlf.her?, B. D. Beny & Co . Chl-easo.
