"The Florence of Lander," "The World Beautiful," etc. Illustrated from photographs. photo-graphs. Published by Little, Brown and company. Thn world's largest city is hare admirably ad-mirably described in all its attractiveness. attractive-ness. Lillian Whiting, who has already described other cttieg and lands, and who knows as it" by instinct what will appeal to the average reader, has In "The Lure of London' presented a work that its as Instructive and pleasing as accurate and artistic. The story for the most part ; deals v,ith the outward London, although a liberal space is devoted to the historic . aspects of the great city. In this work 1 the author has not endeavored to delve deep in reforms and renovations, but rather the reader is carried from one point of interest to another, and t lie re ! is not a dull chapter ov passage. The . -work contains more than thirty full-page I illustrations which brighten and enliven ; the text, and more than 350 pages are devoted to descriptive matter. . The chapter headings are as follows: ; "The Lure of London," "Hyde Park Cor-) Cor-) ner and Apsley House," "The Royal In-; In-; rtitution of Great Britain."' "The Na-' Na-' tlonal Galleries of Art," "Clubs, Societies, and Movements." "Color and Romance Of London." "English Sports and Amuse-' Amuse-' ments," "Factors. Personal Force?, und Customs," "The Living Influence of Victorian Vic-torian Literature." "Annie Besant and the Theosophical Society," "The Primate ' of England in Lambeth Falace." "Archdeacon "Arch-deacon Wilberiorce and Westminster 1 Abbey," and "The Spirit of London Life." The charm of London ha? always appealed ap-pealed to the average American, and just now when ties of sympathy and kinship kin-ship are closer drawn than in the past, an intelligent treatise on - London Is of more than usual interest. The book is a masterpiece of its kind, and is of especial value for reference purposes. LIEUTENANT COLONEL ALLEN3-"VVORTH. ALLEN3-"VVORTH. Battles and Victories of Allen Aliens-worth, Aliens-worth, A. M"., Ph. D.. Lieutenant Colonel, Col-onel, retired, U. S. Army. By Charles Alexander. The life history of this remarkable regro. the first and only man of his race to attain the rank of lieutenant colonel in the United Stated army, is certainly worthy of record. Alien Aliens-worth was born in obscurity Rnd as a slave. Later his father attempted to purchase the freedom free-dom uf himself and family from his master by 'h:rin his time" at the rate cf $2a a month and the payment of a Vonus. In this undertaking lie was thwarted, owing to the indebtedness of his master, and he soon found himself the property of another mas ten The family thus became separated and A Hens worth and his mother Li; came the pronf-rtv of others. At the aire of 13 All'-nsworth made a dash for liberty, but was recap-, recap-, fired and aain sold into si aver v. In (slavery he then remained until the b1- p'nnins- of the war. when he escaped and enlisted in the army. At the expiration cC his enlistment he engaged in the restaurant res-taurant business in St. Louis. Later he 'taught school, and it was while thus engaged en-gaged that he was ordained as a mln- lster in the Baptist church. He was made a chaplain in the army at the time of the 1 Spanish-American war. and at one time .was stationed at Fort Doug-las aa chaplain chap-lain cf the Twenty-fourth infantry, a negro regiment. Chaplain Aliens worth was not only beloved be-loved and respected by the colored enlist-; enlist-; ed men of his regiment, but by the white 'officers of his own regiment and others with whom he was thrown in contact. He never sought on account of his high portion por-tion to attain social prominence, hut by conscientious and intelligent service tie finade himself loved and respected by aiL AHensworth was the founder of the town by that name in southern California, where ulnce his retirement he has made his home, and where ho died as the. result re-sult of an accident In September of this year. SFIEIT OF CHRISTMAS. Betty's Virginia Christmas. By Molly Elliot Seawell. Illu titrations in Color by Henry J. Soulen. Decorations bv K. S. Hoiloway. Published by J. B. Lip-pincott Lip-pincott Company, Philadelphia. Miss Seawell has written a story that carries Uie true spirit of Christ maa to the hearts of young and old. The courtly atmosphere of ante-bellum days lives on in the household of the old colonel, the aged veteran of the war. Betty, his granddaughter, mischievous and charming, charm-ing, is the radiant light of the family: Aunt Tulip and Undo Caesar, the gray-haired gray-haired colored servants, are the remainders remaind-ers of the old icgluio beio' the war. At the neighboring count ry estates, to the tune of Dixie riddles, there is a. rout of festive dances, early morning fox hunts, and spirited feasts of turkey, eggnogg and the other delicious dishes for which Virginia, Vir-ginia, cooks and Virginia farms are rightly right-ly famous. Surely a delightful atmosphere for a sparkling love story. Philip Fortescue is a young northern officer In the United States army. Ills father has purcnased the estate uf Betty's Bet-ty's Grandfather, Colonel Beverley. The war had played havoc with tho haughty I colonel's hnances and it liad been neces-sa neces-sa ry for him to sell the large mansion house and remove with Betty and the old negro servants to a small hous on one corner of the plantation. At a Christmas ball Philip falls, as only a soldier can. head over heels in love with the bewitching bewitch-ing Miss Betty. The stinging frost of a Christmas morninsr tax hunt makes their very blood sing with the joy of living, and it looks very much as if the course ui true love was to run smoothly. There, how-! how-! ever, comes a disturbing hitch: Betty is : unable to adapt herself to the idea of i deserting "gran' dad." We rightly feei that this is only a passing phase, possibly pos-sibly but a part of Betty's southern coquetry, co-quetry, and before long the wedding bella ring and Miss Betty Beverley becomes Mrs. Philip Fortescue. The invirrorating atmosphere t'!is Christmas story is delightfully wholesome and the book will make a charming gift. TYPICAL COLLEGE STOEY. Bert Wilson on the Gridiron and Brt Wilson In the Rockies.
