In the newspaper story of a minister who recently resigned his pulpit on account of a scandal, is one little para graph that seems to me so tremendously illuminating, not only of this trag edy hut of thou sands of others like It, that I want to quote It for you. This was it: "Miss (the woman in the case) was one of aparty of tourists who went abroad with Dr.

A (the minister concerned) last summer. Mrs. A was not of the party." Do you know. It seems to me that our understanding ot the phenomenon of love, if not our power to deal with it, would be vastly increased if we only admitted what a very large part propinquity plays in the arousing of this passion. When two lovers, clasped in each other's arms, whisper to each other, "Dearest, you are so different from all the other (men women) in the world; you are the only human being I could possibly love aa I in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, at least, I think they are lying.

No, I II take that back. A lie fs an intention to deceive. A great many of them have no intention to deceive. They are themselves deceived rather than deceivers. Thy mean what they say, all right, but it just isn't so.

In the one hundredth case this beautiful and comforting sentiment may approximate truth. In the other ninety-nine cases well, if it had been Agnes Instead of Mary who came to make a long visit to John's sister that summer (he was Just through college and ripe to fall in love with some nice girl), Agnes being about as attractive as Mary, he would probably be whispering those words to Agnes now, instead of to Mary. One of my friends was engaged some years ago to an agreeable and apparently most desirable young man. After she had been engaged about a year it became necessary for him to move to a distant city. He wanted her to marry him and go with him.

She was willing to do this, but her mother finally persuaded her to wait awhile.

For the outside cover she used postcard otne of the big ocean liners, and for the back cover a Home Again card of New York harbor. On thest she wrote appropriate sentiments. With a little card punch she clipped round holes in the cards and fastened all together with a gold cord resembling in twist as nearly as she could find it a rope, so as to suggest the ropes everywhere coiled on a ship's deck. It Is very pretty, quite unique, and as the cards are turned over one after another and the messages are read, the reader who has visited these places cannot but alternately chuckle and roar with laughter, so clever and apt are the sentiments. The writer was absolutely without reverence for anything he saw, and he punctured most wittily some beautiful bubbles about European travel with its famous places.

Even if one did not want to use these clippings, a very pretty gift of this sort could be made for one who has traveled by writing interesting quotations from famous authors on postcards about the places they depict.

This roan is well off and is bountifully supplied with necessities and luxuries. He has a host of nieces and nephews, who every Christmas give him about everything mortal mind -can think Of. So it is a proposition to his friends, especially to those friends where cost is an item that must be considered, to know just what to send him that will give him pleasure. One friend thinks she has solved it this year. Her gift at any rate 4s unique and it cannot but afford some amusement and cause many a good laugh.

And this is something. It has beside, the personal flavor which she knows this man wilt- appreciate. A year or so ago there appeared in a popular woman's journal a little series called "His Postcards Home," or something on that order. They were postcards purporting to be sent by a young man traveling abroad to his family and friends at home. They were about the cleverest and wittiest thing of the kind that has been done for many a year.

They covered the usual route of travel and took off most delightfully the well known sight seeing features of Europe's most famous places. The whole country was laughing over them and talking about them. But inasmuch as this man does not move in circles where journals, particularly for women, are much read, this woman found by dint of careful questioning that he had not seen these postcard articles. So she bought foreign postcards of the cities and places' the young man had pilloried, secured back numbers of the magazine, and cutting out the clever litle skit on each place, pasted little river of boyish sport upon "the pageant of th hills and the panorama of battle upon the camp of the two friends under the guardian oak; upon the review of the warriors of history; upon the birth of the hunter's heart in two small brothers, the deep fishing pool, the wood en bridge and other commonplace material.

The illustrations by Howard "In Africa." by John T. McCutcheon, illustrated with drawings by the author and 125 photographs, published by the Bobbs-Merrlll Indianapolis; price $3.

John T. McCutcheon. whose Bird Center cartoons In the Chicago Tribune have made him famous, went through Africa as a hunter and naturalist first and a seeker I after the lighter phases of life as a1 secondary object. Mr. McCutcheon's book conveys a great amount or iresn nu most Interesting information, and at the same time brims with delicious humor.

Many popular misconceptions about East Africa and the natives and game that inhabit It are dispelled. Mr. McCutcheon differs from Col. Roosevelt as to the possibilities of the country in the hands of white men, believing that lta un-healthful climate and the Immense depredations committed by wild animals, particularly by herds of zebras, preclude the probability of large returns on agricultural investments. The description of Nairobi, the farthest outpost of civilization where there are electric lights, hotels, shops at which practically everything can be bought, where British hunters in full and picturesque regalia gather in the lobbies, yet where, within five miles, 15 different kinds of wild game were killed, is vivid.

The writer tells of the government rake-off on ivory tusks and of single sportsmen who have shot 300 elephants. He communicates to the reader a curious thrill when he tells of the government preserves where all sorts of wild animals.

Like most of Mr. Allen's Kentucky stories, the reader is oftlmes given more description than action. The propelling force which moves the characters to action and which brings about the different situa-tons in the story Is a force which at the present moment in our civilization is engaging the study of many minds, a force of unknown nature and as yet of unmeasured possibilities for good and 'evil the power of suggestion.

The general theme of the work is a study of a group of American children, the offspring of the two families, whose parents are involved in one of life's tragedies; in it Is Interpreted the new spirit of American childhood with reference to the miracles and ledgends and lore of olden lands and older ages as these have slowly gathered about the Christmas festival.
