Wall, is one of the latest books to come to our table. One hardly expects a story of the kind from its author, who is the president of the National Association of Manufac turers, and has been brought into great prominence during the last few years by his uncompromising attitude toward or ganized labor and his advocacy of the "open shop." Probably no man in the United States is more thoroughly hated by trades" unionists, and yet as he has taken pains publicly to affirm, he is in favor of legitimate trades unionism and only opposed to its illegal methods and to its exploitations by demagogues and leaders of the Sam Parks type. There is no reason, however, why this man should not write a novel to show what his ideas of that style of socialism, when reduced to its logical conclusion, would produce. The scene of this novel is laid in the lost city of Atlantis, which is discovered by a despondent man who attempts sui cide by throwing himself into the water, but is rescued and restored to conscious ness by a surgeon who is a member of the fishery department of that city, is also as The Scarlet Empire. His rescuer explains to him that The Scarlet Empire is a social democracy, the most advanced form of government in history and a land of many laws. The first law which is brought to his attention is one limiting the number of words which a man may speak in a day, and every citi zen is compelled to carry a verbometer which is inspected daily by the inspector of speech. On expressing his astonish ment at such a law, he is informed that it is dangerous even to hint at a doubt as to the righteousness of any law. The ma jority rules in Atlantis, and the individual must obey implicitly. Further, an un restrained tongue leads frequently to crime and conspiracy, and moreover, it is not in consonance with the fundamental idea of universal equality, which the Democracy seeks to enforce, for one in dividual to talk more than another. Peo ple have no names in Atlantis, but are known by number. The initiation of this new member of Atlantis society into the social Democracy (a form of government, by the way, of which he had always been a most stren uous advocate) , his experience with the grinding routine of universal equality, and his final escape from what had be come a most unpleasant experience, are the framework upon which the author has built up a very clever satire upon the teachings of socialism. When one con siders the purpose 'for which the book was evidently written, the story, in spite of some crudities and in spite of its em ployment of many melodramatic devices, is one of great interest and will, no doubt, cause a great deal of discussion. Jt is as nearly as possible the direct antithesis of "Looking Backward," and many peo ple will believe that it presents a much truer and more convincing picture of the dead level toward which these teachings tend. The Girl In Waiting-. "The Girl in Waiting," by Archibald Eyre (John W. Luce & Co.), is an un usually bright and sparkling story of English life. It opens with a somewhat unusual scene, wherein a beautiful young lady is discovered sometime after mid night seated on the doorsteps of a house in Mayfair, carefully attending her aged father, who has evidently taken too much liquid refreshment. They have appar ently been locked out of the house and are unable to arouse the servants, and their t veiling dress makes the situation somewhat amusing to passers-by. One of these a young man, stops and offers to assist them to get into the house, which ofi'er the young lady scornfully spurns, lie, however, persists and ex amining the surroundings, tells her how easy it would be to let himself down into the area, break a window and get in, and thus open the door for the stranded revellers. Somewhat amused by his per sistency, she accepts this oiler, and just as she hears the crash of the glass, one of her own servants rushes up with the key which has been left at the father's club. Their house, however, is on the opposite side of the street, and thither they betake themselves with all convenient speed, and from her chamber window she watches the kind-hearted young man as he is marched down the street by two police ofiiceis on the way to be locked up on the charge of burglary. This is a sufiieiently startling introduc tion to hang any kind of a sequel upon. Of course the rules of fiction if not of real life, require that the hard-heart(d young lady should eventually marry the kind youth and live happily ever after, and presumably wre can trust the author to bring about such a comfortable result ; but, of course, complications must defer that to a considerably later period, and these complications arise from the fact that the father marries the owner of the house which was burglariously en tered, believing that she alone has the firmness of character to wean him from his one weakness of over-indulgence in drink. She is a reformer from the centre of Peformville, and not satisfied with the job which she has undertaken with the father, she decides to reform the daughter and every one else upon whom she may lay her hands. The kind hearted young man, too, is unfortunately the only son of his mother, and she has undertaken to bring him up'in the straight and narrow path, and his visit to London, where he was arrested, was almost the first time that he had been away from the protecting parental apron strings. But it is by no means our part to in troduce the reader in this article to the varied and . multiform complications aforementioned, and we advise him to get the book just as soon as he can and read it carefully. It is especially bright in its conversation, and, in fact, there is not a dull moment for the reader in it.
