Uncle Arthur came round, his face rather red, and sat down beside David.
"Don't you believe them, Major," he said softly. "I could have done it much better if I could have worn my corporal's uniform."

A COURT OF INQUIRY
BY GRACE S. RICHMOND.
This is a charming story of a group of girl and men friends and the effect of their pairing off upon the narrator and her "Philosopher." Althea, Azalea, Camellia, Dahlia, Hepatica—and their several entanglements with the Promoter, the Cashier, the Skeptic, the Judge and the Professor, form an admirable background of diverse personalities against which grows the main love story. One sees these charming groups through the eyes of the one who tells the tale—and very shrewd and delightful eyes they are, seeing life in its true perspective with much real philosophy and true feeling. Mrs. Richmond has never written anything more fresh and human and entertaining.
