Interest Centers On Anna Viroubova’s “Memories of the Russian Court”

By Walter and. hickman. FIRESIDE READING in the fall and winter is now being promised by the publishers. There is no prevailing fashion in books. Oftm a ‘‘best seller” paves the way for numerous stories of the same nature, but the tastes of people in books does exist as in clothing. Young men may go “wild” over Valentino trousers and hundreds of men may wear ’em. It is a freak style. Not so with books. Some people read only fiction, others love stories, some essays and poetry and still ethers concern themselves with travel and books on historical subjects. All publishers in their fall lists are announcing books of all characters. No list is compleuo without its books of fiction, memeories and travel. Many books have been written on the iate Czar of Russia and his court. Realizing the interest in the “true” story of the conditions in the throne room of the former Czar, The Macmillan Company announces for early fall release “Memories of the Russian Court,” written by Anna Viroubova, a friend of the royal family. Anthor Gives Different Picture of the Czar In the advance information I have received from the publishers, it is evident that the author gives a different dlscription of the Czar and his wife than has previously been given the world. I quote the following from advance sheets of “Memories of the Russian Court:” “Before the war the Emperor of Russia was pictured far and wide as a cruel tyrant deliberately opposed to the interests of his people, while the Empress appeared as a cold, proud woman, a ‘malade imaginaire,’ wholly indifferent to the public good. Both of these pictures are cruelly mlsrepresentative. Nicholas II and his wife were human beings, wdth (human

She was often for the moment furiously angry with her maids whom, too often, she discovered in insincerities and deceit. “The Emneror’s anger was slower

rpHE ideal business organization is one where, when a member of the Board of Directors leaves, there is a general advance all along the line; a new office boy is hired and the machine is complete in every detail. It is toward such an ideal that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is striving. In the selection of employes great care is taken to get young men who may be developed for positions of responsibility and trust. The results of this policy are to be seen by taking a careful check of the higher officers of this Company. Every one of these has come up through the ranks, .iiany ffom the lowliest beginning. They have won preferment by unusuarfitness, by sheer ability and mastery of the particular work entrusted to their care. It is this spirit of pure democracy which has made the organization of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) what it is today—a big, loyal, hardworking group of men and women, bound together by mutual consideration, respect and ambition. The men in the ranks of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have constantly before them the examples of those now directing the Company's activities. They know that there is an open road ahead, and that for the men who show unusual aptitude in any department of the business; unusual ability to vision the future, or to direct the immediate, there are no limitations placed upon advancement. Such men, taken from the ranks, will be the directing heads a few years hence. This' spirit, permeating every employe from the top to the bottom, keys the entire organization to a pitch of efficiency which enables the Company to render a superior service to 30 million people of the middle west.

to arouse and much slower to pass. Ordinarily he was the kindest and simplest of men, not in the least proud or over-conscious of his exalted position. His self-control was so great that to those who knew him little he often appeared absent-minded and indifferent. The fact is he was so reserved that he seemed to fear any kind of self-reVealment. His mind was singularly acute, and he should have used it more accurately to gauge the characters of persons surrounding him. "It was entirely within his mental powers to sense the atmosphere of gossip and calumny that surrounded the Court during the last years, and certainly it was within his power to put a stop to idle and malicious talk. But it was rarely possible to arouse him to its importance. ‘What high--minded person would believe such nonsense? was his usual comment. Alas! he little realized how few were the really high-minded people who, in the last years of the Empire, surrounded his person or that of the Empress.” -I- -I- -IDoran Company Publishes Nine Interesting Books The list of new publications of George H. Doran Company include nine books covering many subjeest. This again proves that there is no prevailing style in books. Doran’s list includes the following: THE DOMINANT SEX,” by Mathilde and Mathias Vaertlng, translated by Eden and Cedar Paul. The authors show that there are no “masculine” or “feminine” characteristics, but only those of a dominant and a subordinate sex. In various societies at various periods, woman has been dominant and has then exhibited the so-called “masculine” traits and characters, even to physical superiority over the man. “AMERICAN POEMS,” J>y J.
