POWER THROUGH REPOSE. BY MARY S. BRAMAN. “The writer of this valuable treatise has learned that one of the secrets of power is the conserva- tion of energy, and she points out the great forces wasted in ‘gushing’ and other forms of hysteria. “ Other ‘ cases ’ of this sort are treated in a special chapter. “The charm of composure and the restfulness of a quiet manner were never brought before the reader more clearly. Besides the more theoretical parts of the book, there are practical hints as to ‘how to seem at ease when rattled.' The book is well illustrated by the author.”—Syracuse Digest. 7
