'Tis Sad 'Tis So.—Leading book publishers of London were invited to give testimony before a conference on public morals regarding books and their influence, and they were agreed in the statement that women write most of the books which are objectionable from a moral point of view, and that the success of such books depends mainly on the number of women that buy them. That certainly is a sad sort of condition. The latter conclusion that women largely buy these books, may be due to the fact that curiosity is much stronger in women than in men generally. If this element of curiosity is not properly educated, it is very likely to lead souls astray.
