Pratrlrk'a rvwr, by Mrs. Humphrey Ward.
Illustrated. $1.50. Harper & Brothers.
New York City, and the J. K. Gill Com
pany. Portland.
In stylo and color this novel of emo
tion and art Is essentially English, and
could not by any possibility be mistaken
bs being: the work of a typical American.
Its lolk are staid and conservative
many of them gloomy and they move
without humor. Yet "Fenwlnk's Career,"
written by one of the most famous world
novelists has already created something:
of a sensation, and is certain to be
among the six big sellers. During the
recent publication of the novel in the
pages of the Century Magazine, the
treatment of the vexed marriase question
made readers wonder if such a philo
sophic novelist as Mrs. Humphrey Ward
would err in arriving at a cheap conclu
sion, a la Marie Corelll and her ilk.
Perish the thought. Mrs. Humphrey
"Ward is ever herself.
From the maze of characters in the
book John Fenwick, portrait painter and
artist, stands out like a cameo. He' Is
so human, crude, whimsical, visionary
one who is a prey to the Irritation of the
moment. It would not be too much to
say that he materially ruined his artistic
life by his lack of common sense, want
of decision, and fondness for yielding to
outbursts of temper. Yet there must
be many John Fenwicks. and the auth
oress did not chisel a block of marble
and evolve a perfect man. She pictures
In a broadly sympathetic manner John
Fenwick as a painter in a little West
moreland village and who though of un
doubted talent is handicapped by lack
of proper artistic training and an Ill
mated marriage.
How waji Fenwick to get artistic train
ing at distant London, and yet support
bis wife and little daughter? He is
made to proceed, to the great art center,
and, representing himself as an unmar
ried man, he secures the Interest and
Iriendsliip of wealthy and highly educat
ed art patrons. One of these Is Ku
Kenie de Piistourelles, a beautiful woman
unhappily married and living apart from
her husband. Fenwick comes to rely
more and more on Madame de Pastour
elles for inspiration and sympathy, al
though the word love Is not mentioned
between them. Its like playing with
edged tools. But the authoress handles
the complex situation with practical skill.
The careless, almost Bohemian art life,
with its dollars today and cents tomor
row, is portrayed In a fascinating man
ner. But jealousy, the disturbing ele
ment, creeps along in the person of Mrs.
Fenwick, who comes to Ixmdon unan
nounced. Willing to forgive her hus
band's perfidy, although he had ceased
to correspond with her. Mrs. Fenwick is
aroused to bitter action by her supposed
discovery that her husband loved Eu
genie. Mrs. Fenwick and daughter, un
der assumed names, secretly proceed to
Canada, where they remained 12 years
unknown to the husband and father.
At this point Mrs. Ward makes a cu
rious geographical mistake on pages
341-2. The narrative says: "From Mont
real It appeared she had gone to a fruit
farm In the Hamilton district. - Ontario,
as housekeeper to a widower with a fam
llv or children varying In age from 6 to
IS. It was an apple farm, running down
to Lake Superior. Once she went to
Nlaqara." Mrs. Ward. In future edi
tions of this novel, please write Lake
Ontario, as the City of Hamilton. In the
Niagara district and famous as the hab
itation of the Canadian who won the
Marathon race in Greece the other day,
Is at the head of T-ake Ontario.
Kugcnie's husband dies. The problem
in the novel is: Were the relations be
tween Eugenie and Fenwick only those
of Platonic friendship? A similar thought
occurs in Trilby." before Svengall mar
ries his hapless victim. There must be
two opinions on the subject, left to the
reader's power of penetration. Fenwick
succeedd In his art and became a famous
painter but at the cost of loss of good
Ideals and shattered strength. Mrs. Fen
wick returns from Canada, and weak,
forgiving woman that she is. pardons the
husband who had so basely disowned her.
Eugenie remains unmarried to the end.
She does not spend her life administering
to the wants of the poor. She finds out
that her real sphere lay in what a great
preacher describes as "our duty to our
equals" the hardest of all.
Fenwick goes out ct the book as he
was from the beginning-a creature of
Impulse, a crank yet capable of compel
!ng the love of more than one woman, and
delighting In the exercise of temper and
pure selilshness.

l.tidr Baltimore, bv Owen "Wister fl.RO.
riustrated. The Macmillaa Company,
New York Ctty.
A present-day novel of temperament
snd character, wherein such subjects as
the newly-rich, the negro Issue down
fiouth. divorce, automoblling snd Social
ism are cleverly discussed. The novel
will be chiefly remembered from the dis
cussion It caused of the questions named
during its recent serial publication in the
Saturday Evening Poet. The narrative
bristles with sturdy Americanisms and Its
great merit consists In the fact that
it amuses and interests the reader.
In "The Virginian" Mr. Wister cre
ated a horseman of the plains. In
"Lady Baltimore" Mr. Wister tells of
plain every-day folks who live a
sleepy-Hollow-so-t-of-existence at King's
Port, South Carolina, and Southern sen
timent large predominates. The story
Is told In the first person singular by
one Augustus Fanning, who was sent
by his aunt Carola to supplement fam
ily history at King's Port, and the part
he plays In the little comedy is told
with gentle humor.
Who was Lady Baltimore? The name
of a cake-described as follows: "It's
all soft and it's in layers and It has
nuts but I can't write any more about
It. My mouth waters too much." It Is
noted that this copied Joke la used:
"What with the New York Sun mak
ing vice so attractive In the morning,
and the New York Evening Post mak
ing virtue so odious In the evening, it
Is very bard for a man to be good in
New York." The Illustrations by Ver
non Howe Bailey and Lester Ralph
are superfine, and the pictures of many
gabled houses and old-fashioned
church spires add to the value of the
book.

Where Speech Ends: A Music Maker's Ro
mance, by Robert Haven Schauffler. Illus
trated. $1.50. Moffat. Yard & Co.. New

fails one. This is the chief thought of

Dyke contributes a prelude with a musi
cal setting, and the enjoyable Illustrations
are by E. W. Ashe, Frederic Dorr Steele
and Leon Guipon.
The Origin of Life, by John Butler Burke.
Illustrated. The Frederick A. Stokes
Company. New York City.
In writing "The Origin of Life" as af
fecting its physical basis and definition.
Professor Burke has presented a most
valuable, sane message on a problem
puzzling both scientific and nonscientlfio
minds since the deliverances of such emi
nent savants as Tyndall, Huxley, Dar
win, Haeckel and Lodge.
It Is not too much to say that Interest
In the question of spontaneous generation
Is very much on the Increase, and what
Professor Burke has to say will be
listened to as coming from one having
authority. He writes of such prob
lems as the correlation of vital phenom
ena, of artificial cells and artificial life,
the descent of living protoplasm, radio
activity and phosphorescence, etc. He
does not give support to the doctrine of
ablogenesis. but thinks we have arrived
at a method of structural organic syn
thesis of artificial cells which at least
gives His something to place In- the gap
between living and dead matter. Part
of the subject discussed has already ap
peared as an article In the Fortnightly
Review.

love story and an Ill-advised marriage
make up the tale which is entertaining
and worthy of warm appreciation.

Poems, by Post Wheeler. Elkln Mathews,
London. England.
Although the title page of this book
suggests England, the poems are Ameri
can to the core; For the poet, Post
Wheeler, whose complete name is George
Post Wheeler, was born in New York, is
a graduate of Princeton University and
for years he has been associated with the
business Interests of Ellensburg, Wash.
Mr. Wheeler has also been an American
newspaper man, a foreign correspondent,
and a gold-hunter in the country about
Dawson and In the Bircli Creek District
in Alaska.
Since the lamented Eugene Fields died,
lovers of his poetry have been waiting
for his reincarnation In verse. There
have been several false appearances of
the familiar spirit, but after carefully
reading Mr. Wheeler's poems and drink
ing in his purity of sentiment, glowing
rhyme and gift of real song one arrives
at the opinion that Mr. Wheeler Is a
typical American poet,, and that he pos
sesses many of the attributes of Eugene
Field. There is a ringing sympathy, a
pathos, in the Wheeler poety, now a calm,
restful note and now a call to prayer.
In the years that are to come, may the
Wheeler muse grow In strength and
beauty, until the poet composes along
National lines for America's sake.
Here is the first verse of Wheeler's
"Little Bo-Peep":
Little Bo-Peep sits on my knee
Little Bo-Peep with head of gold,
Softly singing In baby key
Of a poor little sheep that was out In the
cold:
A poor little sheep that had lost Its fold.
Just that a sad little song might be
For little Bo-Peep with her three years old
To sit and solemnly sing to me.

pose of improving the breeds of horses as a
branch of the department's work. It will be
remembered that Mr. Speed, in his book,
made a strong plea for the betterment of
present breed in this country by a new In
fusion of Arab blood. He gave an interest
ing account of the experiments that were
made in this direction by the lata Randolph
Huntington at his stock farm with an Arab
stallion presented to General Grant by the
Sultan of Turkey. Mr. Speed also contends
that breed has been left too much to chance

for exportation to the Philippines.
A delightful background for a charming
love story la contained In the little English
town where Miss Harraden's story, . "The
Scholar's Daughter," opens. The ambition
of the old scholar in the story is to found
a great 'dictionary. In his country library
the bookworms are delving with might and
main at this mighty book, which progresses
at a snail's pace. Some very pretty satire
and comedy are developed in the dialogue
of the bookworms. Into this musty atmos
phere Miss Geraldine suddenly appears like
a bombshell, stirs up the bookworms, sends
them all off fishing, and drives her father,
the austere old scholar, almost to despair.
With her wit and Joyousness Miss Geraldine,
furnishes a perfect foil to the-old father
and to the dictionary, which one comes to
love almost as a person. A charming1 book
for a rainy day.
