AUTHOR OF
"THE AWAKENING OF
HELENA
The Awakening of Helena Richie, by Mar
garet Deland. SI. SO. Illustrated by Wal
ter Appleton Clark. Harper & Brothers,
New York City.
As a study of stormy mood, marked by
deep, throbbing sympathy, in picturing
the life ' of a lonely child, compelling
power, and commanding genius in delin
eating temperament, "The Awakening of
Helena Richie" is not only the most val
uable message Mrs. Deland has yet given
to humanity, but the novel is one of the
best read in recent years. As a writer of
current fiction, Mrs. Deland is stated to
be Mrs. Humphry Ward's greatest rival,
and in this connection "The Awakening
of Helena Richie" is much more worth
reading than "Fenwick's Career," which
Is advertised as Mrs. Ward's greatest
ever. The weak point in "Fenwick's Ca
reer" is its morbidness and want of hu
mor. Mrs. Deland's new book, so far as
old Benjamin Wright and young David
Allison are concerned, has many a merry
laugh. Yet it is not cheaply funny only
plenty of light and shade.
The two dominating personalities are
those of Mrs. Helena Richie and the lit
tle boy she afterwards adopts, David Al
lison. A great many people will admit
that he has the more pleasant, more orig
inal figure of the two, and were David
omitted from the list of characters the
result would be like a cluster of diamonds
with the principal, shining jewel left in
the shade. In the very first page the
reader scans, Mrs. Frederick, or Helena
Richie Is introduced as the woman in the
case, who lives in a habitation known as
the Stuffed Animal House, because its
previous owner had been a taxidermist
of some little renown. In a guarded way
we are Informed that she and her hus
band had separated, after the death of
their little child. Mr. Richie had "hurt
the baby when the latter was 8 months
and 12 days old. and he died seven weeks
later." Mrs. Richie came alone to live
at Old Chester, not very far, presumably,
from Philadelphia, and her husband con
veniently went to live abroad. Mrs.
Richie, who was well supplied with
money, had afterward secretly loved and
had "lived with" one Lloyd Prior, a wid
ower with one daughter, Alice, but of
course had kept this chapter of her life
hidden when she took up her habitation
in gossipy Old Chester. When Prior oc
casionally visited her, the gossips chari
tably understood that he was her brother
and Mrs. Richie did not contradict them.
In the fourth chapter, Mrs. Richie and
Prior have a private interview, when the
action is thus described:
"Nelly." said Prior, "you are prettier every
time I see you." He put a finger Into one of
the loose curls In the nape of her neck, and
she looked mjp at him, her lip trembling.
"And do you love me?"
"Of course I do." he declared, slipping bis
arm around her waist. And they walke.1
thus between the box borders, back to the
bouse.
At this stage of the story. Prior's
daughter, Alice, was 19 years old, and her
father had taken care that she had never
heard of Mrs. Richie's existence. Prior,
who was the Incarnation of selfishness
and the very opposite of a devoted lover,
was secretly debating whether he had not
better break off his relations with Mrs.
Richie and devote himself solely to his
, daughter. For her part. Mrs. Richie
found according to her environment that
she was living a lonely, unloved life, and
a sudden gleam of light came when the
venerable Episcopal minister of the par
ish, Dr. Lavender, proposed that she
adopt a little orphan boy. David Allison,
then seven years old. Mrs. Richie was
doubtful of the propriety of this proceed
ing, particularly as she had confessed
most of her past lite to the chief physi-
olan of Old Chester, Dr. William King.
But the little boy's strangely innocent,
winning ways drew her out of herself.
When she visited the rectory, Ir. Laven
der, with whom the little boy was resid
ing, said:
"Pavid. go upstairs and get me a pocket
handkerchief.
"('an I go upstairs like a crocodile?'
asked David.
Certainly. If It affords you the slightest
personal satisfaction," Dr. T.avender told
him, and the little boy crawled -laboriously
on his stomach all the way upstairs.
On being asked if he had any manners,
David replied: "I have them In my head.
But I only use them sometimes. Now
I'll play bear. I'm eating you. Now you
scream and I'll roar." He was a little
boy of many original sayings. Of course
he went to live at the Stuffed Animal
House, and Mrs. Richie began to love him
as if he had been the reincarnation of her
dead baby. Then Mr. Richie very prop
erly died, in Paris. In his languid way-
Prior condescendingly offered to marry
Mrs. Richie, but when she insisted on
David living with them. Prior intimated
that all matrimonial negotiations were
'off." Then came Mrs. Richie's "awak

ening." Should she choose David or
Prior? To her credit, she preferred the
former.
One of the sweetest, most lovable peo
ple in the book is Dr. Lavender, a minis
ter of the good old school, alas! fast van
ishing in these materialistic days. Would
we had more like him, with a presence
like a beautiful dream and a character
like a benediction. When Mrs. Richie
asked him if she could permanently adopt
David, Dr. Lavender asked:
"My friend, are you a good woman ?"
"Perhaps I don't think about things cults
as you do. 1 am not religious. I told you
that. I don't do things because of religion.
I believe in In reason, not in religion. I
try to be good in my way. I don't know
that I've been what you would call 'good
X don't believe in Heaven."
"Perhaps not." said Dr. Lavender, sadly.
"But oh my child, how do you believe in
hell."
"Yes. I do believe in bell," said Mrs.
Richie, her face quivering. "Because that
is what life is! I've never bad any happi
ness at all. ' Oh, It seemed so little a thing
to ask Just to be happy. ... It was
because of love. Christ said that because a
woman loved much, much was to be for
given."
The result of the conversation was that
she was forced to resign David into Dr.
Lavender's keeping. Dr. Lavender was
not as merciful as Jesus Is recorded in
the eighth chapter of St. John to have
been to the fallen woman: "Neither do
I condemn thee. Go and sin no more.
, . I am the light of the world. He
that followeth me shall not walk In dark
ness, but shall have the light of life."
Ultimately, Mrs. Richie agreed to depart
for the distant West, alone. But at the
last moment Dr. Lavender repented and
gave the little boy to her, and the two
go out of the story together happy at
last.

The Life of General Hugh Mercer, by John
T. Goolrlck. 1.50. Illustrated. The
Neale Publishing Company, New York
City.
In studying the history of the Ameri
can Revolution, many students have no
ted that one commanding figure has
stood out in that struggle from among
those who saved our country that of
George Washington. But, he did not do
his great work unaided. One of his most
devoted co-laborers in the cause of free
dom was that brave Scotch soldier of
fortune. General Hugh Mercer, the real
hero of the battles of Trenton and
Princeton. The study of General Hugh
Mercer's life also brings to mind the fact
that the fight for Americon independence
was not entirely won by native Ameri
can soldiers, but partially by soldiers
born in Great Britain and France. Mr.
Goolrlck "has performed a public duty in
bringing to light an- array of historical
facts in connection with the life of Hugh
Mercer, a general in the. Continental
army, and who died January 12, 1777 from
wounds received In battle. He suffered
seven different bayonet wounds In his
body at the hands of British soldiers:
Mr. Goolrlck also gives brief sketches
of General Washington, John Paul Jone:
General Georw Wheeden, James Monroe,
and Mrs Mary Ball Washington, and an
account of Lodge No. 4. A. F. & A. M.. of

A notable volume of ooems on Panama !
themes, by James Stanley Gilbert, Is Issued by
Kooert Grier Cooke, Inc., rew Tork, which
collection is most apropos of public interest
in Ishtmlan matters. Life on the Isthmus
of Panama has Interesting and peculiar
features. 'Among those who have, from time
to time, held official positions in tne differ
ent companies, or who have engaged in other
oueiness pursuits, there has, now and then,
been one who has caught the spirit of the
place and has had the surprising energy to
write interestingly of his surroundings.
James Stanley Gilbert has done this ad
mirably in these poems which are prefaced
wl th an appreciative foreword by Tracy
Robinson.
David Graham Phillips, the novelist, lived
for a long time on the East Side of New
Tork. He went there with tne Impression
that he was going to find a strange sort of
human beings, quite different from those he
had been brought up among in Madison. Ind.
He found that they were precisely the same;
tnat after all, Americans do not differ much
the land over. Indeed, he came to believe
that on the East Side was "the society of
the real New Tork, the millions who work
hard and live plainly, whose Ideals center
about the heartn." This Idea is made very
clear in. "The Fortune Hunter," his latest
story, which deals with life on Avenue A.
Hilda, the heroine, was a lovely, fascinating
girl Mr. Phillips used to see In a delicatessen
shop. She can hold her own with the draw

Talking of the influence of literature. The
News and Courier, of Charleston. S. C, says
that Owen Wisters novel called "Lady Balti
more," has greatly increased the demand for
the cake (a Charleston confection) for which
it is named. In fact, Mr. Wister has created
a large market for this, cake, hitherto, scarce
ly known out of South Carolina. According
to the New York Times Saturday Review, its
price has Increased 50 per cent. The News
and Courier notes an order for 25 cakes at a
cost of 1 40 for a charity bazaar, in a New
Jersey town, where a slice of the cake was
to be sold with a copy of the novel. Cake
and fiction thus go hand In hand. The best
of it is that Mr. Wister' s novel is no ordinary
"best seller," but a book of extraordinary
merit. It has been received with great favor
on both sides of the Atlantic, and is ac
counted by many its author's best work.
Theodora Peck, author of "Hester of the

Green Mountain State, and also a daughter
of a hero of the Civil War, General Theo

of his country was recognized In the be
stowal upon him of & congressional medal of
honor. With her youthful Imagination
kindled by recitals of deeds of patriotism
and heroism in whlca her - family had a
part, she early began writing stories and
poems of tove and war. She was born in
Burlington, in 1882, and her first poem was
produceM at the age of seven. When she
was 15 she wrote some verses about the
sinking of the battleship Maine, entitled,
"By the Hand of an Unseen Foe," which
was copied widely over the country- She
was only 19 when she wrote "Hester of the
Grants." "Old Bennington," the scene of
the tale, is full of memories of the Revolu
tionary period.
"I had ''seen the name of Margaret Deland
