Review of Three Interesting Booths
"THE HELPMATE." By May Sin
clair. (Henry Holt & Co.)
All reader* of present day books
know wbat It means to And a book so
rare and so delightful that we linger
over It. With loving Interest, dreading
the time when we shall reach the end.
It Is admitted that such delight has not
come to us many times within recent
years, but It has now and then—It
By ARTHUR PENDENNIS, JR,
comes to us in "The Helpmate,” by
Miss Mpy Sinclair. When such a book
duds It* welcome way to a reviewer
and Is appreciated, then only does he
regret the lack ft space In newspapers
devoted to books m which to say what
he really thinks about so notable a
literary production as "The Helpmate."
jt would necessitate the use of a whole
page of The Georgian to print all of the
good things that could be truthfully
said about Miss Sinclair's new novel.
There Is really no need to apeak of the
dood of "tommy rot" which all of us
are called on to read through necessity
or otherwise, but It Is only by compari
son with the aforesaid "tommy rot"
that a piece of literary workmanship
such as "The Helpmate" can be per
fectly appreciated.
"The Helpmate" Is simply the story
of Walter Majendle, who marries Anne
Fletcher. Walter Majendle Is a splen
did, true man, with his faults, past and
present—like all other normal men.
Anne Majendle Is a good woman. Good
should be underscored In this connection
and possibly behind the word good
should be a parenthesis question mark.
At any rate, Anne was good, for she
said so herself—she had Ideals; she
went to church: she lived up to her
lights, and they were very high up or
low down, as you will. Walter Majendle
loved passionately Anne for Just what
she was. He recognised her peculiari
ties and endeavored to live up to her
ideals simply to please her. Anne had
believed Walter to be good. He was
good, but he was not exactly her kind
of good. Most people Insist upon others
being good, not In their own way, but
as they desire them to be.
Walter had had a past, but he was
ashamed of It and was trying to live It
down, If such a. thing were possible—
that Is to say. If the good (?) people
would only let him. Anne marries
Walter and on the wedding tour she
hears something of Walter’s past—
namely, Lady Cayley. The book opens
on tho third day of the wedding Jour
ney.
"It was 4 'o'clock In the morning.
Mrs. Walter Majendle still lay on the
extreme edge of the bed, with her face
turned to the dim line of sea discern
ible through the open window of the
hotel bedroom. Since midnight, when
she had gone to bed, she had lain In
that uncomfortable position, motion
less. Irremediably awake. Mrs. Walter
Majendle was thinking."
Anne Majendle had that afternoon
first heard of Lady Cayley and she was
lying awake, getting ready to have It
out with Walter, on this the third day
of the wedding Journey. Walter awak
ens; an explanation Ib demanded, and
the light between a good (?) woman
and, a strong man who passionately
loves hls wife begins, and for 488 pages
the book Is simply delightful In Its
strong clinical study of the conjugal
condition of Walter and Anne Majen
dle; of hls and her friends, and, best
of all, about dear Edith Majendle, the
sweet sister of Walter: the poor crip
pled woman "with a spine.” Edle Ma
jendle Is Introduced to the reader when
the bridal couplo returns to their home.
Edle In her crippled condition Is the
real "helpmate" to her brother, and to
all others with whom she comes In
contact, even to a dissolute rounder,
Charley Gorst, who loves Edle In spite
of her deformity, but of course can not
marry her.
When Anne and Walter return to
their home. Anne decide* thnt In spite
of Walter's past wickedness she will
“he a good wife to Walter.” How?
Why, by keeping hls house, regulating
everything In her own superior way,
regulating hls friends, and Incidentally
having nothing whatever to do with
Walter as her husband. In other
words, she acts ns hls housekeeper.
Walter Is naturally distressed. He goes
to Edle for advice and as Walter and
Edle both understand Anne and realise
that Anrfe Is trying to live up to some-
thing beyond her and everybody else,
the discussions between brother and
sister on this and all other subjects
were quite candid and open. Edle tries
to cheer up Walter, who assumes from
what Edle said, that she believed that
In spite of all of Anne's peculiarities
and goodness, which was personified
by a cold disdain, Anne loved him.
Then," said Majendle, "you can’t get
out of It, she's In love with me." "Oh,
bo. no; you dear goose, not with you.
To he in lovo with you she'd have to be
In love with everything you’re not as
well «s everything you are; with ev
erything you have been, with every
thing you never were, with everything
you will be, everything you might be,
could be—should be.”
"That's a large order, Edle."
'There's a larger one than that. She
might sweep all that overboard, see It
go by whole pieces (the best pieces) at
a time and still be in love with the
dear Incomprehensible, indescribable
you. That," said Edle, triumphant In
" ls what being In love 1*-"
The struggle goes on quietly, but
most distastefully to Walter, for years,
and there Is born to Walter and Anne a
young daughter, Just before Edle's
death. Walter Is allowed around the
house and Is also permitted occaslonal-
'V to »P*ak to hls child, but that Is
about all. He Is a very useless piece
of furniture, not even ornamental in
Anne s eyes. Then Edie dies and soon
after that the child died, and Walter Is
struggling still against the Ice wall of
self-superiority and holiness shown by
Anne, and then the Inevitable happens.
In fact, It began to happen three years
before the death of the young child.
Walter, finding no comfort or happi
ness at home and denied the love of
wife and child, he finds It eisewhere In
another home, with another woman,
but he Is still passionately In love with
Anne. And Miss Sinclair In her deli
cate, yet virile, treatment of this situ
ation of two "menages" Is remarkably
fine. We understand exactly how Wal
ter feel* and we also get a good light on
Anne, because all of us have our
"Annes" In real life with whom wo
come In contact. After the death of
the child Walter leaves the "other
woman,” Anne Just at this time discov
ering the facts regarding the "other"
woman, and believing Walter has only
responded to a "call of the’wild," she
leaves him. After a few weeks Anne
comes home; Walter and Anne have It
out all over again between them. Anno
tells Walter untruthfully that he had
been the cause of hls child's death. The
cord then breaks with Walter; he for
the first time In hls life takes on t<di
much liquor; goes off on a yacht with n
party, and at a summer resort has n
stroke of paralysis. Anne comes;
told that Waller's attack la from
sudden shock recently received, which
shock she properly Interprets to mean
the false Information given Walter
about the cause of hls child's death.
Walter recovers hls health and Anne,
through her mental suffering, changes
entirely from a good (?) woman to a
loving woman, and these two go back
to their home to begin nil over again,
after nine years of misery for Walter—
to lovo and to understand each other.
If It would not bo considered somewhat
Inconsiderate, It could be stated that
right at the end of the book Miss Sin
clair strikes her first and only false
note. And that Is simply in the "happy
ending."
We all know that under stress of
certain circumstances people change
from good to bed or vice versa—for
the time being—but human experience
undoubtedly teaches that this change Is
only temporary. The point attempted
to be made In this review simply la that
Anne Majendle was Anne Majendle
and would be the same Anne—chang
ing temporarily possibly, ns she did
once before In the book—but through
her life she would be the same wom
an that she was born. If this could be
cnlled a false note—It surely la the only
one, for no book of recent years so
clearly brings out the points and In so
fascinating and Interesting a way ns
docs 'The Helpmate." One of the
greatest pleasures of conscientious re
viewers can have Is to recommend a
good book. "The Helpmate” Is one and
of a most superior order. Miss Hln-
clalr no doubt meant In her title to the
book to bring out what Walter's wife
should have been; but she was not
"The Helpmate." Edle was tho only
helpmate. Some reviewer of this
charming book has said that the pus-
sle was to find the helpmate. No such
thing! It Is simply a wonderful dis
sertation on the hard and Implacable
nature of a good woman. Miss Sin
clalr has written one of the most note
ble books of recent years, one that I

exacting literary critics of the country.
opens—cause of hls death d drunken
debauch In New York city. Helen be
lieves that Carson Dwight had been to
a great extent responsible^ for her
brother's manner of life and t(! the end
—hlh death. Therefore while she loves
Carson, she refuses to admit it, either
to punish Cnrson or herself, or to make
trouble generally by attempting to
reach "heights” upon which she no
doubt would have been herself un
comfortable and have made everyone
else so. Tills reviewer, not being in-,
formed on the subject, by tho book, de
clines to say what her Intentions real-
has been away from Georgia for some
time, as he lives now In the East, and
It Is rather difficult for an exile to
remember all of the old points or kno’
of the new customs In one’s old home.
But Mr. Harben does come back to us
on short visits and remains tong
enough among us to know that wo
have, outside of the United State*
courts, no “district attorneys" In Geor
gia, to which he markes "Bill Gamer,"
In "Mam' Linda," often refer. But Mr.
Harbcn’s story Is so full of other “lo
cal color," sq true to most of the things
of north Georgia, that hls not allowing
Georgia "swells” to wear dress suits
In the late year of 1908 will he for
given him. If ho won't do It again. The
author’s treatment of the negro ques
tion from a Southern point of view Is
not only very Interesting and thrilling,
but It Is also Instructive. "Mam* Lin
da" is the best book Mr. Harben has
ly were; the reader must decide for written, and he has given us some very

Will N, Harben. Hls latest work,
'Mam' Linda,” from the press of Har
per A Bros., Is Just as delightful, Just
as entertaining and more thrilling thnn
any other of hls previous books. "Mam'
Linda" Is a swift moving and dramatic
tale of life In Georgia (nor "Georgian
life,” as the publishers put It). In this
story Mr. Harben treats the ever pres
ent and Inoxhaustlble negro question
from a point of view quite new, and he
does It with a full measure of loyal
Southern feeling. This latter treat
ment was only to be expected from Mr.
Harben.

himself. "Mam’ Linda” was Helen
Warren’s old negro "mammy,” whose
worthless son gets Into trouble. For
love of Helen and knowing her affec
tlon for her old "mammy.” Carson
Dwight assumes the serious task of de
fending "Mam' Linda's” son with great
danger of ruining, hls political chances.
Carson Dwight was running for the leg
Islature. The whole story then hinge:
around Carson Dwight's love for Helen
Warren, who Is being vigorously pur
sued by a rich rival from Augusta;
Carson's defense of the negro Pete
hls struggles against hls political op
ponent, Wiggins, and descriptions of
the fine young men of Darley, who
stand by Carson In all of hls troubles
and he certainly had more than hls
share. Our old friend Pole Baker, It Is
a pleasure to state, comes In, and as
of old, straightens out matters when
ever they become too Intricate for the
"city folks." Pol* Baker Is the best
character In the book, and next to him,
old Bill Garner, the law partner of Car-
son, stands out strongest. Bill Garner
strongly reminds an Atlanta reader of
one splendid criminal lawyer who for
merly lived In Dalton. 0a.. and who
afterward came to Atlanta to reside.
As In a great many books, through the
author's attempts to make hls hero a
king among men and hls herolno queen,
he unwittingly brings to ths front the
so-called minor characters and so It Is
In "Mam’ Linda," for with all of the
glamor of romance cast about Carson
and Helen by Mr. Harben, it Is the
minor characters In tho book who real
ly stand out. "Mam’ Linda" Is a splen
did picture of the old Southern "mam
my" of which we only have a few—far
too few—left. Mr. Harben makes
"Mam’ Linda" very real and very much
alive. When he brings out her child
Ish demands upon her "white folks'
and her devotion to them, but with It
all expecting, demanding and getting
assistance from them dll the time,
"Mam' Linda" Is made true to South,
em life. The negro boy Pete was ar
rested, almost lynched once or twice,
but rescued by Carson Dwight and hls
good friends. Of course In the end Car-
son and Helen "find themselves," as all
books'of these day* will have It.
"Mam’ Linda" ls the most Interesting
of all of Mr. Harben’s novels, and In
this book the author hns lost none of
hls great power of successfully define
sting Georgia people and Georgia life.
The period during which the story Is
supposed to occur Is soon after the
Atlanta riots of September, 1906, when
both races all over the South ami espe.
dally near the "seat of war” were np'
prehenslve of further trouble, so that
Carson Dwight's defense of the negro
Pete was considered by many people
more than untimely, certainly
Mjewed from a political standpoint.
As In all of hls other books, Mr.
Harben writes very Interestingly of a
small town In north Georgia, called
"Darley." which readers understand' to
mean Mr. Harben'* old home town—
Dalton, Ga. ■The author, however, Is
slightly unkind to the "swells" of "Dsr-
ley" when In hls book, during the fall
of 1906, at a dance at the principal club
there, the fact Is noted that most of
the young men of the club have, for
the first'time, worn dress suits, and
this fact Is pointedly remnrked upon.
If we are correct In assuming "Dar-
ley" to be Dalton, Ga., there Is a wager
awaiting Mr. Harben that ho Is far
swells

“TO HIM THAT HATH," by Leroy
Scott. (Doubleday, Page & Co.)
the reader can-arrive at that condition
of mind In which he can appreciate
a superlative degree of self-sacrifice,
so far expressed as to enable the hero
of a story to remain In prison for four
years so as to protect from suffering
—not ths friend himself, but the name
of a dead friend—then "To Him That
Hath" will be found very Interesting.
For the story Is well told; the char
acters, generally speaking, are fairly
well drawn, and there are many scenes
of genuine humor and pathos..
The story runs around the fact that
David Aldrich. Investigating the pa peri
of hls recently deceased friend, Rev.
Philip Morton, discovers the sad fact
that Instead of the Rev. Morton hav
ing been, as all of hls parishioner*
thought him, a true, superior minis
ter of the Gospel, he had once upon a
time been entangled with a notorlobs
woman. This time had been quite far
back, but Morton had written "let
ters" to Lillian Drew ("What fools
these mortals be!") and he could not
recover them. Therefore, Lillian black
mailed Rev. Mr. Morton. Morton hav-
Ing no money, tnkes from the church's
funds >5,000, .which In Installments he
B iys to the wicked woman. Lillian
rew, to close her mouth (which was
quite a pretty one. so the book says).
Now, when Rev. Mr. Morton dies on
the very day he receives a further
demand from Lillian for more money,
David Aldrich, Morton's best friend,
arrives on the scene to pay hls last
tribute to hls dead friend, and Inci
dentally to get himself Into a world of
trouble and (some sensible readers wifi
add) to play the fool martyr act. The
trustees of Morton's church, of course,
after the latter's death, discover this
85,000 shortage. At this point enters
David, who says to the trustees In so
many words, that Morton had lived
and died a good men, but that he
(David) had stolen the money. How
David arrived at this condition of mind
necessary for him to falsely accuse
himself of theft 1* explained, or so
attempted, by tho author In -that Da
vid believed by assuming this dishon
or he kept intact the grant work that
Morton had done among the poor In hls
(Morton's) parish. Aldrich argued to
himself that If the poor people had
now their Ideal * shattered—If It Here
proven that Instead of Morton (their
minister and friend) having been
good man he had been a hypocrlt)
all of the good work of Morton's min
istry would be swept away. Thus
David Aldrich assumes for himself
Morton'S dishonor. David Iq sent to
irlson for four long weary years, los-
ng thereby hls sweetheart and every
thing else In life worth striving for.
The strength of any book and Its
worth'are baaed principally, when
viewed as to Its character drawing,
upon the Impression made In the read
er's mind as to whether a character so
drawn would In real fife do the things,
think the thoughts and act generally as
the author so represents him. In "To
Him That Hath" the only question
for the render to decide Is w hether a
man who In some Instances—many—
was unutterably weak. In others Im
possibly strong—would have done Ihe
things that are accredited to David
Aldrich. If the reader can agree with
the author that David Aldrich was a

real man. RlmilAr to many or few In
real life, then the reader will be able
to eecure from a perusal of "To Him
That Hath*’ quite a lot of pleasure.
But the reader In question trill be
compelled to thoroughly accept the
author's word for David, otherwise hls
pleasure will be destroyed many times
In hls reading, simply because the
reader at the psychological moment (of
which there were many) was not In
possession of a good, strong ax with
which to severely knock David In the
head and disgustedly leave him for all
time.
David Aldrich rehialns In prison four
years. After hls release the book tells
of hls sad experiences In trying to find
work, of hls many disappointments and
of hls final success when hls sweetheart
of days gone by, still true to him, Joins
David to begin life all over again. The
descriptions of the East Side of*New
York are very good; the characters
shown In that part of the book, as well
ns those of the "upper classes,” are ex
cellent also, but It only rests with tho
reader ns to whether he can enjoy the
book by grasping, If It Is possible, the
author's "atmosphere.” There may be
people In life similar to those drawn In
'To Him That Hath,” and possibly the
world would be better If there were
more of them. That, however. Is a
debatable question. But tho only real
olive character In the book Is the
"Mayor of Avenue A,” a new figure In
Action, who Is well worth the time
spent In making hls acquaintance. j
