L THj£ A'xLAMA (iitiUliUlAiSi AiND JN'iivVS. II 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 receiving commendation from the moat 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 — T — superior books. It deserves a great "MAM' LINDA,” by Will N. Harben. (Harper A Bros.) It ls always a pleas ure to. welcome, and better, to read, I new book from the gifted pen of Mr. 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. Carson Dwight, a very superior young gentleman of Darley (Dalton), Go., was In love with a lovely girl, Helen Warren. Helen’s brother, an In tlmate friend (naturally) of Carson’i. had died two years before the story Southern Express Co. To all points accessible by Express.

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 old town. Mr. Harben sole. “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.

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 Tin* Sunday school will here rally day exercises.
