Every Article Guaranteed. ‘BOOK REVIEWS From an Unbiased Viewpoint. By A. E. RAMS A UR. “LADY BALTIMORE.” By Owen Wister. Curtie Publishing Company. If the reader is willing to gather only a pure tint of local color from the pages of a novel and to utterly disregard the plot, then “Lady Baltimore” may be said to be a decided literary success. The writer, Owen Wister, spent several months in Charleston, S. C., during the winter and spring of 1902, nad became so thoroughly enamoured with the life there that he has really reproduced it with startling fidelity—so startling that the residents of that typical and somewhat provincial Southern city, actually fixed the individuals portrayed in “Lady Baltimore,” and waited eagerly from week to week to see if the story would develop actual events. But the plot of “Lady Balti more” developed along the most nebulous lines for so undecided was it and curiously amorphous- in form that the reader remembers only the word pictures of the city and of the people while forgetting the events of the nar rative. The effect is like a pantomime where the magical stage setting compensates for the wordless show of the actors. The disguise is so thinly transparent that even the name of town in the story is but slightly paraphrased—“Kingsport” being used instead of Charleston, while the streets are also designated by names similar in mean ing to those in the real city. A feature of the story, or rather of its setting, is a most exquisite description of the great annual azalea display that is seen near Charleston in the spring time—these blossoms are of the most rare and perfect varie ties and Mr. Wister says of them: “It was not like seeing flowers at all; it was as if there, in the heart of the wild and mystic wood, in the gray gloom of those trees veiled and muffled in their long webs and skeins of hanging moss, a great flame of rose and red and white burned steadily. You looked to see it- vanish; you could not imagine such a thing could stay. All idea of individual petals or species was swept away in this glowing maze of splendor, this transparent labyrinth of rose and red and white, through which you looked beyond into the gray gloom of the hanging moss and the depths of the wild forest trees.” There can be no question of the force of “Lady Baltimore” as an exponent of life in a Southern city of unusual characteristics, and although we can forgive the introduction of the unnatural characters, the heavy dialogues and the generally depressing and tiresome trend of the story itself, we cannot but regret the loss of Mr. Wister’s magic touch as shown in the “Virginian,” and to wonder what heights he might have reached had any single character in “Lady Baltimore” been infused with the life he can give to the creatures of his pen. If he had only left out the element of fiction and just written a sketch of Charleston how much more he would have con tributed to our contemporary literature of the South! “NO. 101.” By Wymond Carey. G. P. Putnam ”s Sons, New York and London. “No. 101” is the name or cipher used by a mysterious French spy or traitor who furnished information to the English relative to the movements of the French Government during the reign of Louis XV. The action of the story is mostly in Paris and Versailles, having to do with the life of the French Court and the intrigues of the courtiers and hangers-on at Court. There is a strong chapter devoted to the triumph of the French arms at Fontenoy, though the most interesting feature is a life-like portrayal of Madame Pompadour and her struggle to a position of power behind the throne. The book is well written and deserves mention as one that will afford some profit as well as pleasure when read for entertainment. There is an attractive love story which winds up with the proper kind of ’’lived happy ever after” ending, and we have no complaint to make with the general termination of the plot and the actors therein; though at times we confess to a desire that D’Artagnan might have been present to take a hand in removing a villain or two. The fact that this desire was aroused may be set down to the story’s credit. It is well told and in the language used upon an occasion by Abraham Lincoln, is “a book that ax ill be liked by those who like that kind of book.” A Few Shoots of Young Ideas. The moving of the juvenile mind and some of its processes are dark and past finding out. A compilation of the answers made in some of the public school examinations make us wonder at the wealth of misinformation some children can acquire at an early age. Following are a few answers actually given in an examination in Geography by fourth grade pupils in a Georgia city: 1. Where are the Rocky Mountains? In what direction do they extend? Answer. The Rocky Mountains is in the Southern part of South America. It flows south. 2. Where are the Great Lakes? How many are there and by what are they drained ? The Golden Age for April 19, 1906.
