(Harper Bros., Publisher), Cole Book Co., Atlanta, Price $1.20. The appearance of a new book by Mrs. Humphry Ward is always eagerly welcomed by her American readers, for she has found her most ardent ad mirers in this country. There can be little question that Mrs. Ward is one of the very few contemporary novelists whose work will endure and who can be considered very nearly on a. parity with her great countrywoman, George Eliot. Yet no comparison between these two writers could ever be attempted because of the entirely different trend of thought displayed in the works of noth. As is well known, Mrs. Yard’s earliest efforts in a literary way have all been somewhat iconoclastic in tone, and it is only within very recent years lhat she has, in a great measure, deserted the field of the philosophical novel for that of the semi-realistic one. Tn her latest effort, “Fenwick’s Career,” the reader is reminded in “A Prefatory Word” that “the story owes something to the past in its picturing of the present” and in the development of “Fenwick’s Career” the life story of the great English artist, Romney, is forcibly recalled to the mind of the reader. Tn fact, frequent reference is made to this fact in the body of the book itself. “John Fenwick,” like Romney, is an artist of great power, who is hampered by poverty and lack of opportunity, as well as the additional handicap of a wife and child. The chance for a season in London comes to him through a fortuitous loan, and despite his affection for his wife, he leaves her and her baby girl in a lonely cottage in wild Westmoreland and goes to London to “try his fortune.” Meeting with a wealthy patron of art who, accidentally treats the artist to a diatribe against matrimony, Fenwick fails to admit that he has a wife, or that she is*the subject of his great pic ture. On being asked, “Who is your model?” he replies, “A Westmoreland type,” and thus begins the long train of concealment, which eventually brings the artist, his wife and his friends to great straits. Mrs. Fenwick is patient but passionate, and on hearing that her husband is posing as an unmarried man, she goes to London, finds his studio empty save for a picture of a beautiful woman before which the lamps are lighted as though a shrine. She has heard of this woman before, and knows she is the daughter of her husband’s rich patron, Lord Findon. She does not know, however, that Madame de Pastourelles has a husband living, nor does she know or could she understand the purely intellectual character of the friendship between Fenwick and Madame de Pastourelles. Thinking of Romney, and his guilty friendship for the beautiful Lady Hamilton, Mrs. Fenwick decides to leave her husband and to take her child with her. This visit to London is dramatically timed just on the eve of Fenwick’s first great success, and it so happens that his heart has turned suddenly and tenderly toward his wife. But her disappearance is complete, and despite his efforts to find her, twelve years elapse before any trace of her is seen. And it is during this interval that the reader is brought into contact with the character of Madame de Pastourelles, a character almost superhuman in its perfections, and yet very human in its cravings for some sort of happiness. Possibly Madame de Pas tourelles will linger in the' reader’s mind long after every other character in the somewhat disappointing story has faded away. Fenwick is too weak, too irrational, to command much interest or any regard; Mrs. Fenwick is also somehow “out of drawing;” not a weak character, but not strong enough for the wife of an erratic man of genius. She returns, however, to her husband just at the crucial time when he is about to take his own life—Madame de Pastourelles visits him at his studio to bring him news of his wife and dis covers the situation from which she rescues him. Her own husband had died a year before this climax, and for a few months she had allowed herself to drift into a close relation to Fenwick before she knew of his marriage. Her attitude throughout the story is commendable in every respect, though just a trifle “too rare and good for human nature’s daily food.” There is an ap parent effort to impress the reader with Madame de Pastonrelle’s perfections, and this is ever a fatal mistake on the part of a writer. The story ends with a general reconciliation between husband and wife, and more than a hint of the “living happy ever after” note. Its general motive is not plain, unless it be to emphasize the fact that an artist should never marry a woman of his own class who is most liable to misunderstand him, but that he should wait until his genius brings him into contact with a higher and perhaps better class of woman who will be to him an inspiration as well as a wife and a help meet. There is no trace of the power displayed in many of Mrs.. Ward’s earlier books, but there is one significant item not to be overlooked. There is a “lit tle rift within the lute” of Mrs. Ward’s almost invariably agnostic philoso phy, for in “Fenwick’s Career” several of the most important characters are shown to have deep reliance on religious faith. Madame de Pastourelles goes regularly to some chapel service, “which soothes and strengthens,” and Fenwick himself prays “to a personal God” eagerly and abjectly in the most difficult parts of his life. We wonder if this means a “change of heart” on the part of Mrs. Ward herself? S. T. D. The Golden Age for June 7, 1906. FRECKLES AND PIMPLES REMOVED In Ten Days.
