m P THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, JULY «, 1$07- new books and their makers Reviewed By Arthur Pendennis, Junior “SUSAN," by Ernest Oldmeadow. ,, \\- Luce A Co.) n-D were told In numerous advertise. 0 f those enterprising publishers, 5\v Luce * Co., that "Susan," by -Mr. Ernest Oldmeadow, had made a most -lorlous "hit" In England and that f htrf hod been something of a scram- tl, among American publishers as to who should have the pleaeuro (and profltj of Introducing “Susan" In this C °“Susan" was worth the scramble. She and her friends in Mr. Oldmead- cn-s charming book were worth all of •he trouble they may or may not have rtuwd. At any rate. It is a great pleas. to meet "Susan." She Is first rate company, and first rate company Is (an j it should be) always at a pre- n ' l The story is told in the form of a diary. Not by "Susan," but. by her employer. “Susan" Is a young lady's maid Through mistaken identity, Su san receives a soul-racking love-letter pom Lord Ruddlngton. The young lard had mistaken Susan for her mIs- trtsa and vice versa, hence the trouble. The charming. lovely mistress writes the letters during the month of ah- ernce to test the lover's heart Of course the young mistress and the hero In time fall in love with. each other and Pusan marries her first and only l„ve the groom. "Gibson." This Is the one old plot, unfailingly used, but It |. the author's delightful Interpreta tion of It. that fulfills the publisher's promise to prospective readers. The reader will forgive the old plot be cause he or she wlj] forget all about it as hU heart becomes entangled in the soul strings of the two eharmlng char acters portrayed. "Susan" Is really the background of the story. She cer tainly succeeds very well In that—and her ridiculous struggles between her lore for Gibson and her desire to be Lady Ruddlngton when she Is under the Impression that the letters from Ruddlngton are really meant for her— Is very nmuslng and diverting. There ere many books In which the plot cen ters around two people who fall In love With each other through the cor respondence of others, but there are not many that will excel "Susan." The book Is really fascinating—It even overcomes the prejudice that many readers have against stories told as a diarv and when a reviewer can truth fully state that such Is a fact, he about covers the whole matter. Lord Ruddlngton and Susan's mis tress find each other's hearts and the denouement of the story to charmingly portraved. We will all have to believe j. \v. Luce & Co.’s advertisements. If they continue to live up to their prom ises In the future as they did about "Susan." "Susan" Is very alluring, and It Is a pleasure to know her. THOMAS NELSON PAGE. "Piero Della Francesca(?) Un known Lady. Milam, XII, Illus tration from "Studies in Pictures." “THE PRINCESS AND THE PLOUGHMAN,” by Florence Morse Kingsley. (Hurper & Bros.) The working out of the love theme in “The Princess and the Ploughman" Is a little unusual—out of tho ordi nary—and certainly a trifle old-fash ioned. That Is to say the love story works Itself out on the old (now ex ploded) theory that "Abeertce makes the heart grow fonder." Present day readers know that absence makes the heart grow fonder—(all right—all right)—but. If not always, usually of the other" or wrong fellow—certain ly not of the on© absent. But In “The Princess and the Ploughman," what ever may be the manipulations of the plot—the work Is well done. If a little untrue to life. Mary Adams Is an heiress to a lot of money. If she-will marry before she passes her 23d year (It would be unkind to say whether this age of "23" was used advisedly). At any rate, Mary will lose this legacy unless she marries by the time stipu lated In the will, but being one of those girls (Mr. Gelett Burgess styles them "Bromides") who Always Inform everybody "Oh, no; I never Intend to marry’’—she Is In quite a quandary. Mary thinks that she loves her school girl friend and that she (Mary) will neVer love any man—every reader knows (with Incident disgust) that species—which invariably end In mar rying the wrong man. But Mary wunts to get hold of her legacy to use It In building a school for tho children of the rich In the Hawaiian Islands or something of that kind—her only stip ulation as to Its use being that she will always be with her achool girl friend, Felice Vivian, of which pro posed arrangement the sensible Felice grows very tired—even In anticipa tion. Hugh Ghent, a young farmer, living hear the home of tho Vivians, where Mary Is visiting, upon being approached by her, agrees to assist Mary out of her dilemma, that Is to say, lie will marry her in name only, Mary can get the money to build her school or orphan asylum or any old thing and thus the matter was ar ranged. Hugh loves Mary and he ab surdly Imagines that the few talks which he had had before the ceremony with Mary, would after she had left him, cause her to fall In love with him. Of course the book turns out that way, [for the author had the making of the plot and could do as he desired with her puppets, but It Is a safe propost tlon to say thbt there are not many young men In love with their sweet- hearta (even as much oa was Hugh with Mary) who would have been will ing to marry a girl and expect to teach her to love him through tho "absent treatment." It Is also generally a safe proposition to state that there are pot many, If any such lovers In the "old red hills of Georgia." Down in Dixie the men only need but thoroughly use all of tlie time, devotion and constant attention, to accomplish anything at all In the love line, so that Miss Kings ley's Idea of love making It at least very unique In Its strangeness and In terest. Mary Adams was a very un usual girl (It Is pleasant to know that she was unusual). Hugh Ghent was a big, strong, healthy "muff." but at- Irctlve In spite of all of that. The au thor of the “Princess and the Plough man'’ taking these two abnormal people out of unreal life has made a very charming book. The style of the au thor le very pleasing—the book Is at tractively written, and the character drawing Is very good Indeed. The reader can not expect to always find personalities presented for his delecta tion which will please through their mental attainments (even of common semis), but with the characters in her too much "preaching." She la rather I dall and her friends and her Influence pedantic In her usa of Norse terms, the discovery of America Is rather tawdry and her characters are too oft en verbose. She may expect some un feeling criticism of her first work, but In spite of It all, she has sent forth a splendid piece of work, of which she may b« Justly proud. NEW CHRONIcTeS OF REBECCA. By Kate Douglas Wtggln. (Houghton, Mifflin A Co.) The late Thomas Balfey Aldrich said In speaking of "Rebecca of Sunny- brooke Farm" that. "Rebecca la Just the nicest child In American literature." "New Chronicles of Rebecca" are Just additional stories of fascinating Rebec ca, after she has grown up somewhat, and la more capable of taking upon her shoulders the weight of all her bright ness and charm. In these "New Chron icles," Mrs. Wlggin tells us further about Rebecca, When at about the age of 18 years, she attends her finishing school, is the head of her. family and generally the life of her small New England home town. The render will naturally enjoy the "New Chronicles" more If he hns first rend "Rebecca of Sunnybrooke Farm." but to thoroughly enjoy the former book It Is not abso lutely necessary to have read the latter. We have just received a large ship ment of high-grade Buggies, Surreys, Runabouts, Phaetons—in fact we are showing the most complete line ever received by an Atlanta house—and will make bargain prices for the next ten days.

In returning after read ing “Studies In Pictures," a very eharmlng young woman of Atlanta said to this reviewer the other day: “Why didn't you let me read this book before I went abroad last year? I now un derstand how little I understood In the great picture galleries of Europe." The book was not loaned to the aforesaid charming young woman sim ply because the book was not published until this year. In ten chapters de voted to the study of painting—old masters' repainted and retouched pic tures, forgeries, copies, themes and workmanship of the old masters—fig ure, portrait and genre painting, the animal In art, and landscape and ma rine painting. Professor Van Dyke has written a guide book to the galleries of Europe that (os he colls It "a first word") Is Invaluable. It Is Invaluable to tourists (and to those who remain at home), who wish to attain to a degree of cultivation and to a mental attitude because of which they can ap preciate paintings and the artists. The book certainly explains many things to a visitor to the great galleries, which haa been very dark to him before. Great crowds flock to the Louvre and the Luxembourg, In Paris, take their stand In front of some splendid picture for a few minutes or ns long as their guides or “Cooks parties" will allow, then off to another, with no more hands.’Miss Kingsley has made a most L cl ?f*'! , * n n ‘ W readable book. When the reader has bool< , a11 at)0ut Rebecca Rowena Ran- found out what little there Is to know of Mary Adams and Hugh Ghent, he will surely agree with and admire the expert workmanship of the author. The book Is a very pleasing unreal love Idyl and suits this season of the year most admirably. In her little town. All of the ehort chronicles are very Interesting, and It would be difficult to say which one of these stories (for they are really eleven ehort stories) It tho most entertaining. It Is only necessary to state that Mrs. Wlggin lives up to the standard of her first book about Rebecca, and the only cause, of complaint one could posBlbly make against any of the stories, espe cially the last one, Is where Rebecca see* "Abljah, the Brave and Fair Emma Jane" united—the author only gives us a view darkly of Rebecca's final finding of herself. There Is an Intimation that Mrs. Wlggin may yet tell us that Re becca found herself through her love for Mr. Aladdin. The "New Chronicles” are very pleasing—we can not have too many stories dealing with so alluring a personality as Rebecrn. All of us hope Mrs. Wlggin will allow Mr. Alad- din to win Rebecca Rowena Randall— —In duo time. FAMILY SECRETS.. By Marlon Foster Waehburne. (The MacMillan Company.)

"Studies In Pic tures” should be taken along with any tourist party, even If the guide books, showing railway stations and fares, were left behind. The book cultivates the taste. It la delightfully written in a clear, easy style, and even It one never becomes on European tourist, we all expect to see some good pictures in our day. "Studies in Pictures" is a splendid book, and written by such an authority as Professor Van Dyko (professor of the history of art In Rutgers Colltge), his statements have deserved much weight. "THE STAR OF VALHALLA,” by Mrs. Myra Gross. ((Frederick w. Stokes <C Co.) "The Star of Valhal la." said to be the first novel written by Mrs. Myra Gross, Is an unusually difficult piece of work, very unusually well done. The author has certainly studied wall ths weird Sagas and Eddas of the North, and haa cast their subtle spell over all of her attractive story. These fierce barbaric Vikings, with their Northern superstitions, their rude chivalry, their love of plunder, their rapture for the fray, their Titanic struggles, their elementary simplicity of soul and heart, move with pointed dlrectneee through the pages of the book, with a remarkable Illusion of re. allty. The atmosphere of romance and nntlqulty is tempered with a certain historical warmth of detail and an amount of historical accuracy which la altogether pleasing. The wrltCT claims that her story Is essentially historical and that she haa simply en deavored to make those old Vikings corns to Ilfs In a setting of romance. The central theme Is the conflict be- tween in# religion of Christ and the heathenism of Odin and Thor and Frey. Tho period chosen le the reign of the first Olaf—Olaf Tryggoveson, as he l> known In Scandinavian history—in the tenth century. This old warrior, whlls he had been “converted" to the Chris tian religion, merely changed his su perstition* and had become a vassal of ths new God. In the book Olaf Is used to Illustrate ths cruel, Immoral, Intol erant character of most of the mili tant Chrinstlanlty of that era, and to throw In bold relief the true re ligion of the Christ, also tha fearful barbarism of the-Kcandlnavlan gods of their Valhalla of the North. Olaf un dertakes to Christianize the country. Iron Beard of Thrandhelm swears that the star of Valhalla shall forever shine In Norge. This contest brings upon the scene a host of characters, fasci nating In their barbaric splendor. Her ald. the beat beloved and greatest of the Vikings, on a piratical expedition to the Mediterranean carries ofT the beautiful Persea and her brother, scions of a noble Italian family, but true Christians. Haralil falls In love with Persea, who, however. Is claimed by Olaf, and the bloody contest for her wages through many chapters of treachery, sacrifice, murder, arson and slaughter.

On moral Issues, when sup posed financial Interests are Involved, we have too many men with. rubber necks, weak knees and flexible eplnal columns for the - good of humanity. Such men fall to recognise that moral obligations stand pre-eminent for real good to themselves, their children and for proper development of the human rare. ' "Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage," and so some men are will ing to sell their moral birthright for a few paltry dollars—yes, evsn the birthright of their own children, their children’s children and their neighbors children, placing humanity under an Iron-clad mortgage with an ever-in creasing ratio of Interest, at the sacri fice of morality, the lives of would-be happy children, disgracing womanhood, degrading motherhood, polluting th» homo, and all of which Is but a de struction of that which Is best In man. Any man. actuated by the true prin ciples of tho brotherhood of man, should shudder and shrink from even the thought of binding In a bondage worse than slavery Itself their children and their brother's children, and doom to destruction countless helpless. Inno cent victims yet unborn. Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or glvo me death," should be emblazoned In letters of gold on the moral con science of every man, so that future generations may not say of us, "You refused us moral liberty and now we must suffer moral and physical death.” It Is a disgrace to our boasted civili zation of moral and Intellectual devel opment to claim that we must depend upon the financial Income of licensed evil to sustain our county, municipal and state government*. It Is a direct challenge to the highest principles of morality, an open Insult to the churches and Christian people of our city and state. I resent U with every fiber of my moral being; I resent tt In behalf of the Christian religion; I re sent It as being detrimental to our moral social fabric, and deny that ths Investment In Intoxicants at bev erages to beneficial financially to tbe city of Atlanta. Such Investment Is also detrimental to tho physical moral, mental and spiritual development of her citizens and brings crime, vice and disease In Its path. It to short-sighted economy, and I am surprised that moral business men would advocate such business as a sound financial policy for tha city of Atlanta. They certainly do not ad vocate the same policy and Investment In their own Individual business. If It It a good Investment for tbe city, why does not every business house of any size have a bar and sell It out to the highest bidder or on high li cense thnt their employee* may hav* plenty to drink, so they will be able to do more efficient work?

Does any business man desire to defend the saloon? If so. we are ready, but can not go Into details In this article. In 1905 Atlanta received from whisky license $128,000, which cost the city $1,800,000 in round numbers, yet busi ness men and the city council tell us this Is a good Investment and the en lightened, moral, cultured Gate City of the Nsw South must have "bloOd money” secured by licensing evil so as to be able to maintain its city govern ment end moral standard. A proud city, boasting of Its moral supremacy— due to Its churchts, not Its saloons— bowing down In abject submission to the worst enemy of the city for a few paltry dollars of tainted money, Is a very humiliating spectacle, r,, I can not understand how the saloons and liquor bouses of Atlanta hare in creased ths moral standard of the city. If It Is true, let us be men enough to do that which Is best for the morals of the city and use every means at our com'- 1 mand to Increase the saloons and liquor houses. Heretofore the churches, pub lic schools, kindergartens, associated charities, Y. M. C.. A. etc., have been thought to b* ths moral forces of At lanta, but now w* must reverse mat ters and license die churches at high license and build up the saloons, for they are ths moral forces that save Atlanta. The Christian men and' women, the moral men and women, the public schools, the churches, the Y. M. C. A„ Associated Charities, the Juvenile court, the missionary workers can not save Atlanta; It takes saloons and liquor houses to maintain our city govern ment and moral standing. If saloons Improve the morale of At Unto, let’s have a- wide-open town, plenty of saloons, open day and night, Sundays also—ths more the merrier, the mere the better for our finances and morals, so ws learn. When Atlanta had her riot that die graced her fair name before the whale world, the mayor made a mistake In closing the saloon; he should have opened wide their doors, day and night, to secure their moral Influence and closed the doore of the churches, Y. M. A. missions, eta In behnlf of ths churches, moral forces end fair name of Atlanta, I maintain that ths saloons under low or high license are a menace to our welfare and moral development I maintain that the laws against sa loons can be enforced In accordance with the moral element of the people, and that the presence of saloons does not foster and develop that moral senti ment, hut lessen It. I maintain, without fear of successful contradiction, that law* against sa loons enn be enforced In the same ra tio or proportion as laws against steal ing. arson, murder, seduction, rape, etc. If we need money to badly to run our city government, why not license ths whole category of crime and avll or put a high license on each so as to make them more respectable and develop a monopoly of the business and aristo cratic leaders In each for ths benefit of ths moral* and finance* of ths .city? You have Just as much moral right to license one an the other, as they are all evil, and the liquor traffic produces II per cent or mere of ell the other evils end crimes. Licensing saloons does not prevent evil nor "blind tigers." We have them under low license, so will we have them under high llcenst, Increasing In pro portion to ths cost of license lessened number of saloons and tbs moral char acter of ths people of the city. Oh, for a city! A state!! A people!I! with moral backbone enough to stand solid as adamarttlnc against evil or ths licensing of evil for the sake of the almighty dollar. May the day soon come when the moral forces of the city will develop an enlightened conscience that will convince all that licensing an avll doss not make It just nor right, and that money so received carries with It a curse which tends to destroy the moral conscience of tho people. All evil to an enemy to good morals and to humanity. There Is no medium ground for evil doing: tho good of the human race and moral development foiold It. If saloons are an evil, which all of a high moral Character must admit, then they must he banished. No moral question to permanently settled until tt to settled on a basis of Justice and right, which 1s always for the best Interest of humanity and moral development of ths human race.
