We Solicit Your Business in All Lines of Insurance and Fidelity Bonds Arthur Pendennis Jr.'s Weekly Review of Booths ‘‘MEMOIRS OF THE COUNTESS DE BOIGNE, 1781-1814.” Edited from the original MS., by M. Charles Nlc- coullaud. (Charles Scribner's Sons.) The Gomtesse do Bolgne, nee Char lotte Louise- Elenore Adelaide d'Os- mond, born In 1781 and dying In 1866, left a manuscript of memoirs to her nephew, written as the author makes clear simply for tho pleasure of her heirs. The memoirs were so Interest ing, so full of the gossip which went the rounds of her time; thnt her heir and grand-nephew, the Marquis d’Os- mond, decided to publish them. With the assistance of M. Charles Nlccoul- Iaud, In editing these memoirs, It was found by careful reading that the Im mediate publication of the same was Impossible—“there were too many pri vate Interests and personal rights to be considered." So the publication of these memoirs was deferred until the present time, when all ot the parties named therein have gone to their final reckoning. These memoirs threw many slde-JIghts upon a long period extend ing from the reign of Louis XIV to the revolution of 1848, and this more by means of the special details wh|ch are narrated than by any generalizations from a wider outlook. In reading theze charming pages, the reader will not lose sight of the fact that the Comtesse de Bolgne had no Intention of writing a history, but wished merely to be a chronicler of the times, of the - people, and especially her set of people In Paris and London. The Comtesse de Bolgne relatee all of the gossip of her set and salon and her narrative Is marked by the freedom of the llth century speech, which Is sustained by touches of keen criticism, al though the writer claims Impartiality. These salons were numerous and their Importance are well known. Madame de Bolgne held a delightful position In Pnrislan society after her return from exile and for nearly sixty years and In her book wc see every person of im portance visiting her or belonging to the special circle over which she pre sided. Comtesse de Bolgna waa born at Versailles before the revolution and was brought up, so to speak, at the knees of the royal family, her mother being one of the ladles of Madame Adelaide, daughter of Louis XV, and her friend In her youth during exile of Princess Marie Amelte of Nnples who waa to be Duchesne d’Orleann anu queen of France. The ComtCMM** education waa completed In England, and she came back to Paris wtth n keen taste for politics, marked by a wider liberalism than was In conform ity with the emigre environment In which her parents and friends lived. It has been said that the Comtesse de Bolgne was a complete embodiment of the transition between the old and the new regime, for all opinions were wel comed In Mmc. de Bolgne's salon, and the doors were ever opened to talent and good education. Through the pages of these memoirs ,-nlk such characters of history as the rent Napoleon, Talleyrand. King Louis XVI and his family. Marie Antoinette, Lady Hamilton, Lord Nelsons friend, the Comte d'Artois, the Empress Jo sephine, Madame de Stael. Mm*. Re- camler de Chateaubriand, Emperor Alexander of Russia and his allies, etc., These memoirs having been written not with a view of making history, but simply as gossip from one friend to another, take on a charm apart from the ordinary memoirs and are very delightful and refreshing. The book Is filled with anecdotes of people (personal sides of these P««P * shown) which we fall to Und ln his tory, and which has so much to do with our understanding ot *{•* discussed. The mefnotra nave gone through many editions of preraln France and England and If *orth Is anything, there will be many editions of this charming book In this country. (red RUNNING HORSE INN.” By Al- Tressldev Sheppard. <J. B. Llp- plncott Company.) "The Running Horae Inn" Is a novel centering about an Inn located In the south of England. The period Is Just after the close of the Napoleonic wars. Is a good story, strongly written h great touches of that sort of thing called "local color." but It Is quite morose and sombre and at times quite depressing. Of course real life la depressing, and for Just this reason should depressing topics be avoided In books, especially In novels. In the prosecution of great causes such as reformation of boarding schools sanitariums of England In the du s by Charles Dickens and Charles Reade respectively, sombrenesa and morbidness can be excused, but to put this atmosphere Into a novel, showing simply disappointed love and h lot of degeneracy, It does not seem exactly the correct motive for a novelist. Mr. Sheppard's work Is good and It is Very Interesting, too, but when the reader has finished "The Running Horse Inn" he will wonder Just why the author wrote the book. If to show his great power of description—this could have been done without the morbidness be fore referriil to. In other words the power of the author might have been employed with good reason In lighter, brighter themes. Real life is far too sad to encourage any further quota of gloom without a good object In view beyond the description of an English Inn and the scenery thereabouts. The story of "The Running Horse Inn" begins Just when George Kennett, returning from his enlistment In the Napoleonic wars, reaches his old home, the Inn. to find there a celebration of the marriage of hls brother, John, to Bes* Hdnttngton, "the girl he left be hind.” and to whom George thought he was engaged to marry. This Is the 1 complication with which the author starts out hls readers. George accepts the situation, namely, ot finding hls brother married to hls sweetheart, much more philosophically than the majority of the readers of the book will think possible, but In canvassing tho matter calmly In hls mind one wll come to the conclusion that there was nothing else for poor George to do. But where George erred was In mak ing hls home at the Inn with John and Bess, and so It afterwardy was proven In the book. There Is never any room for an outsider at a perennial honey moon. Tho trouble all comes from the fact that George still loved Bess and he thought that she was forced or per suaded to marry hls brother John, when learning of hls (George's) death. As a matter of fact, George has a wrong conception of affairs for Bees really loved her husband—hence all the trouble. After making Inopportune love to Bess, George goes to London and becomes mixed up In the labor riots there, but escapes and returns to the Inn. from which he Is driven again. Leaving the Inn, after Imbibing quan tities of liquor, he sets fire to a lot of hay ricks. John Kennett, on hls way to borrow some money from a kins man, happens on the scene In time to be taken for the incendiary Instead of George, and the former, to defend him self from a large watch dog, shoots at the dog but kills Bess’ father, the own er of the hay ricks. In time, however, through falsification of witnesses, chief of whom an Bess and John, Oeorge Is convicted of killing old Huntington and Is hanged therefor. George 1s al lowed to go to hls death by John and Item, as a "good riddance." and then, loo, he would have been hung for the hay rick burning anyway. Bess and John had about concluded also that all George needed was rope enough ti complete the work unassisted by any body, although they seemed not un willing to aid In the good work. John Kennett did make a futile attempt to save George on the scaffold when the former's conscience began to worry him too much. When Bess started out to find where John had gone, she stumbled over a cliff and waa killed, John returns from the hanging of hls brother and finds hls dead wife. All mighty gloomy. Is It not, and then, too, after all. what Is the use? Mr. Shep pard has a great gift which he should devote to brighter things. The real lives of all of us have sufficient gloom without adding to It through reading morbid books. The descriptive powers of this author are unusually fine and with more cheerful subjects, there Is really no telling what he could do. For Instance, the author draws one character. Mra. Dowdy, the mother of old, good-hearted Captain Rockett, John Kennett’s friend. She Is an old woman who unconsciously expresses her thoughts of people and directly to them. This character reminds one strongly of Charles Dickens' ridicu lous character, Mr. P.'e Aunt In "Lit tle Dorrltt," who took such a dislike to Arthur Clennam. All of Mr. Shep pard's character drawing Is good and if all of us prefer brighter things with which to while away the hours and Improve ourselves It Is the fault of our mental blae and outlook, and he should take this weakness Into consideration. THE TALKING WOMAN” By May Isabel Flek. (Harper A Bros.) Mrs. May Isabel Fisk In "The Talking Woman" has brought forth a reincarna tion of "Mra. Ntckelby." In this charm ing little volume the author haa made a pleasing "Weber-Fleldlan" parody of "Nicholas Nlckelby's” mother—and It Is a good one too. Mrs. Fisk has simply Ing woman, brought her In contact with 20th century life on an ocean liner, at an afternoon call, at the theater. In the department store and In other sltua-' tlons where the eternal feminine holds forth In characteristic style. "The Talk ing Woman” does alt of the talking of course and the reader of this fascinat ing volume is permitted to hear these bright Tennyson's brookslike one-sided conversations. The author's work Is thoroughly well done. Mra. Fisk has made quite a reputation with these monologulstlc productions and "The Talking Woman” Is really made up of a collection of her "Monologues,” some of which (not all) have appeared In Har per's periodicals. The charm of the book Is that the reader will Instinctively recall to mind Just such a "talking woman" or man among hls own acquaintances or friends—the trouble being, however, that In real life the talking men and women, of thlB superlative degree, never are as entertaining as Mrs. Fisk makes her monologues. But as talking men and women, without Ideas, In real life, like Tennyson's brook are un stoppable ("unstoppable” Is about the only word that would fit here), then Mrs. Fisk's bright little volume could be sent as a text book to those human hydraullc-rnms and perpetual motion machines, with a chance of brightening the flow of words from which at times all of us suffer and unsuccessfully at tempt to dam (In both senses of the word). “EMPIRE BUILDER8,” By Francis Lynde. (Bobbs-Merrlll Co.) The au thor of the “Empire Builders" has writ ten a very entertaining book. Mr. Francis Lynde has laid the scene of hls new book (on sale the 24th ot August) out In the desert country, somewhere beyond the Rocky Mountains, beyond Denver, on toward the Nevada gold fields—Just exactly where, It really does not matter. But the scene of the story Is far enough west to successfully portray that western atmosphere of ad. venture, pure ozone, and close-to-the- ground manner of living. Mr. Lynde has written from the ground up, and hns grasped and put Into hls work that elusive western atmosphere—elusive It must be to judge by the numerous pseudo-western stories that are con tinually thrust upon a helpless reading public. The "Empire Builders" Is a story laid around the struggles of a superin tendent of a branch line of railway, somewhere west of Denver. Mr. Stuart Ford Is the superintendent In question and he has some very ambitious schemes In hls head—the putting in practice nf which causes the whole trouble and plot of the story. Ford while In charge of this branch line, which Is unproductive—as to earn ings—works out a scheme to make It a paying Investment to the New York board of directors. General Manager North at Denver does not approve of Ford's schemes, nor even of Ford him self, so the latter goes over North’s head to the board of directors In New York. After a fight In the board room. Ford Is appointed assistant to the pres. Idcnt—being thus put over General Manager North’s head (quite an unusu al proceeding In real life) and the young man begins the carrying out of hls business schemes. The whole book treats of Ford’s work—the reconstruc tion of this short line he first had In charge and an extension of the main Une—also the purchase of a line of railway Into Chicago. General Mana ger North does all possible to hinder Ford's work—he conspires secretly with the contractors on the extension to place In a bad light before the board' of dlrectora all of Ford’s work, and generally, causes the latter a great deal of trouble. Oh, yes—there la a love story In‘the book, for where could a novel without the "heart Interest” find a publisher or readers? Echo does not answer. On hls first trip to New York, when he goes over the bend of hls business su perior, Mr. North, to see the dlrectora, Mr. Htunrt Ford meets on the train n charming young woman (she was a beauty, the book says, but the Illustra tions therein deny that statement). In passing Into the dining car, Ford ac cidentally knocks the young woman's purse, with all her money, out of the vestibule. What Is the poor glr| to do? Simply accept Ford's Invitation to dine with him. She does and as It happens (In books anyway) that this charming lovely fctri waa the favorite niece of the president of Ford’s railway. Ford of course does mft know this—does not In fact learn tha young lady's name, after riding all day. In the same seat you think of the mental qualifications of an acquaintance or friends of vours who rode all day with a pretty woman and never found out her name? Cer tainly that this young man was not a bright creature, and yet ho was able to circumvent villains, build railroads, In face of almost Insurmountable obsta cles; win over all the employees on the line of railway; buy a gold mine of wonderful hidden values and after wards win the girl; whose name he failed to discover at first meeting. Ford does all of this. He does more, he out wits General Manager North, all of the contractors—the man sent to kill him—has a siege of himself and friends In a private car. about to be dynamited (saved Just at the right moment) and comes out of the book with hls bride— the successful railroad builder and love-maker. It Just shows that a bad beginning does not always mean a bad ending. Mr. Francis Lynde writes aa one who has lived In the west, witnessed the construction of actual railroads and the greatest charm about hls new book Is the sure-enough realism which he puts therein. It Is a very Interesting book and way ahead of the usual western story, of which readers have had re- cently more than their full share. "SEVENTY YEAR8 YOUNG,” By Emily M. Bishop. (B. W. Heubsch). In the reviews of this week, Arthur Pendennis, Jr., speaks of books while not to be avoided, on the contrary— but which are depressing and gloom pervadera, It Is quite an unusual plea—sure to direct attention to a smnll volume called "Seventy Years Young,” written by Emily M. Bishop. There are far too few pages to this book, but what there are gratify the reader In Its delightful cheerfulness and the wholesomeness of Its tone. "Seventy Years Young” Is simply an argument against growing old. Great room for argument there. Some Western ed itorial writer In hls columns some time ago said that the trouble about hls town was "there were too many 'dead onea' walking around the streets," and that there should be a wholesale fu neral and Incidental visit to the cem etery. In "Seventy Years Young" Is presented the other and much more optimistic view of the question. "It Is better to be seventy years young than forty years old,” as Mr. Oliver Wendell Holmes put It correctly, that the author takes for her theme, nnd she lives right up to It entirely through her charming book. The author ridi cules "old age bugaboos"—time-ex pired men and women—tells us to keep out of the ruts of old age—out of so cial. domestic and "thinking and feel ing" ruts and the delightful part about all of what the author says, Is. that she proves It. It will do anybody good to read "Seventy Years Young." There is one young man In Atlanta who thinks the book so charming that he Is going to send It to a dear young lady of seventy-five winters, likewise sum mers, who today living In Alabama, In a dear old town on the Chatta hoochee river, radiates brightness and good cheer upon all who are fortu nate enough to know and love her. And so she should, and does, for she Is the youngest person In heart and soul In her town and state. Long may she live and all her kind.
