The Immortal Moment, by May Sin
clair. New York; Doubleday, Page
Ir’d Company. Price, $1.50.
'I he author of “The. Divine Fire,”
and "The Helpmate,” always makes
her characters humanly convincing,
but Iff reading her books one is more
impressed by the "Idea" than by tha
men and women themselves. In
other words, it is some principal she
would make clear, and so the char
acters seem created to serve in the
matter of elucidation. Because her
ideas are always worthy ot the clos
est at'entlon, and because more fro
quently than not they furnish en- 1
tirely new food for thought, her
books are far more worthy of admi
ration than are many through the
medium of which one only becomes
acquainted with a group of clever
people or learns an interesting story.
“The Immortal Moment" is prob
ably the most attention-compelling
book Miss Sinclair has yet written,
altough it is shorter less complex
and possibly not so finished as either
of the other books that have made
her famous. It is the story of a
real love and of its marvellous ef
fect upon a woman who has sinned
much but who rises to superb spirit
ual heights by courageously grasping
the opportunity offered by her one
immortal moment. The situation is
a tremendous one as handled by this
master hand, the marvelous psychol
ogical insight displayed being as re
markable as the intrinsic dramatic
power.
Kitty Tailleur, whose tragedy is
related here, is a splendid character
ization, but with no less skill are
painted the portraits of the other
men and women in the small ♦roup
surrounding her, all of whom are
none the less real because in each
we have the personification of some
vice or virtue that makes for the
weal or woe of such women as the
ill-starred but beautiful and fascina 1 -
ing Kitty.
The Great Miss Driver, by Anthony
Hope. New York; The McClure
Company. Price, $1.50.
There are some who prefer An
thony Hope in his “Prisoner of Zen
ds" style and others again who con
sider him at his happy best in such
books as "Tristram of Blent.” The
latter will care more especially for
"The Great Miss Driver” which is
a novel of modern England dealing
with probabilities that Mr. Hope's
skill makes actualities.
Fascinating as may be the Flavias
of the author's more fanciful moods,
they cannot compare with such a
character as that of Miss Driver who
lives and moves and has her being
, in a sphere of life where she might
bet met any day by any one of a
certain number of those who read of
her triumphant career as a rich
man’s daughter with ideas of her
own to which she makes those about
her subservient. It is generally the
nra'p characters in novels that, the
meif writers make mighty in mental
force, and so Anthony Hope deserves
great credit for allowing his fairness
to supersede his loyalty to his sex to
the extent of proving that a woman
can achieve a mastery as remark
able as that, ever attained by any
man, a fairness that has made him
Women, Their Work And Worries in The Wavs Of The World.
Why Men Don't cMarry.
Tho statistician who is always on
the lookout for facts pleasant and
unpleasant to prove or disprove a de
sirable or most undesirable Btate of
affairs tells us that of the men who
were graduated from our leading uni
versities twenty years ago fully a
fourth of them are still unmarried.
Naturally, everybody has a reason
to offer for this deplorable state of
affairs, and most of them Dlame the
women, just as the poor women have
been blamed for everything since the
days when the Garden of Eden was
the social center. The general tone
is that of the contributor to one of
our contemporaries, who, in that por
tion of the paper devoted to voluntary
correspondence, writes:
Will you allow an old subscriber
to thank you for that beautiful tribute
to the ‘trundle bed” in your issue of

among the college graduates;
go so surprisingly far as to also ad
mit that Miss Driver's triumph was
due not so much to her money or her
woman's wiles as to her superior wit,
a veritable triumph for all woman
kind to whom so generally is denied
the credit for any wepons except
those of beauty or weakness.
From first to last the story of Jen
ny Driver is an interesting one,
more especially as it is also the story
of a man of gigantic strength and
pitiable weakness who helps to make
or mar. according to the point-of
view, the life of the woman Who en

idea back of the rather unusual plot
is bound to cause discussion, and it
is safe to say that approval and dis
approval will be about equally meter

Lynch’s Daughter, by Leonard Mer
rick. New York. The McClure
Company. Price 1.50.
Books have been written by the
score telling how women’s lives have
been wrecked for the lack of money
or the greed for it, hut it has remain
ed for Mr. Merrick to tell us how
the possession of millions came peril
ously near to spoiling forever one
woman's life. Unfortunately, these
particular millions are tainted, so
tainted that the man who loves the
millionaire’s daughter cannot consent
to accept any part of them even
though not to do so threatens to de
prive him of all that he holds most
dear. Finally the woman's love for
the man prevails, and she consents
to live on her lover’s very limited
income. Born to a regal luxury, nev
er having been taught to know the
value of a dollar, poverty becomes,
soon after their marriage, a condi
tion unendurable in the extreme, es
pecially when she realizes that some
small portion of her father’s bound
less wealth would serve to get every
thing so sadly needed for the preser
vation of the life_ and health of her
only child. The strained situation
becomes an impossible one, but how
It is met by both the man and the
woman we must leave to the author
to tell. He tells it so well, by-the
way, that he has made of the story
of “Lynch’s Daughter” one of the
most at ten Ri on-compelling books of
the day.
Why the Chimes Rang, by Raymond
Macdonald Alden. Indianapolis.
The Bobbs-Merrill Company.
At last we have found the one per
fect, the only ideal book for chil
dren.
It is unquestionably true that chil
dren like to he entertained according
to the world-old methods of surprise
and fun, but it is also true —oniy this
is a truth that most writers have
overlooked —that they like to have
something left to their imagination
and even to their intuition that is
so much surer and finer than that of
a grown person. Because of all this,
no child could fail to hail with rap
ture “Why the Chimes Rang” every
story in which beautifully gotten up

teresting story in itself, or in its out
ward being, as one might say, but ev-

The whole student community adopts

able standards, in themselves never
undesirable—that are no great help to
a fellow when, leaving the university,

And college breeds huge aspirations.
A lad maps out a career. No me

staying single for a long, long while.

sc* ha* subordinated this aim. A
ery one of which enshrines some
wonderfully beauttfui psychological
idea which the writer does not insult
the child's intelligence by explaining
too fully. Not since Hawthorne's
“The Great Stone Race” and sim
ilar tales have we had anything to
compare with this collection, the pe
' culiar quality of which it would be
as difficult to define in a descriptive
paragraph or in a brief outline as it
would be to give to one who does not
know Hawthorne any conception of
the might of his genius. However,
do not let there be made the mistake
of supposing that Mr. Aiden’s beauti
ful stories are in any respect an imi
tation of the work of any author liv
ing or dead. They all display a
strong individuality, and each one of
the eleven in the hook is original to
a degree that is positively startling
even to those who have thought much
along these particular lines of char
acter building. The peculiarly lucid
j manner in which the idea each story
contains is presented Is sufficient to
account for the charm that makes It

skill with which he has employed the

Lewis Rand, by Mary Johnston. Bos
ton. Houghton, Mifflin and Com
pany. Price $1.50.
The historic novel had fallen into
rather bad repute at one time, be
cause of the careless manner in which
the great facts of this and other eoun
tries in the making were handled by
tyroes in the art of novel-writing, but
there Is a charm about the story wov
en around actualities that cannot be
equalled, and when those real people
and true occurrences are handled by
such a master of the art as Mary
Johnston the result is so satisfactory
that the delighted reader wonders
why he could ever have found the
novel ot history uninteresting read
ing.
It would seem that evegy possible
field of American history had been
long ago covered, but Miss Johnston
has succeeded In finding brand new
material in the days of Thomas Jef
ferson, when there was so stirring a
contest between the party of Jefferson
and the aristocratic Federalists. To
the former party belongs Lewis Rand,
the hero of Miss Johnston's romance,
while to the opposing side belongs the
woman he loves and who is loved by
him. This Rand Is a Napoleonic char,
acter, who seeks empire, even when
empire means treason to his country.
His affiliation with Anron Burr gives
an effect of vcrslmllitude to the
events narrated of him. and cleverly
convincing are the accidents that pre-

“Lewis Rand” was not dashed off
in short order, as some of the novels
of the day have been. Four years
ago. It will be remembered, Miss
Johnston’s health had a serious break
down and her doctor ordered her to
stop all literary work, ihiring seve
ral years spent in foreign travel, how
ever, "Lewis Rand” was in her mind;
she kept turning it over and over,
creating first one subsidiary charac
ter and then another, ami slowly do
veloping the plot. And so the story
was worked out little by little' some
times in Sicily, sometimes in England
sometimes on steamships, sometimes
in hotels. Slowly and carefully she
laid the foundation for her master
piece, until finally, upon her return
from England last year' in complete
health, she was able to go vigorously
ahead with the book and carry it
through to triumphant completion.

American Hero Stories, 1492-1865, by
Eva March Tappan. Boston;
Houghton, Mifflin and Company.
Price 55 cents, net
This volume contains five accounts
of voyagers and explorers, ranging
from Columbus to Lewis and Clark;
stories of live colonies of marked
dissimilarity—Virginia, Quebec, Ply
mouth, New York, and Philadelphia;
brief Ihes of four pioneers of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries;
and fifteen short stories of war times.
In treating of our wars, it seemed
wisest to the author not to attempt
any formal explanation oi causes and
results, but rather to picture a num
ber of separate and interesting
achievements, choosing as far as pos
sible actions that have distinct
heroes. The chapters are arranged
in chronological order, with i
thread of continuity running through
them. The aim of the book Is to
introduce in informal and friendly
fashion some of the makers of Am
erican history, and to provide a slm
plo, brond .foundation for future
study of history and biography.
