SUNDAY, OCTOBER li. J} Week With Bookmakers Magazine Writers ‘BOOKS REVIEWED 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 the first. It is worth a year's sub scription to the paper as an exponent of the fact that there are still left a few who have not bowed to the Baal of (1 dislike to use the terra, but no other expresses) vulgarity and fast ness of the present age One won ders what is to become of the nation if the mothers make It, for surely the mother outlook for this generation is sad. The delicacy of women Is out of style, and consequently the chivalry of men is almost out of date. Trundle t/ds are obsolete because chi dren are The mtyhers cannot spare time from social 'functions to keep their little ones simple and pure, , so. like "Topsy," they grow somehow. But I am an old fogy, Mr. Editor, and am laid away with the trundle bed. but not without a sigh for the days 1 of yore, when life was simpler ano j we had children to put to Bleep in the old “trundle beds." This and similar charges against the women are offered as the reasons for men remaining single, but what about the other side of It? Is the wan Ing home ftmosphars entirely due to j the selfishneaa of women? We think j not. and bo do some others think w'th 1 us. notable a writer In the Boaton , Transcript, who thus Justly accounts , for th< small percentage of marriage* ! 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 ters so forcibly Into his own life. The 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 ed out. 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 volume is not only a delightfully in teresting story in itself, or in its out ward being, as one might say, but ev- j Colleeg Is not good for the sartorial lobe. Quickly the farm boy acquires a taste for presentable clothes, which is right and proper, hut with It cornea a taste for elegance beyond his means. The whole student community adopts standards—nice, gentlemanly, respect able standards, in themselves never undesirable—that are no great help to a fellow when, leaving the university, he begins his struggle In the world. And college breeds huge aspirations. A lad maps out a career. No me diocre success for him! He must get to the top. And to get to tbe top, while maintaining appearances, means staying single for a long, long while. Ho It comes about that youths con tent with shahhlness and taking life as it comes have a better chance than he of founding a home. But the biggest detriment, I think, Is the merry camaraderie of the fra ternity house. There a boy learns to in- satisfied with masculine compan ionship or in the main satisfied Give him a few mild flirtations, for varie ty’s sake, and he bas made out a very tolerable existence After college comes the club and the bachelor apart ment, yet the man has not broken with the college ffe goes bask to it every opoprtunlty he gets.

How Faahiona Originate. While doubt!*.* that first module*.. | tlon of the merely useful garb which: jwe call fashion was Induced by the I Instinctive feminine desire to please I the male eye rivalry with her own 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 self so powerfully felt by every ma ture reader, but Mr. Alden's really remarkable genius is evinced in the skill with which he has employed the old vehicles of knights and castles and haunted woods with birds and beasts that talk and all the other ap purtances of the land of “faery” so witching to childhood to convey to the less well developed intellect the impressive thought that Is Invaluable because of .the depth of its imprint |on the so easily impressed young ! sirit. One really needs a new set of ad jectives to express the great pleas ure that is afforded by this opportun ity to proclaim the glad news that in “Why the Chimes Rang” parents and educators arc given an instrument for instruction that is as invaluable as it is inspirational. 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- I severely plain head covering is use ful; when the fair wearer put a 1 feather in her hat she Bitrely won 1 masculine approval—for there was ihe decorative touch.

In ills love relations he remains exemplary to the end, and at the very end h t » rises to the full measure of a man. The style is picturesque, color ful, vivid, finished and beautiful, - in short Miss Johnston’s own. “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.

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.
