BOOK STORE CHAT.
A New Romance by Henry James-Marie
Corelli at II Again.

COrelli at II Again.
Bill Skies pounded Nancy to death.
Clorinda struck down sir John Oxon and
kicked mis- corpse under the sofa. The
horrible thing that was done In the
story called "The Other House," Mr..
Henry James latest novel is far worse
than the two fam iliar instances we cite
of the unpardonably horrible in fiction
writing. We recall nothing half SO ugly
and awful as the crime of "The Other
House."
Mr.. James doesn'. dwell upon it. The
tragedy that finally clears the entangle-
ment of "The Other House" 10 accom-
plisled swiftly and put out OF the way
without any unnecessary words. Indeed,
Mr. Games does not take time to dwell on
anything in this work 1t is a"convarsa-
tion novel;" and 1t goes at an amazing
pace. There is hardly need for the d.
vision OF chapters except at the point
where the curtain must fall to give tho
reader a chance to imagine that four
years elapse i'm the interim. "The Other
House, is book FOR a comfortable even-
ing's sitting-slhough its tragedy pre-
vents it..from being altogether comfort
able book. The tragedy il wholly un-
expected thing. 1t was not premediated
by the actor in 1t and so, Of course,
could not be anticipated 10y the reader.
The horror OF it quite knocks the comfort
out OF the sitting.
There are just Ave important characters
IN the book. Two women and three
men. Tony Bream is "a young widower
who promised his dying wife that he
would never marry again at least so long
as their ,child.lived-the wife having a
particular horror of stepmothers from her
own experience, which promptei her dy-
ing wish aside from the fact that she
naturally wanted to believe that Tony
would never love anyone again. Tony
is n happy-go-lucky fellow, out distinctly
a man OF bis word. Accordingly when
In due season he falls in love with Jean
Martlo and ghe with him, mis- oath binds
him and he proposes TO stand by 1t.
The other woman, Rose Armiger, is in
love with Tony, too, but as bad luck
will have 1t. the other two
men, Dennis Vidal and Paul Beever
are In love with her. Moreover,
the mother OF Beever has 1t all laid out
TO marry her son 20 Jean Martle. but
Jean doesn't want Paul, nor Paul Jean.
The complication Is certainly nne;
every body Is in love or directed TO be In
lose with tho wrong person, and the
only couple that could settle the whole
mix up and be happy themselves are de-
barred by the ostn OF the man in the
case TO his dying wife. To see how ali
this comes ort.the rerder seats himself to
enjoy che comedy. The quintette are partic-
ulariy bright people, Of course, because
they are Mr.. James creatures. and they

is 1t not rather absurd to assume that
any given set OF "inaaerces' or organ
ization OF men could have secretly and
viciously induced the law-making pow
ers OF the most intelligent natious OF the
earth to do an unwise thing in such a

ful of men could have compelled the in

the United States, France Germany,
Holland Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, Aus
tro-Hungary, Belgium, and the English
colonies all over the world, to commit
financial bariksri, all within a compara-
lively few years7 II few men had been
attempting a plan OF this sort which
was really bad, would they not have be-
gun on what MIR. Bryan terms the
"'weaker nations" which would be more
easily influenced rather than TO have be-
gun with the strongest and most intelli'
gent? How can a syndicate, a few
dozen or a few hundred at the most,
have been able so TO deceive $50, 600, 900 OF
the most intelligent people OF the globe
within few years's time as to lead them
to do an unwise thing in regard to the
subject uppermost In the minds OF all
men and all nations, that of business
prosperity?

Mr.. Julian Hawthorne is a clever fell
ow, but because he seems to make play
thing OF the calling of literature takes
the sincerity out OF about everything he
writes, we feel sure, for a good many
readers, although we don't know as that
interferes with his popularity. Here Is a
new book Of his "The Golden Fleece" in
the dainty Lotos Library, published by
the Lippincotts. (For sale by Preston &
Rounds, rs cents). 1T is readable, in
fact very readable story. 1t has basis
of mysticism. theosophy, transmigration
Whatever you iiKe-Mr. Hawthorne
taking up the tool aud handling 1t freely
and cleverly but with no especial novelty
or originality OF purpose. A few not
uninteresting persons are hastily skttched
and their destinies are rapidly brought
into conjunction with an Indian princess
of an existence some three centuries ago.
Mr.. Hawthorne doesn't undertake to go
very deeply into this matter nor to take
the Indian princess too seriously. He is
telling a love story, and the 30O-year-old
maiden is handy for telling the old, old
story In the new, new way. Mr. Haw-
thorne is rarely far behind the times In
these matters.

WE find a curious popular error perpet-
uated in DIR. ANDREWS history OF "The
Last Quarter Century in the United
States" The caption on the page (vol.
III, p. 1881 wherein is told OF the Statue
OF Liberty in New York harbor reads
'Liberty Enlightening the World" and
the historian writer's OF "BARTHoLDI's
Statue OF Liberty Enlightening the
World" But that is the title OF the statue
only because custom in referring 10 it
has made It SO. 1t was not the title de-
signed for the mammoth bronze, and
to SO name it knocks out the whole mean
ing and metaphor of the design which
was "Liberty Lighting (not "enlightsn.
ing'') the World, ,"--something that the
statue was set up actually to do as well
as possessing pleasing and appropriate
significance.

day,tragedy." The Murder is an "every
day tragedy" in that it represents the
doing to death of a bright and earnest
woman by worthless and witless bus-
band. There are, admittedly, not few
women who are murdered as was DelicIa.
The tragedies OF eyery.d life, the trag-
edies OF no more dramatic incident than
the wearing away OF the stone, are indeed
plentiful enough and dreadful enough.
The Delicias of real Life are, indeed, un-
fortunate Theirs is a pitiful condition
even when the numbering process doesn't,
kill. But sometimes-we'u Just whisper.
this, Miss Corelli-men are murdered,
too, in the same heartless way, though
to be sure the male Delicias as a rule
manage to worry through the
tragedy of an i'll assorted match rather
better than do the women and ofteDer
survive il. The particular Delicia OF this
particular murder is welded to Lord
Carlyon. She supports him with her
pen and he spends the money sbe earns
on sou brettes and such like TO whom be
speaks of his wife as being unsexGd be-
cause she works for her land his) living
instead of engaging in more womanly
pursuits-as, for instance, dancing the
serpeniine or appearing in pink tights
for the delectation of noble mankind.
Delicia learns all about her precious
lords department and forthwith with
draws her support from him, and herself
from The world. There isn't likely TO oe
any mistake as 10 the moral of this
Woman has as much right to be free as
man, and man has no right TO slur her
when she works for a living-especiali
If he is behoiden to ber WORK for his
own comforts and luxuries. lie certainly
is q brute to spend the means she pro-
vides in the society of Others, not sun
ssxed" women. But 1t may naturally
occur to the thinking observer that what
ever the qualities Delicia possesses there
must be something lacking in her in
tellectual makeup to move her to fall
in love with nature that proves
to be like LORD CarlyoD's. However do
they come to do 1t? Usually, we
believe, as in this Delicias case
because the Lord Carlyon in the case is
handsome. Woman has liberated herself
a good deal, and that, as Miss Corelli
tells us, should be recognized of all men
- the brutes. But II the new womankind
is properly typined by Delicis, the hand
some man evidetly still has about the
same Influence over her that he has re
tained for some centuries. 1t stands to
reason that IL Delicis hadn't married
Lord Carlyon she would not have been
so pitilessIy murdered. And she wouldn't
have married him II he hadn't been
handsome. Delicia consulted the thing
she called her heart rather than the thing
that Miss Corelli exhalts, known az the
brain. He'd Delicia been per spica
cious she would have chosen homely
man VINO was not lord, but who would
have been good to her. Then everything
would have been smooth. But then, too,
there would have been no book from
Miss Corelli, which would have been a
misfortune. for the "Murder OF Delicia"
is an interesting story TO DO much en-
joyed, providing you don't allow yourself
to take Miss Corelli too seriously. (Pres.
