has long loved George Heathcote, but he,
unknown to her, loves and is loved by
her younger sister, Hetty. Georges step
father. CATER Kingsley, a miser finding
that Catherine, who has been poor, has
fallen heir to a fortune, tries to bring
about a marriage between her and his
sep-son Catherine believes that this is
Georges wish, as it is hers, but George
refuses to listen to the plan, and declares
that he will marry no other woman while
Hetty lives Taking this statement in
a sense not intended, Kingsley deter
mines to put Hetty out of the way. She
is poisoned, and suspicion falls upon
Catherine, who has discovered the state
Of affairs between Hetty and George,
and whose sisterly affection has turned
to undisgused hate But the truth is
finally discovered, and, Hettys life being
saved, the conclusion is a happy one
In Mary Pennington, Spinster, Mr.. w
R. Wakes is said to have satirized deli
cately but quite keenly phase of the
new woman question. His heroine, Mary
Pennington, is a Girton girl, who, during
the progress Of her education, has absorb
ed ideas decidedly out of the common.
She believes absolutely in the equality
Of the sexes. She is also convinced that
woman properly educated is quite compe-
tent to manage her own affairs, and that
marriage, in that it indicates dependence
upon a man, is altogether unnecessary to
the life and well-being of such a woman
Thanks to the latter belief Miss Penning-
ton has decided upon a life of single
0essedness, and also that she will her
self manage the large mill property,
which has been left her by her father
and she determines to demonstrate this
correctness of her belief that men and wo-
men are equal by substituting female for
male labor in all departments of her
mills. But, unfortunately for her. theory
and practice are again proven by her ex-
periments to be very different things. and
one after another her plans fail and her
Ideals are shattered About this main
story Mr.. Wakes has woven new idea
IN comedy, in which figure a tender, cling
ing young girl, a cousin whom Mary is
bringing up after her own peculiar ideas
especially those which decree that abso-
lute mental equality is essential if mar
rage must be INDUCED in, and a fascinat-
ing young man who is hopelessly ignorant
and beyond the reach of education.
