'"The Lady of the Flag"

''The Lady of the Flag Flowers" by
Florence Wilkinson. Herbert S. Stone
& Co., Chicago. For sale by the st.
Paul Book and Stationery company.
1.-The Lady of the Flag-FIowers'' is a
novel so uneven in texture that an at
tempt to pass judgment upon it in few
words is more than usually difficult It
is quaint in conception and commonplace
in development; 1t promises more than
it gives in the way of plot; 1t abounds In
good material, but loosely held together.
Perhaps one may call 1t a promising
book because of it's very crudities-they
are crudittes Of execution rather than
conception.
The story would seem to be intended
to revolve around a shivery Huron le-
gend OF La Jongleuse," a wind spirit

The SpOopendyke Sketches were Writ

in 1879, 1880 and 1851. Mr.. Huntley, their
author, was a member Of the editorial
staff, n newspaper man of great energy
and spirit. In his early career in the
West he cultivated that keen humor ana
eXaggeratiYe style peculiar to the pra1rtes
and wild woods, and these sketches are
filled with fine exhibitions of surprising
wit, and overflow with the eZuberance
OF ranch vernacular which never fail to
excite in the reader buoyancy and merr1-

lures of the real life developed in many

Warner. Harper & Brothers, New
York. For sale by the st. Paul Book
and Stationery Co.
Mr. Warner has completed trilogy of
three novels, begun in "a Little Journey
in the World" continued in 1.-The Golden
House and the three works form
study of American social life, though
each book is Independent Of the others
and may be read separately. This is
fortunate circumstance, for one Of them
IS quite enough. Charles Dudley War
ner has not that sustaining gift which Is
required for the more serious tasks Of
literature. The present volume is made
up of a congeries of social episodes
thrown together without dramatic
method, as though the author had
worked when he was tired, or had de-
cided to throw into a volume the odds
and ends of his personal reflections on
men and things which had been left on
hand after other work. The characters,
with the single exception Of Mrs. Mavick,
are only seen through the mist Of in
coherent events which never seem to
march together. The people never come
into clear view, and do not grow into
vision in the development of the story.
For one thing, there are too many Of
them, and when one thinks the story is
at last about to begin, he is introduced to
the new ghosts who crowd into this
shadow pantomime. The analysis of
emotion and motive is always of the
cIumsiest. The characters go about with
dissecting knives in their own hands,
after having made rents in their blood
less persons, saying, Look at me; that
is what I am like Mr.. Warner has ar
rived at time of life when he should be
mature; he is still crude. His talent has
been overworked, and has not ripened.
There is a barbaric fulness of material,
and the lack Of an organizing principle.
If THAT Fortune" represents him at his
best, the author should confne himself
to travel sketches. As to the doctrine,
that is as unWholesome as the art is bad.
Two young persons can fall in love,
marry, and live happy, ever after, with
out breaking up the foundations of mod
ern, Babylon. Then you do not even see
Babylon. You are only told it is there.

"The Dreamers: A club"

''The Dreamers; a Club" by John Ken
drick Bangs. Harper & Brothers, New
York and London.
This book, THE Dreamers," Is the
cleverest thing Mr.. Bangs has ever given
to the reading public. For a young man
who started out in his literary career with
the firm intention of becoming a
humorist, albeit possessing but little Of
that natural bubbling effervescent and
most subtitle quality which WHITES the
work of the true humorist, Mr.. Bangs
has accomplished wonders. In his literary
efforts he has run the whole gamut in
the scale of results, bad very; Indifferent,
good and one is inclined to call this
latest work excellent. 1t is q burlesque
on the novelists. Thirteen young men
form themselves into literary club. Be
leving that most great literary produc-
tions have been the result of dreams, the
club gives a banquet at which only those
dishes of which dreams are, with some
reason, supposed to be made, are served,
and after dining the members go home to
dream At their next meeting they give
the result of those dreams. Perhaps the
best of the collection of stories is the
one entitled, 1.-THE Salvation of Findlay-
son." It is capital imitation of Kipling s
style, and the treatment IS as unique as
Kipling himself could desire. Henry
James involved sentences and didactic
style are cleverely burlesqued IN 1.-THE
Involvular Club The opening sentence
is fully three pages long.
