story, is very charming tof course, and.
equally hayward woman. on whose liz
lies a shadow, the nature of which W.

The lady inspires with love at least two
out of every three men who. approach
her: this is only natural in a heroine,
and is not to be complained of. But we
have, we think. a legitimate right 70
complain OF the presentation of the lady
who does such damage 20 hearts in gen.

and feature, it is not possible to imagine
q man of average sense falling in love
with woman who talks as does Daphne.

casional gleams of light. and the book

justice to the men of the elder days.
She pictures them for the most part as
stern and harsh of judgment and action;
ana this. III. public act at least, they UNI
doubtedly were. But il seems to- as
that She fails 10 recognize the rugged
virtues Of these same men, That there

known in America as we'll 1t is true
that the quality of the verses in this
prettily bound little volume is very I'M
even; but this is rather a defect OF taste
than lack of ability in the writer.
In the graver parts of his work, how
ever, Mr.. Henley has shown himself to
be the possessor of no slight poetic faci-
lily. We use the word facility with
intention: for the verses impress us as
of conscious art rather than as Sponta-
neous utterances. There is about them
an intentional elusiveness, which un-
doubtedly lends to them certain charm,
but which does not make for survival.
Nevertheless. Mr.. Henley writes GOOD
verse. We quote one Of the best:
These glad. these great. these goodly days
Bewildering hope, outrunning praise
The earth, renewed by the great Suns
longing,
Utters her joy in million ways:

"Let Not Van Put Asund.r."
Basil King.


Let Not Man Put Asundcr'' is, as is
implied in its rather conventional title,
a novel touching upon the question of
divorce. 1t is, however, hardly a pros
lem novel; for which let US be duly
grateful to its author. Its scenes are
laid in Boston, London and the cities,
Of ITALY. the closing scenes being placed
In Boston. Its title to be termed
novel OF contemporary American life
may be questionable: but perhaps it
loses little by this. The story. barred of
qualifications, is simple. Petrina Faneuii
is married to Henry Vassall. She is in
tellectual, daring, unorthodox, skeptical;
she goes so far in her modernity as to
doulot-or at least to be unable TO under
stand-the existence Of sin. He is n
InIr Of an elder dag. somewhat narrow
perhaps. but with clearly defined views
as 10 right and wrong, and with q hor
TOR OF shams and masks. Moreover he
IS a Christian and az gentleman, while
his wife is an unbeiever and'-well, not
quite a lady, though we do not think that
this is the intention of the author The
marriage turns out just as would be cX-
pected, and finally there is divorce;
though divorce is thing in which Nassall
does not believe. However, his wifcs
misconduct causes Nassall to- leave her,
and she then obtains the divorce. After
a time she marries one 1echmere, who
has previously been divorced from q
French actress. Then ensue complica-
tons. The actress comes to America.
