Howel's New Novel.

A new novel by William Dean How
ellis, entitled The Son Of Royal Lang
brlth," is to appear in serial form in
the North American Review II is
thus described by the publishers:
"A middle-aged doctor desires to
marry a middle-aged widow, whose hus-
band has been dead many years. She
declines, but cannot conceal the fact
that she cares very much for her sutton.
He divines that her son is the cause
OF her refusal This son. who never
knew his father. has always had the
greatest price in him and reverence for
his memory. and thinks II would be a
sort OF sacrilege for his mother TO
marry again. Without being actually
cruel or disrespectful. the young man
tryrnnizes over and dominates his
mother. There are hirts that the father
whom he reverences and idolizes was
far from being an ideal husband The
doctor thinks the son ought to be made
aware OF this. but the mother shr;nks
from letting him know. This situation
is real and human. and new, too. in fic-
ton. The scene Is laid In New Eng
land"

This is one of the bright passages that
occur in Mr. F. Marion Crawford 9

Women are. in a sense, the eI.bodi-
ment Of practice, while men are the
representatives of theory. In practice,
in a race for life, the runner who jumps

unless he breaks his neck. In theory,
he is as likely to break his neck at the
FIRST lump as at the second. and the
chances OF his coming to grief Increase
quickly, always in theory, as he grows
tired. So theory says that It is safer
never TO jump at all. but TO go round
through the gates, or wade ignomin-
iously through the water. Women
Jump: men go round. The difference Is
everything. Women believe in what
often succeeds IN practice, and they take
all risks and sometimes come down with
crash Men theOrize about danger,
make elaborate calculations TO avoid 1t.
and occasionally stick in the mud
When women are at q stone wall they
scream. When men are stuck in a bog
they swear. The difference is funda-
mental. In nine cases out OF ten IL Is
the woman who enjoys the ecstatic de-
light OF saying I told you so, and there
are plenty Of women who would ask no
greater Joy in paradise than 10 say so
to their husbands forever and ever. In
