The story of Susan.

In a classification OF modern novels
which breathe forth the spirit of the vii
iage. Mrs Henry Dudeney's recent book
The Story OF Susan on its merits should
be ranked well along toward the top of the
list. One OF the chief charms OF the story
is Mrs. Dudeney's sympathetic handling of
an English age-Liddleshorn, in the
Sussex hills-with its matched cottages and
gardens its field paths and hedge rows. its
market days and Methodist chapel, its
quaint characters and homely life Equally
admirable is her light. artistic touch on old

shop of Martin Heritage and his we'll
paned bookcase in the little parlor behind
the shop Phoebe Scadding's tiny fancy
work and sweetstuff shop. with its small
lending library in the dim background.

bough-pots, purple-sprigged Lowestoft tea
cups pattens. cross-stitch embroidery and
other fascinating sweet old England be-
longings delight the reader. 'Thistledown

Under the above curious title Alice Woods
has written remarkable story Of a re-
markable girl-a story much better than
her first book, Edges" yet, one must feel
who mas watched her progress in the realm
of letters, not so good as the books she will
write. From the series of letters never in
tended for the public eye which, on the per-
suasion of her friends. formed the ground
work of Edges, TO the story at hand the
author shows important growth. In "A
Bingham Rose" there is TO be seen more
definite understanding of the principles of
story telling, firmer grasp on the elements
of emotional expression. And in just these
factors this novel is a promise to the read
ing public that here is writer who shall be
increasingly able TO interest because she has
succeeded in recording with fidelity the
things that the heart of every one, some
time In life, experiences.
Doubtless somewhere in New York city

aunt And one is sure that Arizona and the
people of Sunny Days must be Just as they
described. 1t is more than likely that a
great deal of real life is here, and that pos
sibly the author has put much of herself
into her heroine.
"A Bingham Rose relates the story of
Anne Preston. an art student full OF life S

quickness of mind and warmth of heart.
That John Warren failed somehow in his
love for her Is to be understood on reading
the story. But that the reader will like her
is not TO be doubted Her keen outlook on
life; her perfect friendship for those about
her: the struggles to make a name as
writer; her self-Sacritice to save what she
may of the life of the real hero-these
things join the reader at once to the tragedy
of her life in keen sympathy. To relate
here the outcome of her struggles would be
to spoil for the reader much of the charm
of the narrative.
The book is not to be read quickly; there
is much in and of the story itself. and Sc
much quite outside of it that will want
to linger on while reading. Such scene as
the one that begins on Page 81 and continues
to the end of the chapter is not to be
skipped. Every word of the conversation
counts: every bit of the description is de-
lightful. The author has THE seeing eve -

Sir Mortimer.

Mary Johnston's new book is, perhaps,
her best, for she permits her fancy to run
into a new field-nOt new to fiction, but
hitherto not entered by herself Sir Nor

when English adventures were preying on
the commerce and territory of Spain; when
London spectators fitted out fleets of
ships. turned them over to dare-deVils who
served her Majesty's cause. and started
them marrying, semi piratical missions
Sir Mortimer" is unlike ITO Have and TO
Hold" or prisoners of Hope" books that
gave Mary Johnston literary fame There
is such vast difference that readers will
be surprised at the versatility of the author
1t is written in the courtier-like langua ge
of the day of which il treats. That is, the
characters express themselves in the words
peculiar 10 the time when Queen Bess was
the center of of the most brilliant
courts OF Europe. A pretty love story is
told in the wooing of Damaris Sedley, one
OF the Queens maids of honor, by Sir
Mortimer. Tragedy and frivOlity, cruelty
and superstition, fighting on land and sea,
sorrow and happiness-in fact, nearly all
phases of human life are depicted by the
author. \ feature of local interest is the

To Windward.

Although written by the author of "Sea
Scamps' and entitled as above, the latest
book by Henry c. Rowland is not a sea
story. The sea is only incidental. We meet
the hero in a shipyard and go with him on
a voyage as skipper of a pleasure yacht
but these are only incidents The story
concerns itself with the life of a New York
surgeon, Amas Knapp. DR.. Rowland has
drawn an admirable character in his hero
Fearless, determined, rugged and genuine
this young fellow is of the sort that gains
the readers immediate sympathy. A Gu
rious love for a character of his own crea-
ton led the author to make this young
surgeon the twin brother of the hero of his
former book, Sea Scamps." There is alb
solutely no connection between the two
stories but Jordan and Amos Knapp are
twins in appearance, character. peculiari-
ties-everything but circumstances The
author may not be consciously indebted TO
Dickens for one incident and character in
the book but the VILLAIN" is a second
Steerforth. and repeats the sin Of his proto-
type in David Copperfield" But this
hardly detraCts from the originality of DR.
Rowland's book. The freshness, spirit and
vigor of his style are irresistible What he
writes has a manly and earnest but withal
a humorous ring that should make friends
for him. His people talk like real people,
body can help liking a breezy book like ITO
Windward" II is hard TO see More books
of this sort are needed, readers desire to
meet some of DIR. Rowland's adventurous
heroes again. a. S. Barnes & Co., New

Cardinal Newman.

The reader of William Barry's Cardinal
Newman" in the Literary Lives series,
must first be impressed with Cardinal New
man as a man. He was a man in relation
10 his religion. to literary art and every
activity with which he had to do. Il would
rather be bound to defend the reasonable
ness of assuming that Christianity is true
than TO demonstrate a moral government
from the physical world. Life is for action.

ences from them-this is not 10 live.
But if we commence with scientific knowl-
edge and argumentative proof. or lay any
great stress upon it as a basis of personal
Christianity, or attempt to make man
moral and religious by libraries and mu-
seums, let US in consistency take chemists
for our cooks and mineralogists for orr ma
sons. Faith was to Cardinal Newman the
principle OF action, not knowledge or ar
gument. The Christian teaching was a
history supernatural, almost scenic. His
utterance of the genesis of artistic express
sion is a final word on the subject He said
IT Is not style alone which stamps an orig
inal writer. The writer is first of all a
mind. an imagination. sui generis. There
are those who regard composition as a
trick or a trade; but, inquiries Newman,
can they really think that Homer, or Pm
dar, or Shakespeare. or Dryden, or Walter
Scott were accustomed 10 aim at diction for
its own sake instead of being inspired with
their subject and pouring forth beautiful
words because they had beautiful thoughts?
This IS surely too great paradox 10 be
borne. No, we must look upon the writer
as inspired in his mental attitude and bear
ing, the beauty of his moral countenance,
the force and keenness of his logic are i'm
aged in the tenderness. or energy, or rich
ness of his language. So that the perfec-
ton the writer achieves is not so much of
his skill or of his power" Any age is i'm
measurably enriched by man of such true
insight and power as Cardinal Newman.
Newmans supreme gift was an intellect
which detected the logical inadequacy OF
words. arguments, ideas and systems when
| confronted with the realities which they
bodied forth. But he perceived that the in
dividual must be guided by his conscience
and that society lives by revelation and
leading principles, implicit reason. econom-
ical representation, symbolic expression
and the necessary development of creeds
He thus bridges the gulf between reason
and experience, between the finite and in
finite, and protects faith against fictitious
enlightenment. Religion and science are
brought to the same touchstone, which Is

and possessed by life, of which the guiding
