Hope Deferred.

Mr. Anthony Hopes story OF "A Servant
of the Public Frederick A. Stokes Com
pany) is told deliberately. 1t has gentle
interest. 1t sets forth the conversation
and the affairs of self cont rolled people. We
have found it difficult to believe certain
allegations in the tale. 1t says in the twenty
first chapter that "Babba was wildly hilar-
io,ls," and that sOra talked very fast,
smoked two cigarettes, and darted to and
fro about the room, restless as quicksilver,
utterly refusing to take her seat on the sofa "
We can scarcely credit it. Certainly Ora,
in refusing to sit and TO sit still on the sofa,
violated, as We may say. the atmosphere
of this distinctly quiet tale If Ba bba was
hilarious, he few in the face OF his distin-
guished author, as he has here chosen to
manifest himself
We love quiet, possibly loss in tales than
in actual life. 1t seems to us little queer
that Mr.. Anthony Hope should have left
us, in this publication so positively mdis-
turbed Very pleasantly has he disturbed
us on repeated occasions. We shall con-
tinue to look to him with interest, notwith-
standing this disappointment.
We miss Mr.. Harold Percivals iilustra-
tions in our copy Of the tale They are
announced, but they do not appear. 1t is
possible that Mr.. Percival found the story
uneventful. and was not encouraged to
any graphic manifestations.

"IOta's" Latest.

Certain intensities OF literary style and
of human department mark the beginning
of "Iota's" story of Patricia, a Mother"
ID. Appleton 4 Coz. We can well believe
that Mrs. Portal was made for Tragedy in
her finer forms" Her mouth drcoped.
She was the mother-in-law Of Patricia.
She and Patricia variously stood and
crouched before a feeble fire in the old
house of Portal. The son and husband
lay in his final sleep in room above them.
"The man with her own chiselled features,
her own proud, sensitive face, 80 pure and
purged of earth, who lay dead above them,
her son, the other woman's husband, had
bcen the one human soul of which she had
h, Id all the Ike US, who had never faileo her. +"
S..rely the beginning of Patricia" is high
pitched, full of the air Of tragedy, like Mrs.
Portal herself.
Patricia had red hair. 1t was abundant
rebcllious, obvious, 1t blazed, affronted
in a house of mourning. Mrs. Portal sug
cested a cap. Patricia started, paused.
and stared. Then, with swift movement
of her strong hands, she swept up the heavy
masses of her hair until in fash Of sudden
fame it looked like mist of firefies.' We
need not dwell upon the question whether
such head of hair was improper at the
moment Neither is it necessary to point
out that men were not likely to regard un-
emotionally young widow with such a
head OF hair.

With The Abandoned Farm" Mary J.
Holmes adds another story Of sentiment
to the long list of her love tales. which
during the last half century have gratifled
the morbid craving for impossible romance
peculiar to the adolescent mind.
The new book is written after the old
recipe and is as cloyingly sweet and rich
as the old fashioned fruit cake careful
housewives always had on hand in case
of emergency -because it would keep
1t recalls ones youth to read again a tale
with no battling purpose save that involved
in marrying the good girl to the good boy.
1t is interesting to see how the veteran
writer adapts modern conditions in the
veav wing OF her old time plot.
One OF the stories in the new book is
concerned with an abandoned farm in
New England which a city youth fits up
and fills with house party. The worthy
and virtuous maiden goes out to service
"a waitress and marries the exemplary
youth who employs her
The other tale involves foreign travel,
and a wedding between an American widow
and an Italian Count. The book is pub
lished by the q. w, Dillingham; Company.
Mr. Bernard Shaw Then and Now.
The preface to the new edition of Mr.. g.
Bernard Shaw's THE Irrational Knot"
(Brentano's) makes the book worth having
regardless Of the novel. In it the author
lets himself out on the subject about which
he writes most entertainingly, namely
himself, and supplies a certain amount
of autobiographical material, incidentally
swatting Mr.. James Huneker, who had
called him "a peasant boy" MIR. Shaw
cxpatiates on the changes he has undergone
in twenty-five years and allows the book
to be printed without recommending it.
1T is now open to any one who peases to
read The Irrational Knot. do not recon-
mend him to. For my own part
cannot stand it. 1t is to me only one of
the heaps Of spoiled material that all ap-
premiership involves After this there
may be a public for even The Irrational
Knot; so let it 60
But Mr. Shaw does not let it go. He
kindly consented to read the proof sheets
of his own novel, and after doing that tells
ls in postscript that he found, with some
access of respect for my youth, that it is
fiction of the first order However
that may be- we fancy Mr.. Shaw has changed
much less than he would have us believe;
the ideas on marriage. which could only
be published in one of Mrs Besant's propa-
gandist magazines twenty-five years ago,
have become common enough themes Of
discussion since; and at the present moment
everything he has written is likely to be read
at least. whatever. the reader thinks Of it.
