Neqe, Romance W,1tten
BY California Girls

Two California girls Esther and
Lucia Chamberlain, have laid the scene
of their new story, Mrs. Essington," at
Mirabar country house on the Cali
forria coast, near San Francisco. It's
the romance of house party. One OF
it's authors expressed to what extent
the story is Californian in these words:
THE book is not an observation Of
sectional types and local color, but the
California atmosphere and landscape
are used with the story because that
country and atmosphere are vital and
young, and in those triumphant quail
ties they represent. the motif of the
story"
There are some good bits of land
scape and atmosphere description In the
writing. The feature of the novel is
the well-drawn, strong character, Mrs
Essington. She is about all there is to
the book, but in herself alone she Is
perhaps enough to make book about.
The other people but afford her a field
for action.
Mrs. Essington Is a widow, still
youthful, but yet ten years older than
the man she loves Her first marriage
had not been a happy one. and most
people would believe from the circum-
stances OF it that its ending left her
entitled to another romance Captain
Essington had squandered her fortune
In gambling and had cared little how
she amused herself while he was
absorbed In doing 1t. His death came
from a quarrel over q gamble. The
reader feels that she thus Is a widow
more than just merely technically free
to love and marry again.

passion in his admiration she yelled
her face; third, when she was con-
scious she was no longer young she
became kinder. Twenty years after
she first dawned upon her ardent lover
on that Easter morning they had an
other romantic meeting; it was in the
garden of an old man "who had ded-
icated all his life to love- and he gave
them each a splendid rose.
In the study of this lifelong but flu
tile passion it is worth noting that 1t
was not wholly a wiIlful thing of Pc
trarchs sole election. Powers beyond
his will seemed to force 1t into his
heart and mind and conserve 1t there
beyond placement. Once while in the
mountains the poet saw a vision of his
love, and ever after he was haunted
by her image; he heard her voice In
the murmurs of the rushing waters,
and when the wild birds sang. At
the hour of her death. though he
was far away, he saw a vision of her
crowned with pearls. and she rose and
took his hand.

this golden hair she had brilliant black
eyes. When Petrarch first beheld her
