THE HOUSE OF MIRTH. BY Edith Whar-
ton. Illustrated by A. b. Wenzell. New
York: Charles Scribner's Sons.
The old fable OF Undine. who through the
suffering wrought by love, found her soul,
has come to have a new application since
the publication of THE House Of Mirth."
In some sense is 1t true of the heroine of
Mrs. Whartons novel. In a more pregnant
degree Is it true of Mrs. Wharton's own
delicate genius. 1t has happened. perhaps.
to those who admire her fine satire. the low
ing care of her workmanship her almost
superhuman insight into the moods of the
men and women she has studied. to regret
the authors constant attitude of detach-
ment from the elemental struggles of cx-
istence. In the. story of the life Of Lily
Bart Mrs. Wharton's observation of the
tragic course of her heroine's destiny has
become so fused with feeling that we are
haunted at the conclusion with q sense OF
irreparable loss.
1nasmuch as the novel Is a study of what
for lack OF a better term we may call
American society, the moneyed element In
our large cities, which alone of all our war
ring social factions has arrogated to itself
an organization and a code Of fixed con-
ventions, the book challenges comparison

PLAIN MARY SMITH, Romance of Red
Saunders. By Henry Wallace Phillips.
Illustrations by Martin Justice. New
+ York: The Century Company.
Red Saunders has heretofore offered him
self only in installments, as the narrator
of detached stories in which he has figured
more or less conspicuously. In the course
of these stories he has endeared himself to
a large public, which has loved him for
his simplicity, that Is at the same time
craft, for his courage, that is never immod-
est, for his naive style of self-eXpression
that Is never consciously humorous but al
ways spontaneous. Now Red Saunders tells
a romantic story of some length. not too
long to be tiresome for a single reading.
In the course Of 1t he acquaints his read
er with the facts of his early life. and In
teresting facts they are. With tender.
understanding, sympathetic mother, and
father exactly the reverse in every respect
Red grew to young manhood without suf-
ficlently keen sense of himself, his powers
and his limitations. He developed remark
ably quickly when launched forth on the
schooner Matilda, bound for somewhere
down on the Central American coast. He
took a lesson in love when he met Mary

THE FORTUNES OF THE LANDRAYS.
By Vaughan Kester. illustrated by

ward & Lothrop.
It is a trifie difficult at first to get the
run Of Mr.. Kester's various generations of
characters in this long and excellent novel.
Quite a procession of widows and orphans
passes before the reader. There are three
different Stephen Landrays who figure I'm
portantly. Thus were it not for the fact
that Virginia, wife Of the first Stephen OF
the story's range. survives ali the catas-
trophies and the years and endures from the
beginning of the story to the end. there
might be disposition to regard this rather
as series of novelettes than as a single
romance.
Mr.. Kester's theme is simple. the dissipa-
ton of q fortune, the wickedness of a law
yer and the ultimate disclosure OF his
guilt. The happenings begin back in 40.
when the gold rush occurred. That intro
duces tho first generation Of Landrays. and
shows two of them, brothers. leaving their
young wives and starting forth in the
search Of the Ell Dorado of the coast. They
are guided by Truman Rogers, sickly en-
thusiast, whose little boy, Benny, wins
sympathy at the outset and holds 1t to
the point Of the first grand tragedy. In
which all but he Of the gold-seeking party
are slain through treachery.
The first Stephens nephew next grows
into the consciousness Of the reader, not
an especially interesting, but somewhat
pathetic figure, war hero, business failure,
victim Of the Kansas winds In the face
of which he seeks fortune. This Stephen

A change I'm the methods OF mining

the railroad, which has given a false
impression as to the values I'm the ores
OF the different mines. They have not
changed from the palmy days of tho
leasers, but with reduced freight
charges and no wagon haul, the big
veins are mined and dumped into the
cars without sorting and the average
values so extracted are $50 per ton,
about two-thrds silver and one-third
gold. Were the ores Of Tonopah sortsd
today as In the days when the leasers
were shipping $500 to S5oO-ore from the
famous Mizpoh ledge, those values
would NOT be considered high at all. All

that grade large enough to ship in
abundance, but the methods Of extrac-
