Life, recently, registered protest we
have all been entertaining inwardly, |
against the creations of the women
novelists' brains which pass in their |
stories for men. A Miss Banks writing |
in the London Times Review expresses
pity for American women If the men |
of this country are really no better |
than the lady novelists'' make them |
out Miss Banks calls Selden, the hero |
of The House of Mirth, a .cowardly |
prig," verdict which will be heartily |
endorsed by most of the readers of Mrs. |
Wharton's successful novel. Miss Ellen
Glasgow's New York story, says Miss |
Banks. reveals a gallery of cads and |
pigmies'' 1t is probably true as some
say that a woman never knows man.
At any rate the woman writer of f1c-
ton never seems to be able to make her
male characters convincing. Life's de-
mand that the American lady novelists
''oblige many friends by putting little
more stiffening into their gentleman
will be enthusiastically
echoed by novel readers.
