Fennel and Rue" Mr. William Dean
Howells's new novel emhodies every
delight of his fine imagination. OF this
author most eXcellences are to beck
pected: but the new. story is full OF
surprise and subtlety. nervously tense
IN plot and uncommonly eXhilarating
for story of conservative metropol-
itan setting. a man who writes stories
is approached by an unknown cores
pendent, in the course of 4 great mag
azine serial. with the startling request
that the end of the story should be re-
vealed to her. since her death will
occur before it is concluded, and its
Issues have moved her deeply. cour-
teous investigation by editor and au-
thor results in another letter confess
ing with feverish pentsnce that the
first one was only a Jest. Moved by
rage and pain. the author sends re-
ply. the best comment on which comes
later in the story in the conten,ptuous
insult another man offacs him when
he hears about it. The scene turns to
winter house party in the country,
where by accident the writer meets
young woman who does no. appear
among the guests, but profess ion;lly
assists the hostess in furnishing each
days program of amusement Nerrian
snohbishly let's this fact influence a
certain attraction between Them. The
scene of this uncomfortable house
party is as strangely vivid as the in
ner situation is delicately psychology
cal. In New York the two meet again
accidentally in the city park, whel e
the man comes to realize his own emo
lions bit too late.

owe to a soldier to whom great injus-
tice has been done. The statements
in the two reports of the commanding
general in regard to his orders and
tho management of the cavalry in the
GETTYSBURG campaign have been gener-
ally accented without question:: and
the criticisms of his staff officers and
hioeraphers on the conduct Of the chief
of cavalry have assumed them TO be
true. 1t seems never to have occurred
TO these critics to analyze and compare
the two reports with each other. and
With the contenlporaneous correspond
ence, to ascertain If they agree, or in
what respect they differ. This I have
done and have found 1t Impossible to
reconcile their differences"
