YOUTH AND MIDDLE AGE.

YOUNG LIFE. BY Jessie Leckic Herbert
son. 12mo, PIP. 3d4. Dufield & Co
Publishers Praise Of their own wares
IS likely Go he overenthusiastic, a per-
fectly comprehensive rule to which there
nr, hut few exceptions The "blurb' on
the sliD cover Of Young Life is one,
however. This 49, il says, "a story in
which 2 young English girl is left in
charge OF a friend of her fathers. and
has some charming love affairs, eveatn-
ally marrying her guardian Il ls all
true. go far as it goes, although charm
ing" is not quite the adjective one would
have selected ones SELF but the praise
,inaccountably and unjustly omits all
mention OF the personality and the emo
tional adventure Of the woman ep-
uroaching middle age who plays SO large
q mart I'm this book. Only few days ago
mention was made in these columns OF
the advent Of the woman Of forty from
Continental into English and American
fiction. We have just encountered her
once more in Mrs. Thompson and
here she is again dealt with in a way
which suggests that the author has
studied her Ibsen to some purpose. she
follows him sanely from afar The
older woman, too. has her share OF
Young Life" again. and it proves her
salvation. Therein lie the aptness ana
the deeper meaning of the title of good
piece Of work.

rHE WIDOW TRIUMPHANT.

MRS. THOMPSON. a Novel. BY W. B.
Maxwell. l9mo, PIP. S66. ID. Appleton
& Co.
The Scriptural quotation prefixed TO
Mr.. Maxwells book is magnificently JUS
titled by his heroine. Give her of the
fruit of her hands. and let her own
works praise her in the gates it runs,
and Mrs Thompson abundantly shows
her ability TO win the right praise. She
is a widow when we first make her &C
quaintance, the widow of one Thompson.
over whose shop. established 1873" in
the High street of Mallingbridge, she
presides in pretty nearly unqualified
happiness. Her only child. ii is true, is
a rather exasperating young woman, but
.he evaporation is for the reader rather
than for Mrs Thompson. That good
soul is too closely occupied with loving
her daughter to realize the full extent
Of the latters selhshness. And so. as we
say, she dwells with JOY. She has
genius for shopkeeping and makes heaps
Of money. She is respected by every
body in the town, and there are certain
solid citizens who periodically sue FOR
her hand. Why should she not remain
IN peace? Well, in that case we should
have no story and therefore we rejoice
IN the appearance of the villain OF the
piece, for thA means that Mr.. Maxwell
has q capital story to tell US, which he
Is in the very vein TO tell.
Mrs Thompson puts off her widowhood
at last. and does this. of course, at the
behest Of the one man in the world she
ought not 10 marry Troubles come
thick and fast But does Mrs. Thomp-
son lose her wonted grip? Not bit OF

Thompson. which is to say. an individ-
uaity too strong 10 be obiterated by the
name Of an unworthy second husband.
end gloriously do her own works praise
her in the gates. Throughout we share
the devotion of her townsfolk. We are
not merely amused by Mrs. Thompson
hut we fall in love with her. Fat, fair
end forty. after the manner of the pro-
verbal widow, she has charm which
the bloomingest Of brides might envy.
MIR. Maxwell deserves high praise for the
light. entertaining way in which he mas
told her story. and even more for the
genuine feeling with which he has por-
trayed her character, making her one OF
the most sympathetic Of recent herolnes'
Decidedly. this IS one Of the leading sue
Cesses of the season.

NJ. Soyer's method is once noised abroad

truth is that he carries a message or

clerks and school teachers would rather
dine or sup on bun and glass of milk
than face the trouble, after weary day

with a simple and sufficient meal in half

a plate and knife and fork, If they pro-
cure the new paper bags" Thus may

Moreover, she must abide with Spartan
rightly by the rules. "A stew" says
the Oracle, must be made up Of the in
gradients that constitute a stew" The
introduction Of dish of Strawberries or
live lobster would be fatal. 1t must be
remembered. too. that accidents will
happen. though. as NJ. Soyer remarks, it
is the beauty of this system that It's
