A New Novel by M. Jules
Claretie.
The SuRLIMlNAL SELF.

WHICH rs MY HUSBAND? BY jules
ClaIetie, Of the Academic FRANCHISE
Translated by Mary j. Stafford: Nus
trated. limo. PIP. $50 d. Appleton &
Company.
The septuagenarian author OF the
"Abbe Constantine" to mention only the
story by which he is best known TO
American readers, takes up in this mover
the problem Of double identity. as 1t pre-
sents itself in the case OF a young artist
who, after several years immunity from
this mysterious alment, has the courage
to marry, only to turn once more into
that other self OF his on his wedding day.
NJ. Claretie, who has kept up with the
times, introduces a physician OF the
Charcot school to discuss, without undue
tediousness, the phenomenon and all the
problems which it opens to the investl-
gator. a way out being found through an
Alsatian scientist, living obscurely In
Paris. who knows the legends OF the
Middle Ages and applies the naive cure
found in a similar case by sanity
monk Of long ago. 1t is this solution
that pleases the reader most of all-it Is
such a wholesome. genial fash OF the
Gallo spirit at its innocent best But
the PAINTER has some strange expert
ences with situations of his other self
creation on the way to their final separa-
ton.

His conception Of William has already
been referred to. II remains 10 be added
that. since he processes to be writing OF
Berlin court life, he has lost a delight
full opportunity by not giving his read
ers few glimpses Of the amusingly pro-
vincial court of the gray old Elnperors
reign, which was to be transformed by
his grandson and real successor. into the
brilliant imperial court Of to-day. 1t Is
needless to add that in the case Of the
doomed Frederick Mr.. Hodgetts draws
largely upon Professor Geffcken. availing
himself of the opportunity thus afforded
him to dim Bismarck's glory. And. Of
course, he is an unqualified worshipper
Of William III.
In between the chapters devoted to the
great HohenZollerns there is a great deal
Of amusing gossip concerning the little
ones. their peculiarities and encourages.
Occasionally one is wildly reminded
here of the novels Of the late lamented
Louisa Muehlbach.

Centuries Of Berlin Court Life BY p; A
trations. svo.. xi. 4l5. f. T. button
& Co.
Neither the title nor the subtitle
Of this book is altogether accurate. 1t
is not, strictly speaking, a history or
the house Of Hohenzollern. but OF the
Hohenzollerns after they had made
themselves kings of Prussia. 1t is
detailed story Of Berlin. court life only
IN the case Of those kings whose reign
was historically Insignificant, and con-
seouently offers but little material Of
real value to the chronicler. So far as
IT goes the work is certainly readable.
but far from important, the authors
collective hero worship Of this remark
ably energetic and successful family re-
fusing to see the flaws in the character,
policy and achievements of any single
member Of It, This determination Of
the author to see no spots on the sun
leads him to treat the Margarine Of
Bayreuth rather negligently for the sake
Of the reputation of Frederick William l,
even though she, too, was Hohenzollern
and a remarkable one. 1t induces him
to reha affiliate at great length the
doubtful private reputation Of the Red
Prince. and last, but not least to rob
Won Room Of all his glory In order that
william ! may be made 10 appear as
the real founder Of the German Empire
through the efficiency Of the\ army that
Moltke led IN the service Of Bismarcks
craftsmanship. On the other hand, the
author strongly neglects Frederick the
Greats scarcely less brilliant brother,
both in war and in craftsmanship,
Prince Henry Of Prussia.
And yet, even without blinking the
weaknesses and inefiiciency Of many Of
the Hohenzollerns, there remains enough
