THE OLD SOUTH AGAIN.

KENNEDY SQUARE BY T. Hopknson
Smith. Illustrated by A. J. Keller.
12mo pp. 50i Charles Scrihner's Sons.
The aristoCratic traditions Of the ante
bclium South have been sufficiently in
sisted upon in our fiction during the last
ten years and more. Indeed there are
scoffers who claim that distance has lent
enchantment TO the view, that romance
has adorned facts here as it adorned the
realities of chivalry in the days Of an
earlier fctional fashion. Still, most of
II has been very good reading. and A
solace and qualification TO local pride.
It is to AIR. Hopkinson Smith himself
that We 6we one Of the most delightful
sketches Of the old Southern gentleman
at the hour Of his extinction, because
his portrait Of Colonel Carter of Car
tersville is touched with gentle, af-
fectionate. yet clear seeing and essen
italy modern humor.
Kennedy Square" is, first Of all and
all the time, still another full-length
picture Of this vanished type TO be added
to the long gallery. The story has its
romance. to be sure, but St George VIII
mot Temple alone can make the fortune
Of the book. He is Colonel Carriers
senior by fully thirty years; he has
reached "the youth Of old age" In the
days Of Henry Clay and the Mexican
War. In the sleepy little town Of which
Kennedy Square is the social centre st.
George Temple is the glass Of fashion
and the mould Of form for the younger
generation. which he loves while disap-
proving many Of its modern ways He
is the supreme authority on questions
Of honor, the code and social usage. as
well as on vintages and the proper or
dering Of dinner and the dainty par
taking thereof. He has fastidiously
dawdled through his patrimony, an orna-
mental and useless aristocrat, who help
lessly resigns himself into the hands Of
his social interiors when the time comes
TO stave off financial disaster.
Throughout the author indicates that
even in those days the beginning of the
end of this old regime was already dis
cernible. He points the lesson through
the younger generation, which no longer
could carry it's liquor as gentleman
should. but which also was ready 10 fend
for itself in the modern American way
when occasion demanded it. The at
mosphere Of time and place is aliuringly
drawn. but, through much repetition, 1t
has lost some OF its social charm and
looks decidedly artificial, r0ulu. There is
even a suggestion Of postichc in these
pages, but that is unavoidable in the

contrary. they are talks with men and
women whose business is not with lit

the lot of so many. The best. the wisest
employment for this daily oasis of rest
ne finds in carefully planned reading, for
he argues, a half hour day even
amounts to many hours in year, 10
many DAYS of profitable enjoyment in

teacher: he has no list of best books

and guides IN his own hours OF bereave-
