against the deep sewer. are tacitly in
favor of it. The opposition believes
that it already has made sufficient
showing with five hundred or less

ranks, who admit that nothing less

front each other in the remarkable situa-
tion of relatives by marriage, which these
two matches will create, things loon
rather complicated. Secret meetings, a
word. a look between them is sufficient
to put young owen on his guard and in

his fancee is about to leave his mother s
house. where she has been installed as
governess for little Effie Leath, he flies
into a tantrum and tells his mother all
he has seen and knows about Darrow and
Sophy.
The situation is crucial and one of the
most pathetic scenes pictured in the book
is Mrs Wharton's description of the fear
full awful struggle that poor Anna Leath
passed through when she discovers that
the man she loves has done this abomi-
nable thing and has come to her appar-
emily with clean conscience.
The pathos. the rude awakening. the
sadness of heart the distrust, after all
the wears of waiting and longing for her
girlhood sweetheart, almost breaks Anna S
heart and Darrow realizes thot oughly the
mart he has played in the lives of the
two women
The story is tremendously big and is

"THE REEF"
BY Edith Wharton. d. Appleton & Com
pany, New York
Mrs. Edith Wharton again beams upon
the literary horizon with one of her we'll
rounded novels--this time 1.-THE Reef. .
in which plot and incident alike are salts
factory and in which the dialogue Is at
once brilliantly epigramatic and origi-
nally didactic.
1.-The Reef ranks next to Mrs whar-
toms THE House of Mirth" from every
point of view. THE House of Mirth,
being her masterpiece and THE Reef
a close second.
Mrs. Wharton has the rare gift of in
sight into human hearts and human emo
tions and there is not writer today who
is as dashing, as exquisitely refined and
as sensitively alert to detail as Mrs.
Wharton.
The story of 1.-THE Reef centers about
quartet of people. Anna Leath, a widow.
and her stepson, Owen Leath; George
Darrow and Sophia Viner.
Madame de Chantelle Is another char
acter, very amusing old style French
woman, who has the most enchanting
way of expressing her views, and while
only minor character IN the book. is
exceedingly clever.
Miss Adelaide Painter, Madame d.
Chantelle's friend. is another very UNIQUE
character.
About the quartet a most unusual enj-
sode is drawn.
The widow, Anna Leath and caorro
Darrow are about to be married. while
the widows stepson. Owen Leath ana
Sophia Viner simultaneously with the
older couple announce their engagement
Darrow and Sophy viner unfortunate telv
have had a little excursion--an advent,,r,
"a mere episode. "a madness, as those
things always are,'' is the way Darrow
