Other Fiction.

Among the very few novels that may
with truth be designated human docu-
nients," is to be found Mary S. Wattss
latest book, The Rise of Jennie Cush-
ing" (Macmillan) The story is very
long. but, because or its literary work

quality, II is not too long. 1t is not
q book TO be skinned lightly; II is too
big, but an attentive perusal Will more
than repay the reader, for The Rise
OF Jennie Cushing" is distinctly Of the
worth while class. For the first time
Mrs. Watts has entered the field of fic-
ton in which such novels as "Sistcr
Carrie" and Jennie Gerha rtlt" are con-
SpicuouS. but her art has successfully
borne her through that new field rs It
has borne her through all that she has
rtraVcrSed. The heroine of her story, or

SAINT with evil, since "Gramma" with
whom she lives, is Il most disrcputable
old creature. indeed. AS 4 matter Of
fact. 1t is not even certain that Jennics
name is Gushing. She has lived in
many cities, but in similar neiEhbor-
hoods in all of them. Yet 1t is appar-
ent that she has an innate purity and
love of beauty, which set her far above
her surroundings, even as child. And
when she is sent to n reform school,
She manages to retain these. Later,
she engages in several occupations, in

fact. the story gives rather improb-
able account OF the shock felt by u
fully grown girl when she IL made to
understand what marriage means She
breaks her engagement and deserts
her people, going to London to live
on her own There, she discovers that
one of her friends Is leading a life
most alphabetically described as cir
regular" but oven that discovery does
not alter her determination. She be-
comes engaged to still another man,
but. when sordid tragedy occurs In
which her irregular friend Is one OF
the actors. she Is led by her heart to
complete understanding of what
love is-for yet another man-and
under the impression that the girl
will find happiness with the third man
after all.
Kate Trimble Sharper's short novel,
Amazing Grace" (Bobbs- MerrilN,
takes Its title from tho unexpectedness
of Its heroine, Grace, who is n scion
OF an old Southern family and by way
or being newspaper woman. She is
usually assigned by the managing edi-
tor to write events somewhat out of
the ordinary. SO when meeting of
the Daughters of the Revolution is
held. she Is told off to cover 1t. Where
isN the hero. Their love affair Is
doubtless supposed to constitute the
chief interest of the little story, but
1t is dead and gone affair that takes
Amazing Grace" n bit out of the
beaten path of conventional romance.
The heroine has inherited n lot of let
tcrs that passed between one OF her
ancestors, famous painter, and an
English woman of high degree, many
years ago. According to the premises,
the whole world knows Of the affair
1t seems to have been n bit of history
and she Is urged to make n book of
the letters. Her struggle between her
delicacy of feeling and her desire to
make money permits the introduction
of several pages that are out of tho
ordinary in q story of this general
character. The book Is written in a
sprightly style and makes pleasant, If
unexciting. reading for an hour or
