r,aE PR1cE OF LOVE. !,


 By Arnold Bennett. Illustrated by c. F.
 Chambers Harper Brothers, Publish
 CTS. New York
 In "The Price of Love" Arnold Ben nett's genius seems to have reached it's happiest stage of development, and after reading this novel one cannot help won dering whether the author will ever. from all points of view, succeed quite so wei, again. In plot it is more closely knit than most of his previous novels; the story thrills with a fuller note of lyrical pas sion; 1t unites. with nearer approach to absolute perfection. those qualities so seldom even measurably reconcied- searching truth to human nature and a zestful, youthful appreciation of life and love.
 What first intrigues us in MT. Bennett's s story is. naturally enough, the wonder fully clear and persuavie realism with whlchhe represents outward things. What has been said of MT. Bennett's portrayal of material things Is true in a deeper and more subtle way of his treatment of character. The persons of his story have, like the people we know, certain marked and seizable traits; but they are also like the people Of the real world Tn that the1F characters cannot be summed up in sim pie formulas. Mrs. Maldon's pride in her room shines out in her nature with the same quiet effectiveness as does a pol ished brass fender in the room itself Rachel Fleckring tMrs. Maldon's com panon) is a splenddly vital, spotlessly fnnnocent young woman very much in love--love and the glamour of it are the dominant influences in her soul. Yet tenderly as she is described. she could not appeal to us so strongly as she does if she did not exhibit in all sorts of per fectly natural ways the endlessly inter esting variability and growth of a human personality. Thomas Batchgrew dhe old lady's trustee) might be briefly described as a bit of respectable old scoundrel, but no such description would begin to do justice to his hlimannness and to his po- tent Individuality. Julian, the crabhed grandnephew-a man of characteristic Five Towns imitations-plainly and amusingly poses as a person of rude power and decision, yet there is sone- thing in him that insensibly prepares us for the fine sincerity he shows in the lat ter part of the story. And how skllfully has the author managed the difficult usi- ness of so portraying the neer-do-well Louis that he seems neither conventional villain nor reclaimed sinner but true

 There is some information about the

 In the genealogy of the Boiling fam

This John Blair was graduate of William and Mary college and had prepared for the profession of law in the Temple, London. He was a member of the House of Burgesscs and a member of the Virginia convention. In 17SS Madison, Washington and this Jonn Blair were the Virginia signers oc the federal constitution. He is said to have been descended from brother of the "Commissioner James Blair, as are all fin Virginia except the descendants from the Rev. John Blair of Richmond"
 The Commissioner Blair was ccr'm's- sioner of the Bishop of London for Vir- gnia and came to this country in 1CSE after having withdrawn from Scotland 70 England for reliigous reasons. In 1892 he obtained from King William the charter | for William and Mary college. He died childdless at an advanced age and was buried in Jamestown. his heirs being hs nephews.

Criticism of a Weekly

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 The late Jacob A. Riis, the eminent so- ciologlst and author, was an ardent sup porter of Colonel Roosevelts. and 1t was in this connection that he once uttered a very cruel bon mot.
 On Colonel Roosevelt's last visit to London, 1t was rumored in American lit erary circles that he was to be honored with an invitation to one of Punch's fla nous weekly dinners-those dinners al which Thackeray and Du Maurier and Burnard and other notables sat down.
 But MT. Riis contradicted this rumor al a banquet in New York.
 Tt is not true, he said, that MT Punch is to entertain Colonel Roosevelt Mir. Punch never entertai1s anybody"

He places the notes in his pocket questionably intending to return them That night Mrs. Maiden is taken i'll, and Louis, holding the money in his hand, is surprised by Rachel Fleckring, who has come to send him for the doctor. Hastily crumpling the notes in his fingers, he drops them into the fireplace behind him, and later Rachel. lighting the fire, burns up fortune. Louis theft was not luite consummated; he is able to justify him. self. But when Rachel, after her mar riage to him, learns the truth, she finds his conduct too contemptible to be for given. Even the unexpected connnecfion of Julian with the second bundle of notes, which has also disappeared, serves but to make Louis see mmore despicable. Yet, in spite of all this. Rachel learns to pay the price of love-to take the good with the bad, to be reconciled to the worst and fight cheerfully for the best. ''The Price of Love- seems to be charac- terized by the strength and lightness, the vigor and assured skill, of a genius in its prime. No story from Mir. Bennett's pen has more of the stuff of life in 1t, and none is more exquiistely and pleas'irably written.
