A TALE THAT WE QUESTION
BUT THAT WE READ

f.. Phillips ~Oppenheim in his story
Of The Way Of These Women" (Lht-
tie, Brown and Company, Boston) pic
lures sharply for us qualities that are
a woman who marries a man against
his will and against the will OF
the woman whom he wishes to
marry. The way of the scheming
woman Is accomplished by means that
are interesting rather than believable.
At every page the reader feels how
easily the fiction may be blown away,
still the novelist has power in these
matters, and his word Is potent. 1t is
a way OF being interesting to excite
the reader to q rebellious frame OF
mind: to carry him along, II We may
say 80. with his fist and his teeth
clenched, ready to leap upon the stage
and deliver the oppressed heroine.
The more easily II car he done the
more eager Is the desire. and here
there is great provocation for inter-
ference.
The skill Is hero that builds a
plot. that furnishes surprise. The
murdered Marquis of Lakenham
stretched out on the billiard room
floor grips the throat of the reader
Notwithstanding the obviously inopera-
tive condition OF the Marquis. Who
killed him? What reader. until he has
got pages further along, will explain
the testimony OF the heroine to the

mitted ourselves to give way to the
Impulse of estimate and comparison
we should say that dramatically he
was worth ten of her. Still it Is easy
for us to be diverted by the skilful
unfolding OF the heroine's unusual
character. DO We wish that she had
been less unselfish and more resent
