human probabilities beyond it. I can recall no English novel in which the study of temperament and character is carried farther or deeper, allowing for what the people are, and do not remember a false or mistaken line or color in it. For any thing to equal it, we must go to the Slavs, in such triumphs of their \natur- alness as Tourguenieffs Smoke The French stories are conventional in their naturalism beside it.
 To M. Maurice Hewlett falls the hapTy lot of introducing" MT.

 q myself" says MT Hewlett, lam one of Cynthias victims, and l am sure MT Merrick is another. He sketches her with admirable reticence in the begin ming, where she is shown to us as very little more than a pretty, girl His strokes are few and sure, but she grows from chapter to chapter, and at the end after the tragic crisis she sweeps onward to the sentimental crisis, which crowns the story of her married life with dig nity and grave beauty which justify a belief in Hestia, even now when modern testimony and practice alike are against such a belief She Is one of MT. Merrick's love1iest women, and he has made many lovely women"
 No more delightful reading can be rec commended than these three books of MT. Merrick's with their charming "introduc- tions," equally as clever and delightful as the books themselves; each distin- guished 'introducer'' declaring that his "debutante' is the cleverest thing that Mir Merrick has ever written. This Is quite natural since one couldn't expect such people as H. G. Wells, who by the way writes the introduction" to another of Mir Merrick's books, "The Quaint Com panions' (which I haven't as yet read, but mean to), and Gilbert K. Cheserton, who "introduces'' us to "The House of

 | which have "come my way during I the last few weeks; they are three
 novels by Leonard Merrick, Conrad in
 Search of His Youth "The Actor Man
 ager" and Cynthia" all three of which
 are simply delicsously refreshing and l readable.
 | l may as we'll tell you just here that
 in addition to the charm of MT Mer- | ricks novels, there is an "introductlon | to each of his books by some noted au- | thor, for be it known that this edition of Merricll's works is known as The Au- | thor's Edition,'' tribute such as never before has been paid to a living writer his contemporaries fairly falling over l themselves" so to speak, in their desire to join in the honor of writing the pre- 1 faces"

 Of all the authors who could have been chosen to write the introduction to Conrad in Quest of His Youth" the honor should have fallen just where 1t did. upon the author of sentimental Tommy" Tommy and Grizzle, The Little White Bird" and the other innum- erable pastels" from the pen of this mar vellous author whom every one loves, and there is one who could understand
 more poignantly and more completely the quest which Conrad made "the best sen- t;mental journey that has been written
 in this country since the publication d
 another one" a journal so full of sur
 prises of unexpected incidents and gayety
 just tinged with sadness, which IS In
 truth "the old woe O the world!'
 I heartily agree with MT Barrie when
 he says of MT. Merrick's Conrad Tn
 Quest of Youth" that "it is as fresh as
 yesterdays shower" a story or whose
 ending one is quite uncertain until the
 very last paragraph is reached.
 This uncertainty ea Sir James Barrie
 points out, 'is the object and ambition

the theme of the stories told in the three Merrick novels but I do want to say this of ''Conrad in Search of His Youth, and that is, that nothing more exquisite or more delightful has ever beer penned than this human, appealing story; noth- ing more subtle has ever been written than the "denouement" of the little love story when the lovely lady leaves note for the old sweetheart with the sim pie words;
