An Artists Struggle for Fame
Marie Van Vorst's Novel Describes New York of
The Past Generation

I our modern literature it appears as
calm, as leisurely, as devoid of strident
and raucous elements as the horse car
which Fairfax took might seem in COM
parison with the East Side subway
The novel is by no means devoid of
its dramatic and exciting and pathetic
passages; but the author never brings
matters to a point of desperation; and
the reader is always reasonably certain
that the hero will make success OF his
art and marry his bewitching cousin
in the end. Antony Fairfax, young
Southern sculptor. comes to New York
with high ambitions and meets with
succession of Establishments. An
uncle upon whose friendship and hos
pitaity he had relied turns out to be
conceited boor, whose ideal IN life
is strictly limited to the getting and
saving of money.
Fairfax goes to work for Cedersholm
a noted sculptor, who exploits him in
the most INSCRIPTIONS manner, bene-
fitting by his work and refusing to pay
MINI or give MN ANY CIeuit 1Ot I've AA'
experience with Cedersholm, combined
with rebuff at his uncle's house and
his utter lack of funds, drives Fair
fax to leave New York, and to go on a
railroad upo state. For a time he has
nothing to do with art. He rises in
his work and marries an ignorant but
devoted girl who nursed him through
dangerous illness.
Then the old yearning for creative ef-
fort comes over him; he neglects his
wife and begins to employ all his spare
time in modelling His wife dies and
providential legacy from friend en-
ables him to go to Paris and achieve his
big success. And so he is able to re-
turn and marry his cousin, Bella.
who has appeared at intervals through
out the book as a sprightly and charm
ing figure.
= The author gives a convincing de-
scription of a time when life moved
at lower tempo, when there was a
sharper distinction between those who
are gentlemen" and those who are not,
when the chief function of women in
comfortable circumstances was to do
nothing amiably. Booth FairfaX's S
charming, futile mother and his equally
charming and even more futile aunt
would appear strangely out of place in
present day environment.
The ease and polish of Miss Van
Norst's style entitle her to a place of
distinction among contemporary fiction
writer's "Fairfax and His Pride" stands
out as one Of the best of the crop of
spring novels.

Novel of Early New York Comes With the Early Seas

Heart-deep to loose my blood and take my

Pain would be good and suffering seem
sweet
But keep your love tor those who still love
And do not feed me who am starved to

the shadow of some poignant expert

note in "The Misers":

somewhat exposed to the elements, is
neatly dubbed "Outside Inn"
The principal characters in the model
restaurant are calories. They bob up
in all the foods served there. 1t is
doubtful whether such deft, clean-cut
character sketches Of calories, such
sympathetic delineations of their little
ways, have ever before appeared in
fiction. Nancy is so deeply interested
in the proper number of calorles which
people should assimilate daily that she
instructs her staff to prescribe diets
for her customers. Fat customers can t
have things which thin ones can COB
Bile with impunity, and vice versa. And
she is rewarded by seeing fat crs-
toners become sylphlike, thin Gus
toners globular.
Then she falls in love with an artist
who has lived long time in Paris
and has never found any cuisine in bar
barous New York to compare with that
of "Outsde Inn" After the romance
has progressed to boiling point, Nancy
suddenly discovers that the artist has
a wife. He, having become saturated
with the Latin Quarter point Of view
can't see why she gets SO perturbed
about such trife. He had never
meant to marry her anyway. he points
out; he just loved her madly. For
tunately, Nancy, ever since page 1,
chapter /, has had devoted admirer,
who totes her around in Limousine
and once actually takes her to Stam-
ford, Conn, in the hope that she
will consent to Gretna Green
marriage. She consoles herself with
him. Thcrcupon, the reader is left to
infer. Nancy can no longer put =
getting her annoying fifty thousand a
year, and the calories fade out of her
life simultaneously with the memory
of that altogether too Partisan artist.
The book is published by the Bobbs-
Merrill Company.

T HE heroine of "Outside Inn," by
Ethel NJ. Kelley, is a charming


Ethel NJ. Kelley, is a charming
young person called Nancy, who
is discovered on page l in a truly
awful fix. The poor girl has just dis
covered that she has inherited from a
Grabbed old uncle an estate worth fifty
thousand year! She is horribly put
out about it; it knocks all her little
plans galley-west Fancy having to
bother with fifty thousand a year when
you have just made arrangements for
earning modest living as. the proprie-
tress of model restaurant, Could
anything be more annoying? Wouldn't
you be frightfully vexed if such a
thing happened to you? Thus the
author cleverly enlists at the very
start the readers sympathy for the
hapless heroine, victimized by de-
signing old uncle!
However, the red tape of the law
will not allow Nancy to come into her
uncle's fortune. until two years after
his death, so she is free to be as poor
as ever until then. Ha. The old man is
partially circumvented anyhow! Nancy
proceeds with her darling project and
opens up her restaurant. which. be-
cause it is in New York back yard
