The Book Factory

Of Chicago trust company Any one
who has read the road-to-success ar
ticles in the newspapers and uplift
magazines knows that the country boy
who rises to eminence does so step by
step. His first job in the bank is that
of assistant to the janitor. He oc-
cupies this office for two or three
years and is only promoted when, in
an inspired moment he revolutionizes
the method of cleaning the bank by
suggesting the introduction of mops to
take the place of dust-raising brooms.
THAT boy has good stuff in him.
says the president of the bank, and
the lad is advanced to the post of office
boy.
after a successful three or four
years administration as office boy he
is made third assistant bookkeeper.
His rise is not meteoric. He never
earns a promotion in less than two
years. 1t takes him thirty years to
become president of the bank. The
trouble with 'Begbe the Brilliant is
that the hero becomes president of the
National Bank of the Western Hemi-
sphere in three years, two months and
fourteen days. This is too radical a
departure, as I have already hinted,
from the way things happen in Forge

Long Lost Lover
Bound to Return
IMPRUDENCE. BY F. f. Mills Young.
George II. Doran Company.

lMIRUDENCE. by +, Il. NILS Young.
George H. Doran Company.
In this novel there is reminder of
the situation that Sinclair Lewis has
made famous in Main Street" On a
less carefully painted canvas. with less
skilful character delineations and
consequently with considerably less
success. +. e. Mills Young attacks a
problem essentially similar to that Of
Main Street" A young girl. vivacious
and overfiowing with life, is held as in
vice by the cramping influence of
provincial society and by the middle
aged dulness and sterilizing respecta-
bility of her relations, of her prim and
Puritanical sisters, of her pompous and
hypocritical brother and of her affec
tionate but misunderstanding father.
As the only available means of escape
she consents to marry a middle aged
manufacturer; but she finds when too
late that she has merely exchanged
one form of slavery for another and
has passed from a dull existence into
one even duller and more devoid Of
outlook. On the whole the story is
told convincingly, but here and there
one cannot help wishing the author
had elaborated a little more, so as to
develop more plausibly the motives Of
the characters.
While the book as a whole is af.
fectively realistic. it is to be regretted
that the author has not excluded Ill
trace of the sentimental and the melo-
dramatic. When will the lover, seen
FOR but day and unheard Of for
seven years Thereafter, cease to put
in his appearance in the novel? F. ID.
Mills Young makes an appalling de-
mand on the credulity of the reader
by introducing a certain Philip Steele,
who engages In youthful filtration
with the heroine, passes out of her
life for years, returns suddenly out
Of clear sky-at least, il 1t isn't from
the sky, one isn't sure where he does
come from-and makes passionate love
to his former acquaintance, vowiug
eternal devotion. and swearing that in
all the years that have passed he mas
never forgotten her.

twenty-four hours than to any other
heroine of fiction in a lifetime.
The Sinr F'einers are making a big
racket just now, so Clancy is given a
bit OF Celtic blood. and when she is in
peril her Irish courage or her Irish
resourcefulness or Irish humor always
aids her. As Is becoming IN the hero
inc OF story of this kind. she owes
nothing TO the Yankee stock. In his
picture Of society the author points
the moral that society people ain't no
different from nobody else, but he
fatty contradicts himself and shows
the snobbery Of his attitude In the
final chapter, whore the real MUIR

from visit to Wyoming, where she
has spent her days in the saddle and
enjoyed some exciting pioneer expert

We are looking forward with inter-

where she had those exciting expert

Not the least disappointing phase
OF our trip was the failure OF the
cowpunchers to use the language Of
Western fiction. A bucking horse was
called a buclsing horse. We had been
led to believe that the proper phrase
was "ornery critter." And not once
were we referred to as a tenderfoot.
