Novels by Mrs. Wharton and Mrs. Burnett

There is not much of the actual oc-
currences-one air raid, that has its
effect on the story, is described. but
only briefly. Yet the feeling of the
war, the reactions it caused. these
are powerfully conveyed. 1t is as
well that every now and then we
should have these matters recalled
to our consciousness. People forget
too soon. too easily, especially peo-
pie like ours, who were but lightly
touched by the horror. Another time
it might be We who bore the full
brunt, as France and England bore
it through the years from 1914 to
1918. Let us look on these pictures.

to-day; she is timeless. A woman
child, filled to the brim with capac-
| ity to love and with all the single
ness of heart and mind that a long
if almost unconscious absorption in
a memory had bestowed. Robin
knows nothing at all of the thou
sand interests and convictions that
young womanhood the world over
was experiencing during the years
Immediately preceding the war.
She knew no young people, for that
matter. Completely isolated by the
facts OF her mothers existence and
by that mothers hatred of the child
she never wanted, she lived in a
world made up of dreams and
fancies and memory; memory of
the one real human contact that
had ever come TO her.
Mrs. Burnett delights In a situa-
ton that will allow romance an un-
troubled sway. There is a toucn
Of the rainbow in any atmosphere
she creates, and unlike Words
worth's unhappy youth, she travels
daily nearer to the East, not farther
from it. In Robin she has a heroine
whose story is the most romantic
Of any she has ever told: romantic
without strain or affectation, ex-
quisitely and convincingly romantic.
The passionate days of love, the
equally passionate nights of sorrow,
when wars grim finger has
smooched the happiness away with
his bloody thumb. the half-mystic
time Of recovery. All is very beau
tifully written. Robin Is more child
than woman, in years as well as in
her outlook, but there is character
there too. A child who never thinks
first Of herself and who holds fast
to the vision she has of life's mean
ings through whatever cataclysms.
Robin is curiously moving and ef-
fective, even though she does to the
end retain her quality of unearthii-
ness.
The background of war as il af-
fected London and England gen.
orally, as it touched the many who
stayed behind through the many
who had gone to the front. Mrs. Bur-
nett writes of all this with an inten-
sity that shows how deeply she her
self felt the tremendous experience.

wife of an artist, is a delightful
sketch. But it is Susy and Susy's
dolorous march toward the heights
that make the book the poignant and
masterful thing it is. Not a careless
paragraph mars the workmanship,
but the spirit of the book is so fine
that you lose sight of the perfection
of its details-and this has not al
ways been true of Mrs. Wharton's
work. She grows with each novel
she writes, and she never presumes
on her vogue, on the security of her
position in American letters, to
scamp what she does. She is the

TN robin" Mrs. Burnett has taken
up her story of THE Head Of
the House of Coombe" at the
precise point where it ended in the
earlier volume. But this second
part of her book is cast in far SIM
pier mold than the Introductory half.
Feather, the light and Immoral hero
inc of the first book, has practically
disappeared; we catch only a mo-
mentary glimpse or two OF her. And

in her also disappears. Lord Coombe
remains. but it is a chastened mar

expression Of the taste and feeling
of their time, is for the moment at
least. swept away. Life is back to its
elements. it is immensely simplified
in all its relations and tasks. Its
amusements have ceased to be.
Above all, this book is a love story,
the love story of Robin and Donal,
who had met so long ago. when she
was but a little thing of five, in the
London Gardens where both played,
and who had been so suddenly and
cruelty separated by Donars mother,
who had no mind that her son, heri-
tor of the great Coombe name, should
become in any manner involved with
the daughter of that Feather who
was commonly supposed to be
Coombe's mistress. The parting had
wrenched both children with a sur
prising force; and when, as man and
maid, they meet again, love was
merely waiting in both young hearts
Amid the thunderings of a world
falling to pieces they walk hand in
hand, lost in the bliss of each others
presence, divinely happy for the little
space OF time that is given them,
breathless under the urge of life that
feels the breath of doom upon il.
And then the doom falls.
Mrs. Burnett has depicted this
season OF young love with a really
poignant charm. In Robin she has

who gives once and for all every
thing she has. After her strange
