this being an annual picnic day of

bers and guests at her camp at

were Mr.. and Mrs. Alton P. Royal
and Mrs. George S. Brookes of Ellis

Harbor and John ]. Somes of Mt.
Desert. Jordan pond never looked
prettier than viewed from the
large music room where the table
was spread. A merry party sur
rounded the table and delicious
dinner was served by the hostess.
Mrs. Adelma JOY, president OF the
club, was toast-master. Mrs. Royal,
Mrs. Hagerthy and Mrs. Kelley
responded with clever toasts. Mrs.
C. w. Yeaton of Bar Harbor was un-
able to be present, so sent her re-
grets and the following toast, which
was read by Mrs. Hill:
Here's to the man in whose memory
we meet,
Who first had the courage to sail Ger
the deep.
Columbus, the wise, the brave and the
strong.
Who revealed to mankind a world hid
den so long.
And here's to that country, now lead
ing the world,
Where all find a home meath our ban
ner unfurled,
Where women are honored and held in
esteem
And who, in the future, our country's
wrongs will redeem.
And here's to our hostess, woman
most rare,
Who gives to worthy objects her in
finite care.
Club woman bright, who in Congress
should be,
For there she is needed, you all plainly
So Wen drink to our hostess, who
some day, I know
Like Columbus of cid pathway will
show
To new worlds of victory and peace of
our land
When in the halls of Congress she
takes up her stand.
A rising vote of thanks was given
Mrs. McIntire, and she responded
graciously, after which the group

and if they do not quite squeak and
gibber their voices have no reso-
nance. But, let us hasten to add. if
there were not Dickens himself in
eyitably in the background, the story
would do very well.
But he is there, and if he could
find an adequate medium ono sus-
poets he might, sometimes. become
a minatory spook; fiattered, of
course, but not wholly pleased with
the result. Here is a fine chance for
some of the spiritualist authors to
call up Dickens on the.: long dis
tance astral telephone and elicit a
definite judgment However he may
feel about it, he really can't help
himself. And the many readers who
approve will certainly agree that If
any of Dickens offers q good field
for such a continuation il is Our
Mutual Friend" As Sir Harry
points out, it was the most modern
in setting, beginning about 1860 and
ending some four years later. He
adds:
AT that period John Harmon and
Bella, Sophron!a. Alfred Lammle and
Georgy Podsnap were more or less
al the beginning of their careers, al
the opening of their great life ex-
periences. 1t was an irresistible
temptation to me TO consider how
they might have developed. wha'
pursuits they would have followed
and with what results"
The results are various, but not
always a logical or plausibly natura
outcome of the foundations laid by
, their original creator. Sophronia, a:
might reasonably be expected, turns

marry her when he loves another
woman is also unthinkable.
These people are good people.
They want to do what is best, and
they want the happiness OF the 9TH
ers rather than their own TO prevail.
But happiness is the least control
liable of all possessions.
There are other threads to the
story. There is Fred, the younger
brother of the hero, and Fred is a
trouble. He doesn't like work very
much, and he likes a good time al
together too much. There is Lucre-
tias husband. but he dies early in
the book. having appeared merely as
a cranky, selfish invalid. There are
friends coming and going, and some
money complications. But the main
thing is this question of which road
to take, of who it is that must suffer,
and it is Stephen. Mimi and Lucretia

ly believes that it has; but there
you are
The crux of this book is the love
of a man for two women. One is the
lovely girl whose voice is the first to
be heard in that small group; she
has grown up under his eyes, his
ward. Mimi, a delightful little crea-
ture, gentle, affectionate, merry, with
her heart quite given into Stephens
keeping long before he makes her
radiant by asking her to marry him.
The other is Lucretia herself. With
Mimi it is the love of the big brother
turned to a deeper quality by pro-
pinquity, by her own sweet devotion,
by the quality of protection and
chivalry that go into Stephen
makeup Everybody concerned is SO
happy at the engagement, everything
presses toward it, and Stephen has
never known real love, nor even
thought about it. With Lucretia
comes the flame and the marvel, life
runs TO magic, and the man knows

istence without doubt or escape.

parallel lines. He brings the compii-
Gated narrative down well into this
century, and the latter part of the
book, treating of the Veneering de-
scendants and other newcomers. is
much more interesting than the Sec
tions more closely hitchee to Dick
ems.
AS a sample of some transforma-
tions there is the case of the Dolls
Dressmaker." We learn that in 1865
she married Slopey, the great han
porter of Mincing Lane" ana that
although still something of a cripple
surgery of dawning cleverness had
done much to remedy her lameness."
She has two sons, one OF whom
grows up to become second Iootindn
at Chacely, the other a junior par
cells clerk in Mincing Lane. We
hear that Fanny still had cutting
tongue and the servants trembled a
I little at her visits She had
grown plumper and a little taller
than in pre-marriage days
Nowadays she never dressed dolls
Frankly, we should have preferred to
leave her as Dickens left her
Still, granting that it was TO be
done at all, Sir Harry has made
a solid, substantial job of it in a
book that has not a little intrinsic
interest of it's own, though il never
fully emerges from the greater
shadow behind it that persists il
making it seem somethir of a dis
tortion.
