Mrs. Wharton's Study of the
Enduring Qualities in Marriage

lGUSTAVE FLAUBERT sought to
~ produce by his style the effect pro-
duced by a painter. On one occasion
he explained: "When writing a story
! wish to convey color, a shade. In
Madame Bovary' had only tho idea
or tone. Of the moldy color Of the
life Of a wood-louse."
Joseph Hergesheimer, whether DELHI
erately or not do not know, produces
color enects so gorgeous that they Of
fend some readers of quiet tastes. And
no one who senses such things can be
unaware of the effect Of color in Mrs.
Wharton's finely wrought prose. do
not suppose, however, that she delib-
erately chooses the tone or shade Of q
novel that she Is writing as Flaubert
chose the moldy color Of the life of a
wood -lousc for Madame Bovary."
At any rate there is not single color
scheme for her latest novel, "The
Glimpses Of the Moon" (Appleton &
co.,. The first part is a warm rose
and the last part is still rose colored,
but slightly faded. And the middle is
moldy, not like the life Of wood =
louise, but like the processes Of decay.
The publishers say that It is the finest
thing that Mrs. Wharton has done !:
but the latest novel is always the finest
from the publishers point Of view.
The rest of us are under no compulsion
to adjust our judgment to the ext
gencies OF craftsmanship. It Is enough
to say that everything that Mrs. Whar-
ton writes is worth while, but in vary.
ing degrees. She has written nothing
more perfect, artistically or psycholog-
ically, than Ethan Frome." And
many will insist that The House Of
Mirth" is her best long novel. "The
Glimpses Of the Moon" is shorter than
'The House Of Mirth' and its plan is
less complicated.
