NTRS. VAN KLEEK was a grossly
1V1 improper woman who was,
nevertheless, a stickler for the
prophecies.
Her hotel was the only one in the
South Pacific seaport, and she was
famous as the woman who had more
than any one else on the Pacific
This lady, who kept her figure
when she was IS, and smoked cigars
necessarily, appears in Mrs. Van
Kleek," a brittle and entertaining
novel by Elinor Mordaunt.
At the beginning, we find Mrs
Van Kleek an imperturbable and
Interchangeable person, supremely
confident that she can control any
situation that life can bring her
for she always has, in the past.
But the runaway wife of a mis-
sionary comes to her for shelter, and
before she gets through Mrs. Van
Kleek finds that life isn't so easily
managed, after all.
The missionary comes after his
wife. Mrs. Van Kleek discovers
that he is her own son, whom she
abandoned some forty years ago.
The plague hits the seaport the
missionary performs prodigies of
bravery fighting it and at last dies
of it, his wandering wife prepares
to marry a young British subaltern
and Mrs. Van Kleek, who hasn't
managed any of this as she planned
to, realizes that she is old, lonely,
and less wise than she had sup
posed.
