"Twilight" n Remarkable De-
pcent Into the Depths
Plumbed by Opium
Dreamer
OTHER NEW
FICTION
'Twilight" (Dodd. Mead ft Co., New
York), by tho late Mrs Frankau (rmnlt
Danby-). la a lovo story developed In nn
Interesting nnd somowhat unique manner.
Not since Do Qulneey wrote tho "Confes
sions of an Opium Eater" and Coleridge
transliterated "Kubla Khan" ns the result
of n dream popularly supposed to havo
followed use of n. tiai rotlc has the method
of transcribing the happenings of tho 'twi
light xone" of the metaphysical been so
nucccssfully employed tlnus'.i many writ
ers have essayed the device of visions
under tho Influence of morphia.
Th.e drama In the present story la a
blend of such visions and the Impressions
derived from a series of old love letters
found In nn English mansion, to which a
woman hovellst, addicted to Boothlns drugs
as nn nnodyno for wrecked nerves, has
resorted for a rest cure. A London pub
lisher, a physician nnd a young, beautiful,
talented and wealthy girl nre tho figures
of tho Btrnnge romance, nnd tne woman
novelist lo tho agency of tho narrative, her
story In Itself being curious nnd weird.
Mrs. 1'Vank.iu may bo said to have
transfigured her own Impressions t'.m.us'.i
tho pcfconallty of the woman novellct, ns
for a year prior to hiSr very recent death
Bho was obliged to seek the solaci i f nar
cotics for her keen nervous suffering.
The- lovo letters used In the story nro liald
to have bien written by a young literary
woman of London, a friend of Mrs.
Frankau.
"Adam and Ee and a Garden Why
Goodness only Knows tho Rest."
This Is tho caption under H. Weston
Taylor's beautifully colored frontispiece
to Nina Wilcox Putnam's novel of broad
humanity and optimistic outlook, "Adam'a
Garden," J, B. Llpplncott Company, Phila
delphia. The reader will want to bo in tho posi
tion of "goodness." nnd attain full knowl
edge, after viewing the frontlsplcco and
reading the first chapter of this Interesting
and well-written- story. Fancy n young
man who owns a suit of evening clothes,
a hurdy-gurdy and the memory of having
squandered a small fortune. Fancy hla
plight when his Income Is cut off and liiii
hurdy-gurdy Is stolen. Well, Adam has
Btrong arms, regret for riotous U ing,
willingness to wprk and tho hope of Uvo.
How his redemption is wrought through
tho unique medium of gardening an u
vacant city lot and how Eve enters nnd
dominates his life form tho substance nf
one of tho season's most attractive works
of Action. Tho characterization Is keen
and tho plot clever. And the humor Is
genuinely human.
If one crave detail "Drifting Waters,"
by Rachel McNnmara (O P. Putnam's
Sons, Now York), will satisfy. In fact
there Is danger. of surfeit to even tho
most exacting. For instance, "He took
her by tho arm helped her into the taxi,
occupied the seat beside her and they
drove off." scarcely leaves aught for the
Imagination.
The story Is Impossible. It Is of the
revolt of a young girl from tho Jealous
love of an embittered mother, a secret
marriage, misunderstanding, nnd then tho
working out of the complications, which,
however, almost redeem tho tale. Tho
descriptions of Egypt's - deserts will
scarcely mnlio Robert IJlchena jealous.
"Babette," by F. Berkley Smith. (Dou
bleday, Pnge & Co.. Garden City, N. Y.),
Is a. dainty French romance. A beautiful
maiden nnd the cleverest thief In all
France are the leading characters through
out the story. Raveau, alias I'avln, as
the gentleman was known to tlu French
police, after marrying tho herol:.e, Babette,
attempts to bury his past, kno.'. ng what
a cruel blow It would be to his little
wife, she who thought him everything
good and kind. If she were to discover
the darkness of hlB past. Does he suc
ceed? Mr. Smith answers the question
In a very Interesting manner.
The celebrated "F. P. A." has admitted
for yearai that he has been much de
pressed. He acknowledged that he didn't
"get" Conrad at all. At times he has
denounced the man and all his works.
But the day has come. F. P. A. has been
floored, converted. Recently from "The
Conning Tower" came a sound of singing,
and the words of this chant were these:
Well, we have iust finished "Vic
tory," and It converted us. We are
now a Conrad fan :-4nd llke""rnost new
concerts to any cause, we can 'think
of little else. For a week or two we
are likely to bo as much of a nuisance
to Conrad-bllnd readers as others
have been to us In the days of our
Imperylousness.
One of the Important books soon to

William McKlnley," which will be pub
lished by the Houghton Mifflin Company
April 32. Other books to be published

WUIard Huntington Wright, the author
of "The. Man of Promise," was born In
this country of Dutch and French parents.
lie was educated both here and abroad and
has been actively engaged In literary work
all his life. He has been a critic of the
fine arts for many years and has made a
profound study of Continental literature.
His recent book was an aesthetic treatise
jm .modern painting; and a former work; of
Ills on the philosophy of Nietzsche has be
come a standard document Since hla re
turn from Europe, where he has lived for
caveral years, he has been the art critic
of the Forum. "The Man of Promise," his
flret navel, now in IU second edition, is
distinctly Continental both In treatment
and subject, and much of the book is laid
in Europe, where it was written.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH i
IN NEW MARTIN TALE I
In "Her Husband's Purse" i
Helen Reimensnyder Martin
Has Penetrating" Study
Helen Reimensnyder Mnrtln has writ
ten no more profound nnd pcnetratlnR
study of "Pennsylvania Dutch" customs
and characters than appears In "Her
Husband's Purse" (the Century Company.
New York). The qualntness. the "near
ness" and the diversity of this curiously
Isolated section of life stand out by con
trast with the typically Southern man
ners of Jlargaret, the heroine, "herself" of
the title. The holder of the purse Is not
to ba called a hero. How can one Justly
so describe a man who is aa parsimonious
as he Is rich, cultured and Interesting. He
Is a Harvard graduate and a pastor to
boot. Into his household comes the daugh
ter of the Southland, with Its bountlful
ness, Its cheerfulness. She Is a true
daughter of the South. The changes and
contrasts from her own home life to that
of the Ileltzel menage, with its literally
miser master and hln two dominating bis
ters, one Iron, grim, unloving and un
lovable, the other silly, with the romantic
fancies of 10 running riot through her 45-year-old
heart, afford Mrs. Martin capital
situations, rich In opportunities for com
edy and satire. But It Is all good-natured
and has a serious Implication underlying
the fun. Hy Indirection, too. there Is a
bit of social preachment on the legal
rights and due privileges of the wife In
domestic economy.
"John Bogardus" (The Century Com
pany. New York) Is not an Inferior piece
of Action, but It does not reach the
standard of story and characterization of
"Home." or of psychology and human In
terest of "Through Stained Glass,' 'the
two earlier works of George Agnew
Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain cannot do
poor work; his new novel maintains a ralr
level of plot, situation and character But
one feels he can do better work than this
(good as It would be for the average novel
ist): that he can scale heights and plumb
depths If he but takes more time. One
gains the impression that he is writing'
too much; that he does an Anthony Trol
lope dally "stint." And the result Is many
a. monotonous page,
"John Bogardus" takes the hero over
many lands, across many Beas, through
many experiences, emotional and psycho
logical. He Is a rebel against conven
tions, a tramp, a sailor, a farmer, a
scholar, a university professor. He loves
four women of wonderfully diverse types.
The gift of epigram and phrase-making,
characteristic of the author in his earlier
books. Is found again, page after page.
Geraldlne Bonner, known for her ad
mirable "California trilogy" and co.
authorship of several plays, lias with a
couple of volumes taken a high position
among writers of detective fiction. 'The
Girl at Central" was a very good story.
"The Black Eagle Slystery" (D. Appleton
4 Co., New York). Is a better If thrills are
reckoned numerically and Ingenuity of
plot is a criterion. Yet one hopes MJss
Bonner will not confine her great talent
as a novelist to detective literature, suc
cessful as she Is In the field. In this Held,
curiously enough, women writers have at
tained almost a hegemony. Witness Anna
Katharine Green, Carolyn Wells. Mary
Roberta Rlnebart
In "The Black Eagle Mystery" Miss
Bonner has employed a device by which
the dead man actually takes a prominent
part i ferreting out the murderer What
a is annot be divulged here. It Is not
etiquette for a reviewer to uncover the
oysttry to mystery sMrry. This one Is I
