There are romance and sentiment and ac tion, as lu-tlts a novel meant to divert ; also, there Is some Interesting and valid psy chology, mainly feminine. The maid of the plot Is an unlettered cam-free, untumid child of nature, whose lack of till that bespeaks culture and reticence Is exceeded only by her raru beauty of tawny ha r, passion-slumberous eyes, striking faco and figure. Her beauty Is ex tie and so Is her temperament: she Is called a wild and flaming orchid. The man Is of antipodal tjpo, of high breeding of personal distinc tion, of cnuuled experience In the world and Its affairs, he Itf nle, agnostic, disillu sioned, a lilt callous and hard, all epigram- inntlst of phrase and philosophy, jet lovo us well as opuleni'o attends his romance with the wild orchid But their Ill-matched mating Is - tar-crossed.

There aio banal passages that every writer must be charged with when his pro lixity exceeds his passion But as a wholo his work Justifies Itself In rondeau, sonnet and tercet be sings the familiar song of love, of regret and of the gods. Tho test of a'l poetry is surely this that tho poet must convince us that he believes In hero ines.
