It may be that the difference Is due to the difference In the atmosphere of the two places, but It is 'so marked that one cannot escape noticing II. "Cable belongs to the older genera tion of American novelists. His first book, 'Old Creole Days,' was published a year befo.e Poole was born. It was Instantly popular because of the fine ness of the spirit which breathed through Its pages. 'The' Flower of the Chapdelalnes' is also a gracious tale, kindly and friendly and humorous. It Is a love story told with sympathy and without the slightest suggestion of the sensuality that mars many of the mod ern stories. One reads it with pleasure and finishes It with a warm glow about the heart. It strengthens one's faith In the goodness of one's fellowmen. And I am Inclined to think that It is as correct a picture of the life that It describes as Poole has drawn. It Is a story of the present tlme3, with a background of the slavery era that preceded the Civil War. The hero is a man of northern ancestry and the heroine is a young creole girl of sur passing beauty whom he sees acci dentally in the streets and finally meets at the home of mutual friends The wooing Is an ld-l, with comic In terludes provided by her two old un married aunts," "I am glad to know that Cable can still write books worth while," said Doctor McFabre. "It is very much worth while," said I. "And In spite of Its paganism and Its lack of reticencp I think that Poolc'S book. Is worth while also. It Is very different from 'The Harbor' and 'His Family.' In the first place, It Is not much more than halt bo long. And, In the second place, It deals with a single problem. The publishers say that the theme Is the struggle between two wlcs, one of them living und the other dead, But this does not seem to rne to do the book .justice. It is really, a study of the confllrt between ma terialism and Idealism In Xcw York. One wife, the one who died, was a sen sual materialist, and the other a warm, pulsating Idealist, who thought that there was more In life than mnnev nn.i the base thins sninptlmso ,tiIo,.-.mi 'love.' Yet even the idealist wife, in one of the bedroom scenes, is made to rejoice In the surrender of herself, body and soul, to another. The hus band Is not a New Yorker by birth. He wentto'the city fired by the ambi tion to design beautiful buildings, but he is swamped by the materialism of the place. But his first 'lfe is de lighted with it. Their social life Is the social life of the restaurant and the cabaret.

They kno nothing of any other New York, and if they had known they would not have been in terested In It. On the death of her father In an Ohio town the sister of the first wife went- to New York for a visit. The wife dies suddenly and In about a year she marries her brother-, In-law. She loves the .Idealist that there Is In hlm. She rets about re awakening It and searches out a dif ferent New York from that which her sister had, known, .a New York in which men and women of taste and re finement live, who talk of. art and music and literature, who are .inter ested in reforms and whose god is not their belly. After almost making wreck of her fortunes she suceeds in what she has undertaken and the book ends with a pleasant note. But it. Is the story of a struggle. And It Is an arraignment of .the materialism of the great city which Is none the less severe that it N put in the form of a novel. And, incidentally, It is the pa thetic story of the efforts of a stranger in New York to find congenial friends. She could find plenty who would eat her dinners, but they cared for her food and not for her. And when trou ble came they were glad to be relieved of the necessity of helping her to bear It. If Cable had been rltlng the story he would have found a way to make friends to- her.because he knows that people are folks whether they live In New York or In New Orleans. But Poole was not trying to write a plea sant tale. He was making a sociologi cal study." "Is the book equal to 'His Family'?" Doctor McFabre wanted to know. "It Is much .slighter than that great novel," said I, "and If It had beer, the first that Poole had writen it would not hae attracted much attention. But It is a story which will entertain many, attracted by Its title, who will not read deeply enough Into It to dis cover that It is anything more than a study of the problems of a woman who marries her brother-in-law."

If he were an KnjillKhnvin he would he hulled JOSEPH HERGESHEIMER as one. of the new strong forces In literature. But he is a Phlladelphian by birth and a resident of West Chester, and is so near to us that we have not yet discovered his remarkable originality. His latest book, "Gold and Iron," con tains three unusual stories. They might be called novelettes. "Wild Oranges" is one of the greatest stories which have appeared in America. Poe never wrote anything better, It has literary charm." It has atmosphere. It has that peculiar .mysterious quality, difficult to. define, which make it haunt one for days after reading It, The. hero is a man who, be cause of grief at the sudden death of his bride, abandoned society and. spent twelve years wandering about the seas on a small ketch. He anchors one eenlng off the Georgia coast and sees a womanswlmmlng. His curiosity Is aroused. The outcome Is that he falls In love with the woman ; two murders are done while he attempts to rescue her from her surroundings, and the tale ends with the man and the woman sail ing south alone on the ketch. Another of the stories, "Tubal Cain," treats of the early day of the Iron industry In Pennsylvania and is an ac count of the career of a man who had failed as a lawyer, but by sheer force of a relentless will becomes a powerful Iron master. As a picture of conditions In the first half of the last century It Is marvelous, and as a study of the type of man who created Industries In Amer ica It has historical value, There Is a love Interest, but It is as unusual as .the rest of the story. Mr. Hergeshelmer ts really a man s -novelist. He does not write the kind of stun that will fascinate sixteen-year-old girls or sentimental women. GOLD AND IRON. By Joseph Hercea. hjlmer.
