he looked over a pile of novels on my

I asked.
"I can't help noticing It," he replied.
"The novelists 'write about things

suggested, "before they change their
theories, 1 was reading the other day
a discussion of modern fiction, In the
course of which it was said that the
climax of the novels of Tie future
w6uld be staged In the'bedrooms, The
writer said that .the most dramatic
things happened there and that the au

from any sense, of squeamishness."
"Why didn't' he say from any sense
of propriety?".
"He must have Indorsed the theory
of Charles A. Dana, that whateter God
Almighty permitted, to happen was
perfectly proper to print or write
about," said "I,, "But I confess to a
liking for- the reticence of the older

'Flower of the Chapdelalnes and
Pfeoie's 'His Second Wife.' Poole Is
by no means a serious offender against
good taste. In comparison with some
of' the moderns he is old-fashioned in
his respect for the proprieties, but his
latest novel lacks that spirit which

one finds In Cable's latest. One Is a
story of New York and the other a
tale of creole life In Xcw Orleans. 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

one of the bedroom scenes, is made to
rejoice In the surrender of herself,

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. Their friends are the full
bosomed female animals so common In
New York and their husbands, Inter

their mates. 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."

"Gold and Iron" Contains One
of the Best Short Stories
Written in America
The distinction of Joseph Hergeshelmer
lies In his successful avoidance of the
commonplace and conventional. 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.

A Different Sort of Love Story
Whatever else one may think of Klea
nor Hallowell Abbott's stories, one must
admit that they belong In the class
properly called somewhat different.
From "Molly Make-Believe" to her
latest, "The Ne'er-Do-Much," they have
all been unusual and surpris'ng In their
plot and denouement. And they are en
tertaining. "The Ne'er-Do-Much" starts
with the dinner of a rich South Ameri
can given to a large compjhy-'of distin
guished Americans whom' h?had in
vited to eat at li's expense fn a New
York hotel that he might have the
pleasure of seeing them. The story
deals only with the guests at one table,
two young women, al young man and an
old one. They do not know one another,
and after a few moments of embarrass
ment they begin to discuss the amusing
situation In which they find themselves,
and finally agree, under the protection
of theirIgnorance of one" another, to
tell their gravest troubles. First they
arrange that two pf them 'shall be
privileged to spin a yarn while the other
two must tell the truth. And they draw
lota. Then the complications begin, to
be ended months after In the public
gardens In Boston, where they had
agreed to meet and disclose their Iden
tity, There Is a novel love story In
closed within the fabric of the tale. In
deed, It is nothing but an unusual gort
of a love story, and as such It deserves
the attention of all sentimental young
women.

yet published Is J, Storer Clouston's
"The Spy In Black." The author adopts
the novel plan of having the German
spy himself tell the story, with connect

r The plot deals with the exploits of a
young lleuteuant In- the Kaiser's navy
who' Is landed at night from a submarine
on the "Windy Islands" where the Brit
ish fleet Is stationed. He Is to work
with an accomplice on land for the
destruction' of the British warships.
The accomplice Is to masquerade as an
English clergyman, .assuming the, place
and personality of a visiting vicar who
has bocn murderously assaulted and
hurled from a cliff. The execution of
(his daring scheme Is replete with
thrills and Intrigue and Involves a bit
of romance as, well, but.lt is only at the
