While Paris Laughed
Being Pranks and Passions of the Poet Tricotrin
By LEONARD MERRICK
New York Times "(Compact of gayety npd wit and mirth, its irorly,
though keen, is the irony that provokes to delightful chuckles, and if
here and there a tear does shine for on instant it twinkles through laugh
ter, . . More than, any other quality, perhaps, more evert than the
wit and the irony, the sparkle which is as gay and as French as cham
pagne, the exquisite style and unfailing deftness of plot, it is this
extraordinary ability for making even the least important among his
characters real human beings, that Tenders Mr. Merrick's stories so very
exceptional. Those who have eyes to see and hearts to feel

WHO SHALL BE
THE AVENGER?
Mary Johnston Tries to An
swer This Question in Her
Latest Novel
Kllery Sedfjwlck, editor of the Allan,
tic Monthly, writes In the WorM'a Work
that when tho late Walter Hlnes Pane,
literary adviser for thn. ilmiirhtnn.vir.
flln Company, nt tho time, recclxed the
first manuscript from Mary Johnston,
then absolutely unknown, he was so en-
thUslaitlc olp II Ihnf h Iron tho uitmla
office excite all day with his demand
that the rest of the force share In his
appreciation of a good thing. There Is
Incidental encouragement In this an
nouncement fcr the new writer, who
may feel assured that tho publishers
nro ns eager to find hla work worth
printing as ho la to hao It printed. As
a matter of fact, there Is no conspiracy
against tho new author. lJut a manu
script does sometimes hae to go to sev
crnl publishers beforo one Is found
whese literary advisers can see any
merit In It. It happened years ngo,
however, moro frequently than now
that 'a book rejected by a doien publish
ers was welcomed generously by the
public when It finally appeared,
Mary Johnston Is one of the fortunate
nuthors whoso merit ni recognized at
ence. She has In "To Have and to'
Hold" one great suvcess to her crcdt.
Her other novels have been popular
enough to make them profitable for her
and her publishers. Her latest, "Foes,"
Is not likely to duplicate tho success
of "To Have and to Hold." unless tho
clergvmen begin to preach sermons
about It. Then It may be bought by
tho ten thousands by persons Interested
In tho working out of an cthlral prob
lem. It Is tho Btory of two young
Scotchmen In tho second tiuarter of tho
eighteenth century who became warm
friends and then bitter enemies because
one betrayed tho girl whom the other
loved. Later one of tnem fought on
tho sldo of the Stuarts In the uprising
of 1745, and tho other fought for King
George. After tho peace tho man loyal
to the British King assumed the role
of an avenging fate and pursued the
other through i Spain and France nnd
Italy. He sought vengeance In the be
lief that he could bo tho Instrument of
God In bringing the other to Justice.
The latter third of the book Is occupied
with his struggle with this deslro for
revenge and an awakening of his spir
itual nature to tho fact that mercy Is
more divine than hate, and; It ends with
the reconciliation of the two foes
through tho confession of eaeh that he
had wronged the other. It is Just the
kind of a tale to appeal to tho preach
ers. It must be cenfessed that as a story
It lacks Interest, as it does not progress
smoothly from climax to climax. It Is
a scries of episodes loosely strung to
gether on the thread of the Stuart
unrlslnr. And It Is marred by Miss
Johnston's peculiar English style a
style that, In this book, she has ap
parently tried to make romantic and
picturesque, but which Is overburdened
with metaphor and at nil times lacks
that simplicity and directness charac
teristic of the best prose.

In "Explaining the Britishers" the
author has a distinctly pro-British
propaganda purpose. That purpose was
to reach American sailors and soldiers
In Great Britain en route to the battle
fields of the great war with a sympa
thetic and Informing account of what
Kngland and its colonies and dominions
had accomplished In the fight for free
dom, the sacrifices and services of mili
tary, naval and home civilian forces
and the peculiarities of disposition and
differences of trait and custom that
characterize the Britisher distinctively.
The author. Frederick William Wile, for
many years an American newspaper cor
respondent In Europe, ha tnken up and

them without a shred of basis and all

CHARMING MEMORIES

Mrs. Wheeler, Nonagenarian
Pioneer in Women's Work,
W'ritcs Autobiography
"Vesterdajs In n Busy Life" Is the
delightful story by Mrs. Candnce
Wheeler of "my ninety years of travel
along the highways of life." It Is of
unusual interest, for It Is the account of
an uncommonly useful life, and brings
the reader Into close touch with some of
the most noteworthy men and women of
the last century. Born on a farm In
central New' York, her childhood was
passed In a family of "actual Puritans,
repeating In 1828 the lives of our pioneer
New England forefathers a hundred
years before." The Bible was "our lit
erary bread. For mental exercise,
amusement, and Improvement we read
Young's 'Night Thoughts, rollock's
'Course of Time,' Milton's 'Paradise
Lost,' nnd, happily, 'The Pilgrim's Prog-
So strong was the antlslavery feeling
that the products of slavo labor, white
sugar and cotton clothing, were never
uied In her home, It was one of the
stations on the "Underground llallroad,"
and "occasional, visitors were runaway
slaves on the'r perilous way to Canada."
Her early married Mfe was passed In
Brooklyn, "The Bedroom," as It was
then called by tho "haughty metropolis"
New York, and here she made cloie
friends with many well-known people,

Her whole attitude toward life was
changed by a visit to tho Centennial In

needlework by English gentlewomen led
her to become a "pioneer of textile art
In America." To furnish an outlet for
the ability of our educated women, and
to encourage a profitable, Industry
among those possessing artistic talent
was from this time tho aim of her life
She founded the Society of Decorative
Art, Its success was so great that this
widening of the field of woman's labor
was of national Importance In commerce

She made several foreign tours full
of Interesting incidents, nnd gives de

was written. It is full of lively Incidents
and bright stories of her numerous

Two Remarkable Interpretations of French Character
Nono: Love and the Soil By GASTON ROUPNEL
Wine.growinr; Burgundy reveals a powerfully Tealiitic peasant
love-story. Beginning as a crude, shallow passion it develops
through the wider vision which comes with years into a stead
ily deepening drama of redeeming love. Its bits of description,
ns well as its pathos and tenderness, remind one of Thomas
Hardy at his best. Net $1.90
Jacquou the Rebel By EUGENE LE RQY
The rural life of Porigord, sturdily opposing injustice, privi
lege and intrigue, extraordinarily kind, simple and devout,
reveals the gentle qualities which have made French civilization
so valuable to the world. It is Le Roy's most important novel
and ranks with the best of Maupassant, Net $1.90
