DORAN COMPANY l I ' (noram THE SEASON MRS. WARD ON THE WAR-WORK (URL She lias Written a Romance 11 Inch Will Please British Grandmothers MICK. IllMPllltV VHI) V The inclination of jouug lirilith women of the upper clatscs who were active in war work to assert their right to liVe their lives in their own way without the guidance of older and more cAperienrrd persona has moviil Mis. Humphry Ward to write a novel about it. She takes for her heroine Helena, a beautiful and fascinating girl of nine teen, who had driven a motor ambu lance for a jcar. AVhen her mother died she was lett in the care of a dis tant coilMii of her mother, who happens to be a mau of forre and old bleaks. He is generally supposed to be a widower. As he is onl.v about fort) -two oart. old and liamltome, he is regarded as marriageable. At the opening of the ttory there is a dath between the ward and the guaidiati over the invitation of a tcapegrare to the guaidian's coun lr house. The girl knows little about him, and she has believed his story of tin1 most irieut srnudul in which lie was involved Helena rebels and an nouiires her intention of meeting the in ii ti the net wed; in London, blither guardian prevents it. Uf course. Mrs. Ward lus events jus tify tho action of the guardian and has Helena make a handsome apology for her willfulness. She tliseovcrs that her chirrs sue wiser than the. And this is what Mr Ward wishes the joung lirit itlf iv omen to learn. The ttor.v is a conventional melo drama of the l'ritish aristocrat, with a man of good famil.v marr.ving beneath I i ii i and .separating his wife and being made to believe that the hud died. At tin critical moment tin wife turns up and two or Hirer love affairs reach a climax at the tame lime. They all end in the way that rhlerly persons, think Mirh affairs thouhl end. The wife dies and the husband marrirs tin; swerthcart of his ontli, and Helena becomes en gaged to the oung man who bad been chosen for her b.v her guardian. The lintish grandmothers who read it will call it a most moral and improv ing tale. It is doubtful if it will appeal to the romantic tattrs of the ouug women for whom it is written. They would have preferred that the guar dian should have married Helena, who vva.s in love with him for a while. He hud the manner of a man with n secret grief and the manners of a gt'ciously fa- mating gentleman. The combina tion is oue thnt sentimental girls find b diflnult to resist. They will not for give Mrs. AVard for having him sur render to the prospect of peace with a woman ot thirt.v -eight, rather than renew his outh us the husband of a voung woman with all the charms ot l.ad.v 'Hamilton. Helena is a real ireatiuu, however. Mrs. Ward ta)s she iv a oung woman of unusual at tractions of person and character, ami the makes her chibit those fascina tions most convincing!. liri.i'w I.KN.V By Mrs tuniplii Wnrd.

Ho reviews the (ratitioii thnt the origina' Mother (loose lived in Boston and that her rhymes were tlrst put into a book by her son-in-law in order to bring his xolubb inothcr-lu-law into ridicule, ami lie rejects it as untenable. The date 1710 ascribed to tho first edition, lie sa.vs, was iu u period when the publica tion ot a book ot frivolous rhiiies for children would not have been permitted, us the cliihlien were forced to ruid the Bibb. He concludes that Mother I'ioo'c originated iu France between lOol) and 10117. was translated into English by Itobcrl Snnibers in Vi-'.) and did not reach America until 1785. Isaiah Thomas reprinted it in AVorcester, Mass., in 17S7. This, Doctor Ulmendorf insists, must he re garded ns the first American edition. The French book was added lit in Ung lnnd before it reached America, which accounts for the rhjiucs with IJritish place iiiniie.s in it. Doctor Uluiciidorf has included in the volume a large number of lhjines popular with children which arc not tisunlly included iu a .Mother (loose book. Included among them arc the stories ot Jackie Homer and Torn Thumb. He has also reprinted the ancient Clinldeo tale of "A, Kid, u Kid," which is the original of "The House That Jack lluilt," uud explains its meaning in the notes. The book, while entertaining the children, will be interesting to their ciders who like to recall the rhymes with which they were familiar during the years they were tied to their mothers' npiou strings. What thr liostoniaus, who have ''regarded Mothrr (loose ns one of their proud possessions, will say ot Doctor Hlnieu dorf's view remains to be heard. Till' llOYI) SMITH JIOTHUIl tiOOSE.
