A STUDY IN PREJUDICES. Tf all husbands were level-headed anil nil Wives perfectly truthful, discreet nd devoted, oi:iety would no doubt gain in eminent respectability and de corum, but would It not become, at the same time, unendui ably tame, trite and monotonous? No Uoubt there would be ffiwer divorces, elopements and tliut Bort of thing If ull young men and women about to marry could be per suaded to cant out the motes of ro mance In their several eyes, which color existence with unnatural glamors, and view each other ua simply so much chemical accumulation of gross mate rials with a sprinkling of Intellect unci a modicum of common sense. But would not the gain in such a transac tion be overbalanced by the consequent loss of sensation and novelty? In other words, are we not better off as we are, despite our madnesses of exuberant youthful spirits and rare pranks of high-strung Idealism, than we would he If transformed Into male and female beastA having In view no larger des. tiny itlian simply to eat, to sleep and to rear children for the same prosaic ends? Tlies are Borne of the questions sug gested by George Paston's "A Study In Prejudices," which the Appletons have Just; Issued In their Town and Country J.ihrary. Hut to make our point more clear, we shall have to epitomize the run-el Itself. Oelly Tregarthen Is the daughter of a British nltleer who, in dying, left a large family and no money for it to live on. This was in Chatham. The family. In due time, packed off to Lon don, there to earn Its dally bread, and nt the moment of our introduction, Cecily, described a "a tall tlgure with the short waist and long limbs of a young Diana, a small head set buoy antly upon the full white throat, dark gray eyes placed well-apart, a mouth of gracious curves und a chin that was not a meaningless end to the face but a iine feature In Itself" by the way, we miss the foot earns her bread by daubing on china und pottery, and doing other decorative work of trivial character. She Is somewhat pert and very vivacious; she flirts at the slight est pretext, one of her most conspic uous victims being one Ja3per Fleming, a mature artist of elght-and-thirty, of whom more anon; and in a general way may be not inaptly described as u kind of civilized Trilby, minus "the alto gether." A Bister to Cecily does copying for a popular playwright, Miles Dormer, by nam, described as a "tall, distinguished looking man of about tlve-and-tliirty, with broad, slightly stooping shoulders, mid a well-shaped liead. His face was rather pale, with long, sharply-cut fea tures, and eyes so deep-set that their color was scarcely distinguishable." Through this business relationship Miles and Cecily meet; and soon afterward Jiormer finds himself musing In the fol lowing strain, In the course of a carriage-ride homeward: - . With a certain shy surmise, which was ciuaint enough In one to whom the critics nl Uuled us "that popular dramatist, "he wondered how he should feel If he was driving home that night with a young wife at his side. He would have his uiiu around her waist, perhaps, anil It was po5.4lble that her head might be resting on Ills shoulder. His heart gave a little Jump ut the thought, and Involuntary his unit stole from his side, while lie glanced down us though half expecting to see a fuir bowed head upon his coat sleeve. He laughed at his own folly, the next mo ment, us his arm clasped the empty ulr, and he hastened to remind himself of his long-cherished articles of faith, that mar riage was a lottery In which there were few prizes, that a wife was usually a clog Dii a mun's career, and that children were the source of more anxiety than comfort, lie had acquired certain old-bachelor In stincts and prejudices which caused him to shrink from the Idea of a woman's con stant presence In his house, from the In trusion of feminine affairs and domestic details Into the comfortable privacy of rellbate.llfe. lje was dimly conscious, moreover, that his disposition was jeal ous and exacting, and if he once placed his peaty of mind and happiness in the hands oft a woman, what tortures might she not (4 use him, how entirely would he be at her mercy! Dormer's plays and books were pop ular with men, but somehow they did not go .well among women. They called his women characters dolls, and de clared they were unnatural. To avoid this criticism. Dormer decides to study Cecily attentively, with the Idea of putting her In a new book, upon which he wus at work. It was In pursuance of this determination that Dormer per mitted us to look In upon the following episode: As he looked questlonlngly across nt his hostess, It suddenly dawned upon him that ihe was sitting quite silent with a little Rush upon her cheeks, and a troubled look in her eyes. He jumped up In. em barrassment, scarcely knowing where he was or what he was saying. "I'm afraid I've been dreadfully rude," he exclaimed. "But "the fact Is, from llv Ing so much alone I get absent (Its some times which make ma quite unlit for hu man society. You see 1 was speaking no more than the truth when I told you that 1 was too dull and stupid to get on with young ladles." "You have never been anything but kind and pleasant to me," said Cecily, an unmistakable ring of sincerity in her tones. "I saw that you were thinking of lomething else Just now, so I held my tongue for fear my chatter should lose Kou a valuable idea." "It was very good of you to forgive me," laid Miles, holding out his hand. "Must you go?" she asked. "I thought perhaps you would wait till Madge cams home." Hr words might have been Inspired by more conventional politeness, but he fan cied ha could detect a. note of genuine re gret In her tone. His empty heart, his long-repressed emotions, began slowly to awaken at the strange delicious thought that this beautiful young creature had a li'.ndly feeling for him, that she was glad to have him with her, sorry when he part ed from her, "Would you rather I stayed?" hn asked, In a husky voice, that he scarcely recog nized as his own. "Yes," answered Cecily, quite simply, looking him straight in the face with her truthful eyes. She had scarcely uttered the little mono syllable than everything became clear to Miles. He knew what it was he wanted of her, what It was that she could give him If she would. But the shy, reserved man, who had never been a favorite with wo men, found It impossible to believe that there was any hop of his attaining his desire, while, his whole nature shrank from the- possibility of receiving a re pulse. "You you couldn't care for me a little, could you?" he asked, in the same uncer tain, quavering tones. , J fl tune Tl 'r, The wlstfulness of his glance, the timid longing In his words, went straight to the girl's Impulsive heart and kindled a flame therein. "Oh!" she GTclaimed. her eyes and mouth opening simultaneously at the suddenness of the revelation that forced Itself upon her, "I believe 1 could." II Rven In the moment'of his acceptance Dormer, It seems, was studying dra matic effects. He could not help remembering the cv.i duct of his latest heroine when going through a similar experience, her bashful Hulteriiigs, her maidenly reserve, and the admirable sentiments to which she gave utterance as she gently rebuked her young lover for his too Impetuous method of courtship. Had the critics been Justified In their disparaging comments on Ihe lady's behavior after all, or and his heart stood still ut the thought was Cecily's happy fearlessness due to the fact that this was not her iirst experience of th tender passion, that she had played a lending part before In the drama of love? "Cecily," he exclaimed, his anxiety be traying itsoir In his voice, "have you ever cared for any man before V" "Never," she replied, with perfect truth, for though she hud often played at senti ment, no man had ever touched her heart. "No other man has ever kissed or held you In bis arms?" demanded Miles. There was a scarcely perceptible pause and then Cecily answered steadily as she looked him straight In the. eyes: "No, you are the first." It was a lie, but at that moment she would have committed a crime to keep the treasure she had so nearly won. After a time It occurred" to Miles to nsk Cecily to 'be his wife. A delicious tremor ran through him ns he uttered the words, "My wife;" they sounded to him so solemn und beautiful. To Cecily, however, they came like a breath of chill ulr on the ilrst glow of her happiness. Marriage meant commonplace cares, duties and anxieties, when she de sired nothing but love, caresses, and free dom to rejoice in her youth. At her lover's words the recollection of certain married couples of her acquaintance forced Itself upon her mind; the bored, Indifferent hus band, the stout, uninteresting wife, with their spoilt children, su.uu.bble about bills, and endless household worries. Conse. qiivntly she did not respond with any en thusiasm to Miles' last remark. nr. AVe look now upon Mr. and Mrs. Dor mer: Only one slight passing cloud marred the perfect serenity of the long honeymoon. It was the third Sunday after their mar riage, and the couple were at Florence. As they sat at breakfast MUes suddenly asked: "Wouldn't you like to go to church this morning. Cecily? You haven't been since we left Kiigland, and I believe there is a fairly good service here." "If you wish to go, Miles, I should like to go with you. I didn't know that you ever went to church." "No, 1 don't. But I thought you did." "Yes, we always went as long as we lived at Chatham, and when we came to London we began by going to a different church every Sunday, and we heard some thing iiftrmnt -in- arlu One -elerg-ymitn told us that all men except a select few would go to hell, and another that there was no such place. A third said that It was wh'ked not to pray for rain, and a fourth thut we ousht only to pray for spiritual blessings. Some told us that everything that happened had been predestined from the beginning of the world, and others that every man could make his own fate, and was the master of his circumstances. Then they all Interpreted the Bible In dif ferent and mid often contradictory ways, so at last I got quite confused and dis heartened, and i gave up going to church and reading the Bible. But now If you will tell me whut you believe I will believe It too. Your faith shall be my faith, and your Hod my Hod." "That Is Impossible," he said. "A man hammers out his own faith, such as it Is, by means of long years of thought and reading. A woman cannot do that, and therefore she must believe what she is told. In any case the faith of a thinking man w ould not be definite enough for her. She requires dogmas, symbols, and cere monies." Cecily looked sad. "I am sorry that w must be separated In our religion," she said mournfully. "Do you think there will be a little heaven for women and a big one for men?" When Dormer married Cecily he had no particular knowledge of her past nor she of his. , In time, rumors of .her maiden flirtations reached him, and being jealous to an absurd degree, Dor mer gave a ridiculous amount, of atten tion to them. One rumor affected a man named Leonard Bapsett, a light headed, harmless fellow who had flut tered into Cecily's acquaintance and fluttered out again with erjual ease and facility. Bnssett had called on Cecily after her marriage, had consumed a trifle toomuchchnmpngneand had made a fool of himself by expressing too open admiration for. her, for which she had roundly rebuked him. Bassett, to mend matters, tried to pass a note of apology Into Cecily's hand, but Dormer Inter cepted it. "(Jive me that hole." . ' Cecily instantly unclosed her hand and delivered up the paper. "I don't know whut Is in it," she said, trying to keep a quaver out of her voice. "Some nonsense from that impertinent boy, 1 suppose." There was no reply, and the pair drove home In silence, which teclly felt to be worse than angry apech.On entering the house. Miles went to the study, followed by his wife, unfolded and read the note, and then threw It Into the fire. "Won't you tell me what It was about?" asked Cecily, to whom the, silence was be coming Intolerable. "it contained a request from Mr. Bassett that you would meet him Ot a certain time, In a certain place, for a. certain purpose," replied Miles, with crushing courtesy. "A request that I have put it out of your power to grant." "Oh, Miles, how cart you speak to me and look at me like that?" exclaimed Ce cily. "As If I should have been likely to grant it I Though 1 am certain he meant no harm, and he would never have hud the Impudence to write mo that note If he had been Millie quite himself tonight." "He Is fortunate In having you for his champion," returned her husband with nn exxasperatlng bow. "Oh, what can I say?" cried poor Cecily In despair. "Indeed, I hav given him ro encouragement beyond wha' you know of. Till tonight no word has ever passed be tween us that I should have been ashamed for you and ull the world to hear." "Possibly," retorted Miles. "Some people are deficient In a sense of slioine." Cecily lookftd at htm helplessly. It seemed to her ns If her husband had been suddenly UttilVoi tm-U into a aynlcal, Sneer. ing stranger. Who mity." ted her or some unknown crlmi; end Judged her Without J listening to heil df-fetui. ,' :. t She finally explains to her husband the whole circumstance of her acquaint ance with Bassett: how, as a girl, with no one to guide her differently, she had harmlwusly flirted with him,.. not know ing there was any 'harm In It. Then she Implores Miles to forgive her, vow ing to be all that he could desire In the future. He nominally assents. She went closer to him, and held up her face to ills. Miles was on the point of yielding altogether when his eye fell on the soft full curves of the lips that were so temptingly near his own. The strang er's words, "A woman with a mouth like that will never be satisfied, with the kisses of one man." came back to his mind, and he jerked away his head with c uttle ges ture ot repulsion. His ungracious action worked un instantaneous transformation in his wife. Her chin went up, and a look of scorn flashed Into her face as she said: "You suy you forgive me, but you don't seem to know what forgiveness means." Then without another word, she turned and left him. V. One day the artist Jasper called an other man with whom Cecily had flirted before her marriage. She was unhappy at her husband's growing suspicion and Jealousy; und during' some of Jasper's words of friendship broke Into tears. The sight of her tears, the sound of the sob In her voice, sent the blood to Jasper's head, and mude him for the moment forget all motives of prudence, honor, or self control. Seizing Cecily's two hands in his, he exclaimed passionately "Cecily, I cannot bear to s?e you un happy, to stand by and do nothing to com fort you. Ah, If you would only trust yourself to me you should never have an other moment's sufferl-ng; I would dex-ote my whole life to making yours one long dream of bliss. And It would not bo wrong, darling, because it Is love that constitutes marriage, and not ceremony, if a man does not make his wife happy he Is not really married to her; ho Is not her hus band in the sight of heaven. But you and I, dearest " At this point his flow of eager, rapid words was cut short, for Cecily wrenched her hands from his, and springing up, looked round helplessly, as though ask ing the unseen powers by what cruel freak It was that this undeslred and terrifying declaration had been brought upon her. "Oh, what have I done? How have T deserved this?" she cried, throwing out her unns. with a gesture of despair. "Am I really wicked, or is it some horrible de lusion that mukes everybody think me so depraved ?" "Cecily," said Jusper, sobered by the un expected effect of Ills Impulsive speech. "Don't talk like that. Nobody thinks y'ou wicked. 1 least of all. If the knowledge of my love only ulurms and distresses you, forget w hat I have said. You Bhall never be troubled by me again." She turned and looked him straight in the face. "I don't wish to assume any high und mighty ulrs of virtue," she said quietly. "If 1 had mude you respect me In the past I suppose you would never have used those words to me today. But if it Is true that love alone constitutes marriage, then l am fast married to iny husband, for I love him with, ull my heart, and 1 would rather be miserable with him than happy with any other man in the. whole world." "Then there Is nothing more to be said," returned Jasper, trying to assume a tone of easy Indifference, "except to beg your forgiveness for the annoyance my stupid blunder must have caused yon." "1 think there is one thing more to be said," replied Cecily gently. "The next time you try to comfort un unhappy wo man, don't offer her shame In exchange for tears." vr. And now we approach the climax. Jasper's ancient sister, angered at her brother's unhapplness for Jasper, it seems, honestly loved Cecily and. In true 'lover fashion, loyally went to pieces when she married Dormer sent Dormer a false sketch showing Cecily In an Immodest attitude before Jasper. Dormer storms, scolds and taunts her, und finally Insists upon a depuration. (Mechanically, she leaves the house her home no longer und, albeit In a deli cate condition, a fact which Dormer, be it said In his favor, did not know, starts for the ilrst place that enters her mind, a place called Ilfracombe, where she had once visited with her husband. She takes lodgings In llfraco-mbe with two sisters, one of whom, about her own age, seems possessed of means, 'but de void of friends and li tinned by the neighbors. Between this woman, Hhodu, and Cecily a bond of sympathy Is soon formed. One day Cecily men tions Dormer's name. At the sound Khoda starts. Question and inference soon disclose the fact that Khoda knew Dormer; having once nursed him out of an illness; that, in fact, It Is his money which supplies her with a live lihood. That which follows Is the cul minating scene of the story: "Now," said Cecily, turning to Khoda, who stood before her with bent head and downcast eyes, "tell me what all this means. What Is Mr. Dormer to you.'" "1 suppose It's no use trying to hldo it from you now," said Rhoda, slowly. "You have heard too milch to rest satlslUd wlih out hearing more. But, remember, It nil happened long before MltosMr. Dormer knew you. It is an old Htory now." "What Is an old story now?" asked Cecily, without noticing the allusion to her own relation with Miles. "Well, that when h tfoi better of Ms Illness, and was going back to London Mr. Dormer asked ine to ;j with him. und and I went." ".Miles was your lov?r?" murmured Cecily in scurfy audible tones. "I suppose he r.iust have been ford of me In a way. You sen h-j was slill wink and ailing, nnd ho hud got use! to me. I understood ho to take enre of him and muke him comfortable." "And you loved lilin?" "I would have giver, inv life for him if It would nave done him any good," replied Khoda simply. "I did more than thut, I sacrlllced fa'i !, mother, homo anil good name for him." "And Miles?" put In Cecily Impatiently, for she could attend to no other part of the story. "You lived with Miles?" "He took a little house for me near Bed ford Park," went on Rhoda, "and though he kept on his chambers In town he spent most of his spare time with me. In the summer we went away somewhere Into the country. Ah, I know it was selfish and wicked, but I was very happy all the same. People tell lies when they say you can't be happy unless you're good. Tho knowledge thut you are sacrlllclng your very soul to your lover makes your love all the stronger, and . your happiness all the deeper. And then you don't know what It is, ma'am, for a girl who has only associated with common men to have a gentleman for a lover. All a gentleman's little ways, his talk, his po liteness, the very tones of his voice have mora power over her than ever his money could have." "But how how long?" gasped Cecily. "We were together, off and on, for near ly three years. Of course, I knew It couldn't last. I knew he would tire of me, sooner or later, because I wasn't a lady, nor educated enough to be a companion to him. But he was very good to me, from first to last." ' Cecily made no reply. She was sitting quite still, with a strange Inward look in her eyes. "You won't let what I hnva told you set you against him, will you?" pleaded Khoda. "He's not a bad man, you know, not like some of them. .He was kind to me even after he was tired of me, when many men would have turned me Into the streets, and never cared what became of me. You won't be hard on him, will you, dear ma'am? because I'm sure you love each other, and there's the child coining ami all. Say you will forgive him." To Khoda's consternation Cecily sud denly broke Into a wild peal of laughter. . "Forgive him!" she cried. "Don't you know that he thinks himself the nlnety-and-tilne Just persons who need no forgive ness rolled Into one? He Is the lineal de scendant of the prodigal's blameless older brother, and of the Pharisee who thanked heaven that ho was not as other men were. If he had been present when the woman taken In arlilltHt-v van hrmitrht heforo ' Christ he would not have hesitated to cast the first stone," Her speech was Interrupted by ar.other uncontrollable spasm of laughter, while Rhoda stood by in silent dismay. "Oh, he Is a model of masculine virtue," went on Cecily as soon as she had recov er! her breath. "I have always looked up to him as a saint and a hero, and meek ly borne all his anger and contempt be cause I felt that I was unworthy of such a piece of perfection. Ar.d 1 have been try lug to Improve myself so as to become more worthy of him, and even looking for ward cheerfully to the pains of hell be cause 1 hoped that the child would bring us together again, it is all so funny, I believe It will kill me with laughing. Oh, Rhoda, I can't stop laughing. Help me I can't get my breath I am going to die!" vi r. The punishment of Miles JXirmor, first In his own restlessness and uneasi ness after his absurd separation; next In his unxlety to find Cecily, who had sent him no trace of her whereabouts, and to make amends; and finally In his discovery of her at Ilfracombe, suffer ing from brain fever after giving birth to a dead child, is sketched wi th mas terly force. At the end, Cecily dies, hav ing only. In her last fleeting -moment of consciousness und reason, vouch safed to the distracted und penitent husband a message of recognition nnd forgiveness. This ending seems unnec essarily harsh; but, then, the lone of the entire book Is harsh and pess-lmistlc. 1 1 ulms to plead fur a single standurd of social murals, applicable alike to errlnm; women and unfaithful men; It endeav ors to preach against the social conven tion which, :by condemning women after marriage to the aimless idleness gov erning those of whom society exacts no more serious labors than to dress -well, entertain well and make formal culln. sfiens the way to domestic, discord und mischief; but It conceals these proper messages underneath so much cynicism, gloom and pictured Injustices ns to have almost a neutralizing effect. .Neverthe less, "A Study In Prejudices" Is trench ant, timely und replete with Interest, it is a novel to be read by minds capable of thinking.
