New Fiction
Strong and
Varied
"1 litre is good reason for giviug
our modern novels attentive and se
rious consideration," said Mrs. Ida
Kruse Mcl arlane of the Denver uni-
jerity in her lecture on ".N'cw Fic
I lion" Saturday afternoon at the
Blackstone hotel under the auspices
j of the Delphian .'-ocicty,
"The tide of fiction is coming in
with strength and varictv durintr
ilieic present days following tjie for- 1
mal closing of the great war," shr j
declared. "And," she continued, '
"characteristic of the social and mcn
' tal conditions of our position in his
tory, the novels arc throbbing with
f passion for a sounder reality, a clear
I er understanding, a release from the i
; blinding prejudice and half truths
j that have cost the hinnan race so in
i talculably much.
i "So the evcrasting subjects are
y ,j;ain to tlw fore, challenging their
interpreters for revivification and the
greater writers are being touched by
; the greater issiu's. Joseph Conrad
has wilten one of the magnificent
love stories of the world, 'The 'les
cue." Hugh Wolpole's 'The Cap
tives' is an important book, a seri
ous study of religious need. It deals
with tfie problem of religious ab
sorption, intensity and ardor unre
lieved by culture or variety of expe
rience, but never losing its dignity
, or its magnetic appeal, and teaches
that one must make himself worthy
i of religious zeal.
"In the whole list of this new fic
tion nothing is more interesting than
I the headlong career of popularity on
Vwhich'Rosc Macauley's Totterism'
j has started. The book is unique. It
i does not fit into any of our literary
! formulae," either in subject or style.
Moreover, it is frankly and directly
j corrective. Indeed it would be a
j!jr-lf-satisfied reader who could finish
JRae book without himself having felt
i the touch of the whip.
"But Edith Wharton's fine book,
I 'The Age of Innocence,' the book of
i the year, is the kind we shall read
ana re-reaa. it is an American oook
on large lines. Like 'The Rise of
Silas Lapham," by W. D. Howells.
it should be read by aH of us who
know that we must understand our
I people nd our past, to be able to' put
Uour touch constructively on the sub-
'stance of today."
Mrs. McFarlaue "will speak on
"Wisdom Literature" Saturday aft
ernoon, February 26, at the Black-
i stone..

The Fashion-Platcless
Girl
She always dresses out of style
She seems so indiscreet;
You mention Worth, tdic thinks you
mean
A downtown New York street.
t :
She doesn't know a single thing
About Dame Fashion's code;
Her thoughts most always run to
pie
When you say a la mode.
And so this maiden queer is known
As a sartorial lime ;
Just think, she's wearing all her furs,
And this is winter time.
