Clinton Scollard writes in regard to tho
maid of May:
"I know her lips aro
As sweet-briar tips nro;
Her laughter's slips are
Like thrushes' trills.
That break in gushes
Athwart the hushes.
When twilight blushes
Behind the hills."
Tho May mnlden in Richmond hns be?
gun to array herself In white. Portico
living has onco more come Into style,
though a trifle belated this year, and
that Is the reason why the pnsser up and
down the streets may now, when "twi?
light blushes behind the hills," hear tho
laughter llko "thrushes' trills," that Is
Bues from rosy lips and Join If ho lists,
the clrclo which the May mnlden has
drawn together In her out-of-door slt
tlng-room.
It Is a distinctively Southern habit this
fashion of going outside to meet the soft
Slay broezos and excliango confidences
with friends and sweethearts. The May
maiden to the north of TOason nnd Dlx
on's line golfs, rides and drives, but nlrs
Jicr diaphanous robes within her draw?
ing-room. The Virginia girl rejoices bo- ,
yond expression that the time for roil
sociability has at last net In. She sits
on the top stop leading into her May par?
lor with Harry, John and Richard in
varying gradations nt her feet, tosses
hack and forth the gay ball of badinage,
and keeps them eill In the best possible
humor with themselves, with her and
with the world at large.
For sho is a kindly philosopher, this
?May maid In the whlto gown, with a red
rose caught in tho soft folds of .her dark
hair, and a cluster In the belt onclrcling
her slender waist. Sho la too sweet
tempered and light-honrted to find fault
?with anybody or anything, and believes
her most serious mission In life is to bo
and to look charming. And that is tbo
reason why all meri continue to adoro
her.

??The Husbands' Comedy."
It is a far cry from such an idyl as the
love-story recently written by Mr. James
Branch Cabell for Harper, which he call?
ed "In Ursula's Garden," and his novcl
ett Just Issued In the Smart Sot for June.
The setting of the first story Is In a
period sufficiently remote from tbe pres?
ent to invest It with tho romance and
the glamor which naturally gather
around the golden ago of England's life
and history. From such an Ideal por?
trayal to tho realism of the twentieth
century In American social life, the
transition is as great os is the change
tirom tbo dim, cool recesses of an old
English garden with its moss-grown sun
dial and Its prim solemn yew hedges, to
the broad glare of sun-light falling
straight and full upon tho suburban
homo of a Wall-Street broker, whoso
wife Is given to week-end houso parties
and their attendant gayety.
"The Husbands' ?Comedy" Is hardly a
comedy pure and simple. ?t is an expo?
sition of a phase of '.society which bears
abovo all clso the stamp of. modernity,
In that bathos saves It from tragedy, and
lack of right feeling and roil sentiment
lays bare Its pitiful pretences.
Tho knife of tho surgeon cuts to heal.
The pen of tho novelist, akin to tho knife,
Js the surest euro for an evil which It
holds up to public vlow. Mr. Cabell has
stated his situations plainly, tersely and
strongly, without apology. His men and
?women who figure. In "Tho Husbands'
Comedy" show themselves, through what
they say and do, for what thoy are. Be?
ing weighed wtth the utmost impartiality
in their originator's balance, what won?
der Is It, If they are found wanting, evon
by him, when they ?ivo Implied, tn bo in
lmrmony With tho world nronnd them,
which fosters nnd admires such I
Tho story Is tbo story of tangled
threads and mis-matched lives. Tho ono
?woman making tho reader's acquaintance
who Is undeniably womanly, Is frankly
supposed to be so bereiuso sho Is not very
Intelligent, and Is sufficiently lacking In
acumen to be easily deceived, The other
fermalo member of ? ?iiiartetto playing
the comedy is merely human flotsam,
thrown uppermost In tho turbid swnsh of
the American social whirlpool, for tbo
damaging of everything within her
sph?re of touch or Influence,
???? diff?rant plano of thinking nnd
feeling, tho different estimalo placed upon
rnanhuod und manliness by tbo codo of
to-day in contrast with tho codo of yes?
terday Is mado plain In the language
which tlio hero of the novelotte, Mr. Mus?
grave, employs in requesting another
man, Mr. Chartelia lo stop molting lovo
to the flotsam?embodied as his wife, Ho
says, Incidentally to the request;
"Now you're about to make a scene,
and we aren't hero for that. Wo aren't
going to tear any passions to tatters; wo
aren't going to rant; we ?are simply go?
ing to have a quiet, sensibili talk. Wo'
aren't characters in a romaneo; you aren't
I.a.noe]ot, you know, and I'm not up to
the part of Arthur, by a great dual. I'm
not angry. I'm not Jealous, I don't
put tho mutter on any high moral
jrrounds. I simply say It won't do?no,
hang It. It won't do."
The Interest of the story Is grout. Even
for thoso who might otherwise pass the
subject by, the manner of Its treatment
hero will engage attention, and, though
with limitations, enlist sympathy, A cer?
tain fine accuracy, careful grouping, easy
variety of Incident, Infinite, play of sug
gestivenesss, the flllp of light scorn and
delicate touches of humor or pathos,
mark the sti.ry as the Inseparable charac?
teristics of Mr. Cabell's style. It Is pre?
destined to a wide circulation and will,
without doubt add much to its author's
rapidly growing reputation. ?
