WILLIAM DEAN HO wkLLff new book,' "Through the By* of th« K«edle, M -is another presenta tion of the old theme— a. coun try with an Ideal political and econom ical system brought Into contrast with policy and economics as they actually exist. .-' [i '/ .-, There have been so many methods used to bring this contract about In the form of a story that It Is impossible to Invent a new one. ', There have been men Irom Mars and' men from: the moon, visions of a country of the future and vt tits to undiscovered j continents mnd Islands without number. \u25a0 Dr. Howella has placed his Ideal V*untry on an unknown south Atlantic continent, reached by a circuitous route which has been kept secret by those of Its 'inhabitants who have come to Europe and America. . . fjs-: Thi story is told by means of two se ries of letters— the first written from ihetUnlted States by an emissary from "Altruria," the ideal country, to one' of \*Ms countrymen, and the second written Altruria by an American; woman \u25a0who has married the emissary, to her friend in America. [ The Altrurlan's letters from the United States tell a pretty love story end contain his impressions of Ameri can life and -customs, with the usual criticisms of the noise and haste and riches and vulgarity, described with a irentle satire which is altogether novel and pleasing. In spite of his dislike j Cor the Americans and their ways one ; cannot help liking the Altrurlan; and > fcls comments often contain an uncon \ *cious humor which, reminds one i strongly of Mark. Twain. Take, for in stance, his grave observation that in I Kew .York in front of every liquor deal | t»r*s there seems to be a policeman al sra-yR on, guard. - His description of some of the Ameri cans with 4 whom he makes friends, no tably those of Mrs. Makely and her husband, are samples , of , Mr. Howells* well ||pown facility for drawing typical characters.- Mr. Makely, ; wlth his good natured tolerance for everything be yond his comprehension, and his winks directed, toward the visitor when his wife expresses some especially learned opinion, is particularly delightful and Lumoroue. The Altrurlan's surprise at the total lack of lorl.c In the whole American •ystezn Is turned to' wonderment and a sort of admiration when he observes hovr the Americans; contrive to exist and enjoy themselves in the . midst of their lack of logic ~l can never insist enough, my dear Cyril, upon the illogicality of American life. Tou know what the -\u25a0 plutocratic principle is and what the » plutocratic civilization should . logically be. But the plutocratic civilization Is much bet ter than it should logically.be, bad as it is; for the personal equation-con stantly modifies it and renders it far less dreadful than' you > would reason ably expect. That is the potentialities of goodness implanted^ ln .the human heart by the Creator* forbid th^ pluto cratic man to be what. the plutocratic scheme of life implies. . He, is often merciful, kindly an<ljrenerous,'as I have told you already. ; in spite of; conditions absolutely egotistical.^ You would think that the Americans would be abashed in vl^w of the fact : that" their L morality^ Is oftcs a'contr'aventlbn-of. their economic principle, but'apparently. they are not co, and I believe that. for the most part they are not aware of thelfacL'i:* ' •- • Perhaps I can aid,you y by;suggrestlng that, logically, the Americans • should be what the Altrurians [ are,*; since their polity embodies our. belief ; that T all men ere born equal, with '> the i. right to, life, tlberty and the' pttrsult; of .happiness; Jfcct that illoglcally: they* are whatHhe Europeans are, r since theyi still cling, to economical * idea's "of ; Europe \ and bold that mets : are < born .socially T iuni «qusl and deny them the ; liberty and fcapplnees which *can: come. fromequal (lty aloe*. • ; • •; Andihere,'; l think.

As in all of these 1 Imaginary social states, certain customs j of* ordinary people are abol ished which have no connection with ! economic or social problems, such as the eating of meat. ;.In Altruria tho people live chiefly on mushrooms; so one does not long too, violently to live In such a oountry. - , . A party of multimillionaire Ameri cans In wrecked on the coast of Altru ria and the letter. writer's keen relish of the situation, as she describes the discomfiture of: the . purseproud Mrs. Thrall when put to work at washing dishes. Is about as funny as any thin k In the book. The two men of the party, who have never worked before In their lives, have at first some difficulty In realising that In spite of all their trealth they are considered as paupers until they have done > the daily three hours of labor demanded of every well adult; but they take quite, readily to hoeing weeds and working on : the roads, and after they are started; they, enjoy it. Mrs. Thrall, however, abso lutely refuses to believe that she can not hire some . on c to do' her - work • f or . her and almost dies of horror when the villagers address her, by her first name.; She is finally convinced, but only by starvation.' : \u25a0 ; - The French cook, Anatole," has • been a 6ocialist In France,; and his overen thuslasm I b very comical. He is looked upon by: the Altrurians" as a. scientist, and discovers "several -new -species of edible mushrooms." His skillin making drawings of them in their natural col ors gains him' great renown. . „ \ ! Mrs. Homos,' the Altruriahired Amer ican woman, who writes the letters de scribing :'* these * events, . professes throughout tt> be as. fond of the Altru rtan way \6f living "as _when she-was first charmed by its simplicity and>lack of strife. ? But -in* the last chapter, sho^ half • reveals •' a feeling, of homesickness \u25a0 which leads one to .suspect- that she would gladly be back in the ; turmoil and "illogicality" of American life; and that- only herVloye; for her Altrurlan husband prevents , her ; returning to It. i ' Mrrr Howells*. 7 introduction is very characteristic. : He gently criticises his letter" writer, and r defends < American institutions > from i their . attacks ' in "> a" 4 manner which; is as : humorous as It \ Is' mildly sarcastic. \u25a0 His pen has "lost none" of -, its': cunning, and'his^frlends and 1 admirers.will! lnclude as many peo- ; pie of this generation as of the last 20" \u25a0By Oaresee E.
