The feminine novelist has about as rapturously agreeable an idea of the modern man am the masculine novelist has of the new woman, but us both of these abnormalities seem to be merely ephemeral, it behooves us to survey the work of these fiction-mongers with equanimity; in fact, not to take them sertously. In Miss Ella MacMahon's novel, published by Macmillan & Co. and entitled “A Modern Man," we have & aingular and amusing villainous type of hero, He, moreover, suffers from an Ingrowing eye, which, I take {t, is @ .nalady even more new fangled and @slightfully up to date than appen- dicttis, Bays Miss Ella: “The eye of his body might, {t is true, gaze through the plate glass and fix its regard upon the outward view, but the eye of his mind was turned inward, and had fixed its gaze unfalteringly upon—himeelf.” A man who can feast his view with a Sight of his own innards can scarcely tail to be entertaining. It is a privilege denied to the common or garden mult! tude. We have to accept all knowl edge of our innards from the family physician or from Prof. Huxley's "Ele- ments of Physiology.” Merton Byng was a very lucky modern man, and the pity is that he didn't make better use of that ingrowing eye. He also possessed a very shapely hand —two of ‘em—and the cynical Eile opines that they “would have made his fortune for him had he chosen to court fortune asa surgeon.” He used to trace imaginary diagrams on the grass with the point of the ferrule of Muriei's sun- shade, and his shapely hands invariably id the handle with a light, firm grasp. Byng was in love with Murlel, «| who was daughter of Lord Pomfret y's} ot and who possessed a cozy lttle fortune. He was a struggling lawyer, with his ingrowing eye, and he coveted Muriel’s ready cash. So ne took her to an old kurden and proposed to her. She wore # soft white frock, as heroines have been known te do before when they are going to get proposed to, “He looked at her and her pulses quickened. ihere were moments when she had the ower to quicken his pulses, She had at ul times a sure and certain hold on his affections and sometimes on his sense: But the proposal was a very tame affair. Nothing really happened worth recording—a state of things that holds good as regards the entire world, which fs a thoroughly pulseless and inanimate affair. ‘The girl was such a fool.

Of course he had a for e struggle before he reached this decision, but he finally pro- posed to Sybil in “a paradise made by Liberty, and the trie Light Com- pany, with the aid of Covent Garden, and a young woman who earned thre hundred a year devising paradises for— fools." Sybil told him that she was engaged to another. It was a dreadful blow, and he “dashed a bottle of cham- pagne into a tumbler, as if it were spring water, and drank It thirstily But this modern man, with the ingrow- ing eye, not abashed for long, He went back to Muriel and married her deliberately, living presumably happily ever afterwards—not that anybody who reads the book will care a hang.
