Not at all. It fe merely @ random paragraph from the latest story of #o- clety's official monitor, Mrs. Edith Wharton, that etheriatized muse, who once descended from the peaks of cul- | ture long enough to become the author of a “best seller, “The House of Mirth.” her Times, Other Manners,” ts the title of the two-part etory of New York's moral somersault which Mrs. Wharton has contributed to the July and August numbers of a@ current Magazine, Our greatest artist in dry-| point literature, Mrs, Wharton, etches | a picture of @ woman divorced, r married and socially exiled, who rt turns to New York to find that her daughter has aplit the dance of life between two partners in the eame man- ner but with Mfferent results. Mrs. Lidcote is the name of the el-| derly pilgrim who had left New York when the primrose path of those who| follow their own desires was strewn with penitential ashes, perhaps with a Samaritan intention of preventing them from further slips. She is, according to her creator, a woman with @ past, ac- aquired in the good old days when “pasts” amounted to something in New York society and were kept in the closet with the family skeleton instead of be- ing hung on the front door. as they are to-day. MOTHER 18 NEVER ALLOWED TO FORGET “PAST” “When she was alone it wi the past that occupied her,’ Wharton. “She couldn't get away from {t, and she didn't any longer care to.
