their ambitions.

claimed that during her captivity she received
a letter from jefferson Davis offering her
lieutenant's commission if she would enlist in
the Confederate service. This, wever, was
not established. The girl had no home and no
relatives, but she said she preferred to fight
as private soldier for the Stars and Stripes
than to accept any commission up TO that of
lieutenant general in the Confederate army.
She was finally exchanged. She said, upon

MT. Shaw is always superficial and al
ways unjust. He Is frequently anus
ing and never positively tiresome, al
though he has as little real conception
OF art AIS he has OF life, and of the
piaywright's craft knows nothing.
Politically, Mr.. Shaw is a Socialist;
socially, he is a. trifer: artistically, he
is nothing; as an ethical teacher. he Is
e. zero with the rim removed. Like all
w1ll-o'-the-w isps, his visibility is mere
ly miasnatic brilliance, now glinaps ed
and now Withdrawn. The light with
which he shines is neither for warmth
nor illumination. This is, perhaps,
pity, since Mr.. Shaw seems sincere in
his desire to help the world along a
bit. and has eleverness enough to do
go did he go about the task in work
manlike manner. Like most modern re-
formers, however, he is destructive
rather than constructive. If a man be-
lieves neither in the perfectibility Of
human nature, nor in the inner vitality
Of human institutions, nor in ''the
stream Of tendency that makes for
righteousness" 1t is hard to see what
helpful purpose his criticism of human
society can serve. "To me-" he says,
"the tragedy and comedy of life lie in
the consequences, sometimes terrible
sometimes ludicrous Of cur persistent
attempts to found our institutions ON
the ideals suggested to our magma
tons by our half-satisfed passions, in
stead Of On a genuinely scientific nat
ural history" The sentence gives his
point of view, but history coDtradicts
his differences. It may be unfortunate
but science never has and never will
blaze the path of human progress. for
the simple but sufficient reason that
1t has no power to light the torch in the
hearts of men.

be plays, More and Less Unpleasant"
for even in his most playful mood it
is Impossible for Mr.. Shaw to be Who'll
ly agreeable. The first volume is given
up to the Unpleasant" plays, con-
corning which the author speaks as fol-
lows in his arrogant and amusing pref
ace:
I'm 'Widowers' Houses I have shown
middle-class responsibility and young
er-son gentility fattening on the pow
erty Of the Sums as flies fatten on
filth. In The Philanderer' 1
have shown the grotesque relations be-
tween men and women which have
arisen under marriage laws which rep
resent to some Of us a political neces-
stty; to some a. divine ordinance; to
some romantic ideal; to some do
nestle profession for women, and to
some that worst Of laundering abom-
nations, an institution which society
has outgrown, but not modified"
AS a. matter Of fact, hunanity's ex
trennity seems to he Mr.. Shaw's OPP
portunity, and he makes much Of il.
1t Is easy to see that the plays were
more pleasant to write. than they are
to read. Regarded as a device to keep
an active mind from worse mischief,
play writing is above fly fishing or any
Of the average forms OF sport. II Mr..
Shaw prefers to occupy himself in this
rather than in the more conventional
forms of amusement, the public can
afford to let him do so. 1t is not oblig-
| ed to read his plays.
