THE DEW POND. By Charles Mar
riott. New York: John Lane Co.

$1.3O net.
MI. Floyd Dell, the editor OF the
admirable though attenuated Friday
Literary Review Of the Chicago Even
ing Post, has some judicious things
to say about Charles Marriott's latest
story, The Dew Pond"
1T is like Mr.. Marriott's others in
being different from ordinary novels
1t has, too. the same swift under
standing Of women, the same gen
erous understanding OF youth. IN
deed, the book fulhlls the promise Of
has marveiously captured the crystal
line quality Of youth. And yet
II do not like II. The method is,
to my mind. detes1able. l speak

method. And to suggest this method
before I proceed to describe and de-
nounce it, | VIII say that it resembles
that Of Henry James.
ut is, that is to say. psychological.
The book presents to US the souls OF
two people in chief, and of a dozen
others incidentally, not through rep
resentative actions, nor even by
r~eyelatory speeches, but by means Of
their thoughts and feelings, and hat
not directly, but as reflected in the
thoughts and 1eellngS OF OtheTs-
THE truth is, to .attem1t to leave
out speech and action from the his
tory Of the soul is like taking away
from a burning brand the mere wood
and hoping thereby to retain the pure
fame. Mr.. Marriott does not in this
novel leave out the speech and action
Of his characters; but it is speech and
action deprived of its own integrity
and continuity. not being allowed free
plav. but sliced off and put under the
lens for the sake Of the soul-stuff it
contains. The result is a dessicated
thing bearing no resemblance to the
firm, warm, sweet flesh Of Reality.
Life a it's own rhythms: and for
a fctionist to select too carefully, too
exclusively his materials among the
mass offered by life is to miss. TO leave
out, to distort and degrade the noble
rhythnls of life. That is the justifica-
ton Of the novel-it has, With its
large gleanings from life. some of tSe
solid aspects Of life. 1t is q body.

THE DRIFT OF GERMAN So
CIALISM.

German Socialism, which is every
where regarded as the standard and
bulWark Of the true faith, has in re-
atty been drifting rapidly away from
the tenets Of pur MARKHAM theory.
this, according to a writer in the
ideas are killing the Marxism which
is the foundation of German Social
Democracy The earliest exception
to the teachings of Karl Marx was
taken by the men who about twenty
years ago began to that the pre-
dicted concentration Of all mean OF
production In the hands of the CAPT
talist class does not hold good for land
and the farmer. Since then the as
saultS have been many:

Erfurt program has eSca ped ~repudia-
ton by Socialist pens. Calwer. Schip-
pei. Bernhard, and many other able
Social Democrats have attacked So
cialist economies. The Revisionist
Quessel exposes the delusion that so
ciety is becoming sharply divided into
capitalists and proletarians. The Re-
yisioniSt chief, Bernstein, rejects the
dogma Of the ultimate public oWner-
ship Of all means Of production. AS
MARKHAM Socialism was originally
purely economic. this overthrowal Of
its economic bases leaves nothing in
tact. But the political, moral. and
other excresences which Social De-
mocracy has grown on TO Marxism
are also impugned by Socialists them
selves. Radical az we'll as R~evisionist
Socialists have modified their mega

cents. Boston: Houghton Mifflin

The author Of this excellent mystery
story has become known to many
readers through stories in the Satur-

calls, and through his books. Jim
Hands," The Man in the Shadow"
and The Blue Wall Mr.. Childs is
not, however, a professional novelist,
being a Boston lawyer.
The Blue Wall" which is allitera-
lively described on the title page as
"a story Of strangeness and struggle
may be called a psychological detec-
tive story. 1t has nevertheless enough
action to make it an adventure story
too. The action, the Characterization.
the complication and the unfolding Of
the plot, are managed with much
skill. There are few readers of fic-
ton who can fail to enjoy The Blue
Wall and to welcome other books
by the same author.

THE HOUSE OF A THOUSAND
WELCOMES. By T.. II. Lipsett
New York: John Lane Co. Illus

trated. $3.50 net.
The action in this story begins in
Ireland, but is shortly transferred,
with a group Of Irish people, both
male and female, to a boarding house
on Lexington Avenue in New York
city. This establishment, conducted
by some of our Irish friends, shelters
some Of the others, with an assert
ment of Americans, and bears the in
ScriptiOn "Cead Mile Failthe'-the
house Of a Thousand Welcomes.
MIR. Upset has created some en-
joyable situations and a plot which is
sufficient for about half Of his 323
pages. The last chapters become
steadily less Interesting. The dia-
logue sounds more and more like an
echo of earlier chapters; the charac-
terS become less and less sane or
probable, and the plot goes to moth
ing.
The author has much to learn about
the novelist's technique. Possessing
a keen sense of pathos and hurnor,
and a knowledge Of some interesting
types, both American and Irish, Mr..
Upset ought, by considering his
readers a little more carefully, to find
a more secure place among our
writer's Of fiction.

THE APACHES OF NEW YORK.
BY Alfred Henry Lewis. New
York: G.. ". Dillingham; Co. IL
Illustrated. $l.25 net.

This volume, which IS specially
timely IN view Of recen doings in the
heart OF law-abiding New York. con-
tains twelve tales OF Gangland. The he
roes and heroines are ladies and gen.
tlemen OF doubtful professions
Chick Thicker, indian Louie, Pretty
Agnes. Aoilie SQuint. Mike Abrams
and Bin Ellison. and a Whole tribe
more OF ~pickpockets, dive-keeperS
street Women and thugs.
The book has undoubted merits.
The plots are interesting. the charac.
tiers are worth knowing about, and
the slang is no less delightful than
convincing. Tho principal literary
defect of the book is an absence OF
point and focus in the twelve stories.
Though realistic and interesting, they
are discursive. They are not short
stories. but tales.
Such books as The Apaehes Of
New York are desirable only in
small doses, even for adults. Too
many stories in which thieves play the
major parts are demorafizing unless
duly interspersed with reading or
duties which keep the sense OF law
and obligation from going asleep.
Variety. be it remembered, is the
spice Of literature no less than Of
life.
