thusiasm is like to that Of the lady
whom he quotes, who. upon beholding
the Grand Canyon Of the Colorado,
confessed that all she could say was,
My! my!'-though he says that and
a great deal more, too. In this book
the spots most characteristic OF Amer

are visited in the order which a pill
grim to them would naturally follow IL
he set out from New England. The
word America" is employed as the
abbreviation of the United States OF

coasts. quaint Colonial harbors and
out of the-world islands rich in legends
and originals" The second kind Of
romance portrayed is the most dis
tinctively American: 1T lies in the
glamour Of an industrial civilization

Scenes in the Play of Interna

THE MECCAS OF THE WORLD. New

don BY Anne Warwick. illustrated.
Svo. PIP. 2j9. The John Lane Company
This is an interesting book and an
exasperating one. It's author. a Brit
ish novelist Of some distinction, looks
on at the play of metropolitan life from
the critics seat In London. Great
Britains right it is TO judge. OF this
there is no manner Of doubt in Miss
Warwick's mind. But she is not only
critic, she is playwright. stage man
ager and scene painter as well. New
York is to her the city still I'm re-
hearsal." overwhelming but crude.
Paris is the great, finished artist;
Vienna is a children's performance.
thoughtlessly gay, occupied only with
the pleasures to be drawn from tee
present moment, intent on making life
one long succession Of just such agree
able moments and nothing more. Ma
drid is the broken down actor. imper-
turbable in his dignity, unaware of his
fall. And London, az has already been
said, is the critic. 1t passes the world
in review and gives judgment.
The weakness Of Miss Warwick
book is that she changes her seat SO
often in the course of the performance:
her point Of view is not the same in
any two of her four acts. In the last
when she returns home, 1t is but to
approve, and to demonstrate that what
criticism she makes is evidence OF still
other Projections.
She says many striking things, and
some Of them have the merit OF being
true. She never hesitates. She Is

on her canvas with the sureness OF
what appears to be only superficial
knowledge. If her lion roars his loud
