voluminous descriptions-defnite, exact
and rounded-blend here with that larger
sort Of description wherein the things
seen stand bathed in the essences and
an evocation. as it were, of the spirit OF
that past. Yet, certainly and above
everything else. this is no RHAPSODY over
the sublimity of classic Greece. It is,
rather very much in the present-alert,
observant, discriminating, with an eve
to the lighter. laughing side Of eastern
life. as well as to its reminiscent mys-
terry. When Mr.. Hichens lapses into
vision and retrospect he Is justified and
warranted in this. The book has all the
qualities of an inspired and glorified
guide. But 1T is, as mere book, much
too fine for this service It's mission,
therefore, is to act as guide in imaginary
voyages de luxe through this oriental
corner OF the western world.
ART AND COMMON SENSE. By Royal
Sortissoz. author Of Augustus

ton: Brentano's,
The title of this book describes the
attitude that Mr.. Cort ssoz seeks to main
tain toward his subject in the presence
or his readers. And 1t is only fair to say
at once that at no time does he forget or
neglect this happy but unusual approach
TO the subject of art. Out of this COM
plete fidelity to his implied promise even
the average reader feels like an intel l.
gent human being taking in information
about art and finding distinct pleasure in
the process. In the usual situation of this
sort the average reader feels as if his
brain Is some bl nd abortive thing, CROP

and easily disposes of the artists FETCH
technique-by calling 1t 'just the decency
of the artistic life He pushes the solemn
pundits of art aside. He bids pedantry
and prejudice ''go hang and joyfully
sets out to supplant the cryptic nonsense
of the critics with refresh :ngly real talk
about the intimacies and inspirations of
art In larger outline this informal discus
sion gathers up the new tendencies and
movements in art. together with its nota-
Bile achievements in Europe and Amer
lea within the past sixty years-from the
middle of the nineteenth century to the
present An initial study of Ingres serves
as a point Of departure from which to
survey many-sided revolt against the
tradition of painting. This revolt sprays
out into schools, cults and even cliques
The author examines the peculiar fea-
lures that this revolt takes on in differ
ent countries-in France. Holland. Spa n.
England, America-and outlines its effect
upon individual artists. Here are adj
mirably sympathetic and discriminating
studies of Sargent. Whistler, Rodin and
a group of American architects. There
is. too. a wisely critical analysis of 1.-The
post-impressionistic illusion and a wide
comment on the memorable exhibition in
New York last spring. "Post-impression-

corrupted, or, at least, corruptible, by
money. or whether he is willing to show
that the average reformer is an impos-
sible bundle of egotism and self-right-

novel is familiar. 1t is, too. an appealins
theme. And it will be such so long as
we are pleased to forget that human ma
ture Is. after all, pretty evenly distrib-
uted, that the rich are not all devils out
of the mere fact of being rich, nor the

but that, instead, each, whether poor or

story than IL is now.
PELLE THE CONQUEROR: BoyhOod.
By Martin Andersen Nexo. Trans
lated from the Danish by Jessie
Muir. Introduction by Prof. otto
Jespersen. New York: Henry Holt
& Co.
So far as this particular book goes,
it's hero. the little boy ''Pel.e." looks not
the least in the world like a con
queror'' of any sort. But we are told
that this author has on the way three
more stories about Pelle, and in them
we may see him in truly heroic role
Pelles boyhood on the Island of Born
holm, in the Baltic. is the theme of this
book. 1t is an amazingly traascriphve
story of farm life-of pain folks, of wo-k,
of close thoughts and closer feelings,
a steady round OF monotonouS tasks set
against background of broad fields In
which cattle browse and upon which huge
grain-filled barns make proclamation or
the masters prosperity. Pelie is the son
of a farm servant. of in ompetent, lovao.e
old Lasse. and the story itself is one OF
the little tragedies and comedies of pJy-
erty. 1t closes with Pelle on his ~ay
to an apprenticeship in a neighboring
town from which We have the promise
of hearing more about him. "Pelle tie
Conqueror," in approach and mann r,
suggests Roman hollands first book OF
ean-Christophe." Both alike are adj
dressed to the readers Of literature that
possesses all the qualities of perma-
nency.

works have been held at knoe dler s.,

he has many ardent admirers, but he
does not frequently exhibit in the an

and for that reason his pictures are less

time that a comprehensive display of

No Reason.

There is no reason why men who
are at Washington asking for an OPP
portunity to be heard against pro-
visions of the Tariff bill which are
believed to be menacing to the bust
ness interests which they represent,
should be disconnected by the Pres
dents attempt to represent them as
engaged in activities to be con-
demned.
Never before had a President of
the United States sought to bring
reprOach upon men desiring to pre-
sent arguments concerning legislation
Hitherto, the right to do that has
been regarded as part of the con-
stitutional right of free speech.
If the President meant to refer to
other, concealed activities, he did not
make them known. If he has knowl-
edge of anything underhand, dishon-
est, that is being done to influence
the Congress, it was his duty to make

active, but he did not mention by

limited strongly at the improper use
of money, but failed to present evil
dence that would warrant such ut
terance.

citizens who believe that their legit-
innate business interests are threat
