THE CRITIC IN THE OCCIDENT
BY George Hamlin Fitch. author OF
Comfort Found in Good Old Books.
etc. illustrated from photographs
San Francisco: Paul Elder & Co.
This record of European travel is made
for the benefit of the many who must
travel by proxy. What one specially likes
about the book is that its writer goes his
own way. does his own seeing and renders
perfectly individual, unstereotyped ac-
count Of what he sees. This opens a
fresh route to the reader. even though II
may overlap in every particular the course
commonly taken by travellers In Greece
the author talks about art chiefly, as he
does also in Italy. 1t is good talk. Its
basis is knowledge of art. It's manner
is that of common sense. AS yet. there Is
not so very much of general interest, be-
sides art, to talk about in these two
countries. but In France Mr.. Fitch gives
flashes of the romance of the country, the
characteristics of this thrifty people, in
addition to making a tour of their cities
and pointing out their arts Of architecture
and painting in London one follows this
fresh-visioned guide through the smoke
and fog to all the familiar places, and
then with him returns to the sky-scrap1ng
wonders of New York. Practical tips to
for each of the countries visited, together
with an abundance of admirable and well
chosen pictures. round out this interesting
and useful travel book.
SOME LETTERS OF WILLIAM
Introduction, by Daniel Gregory
Mason. Boston: Houghton Miffltn
Company.
You may perhaps. on general prin-
ciples, open this book not overeagerly.
for you do not like to read strange let
ters Few do. And yet, having COM
menced to read. you forget. within the
first half-dozen pages. any reluctance
to begin and any aversion to reading
an unknown persons correspondence.
For at the door you are met by an
open and persuasive personality-not
In any sense a stranger man tre-
mendously absorbed in life, prodigious-
ly busy about any number of things
teaching, writing plays and poetry,
and In off times making text books.
What he says through the intimate
medium of friendly letters about these
various interests and the way in which
he says these things combine here in
vigorous thought and stimulating writ
ing. Much of the man himself comes
out incidentally here-the man of
many gifts. Mr. Mason's introduction
to the letters pays loving tribute to
the friend and defines, in general lines.
the direction and quality Of Mr..
Moody's literary work

THE ETERNAL MASCULINE; Stories
OF Men and Boys. BY Mary Ray
mond Shipman Andrews. Illustrat-
ed New York: Charles Scribner's
Sons.
These nine stories treat OF the ''unerad-
icable boyhood" Of the male persuasion.
The play spirit is unquenchable In the
man or boy. and here are proofs, or
rather evidences, In these irresistible bits
OF fiction that are in reality pages out
Of the real lives OF real people. They
treat In large part OF outdoor things
and show that Mrs. Andrews has spent
has some close friends who are inveterate
fishermen and huntsmen. It is difficult
to choose among these excellent tales,
but one that makes the strongest appeal
is doubtless 1.-The Captains which de-
scribes the reawakening Of the boy spirit
to remain dormant.
HERE ARE LADIES. BY James
Stephens; author Of THE Crock OF
Company.
And not only ladies, but men as well.
and In most Of these sketches the ladies
and men are in some sort OF conjunction.
save the old gentleman OF the concluding
tale, There is a Tavern in the Town"
who SO delectably discourses in mono
logue on all sorts Of subjects. Mr..
stephens, who will not be long in win
ming international laurels If he can keep
up his present pace. and particularly II
he can produce sustained work OF
greater length than these sketches. Is an
Irishman who has all the whimsical
quality Of Barrie and Locke and a de-
lightful range Of vocabulary and vivid
power of character dei1neadon. These
papers, printed under the quaint title
Here are ladies'. are niue more man
story outlines, and yet each Is complete
in its suggestive force. Mr.. Stephens has
the faculty of COMPRISING life mar
rative into the proportions Of even less
than the average short story without OBJ
securing the contours or distorting pro-
portions.

One knows. OF course, at once that the
dervish sitting in 1.-The street that Is call
ed straight" is not real dervish at all,
but only some sort OF an imitation. and 1t
is quite plain, too, that the imitation Is
made in America" because no one but
a fool American would think Of trying to
pass himself off as a genuine Mos1em In
the very heart Of Damascus. It later de-
velops that this young man who takes
such desperate chances has peculiar quail

puzzled over it, while he helped to bring
the mud. Where was Paddy's room go
ing to be II he piled up the mud that
way? But he didn't like to ask questions
so he kept right on helping. Paddy would
dive down to the bottom and then come
up with double handfuls of mud, which
he held against his chest. He would
scramble out onto the platform and wad-
die over to the pile In the middle, where
he would put the mud and pat it down.
Then back to the bottom for more mud.
And SO the mud pile grew and grew
until 1t was quite two feet high. Now
said Paddy. '1'll build the walls. and I
guess you can't help me much with those.
I'm going to begin them tomorrow night.
Perhaps you will like to see me do it,
Cousin jerry

puZzling over that pile of mud in the
middle.

Paddy the Beavers House.

Jerry Muskrat was very much inter
ested when he found that PADDY the
Beaver. who, you know. is his cousin,
was building a house. Jerry is house
builder himself, and right down deep IN
his heart he very much doubted If Paddy
could build as good a house as he could
His house was down I'm the Smiling Pool

But at last Peter was rewarded. There

tributed. And best of all there is no
straining for effect, or originality-th e
language Is perfectly unaffected and nat
ural. Attainment in art means long
study and effort but Miss Howe undoubt-
eddy gives promise of success.
Adjacent to the group Of paintings by
Miss Howe is group of drawings in pen
and ink by Annie l.. Walter. which is
likewise of more than passing interest
These are small studies and they are done
In an extremely delicate way, but with
sincerity and distinction. One is of bas-
ket another of a teapot and jar, yet an
other of bridge with surrounding coun-
try. The touch is sympathetic and in
telligent.
Again to the left is yet another group of
pen and ink sketches. very different, how
ever, in style. These are by Mabel Jones
and are bold and direct in treatment. One
is Of house in a poor quarter with an
| awninged store In its basement another
shows rural house before which stands
q cart. The compositions are well chosen
and the work unhaltingly done.
Miss Ruth Osgood shows quite number
of little sketches of figures and animals
that are extremely clever and full OF
character. Miss Lowe exhibits number
of water colors of the rocky seacoast,
which, while high keyed, have much
charm of color luminosity and truth in
effect. Miss Lessey, a former pupil. con-
| tributes the work in sculpture, baS-re-
| lief, nicely modelled, OF a little girl. Miss
| Florence Harris shows some excellent
garden studies made in oils, and Miss
