Each new book from Mrs. Frankau's
pen has been a new departure, vent
ure into different field. She never
repeats herself she never acts upon
the comfortable theory so much prac-
tised. especially in England, that the
material which has yielded one book
may be worked over into a second and
a third. In Full Swing" she gives us
tive character chained TO negative
temperament which turns into failure
almost until it is too late a life that
might have been full of happiness and
loving service from the first. The love
and the service are there, but they
bring this woman no comfort, because
her manner in giving them is uncon-
vincing, often repellent: because the
recipients cannot understand her Duty
is always at war with affection in her
ministrations; and shyness, growing
with increasing failure ties her tongue,
longing TO appeal, 10 make herself bet
ter understood She refuses the man
she should have married from feeling
of duty to her stepsister who, at eigh-
teen. elOpes with a ne rdo-well, and,
dying. leaves her daughter in her care.
When she does marry, at forty, 1t is
the wrong man; and she almost wrecks
her sons life. again through her mis-
taken sense of duty. The story reaches
far, from her own well appointed Eng
Bsh estate to the castle rackrent of ner
Irish husband;'to the vcldt in the South
African war, and. finally, back TO home
and peace at last. a true and under
standing study of character.
