it's windows were whitened with sea salt

hair tightly drawn back from her fore

stance that the inn was bleached with

them was Jew. He had only one eye.

story says that fear fell upon the inn.

SOME NEW FICTION

The collection OF Stories from Rus
sian Life" by Anton Tchekoff, which
Marian Fell has translated (Charles
Scribner's Sons). are fragments of real
ity rather than fiction. The author has
the gift OF holding the readers attention
to the phase OF life that interests him
and of impressing him with It's impor-
lance, Insignificant though the incident
may seem on the surface. Some OF the
tales are poetic, some have the form OF
humor. but all are saddening and full
OF hopelessness. That is the required
stamp for modern Russian literature
though we imagine that even in Russia
and even among the Russian poor there
are plenty OF people who lead a nor
mally cheerful life and who go about
their business as most people do in
other parts OF the world. The Russian
writer's will not look at these, however.
1t may be that those who can read them
only in TRANSACTIONS would suspect them
Of not being genuine Russians II they
did.
