All the people In John Reed Scott =
THE Red Emerald Co., y. Lipp!ncott
Company are fluent conversationalists
They talk so much and so continuously
that the author only has time to drop a
few hints about his story at rare inter
walls. AT the outset We infer that he Is
dissatisfied with the conduct OF our
diplomatic service and would like to have
1t taken out OF politics and kept on a
rigid civil service basis. The subject Is
thoroughly threshed out. but It has
nothing to do with the story. Later a
search for some concealed jewels is sug-
gested and after !nterminable discussion
Is undertaken. The stream Of talk Is SO
steady that It is hard to find out whether
anything Is done. and the quality is so
uniform that the characters cannot be
told apart. whether they are men or
women.
