by katharine Fullerton Gerould group
ed under the title of the first Vain
Oblations"
While incident plays a conspicuous
part in their construction. they are
chiefly to be noted for their subtle
ANALYSIS Of motive and emotion. as
we'll as Tor their admirable literary
quality. Those in which actual oc.
currcnces are OF more Importance are
the best. though even In these tho
element of psychological analysis is
also potent factor In lending and
enhancing Interest In some OF them
the shades of thought and Of feeling
are almost too iina-drawn to be recos-
nized and identified, so that they lose
in interest
The story Which gives title to the
book is genuinely terrible. Told with
queer indircction, which adds
strength to its reality by compclliuG
the reader tc exercise his imaginat on.
IL relates the story Of white woman
captured by a savage tribe in Africa
and OF her lovers tireless search for
her. The mere suggestion of the tor
lures 10 which the girl was put as
the slave of an African king is enough.
but the authors description of her APP
pearance and OF her actions when She
is at last found is OF character TO
make even the callous reader shudder
with rage and horror
III The Wine OF Violence" Is told
tale OF marital dissension, which Gull
inmates In an execution. and later, In
second and more appalling climax
/ The Tortoise" tells with remarkable
skill OF tiardy-like trick OF inexor-
able fate, and "On the Staircase" Is
complicated and modern ghost story

Kingdom" and The Case of Paramore'
are al OF the extremely fne-drawn
character, mentioned as being OF less
