MRS. MARTINS MAN.

This story Of the Belfast OF to-day is
perhaps best described as an Irish
House with the Green shutters The
comparison is not exact, since IT may
we'll be doubted if Mr.. Ervine, IN writ
ing this book. had any such motive as
the revolt from kailyard saccharinlties
which inspired the grim Scotch story,
but the result is the same. Here is the
reverse of the mystic glamor OF the
neo Celtic literary movement, wnlch, IN
fiction al least, finds It's most alluring
presentation in the works OF James
Stephens. in his "Croca OF Gold and
"The Demi-Gods." Mr.. Erylne's PLAIN
people live the matter of-fact lie OF
our period amid the conditions OF our
period. which are very much the same
the world over IN its large cities. The
impression it makes Is not altogether
unlike that produced By the contrast
presented in ''The Patriot" played here
some years ago by Lady Gregory com
pany.
This book is exceptional. further
more. in its reversion 10 the literal real
ism which George Moore introduced into
English fiction some thirty years ago.
I'm its manner, though not in its sub
iect-matter. il is reminiscent OF "A
Mummer's Wife" Mr.. Erskine has 10
reticences; questions of taste do not
concern him He does not in the least

characters refer TO each others spades
end the uses to which they put them
with a circumstantial frsnkness that IS
as startling as, no doubt, II is literally
true The story, spadlng vigorously

family mess. is unpleasant, uncouth
with the uncouthness of the class Of
people with which it deals
And yet Mrs. Martin is remark; Bile

and pockets the key with 4 determine

carnation OF the pTosaic, vigorous com
mon sense Of the common people sccus-
toned 10 deal with the raw side of life.
The author has a splendid knack OF
drawing character; every member Of
this family divided against itself
stands out distinctly. He vindcates his
return to an earlier form OF realism,
which has had Us day and done its ser
vice. by the result he obtains. But It
is sordld story.

This story Of an American physicians

The novel IS a meritorious addition to
the many studies in fiction of the
