While the Germans dwell monotonously

triple-linked logic. the English character
istically bring forward a thousand de-
fenses as morally salubrious and as ma

Booth Harrington at
His Best in "The Turmoil

There ought to be law protecting nov
elists from their publishers advertise
ments. Day by day it is becoming harder
travagantly and superlatively all-hailed
by some one or other. Day by day the
readers distaste for "the best novel of
the generation grows deeper. There
ought to be a law.
1t would operate greatly to the adNan-
tage of Booth Harrington, whose latest
novel, The Turmoil" is being stupldly
overpraised by the advertisements OF
Harper e. Brothers, publishers. Despite
the quotation on the jacket, the reviewer
is free to say that more beautiful stories
of young love have been conceived. The
attempt to pass this novel off as vital
and stirring and really significant Ameri-
can work Is absurd
The worst OF 1t is that Mr.. Harrington
has written a splendidly interesting novel
dealing openly, If little superfcially,
with American life. The story of the
young man who has the misfortune of
being a poet In family of business men.
and of his triumph in love and in life Is
told with a straightforward vigor and
with "a congregational reality which is
truly remarkable. The characters are not
profoundly studied. but they are plauslbly
and entertainngly set forth. The book
goes ANA ming the spare places tHeTo
are a few glimpses OF the harshness and
the crudity and the downright ugliness of
urban existence which make one wonder
why Mr.. Harrington doesn't go on and
write a real novel. Technically he is ap-
preaching the mastery equipment of Rob-
ert w, Chambers; he has deeper insight
an ingratiatng manner and at times he
hits upon ideas sufficiently Impressive and
appealing to make his novels worth while.
Meanwhile he has written a good tale.
So it Is something of a mystery why he
shouldn't be given credit for that instead
of being asked to carry the mantle and
the sword of greatness His shoulders
aren't quite broad enough for them

The German With
a British Wife

In Rudolph Stratzs His English Wife"
translated into English by A. C. Curtis
Gongmans, Green & Co.. New York;, a
German writer employs a novel of rather
commonplace plot as the vehicle of ex-
preston of his estimates of the English
and the German character. AS might
be expected, the writer is disposed to
give the English somewhat the worst OF
It, representing England with extreme
types of prigs and snobs and arrogant
money grabbers for the most part, though
he does not spare Germany. Helmut
Merker. the principal male character, is
far from a hero Every one all over
the world ought to conform with British
customs the author makes one char
acter say, Evidently It is his view that
this is representative OF most Britons.
Helmut Merker marries a cousin. a
fourth of whose blood is German. AS

book just as soon as you begin to turn its
pages. So many beautiful halftone Illus

and flower compositions that YOU say at

book of suggestions. a book of the science

fodils and sundials. The titles of a few
chapters will indicate the range and even
something of the spirit OF the volume:
Joys and Sorrows of a Trial Garden.
Color Harmonies of a Spring Garden.
Gardening Expedlents," Balance in the
Garden" Companion Crops" Success
sion Crops" Notes on Some OF the
Newer Gladioi." The book is written out
of full experience, and it's wealth OF
poetical quotation is quite in keeping with
the subject.
