Ireland From

book Of problems. sordldness and tragedy.
so soon again he contributes another
novel. "Alice and a Family" CNfacmll-
Ian. New York;. Versatility is certainly
one OF Mr.. Irvine's dominant qualities,
for this time he gives us a picture of
Irish life from the humorous point of
view. Not that he imagines humor is
void OF problems. For Mr.. Nubbs, the
widowed father of four children-the last

business. And the worst of It is, "E's

the rescue, as the dying wife had asked
her to. She finds herself managing every
thing IN sight-father, children, household
undertaken, insurance agent. and even
the new business. a newsshop--in a most
engaging manner. and all at the age of 16.
There is more in the book than the
humor of the situations. There is char
acter drawing of no small value, and
there is endless enjoyment for the reader
from many angles. Behind all we have
that charming Irish background. always
so fascinating to those who know Ireland

as only native can.

The Jacob Stahl Trilogy

That the remarkable trilogy Of Mr..
Beresford-"The Early History of Jacob
Stahl." IA Candidate for Truth" and
1.-THE Invisible Event'-is a splendid ex-
ample OF modern realism no one can deny.
But that It easily ranks with the novels
of Wells, Galsworthy and Bennett, as
some of the critics so bravely say, Is a
question OF doubt. Wells has more vital
ity and moves with greater force: Gals
worthy Is an artist to the core, and even
his realism never let's beauty OF express
sion take a second place. With Mr..
Beresford neither vitality nor artistry
are so marked. and though 1t would be
impossible to say he had failed in the
task before him-that of depicting the in
innate and even trivial life of an ordinary
man, with human weaknesses and reac-
tions-to the greater, rather than the
lesser interest of his readers, stlll he
lacks the freedom of expression and de-
velopment which the true realism of the
Jean Chrlstoph" or the Russian type
accomplish so admirably.
But STILL we know Jacob Stahl. His
early history, his associates and his
environment, give us a BACKGROUND
painted with a knowledge Of psychology,
human nature and ultimate results. In
the Candidate for Truth" he struggles
with new forces and finds himself facing
a crisis of real love and courage. Through
out there Is every evidence that Jacob is
true man, with the strength and the
weakness of us all. And though THE In
visible Event" may bring him finally to
middle-class marriage and domesticity
(after a miserable attempt at an earlier
time) still there is no mistaking the fact
that there is genuineness in the develop
ment, and lovers of realism will find the
simplicity of the outcome satisfying
enough to forgive the evident lack of
vitality Even a certain kind of weak
ness may carry conviction with It; and
a writer who feels and thinks as Mr.
Beresford does probably lacks vitality
from temperament.

Ellen Kew and Peace

Idealism is not generally welcomed
these days. but 1t has, its place, even
among the milltarists who think they
argue from the practical side" alone.
In her newest set of essays, "The Young
er Generation" putnam, N W. Ellen
Key very keenly analyses the coming
generation, their relations to the past and
the future and community, and adds a
few pointed thoughts on the big question
Of war In her far-sighted manner she
wishes for the young people of today
more solitude. less association" so that
they may not feel an inward emptiness

and Intuition" are the rights and neces-
stiles OF youth
Ellen Key may not supply a practical
method for accomplishing her ideals, but
her knowledge of human nature and her
belief in progress toward a larger COM
munity of spirit, give plenty of founda-
ton for her remarks. To the women,
tho young mothers of the coming genera
tiona. who teach their children by the
head instead of by the hand, she gives
her special message. On them rests the
duty of a worldwide peace, and only
through their teachings can that state
be brought about. OF these mothers, she
says:
They must teach their sons to dream
OF giving their country. not a life, but
:" HANS WIN NtN9 must dabOClhte tnelr
sons ambitions and self-sacrlhce with
peace Instead OF with war"
Il is plain enough that a child instilled
with these beliefs will grow to see the
strong inter-relation between each coun-
try community and indvidual-which Is
the bottom OF the peace movement. And
through this relationship comes the de-
yelopment OF the individual, which Is
