ANDREW LANG.

Lang was the most versatile. the most
feeund and the most learned man IL was
ever my good fortune 20 know init
mately. He was the only scholar in the
narrowest sense OF the word as well as
in the widest) who was able 20 combine
the pursuit Of scholarship with the
practice Of daily and weekly journal
ism. When | first met him he was en-
gagged in writing a daily editorial ar
ticle in Daily News upon literary
and social topics; and selection OF
these has been repleyined from the
swift oblivion Of the back number IN

His fame suffered from the fact that

a working journalist; then he was a
scholar. abundant IN contribution and
discovery; and finally he was man OF
letters. Nor IS this full statement Of
his infinite variety, for as man OF
letters he appeared in three guises: as
a critic. as an essayist and as poet.
Il never need be wondered at that a
versatility so truly unique should
awaken doubts-doubts naturally IN

THE LEOPARD WOMAN

DID, 49, Doubleday. Page * 90.
From the Arctic North, from the
silent Places one Of his best books
Mr.. White takes Us 20 the heart OF
Africa. from Nairobi onward. Real
Nimrod that he is. ne spares Us fur
thor description OF a sporting paradise
where sport has been standardized ana
commercialized. and plunges US right
into the Jungle, over mountains and
through forests. On the way he can
not fOrcgo the pleasure Of telling US
what big game shooting really is
there are some strenuous encounters
with the rhinoceros we are on
even more serious business bent. The
elephant hunter and his 5afarl are on
the edge Of the unexplored regions.
Water is scarce there that IS the sum
total Of his knowledge OF what lies
before him. And there. the last place
in the world. another traveller IN the
desert overtakes him, woman, young,
handsome, whose precise English be-
trays the fact that she is a foreigner.
Her safari is far stronger in numbers
than his; her headmau is Of a tribe
unknown in British East Africa. Thus
the war has its echo in the Dark Con-
tinent and furnishes the foundation Of
a plot which IS rich in the romance Of
maturity, the antago-ism and the
drawing together OF a strong man and
a daring woman. Mr. White makes US
see Africa. makes us feel the hush Of
its mystery. The natives live; the
landscape is dotted with its fauna. and
the human story has the strength o.
daring. endurance and passion. 4 book

VIEWS AND REVIEWS
OF CURRENT FICTION
Fannie Hursts Tales Of the Submerged-Lucas Malets
Study of the Spirit of Pace-Stewart Edward
White in Africa-Other New Novels

without straight narrative One is at
times inclined 70 believe that she car
ries this method too far. Take "Sea
Gullibles.' The talk here is always
IN character. the talk of the lower East
Side carried 10 the Upper West on the
wave OF prosperity. A social stratum
IS thus made to reveal itself, with
its changing background. its ante
cedents, its shifting viewpoints and
outlook and aspirations. its persisting
deficiencies and inhibitions. But less
talk, and more of the telling shortcut
of straight narrative would improve the
tale. We have had little too much Of
late of the Abe and Mawruss dialect,
and that fact may influence the opinion
expressed here, but the danger for
Miss Hurst is there. However, this
IS only a question Of technique. As a
revealing contribution TO our knowl-
edge of how the other half lives this
volume Of stories deserves to be ranked

THE KINGDOM OF THE BLIND

THE KINGDOM OF THE BLIND: ~ f. Phillips
oppenheim. FrOniSpiece by r Vaux Wilson.
limo. %. 3e5. Boston: Little. Brown Co.
Mr.. Oppenheim has now 70 his credit
some fifty tales of mystery and interna-
tional intrigue. without counting the
books which at one time he wrote IN
der a pen-name, invented to provide
an additional outlet for his prolific and
apparently inexhaustible inventiveness.
Before the war he had already dealt
with the rumored Vaccinations of Ger
man secret agents in England; its out
break gives his new story an air Of
actually that makes IL one of his
best. The world owes him a great debt
for much capital entertainment. He IS
a veritable public benefactor who with
his first chapter drives away all thought
of the worries and cares Of the days
work.
With all his experienced deftness,
Mr. Oppenheim rarely becomes mechan-
ical, certainly not in this story Of
The Kingdom of the Blind" which Is
England in the early days of the war.
when rumors Of spies and secret agents,
Of cipher messages, signals and IN
traceable ways of communication with
the enemy were rife. when every man
and woman with a German name was
suspect to the British public and press,
while the government. IN the opinion
of both. remained unforgivably lax.
How much of this was true, how much
of it was caused by baseless panic. can
not be decided. There was great deal
