VIEWS AND REVIEWS
OF CURRENT FICTION
Miss Sinclair's Most Readable New Nove-A Study in
Social Distances and Their Conquest-Short
Stories by Guy de Maupassant.

Conrad points out. He was not e
yhrase maker His theory Of style was
that u should not intervene between
the reader and the story, that it
should be no more than a fawless
plate-glass window through which plot
and characters should present them
selves direct 10 the eye.
10 is perhaps only natural. at this
moment. that Mrs. Galsworthy has
chosen freely from her authors stories
Of the war Of 1870: "Mlle. Fiji" Two
Friends" a Duel" and "Old Mother
Hortense," tales OF the conqueror's ar
rogancc and oppression, Of the hatred
and reyenges o. the defeated. Only
"Boule dc Suif." the best-known Of
them all, IL missing. For the rest
there are "Ivette,' which is a novel
cite rather than short story; the
well-known, pathetic Miss Harriet ~
the pitying Queen IIortensc.' tna-
tragedy Of uufulilied longing for wife
hood and motherhood; The Peace OF
String study Of trle that turns
into drama; AT Sea-" and those two
humorous sketches. "The Umbrella"
and "A Sale" both Of which were
adapted 90 American life several years
ago by Henry Cuyler Bunner with an
ingenuity and a felicity that should
keep the volume which contains them,
made in France" IN active demand.
Bunner had his little Joke with his
readers IN this book, for one OF its
stories was not adapted from Maupas
SAINT. but his own
Mrs. Galsworthy's translations are
excellent. She comes as near the origi-
mails as i is possible TO DO.
