THE WALL STREET GIRL.

THE WALL STREET GIRL BY Frederick orn
Bartlett Illustrations by George BINS NOAe'
Emo pp. 33i Houghion. Aniain Company.
It was worth while to put this grace
full bit of magazine fiction between
covers. 1t is light, wholesome, and ro-
mantle in the modern manner. No
problems are discussed; though, If the
reader so chooses, he can, after he has
finished the story, discover some
serious elements. And what, indeed,
is romance without a serious founda-
tion of promised love and happiness.
with enough and more of the material
left over 70 furnish the capstone ?
Wall Street is the very last place
where either the man or the girl looks
for romance, yet there it comes TO
find them, hurdling prosac bar
ricade Of ticker and desks, carrying all
before it. There are, as a matter OF
fact, two Wall Street girls in the
story, the one its daintiest product, the
daughter of its millions, the other one
or its humble workers, a cog in the
machine. The man? Well. he is a
laundering beginner, placed in an ex-
traordnary position by his fathers
will. The plot is ingenious, but it is
the atmosphere, the spirit of youth,
that makes this bit of minor fiction
such agreeable reading.

part Of non-ltalian readers, is a salts.
factory translation of him. Spanish
German and French TRANSACTIONS may
be good. We leave that for readers
and students in those tongues 20 say.
But the acceptable English version is
vet 10 appear. Numerous renderings
have been made, none Of them without
merit, but none of them meeting the
fundamental requirement of presenting
the subject faithfully in both form and
spirit. Much good Is found in Norton,
and in Tozer. But II is quite obvious
that the work of one Of the most poeti-
cal of poets-if we may perpetrate the
pleonssm-ca cannot be adequately rem
Gered in prose. There are those who
express admiration for Pollock's and
LOngfellow's translations, while to the
majority Cary's is still the standard.
But all these are in blank verse and
that is not congruous with the forri
of the Commedia; nor are the siX-lined
stanzas of Boyd. Plumtre and Hasel-
foot essayed versions in terra rlma,
but while they achieved the form they
fell far short OF the spirit of the orig
inal. If this were a foodtide season
Of English poetry, we should suggest
that the best genius of them all could
find no task more worthy Of his muse
than q definitive translation OF the
Commedia; which should do for it, let
US say, something like what Fitzgerald
did for Omar.
To turn, however. to the works in
hand, it is to be observed that they
stand at almost the two extremes OF
Dantean commentary. The one IS in
tensely analytical, . the other almost
purely synthe tical. or at least synopti-
cal. Professor Fletcher regards Dante
not as a poet so much as a metaphysl-
clan, theologian and an apostle. Be-
yond doubt Dante was all those things;
as ne was also politician, administra-
tor, diplomat, and what not. He was
probably one of the very most learned
men in the world at his time. in prac-
tically all departments of human
knowledge Moreover, his promulga-
ton and championship of the suprem-
acv of love and Of the freedom Of the
will were Of epochal and epical signifi-
canoe in an age when, Of all the ages
CT the world, the reverse Of those doc
trines most prevailed in church and
state.
Yet Dante's supreme place in the

about all that are sure. The rest IS
supposititious, and may be imaginative.
Nevertheless, despite Norton's die
tum 10 the contrary, It is not necessary
to know Dante as a man in order TO
appreciate him as a poet, any more
than it is to know Homer or Shake
speare. II is necessary, and, of course,
it is easy, 10 know and 10 understand
the times and circumstances IN when
he lived and wrote, just as it is TO have
the same information about Homer and
Shakespeare. Beyond that we need not
inconsolably lament our lack Of in
formation. We can know him and APP
preciate him as a poet if we view him
as did Carlyle, coupling him and
Shakespeare as "a peculiar two" and
saving of them: "They dwell apart, in
a kind Of royal solitude; none equal,
none second to them; IN the general
feeling of the world, certain tran
scendentalism, a glory as of complete
perfection, invests these two

recognition Of services rendered. The
best of feeling prevailed, and the
British hospital provided the materials
for a Hungarian flag which Magyar
contingent substituted for the Austrian
colors waving over the village.
The authors of the book cannot give
sufficient praise to the cheerful
obedience and willingness of the
Austro-Hungarian prisoners who served
them as orderlies in the hospital and
in their living quarters. As IN all cltl-
zen armies, there was no difficulty IN
finding men of all trades to attend to
their requirements, from engineers and
mechanics to a head waiter from
Marienbad land the Carlton HoteD to
take charge of their dining-room.
"There were Czechs and Germans from
Bohemia, Ruthenians and q Jew from
