DEATHS LULLABY
By ISABEL MOORE.

Death sings:
Sleep thou, o heart, so sad, so tired anc
broken,
Lay thou confdingly upon my breast:
Eternal peace will such an act betoker
And perfect rest.
Give up thyself unto my ready keeping
Trust with thine all unto my lullaby
care,
And on thee shall the we'll earned JOY
OF sleeping
Fall unaware.
Within these arms, so strong, so true
and tender,
There is refuge for thy weary head
What though the world thinks it sac
surrender
And calls thee dead:--
'Tis but the names of things that balk
mans knowing,
And hold him in a thraldom rank
with fears:
Then sleep that sleep, beyond all, rest
bestowing,
Till dawn appears!

ME Fadden, Mr.. Dooley, Artie. Not
that Hermione has anything in COM
mon with these roughnecks, except a
willingness to uplift them, whatever
the cost to herself Come to think Of
il, we know that she must be the
granddaughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Poti-
phar. the grandniece of Miss Flora
McFlimsy. the goddaughter of Selma
White. She is part Of our literature OF
social satire.
We all know her and recognize her
bromidian patter. But we know her
companions on the hard road to the
perfection Of the Ego no less well.
Who says that the American business
man, shaving at his Office for wealth
for his women TO spend, gets no fun
out Of life? Listen TO the occasional
remarks Of Hermione's father on the
subject of the dear Swami. Can't you
see him scrutinizing Fothergil Finch,
the poet, and turning away with a
grin? And won't you like to know
whether Fothergil. who writes vers
libres in a purple gown, will marry
Hermione and her fathers money In
the end? She can afford to indulge
her Ego here, too. For isn't she eco
nomically independent, since papa
gives her all the money she wants
Moreover. Fothergil betrays plenty of
common sense on occasion when it is
others who are talking the nonsense.
Here, then, Is Hermione the serious
thinker, by-product, an ofshoot OF
feminism, so much less original, If
she only knew it, than her conservs-
tive mother, bewildered by her SOL
emn absurdities. Only one thing We
regret in this welcome volume. 1t has
no index, and yet it is a comprehen-
sive dictionary of the pseudo-artistic
and intellectual lingo of the think
they-thinks of the period.

he has been separated by his false step
and bv an ambitious mothers tactics
another temptation met and overcome.
Happiness at such price is not for
them. Work alone remains for him,
good works for her, noble friendship
for them both. And on his return TO
the rectory he finds Ivy's son and his
in the place that had been his own in
childhood and boyhood.
A story of action, indeed. but one
with the deeper note of emotional
struggle and upward endeavor, filled
with characters that are all touched
in with deft strokes, even the minor
ones. And far and away the best book
Mr. Vaehell has yet done. With it he
reaches his artistic maturity, full of
o ripe promise.

Kuprin has succeeded, above all his
contemporaries now before us in trans
lation, in attracting the attention Of the
West. Mr.. Graham ranks him with
Tchekof, and the comparison is apt.
Tchekoff was the better artist, how
ever. kuprin has never cultivated the
art of editing his own work. On the
other hand. he approaches more close
ly our Western understanding Of char
acter and life. In his stories the Rus
sian soul is less Of puzzle to US, per-
haps because he evidently has read
widely in our literatures. For none can
fail to trace the influence Of Flaubert's
"Un Ceur Simple" in the title story
Of this collection. The Elephant"
too, can be traced back directly TO a
French original. the tale of the clown
who saved q sick child's life with his
antics. Easter Day" reminds one
strongly of Tchekof. but again it
brings Russia closer to US. In "The

When Tim, Mt the end Of his wan
derings in many lands, Of his ventures

one of his critics says OF 1t:
We do not know the author per-
sonally, but we see clearly in him
two personalities, the artist, with
delightful appreciation Of the
rhythm and color of life, with
trained or innate recognition OF
values" and, sharply contrasted,
the man Of business too concerned
with dramatic incident, too heed
less of psychology.
Substitute the words "man of ac-
ton" for IMAM of business" and you
have in this imaginary review OF an
imaginary book fair and discerning
comment on Mr.. Fachell's own chron-
icle of mans progress through life.
Be il added. however, that Mr.. Vachell
is Enthusiastically much better psychol-
oEist than his hero seems to be, for
