Crude Melodrama

Company. -. =,
At times the author himself dwells
in a sort of Land of Darkness, the dark
ness of the writer who, lacking knowl-
edge of real life, paints crude me odrama
in iurid colors. with no lights and shades
Of character such as abound in the
actual everyday world; again the land
scape ligbtens for him, and he has
CLEANS - vision when his brush is
dipped in realism that rings true and
transfers touches of quite human quail
tiles to his canvas. The book is very
uneven, quite impossible in places, but
il yields promise that Mr.. Sheehan may
do better things if he persists. The
story is the old one of the young man
who comes TO the city to seek his
fortune, a villain in petticosts, an un-
fortunate girl, and the usual lay fig
ures about which 10 centre a rousing
series of startling incidents.

Amusing Short Stories

KIDDIES by J. J. Bell I2mo. %. 97s. The
Frederick A Stokes Company
Some of these short stories are very
charming. others are a bit tiresome.
The choice for the opening of the book
is unfortunate, because il is one of
the least interesting. although our old
friend, Wee Macgreegor, is the small
hero of it. In these busy days IL is
too much to ask reader TO wade
through eleven pages Of small print in
dialect. all devoted to the intrcacies of
spelling "Habakkuk." The next story,
Little Boy" is delightful. Those
which follow are irregular in their in
terest provoking power. But, after all,
humorous stories are the hardest in
the world on which to pass judgment,
for you never know what will make the
other fellow laugh. There are those
who can see sense Of the ludcrous in
another's misfortunes. and happy few
who can smile at their OWE. Mr.. Bell
has a large following. and for them his
new book will hold many entertaining
moments.

This is a story of the self-sacriiice
