Sublimated Stodginess

ANCHORAGE By Florence Olms'ead. Emo ~.
.GI. Charles Scribner's sons
Miss Olmstead has drawn four vivid
and vital character portraits. with q
sure and veracious touch. and has IN
vested TWO Of them. Harriet and Hilda,
with much human interest and syn
patty. The third, Paul, also commands
sympathy, but IL is the sympathy OF
pity. not so fer removed from CON
tempt as VIC should like TO have 1t.
Not even his scmi-invalidism excuses
MIN for his ruinous attachment TO ms
sisters apron strings.
Il is the fourth character. Louisa.
who really dominates the book and
brings havoc into the lives Of the 9TH
ers. Her stodginess would be quite
sublime II IT were not-s shall we say
devilish? Well. demoniac, then; as
Grant said on a memorable occasion. 1t
sounds better and means the same.
Unhappily, her portrait Is not, any
more than the others. overdrawn.
There are in this world Just such mon
strosities Of utter sclhshness and
hardness in the quise of perfectly good,
conscientious women and there are
Just such tragedies as that which she
causes. For there can be no doubt that
il il had not been for her. Paul and
Hilda would have filed each others
lives and would have been much better
Of than Paul and Harriet. And we
haven't shadow Of a doubt that
Louisa presently hated Harriet as
much as she ever hated poor Hilda.

The Romance Of the Rookie

AT PLATrSBURG b. Allen French. l-mo. ~
$40 Charles Scrlbaer's sons
We had pleasure little while ago in
reading Mir. French's New England
mystery romance, "The Hiding Places,
and we have had no less in reading the
present volume from his pen. Just
what to call it might be problem. Il
is not altogether military book, nor
, altogether a romance, but a blending
Of both those and several other quail
ties. with agreeable result. There is
enough Of romance to engage the sym
pathetic attention Of the mankind that
loves a lover, and there is enough OF
military fact and experience to be de-
cidedly instructive to the prospective
rookie who may succeed Richard Cod
win at Plattsburg.
In fact. We are inclined 10 think that
in this attractive guise there is pre-
scented a more vital and veracious pct
ure Of Plattsburg and Plattsburg work
than is easily 20 be found in anything
that has been written purely as de
scripton thereof It seems TO be, II
impresses the reader as being, not an
outsiders observations and impress
sions. but an intensely human docu-
ment written from within. II is worth
reading for the sake of the thread OF
romance, while as an exposition OF the
real meaning and purport of Platts-
burg it is good enough TO be commend
ed 10 every reader in the land.

There are some capital plays which
you simply cannot read; and there are
some which make fine reading, but
which are CHASTITY failures on the
stage. 1t is one Of the glories OF
Shakespeare that he is equally good
in the study and on the stage. Now,
we are not going to compare Miss Bow
Ian with Shakespeare, but we can say
that in her own measure she has that
same quality. We are pretty sure
that these vivid sketches or the city
woman make highly effective mono
iOgues when given rs such hc Miss
Bowlan herself or b. any competent
impersonator; and we know from per-
sonal experience that they make most
entertaining reading.
Their surprising merit lies in their

Miss Bowlsn found and studied all
her types, but we do know that she
might have found most Of them in
almost any place. We have seen them
