will read 1.-The Arrow Maker" by
Mary Austin.
In the Arrow Maker" the author,
without dwelling too ruch on tribal
p~eculiarities. has attempted to bring
out the two great themes of modern
drama. love and ambition. She shows
that they are not peculiar to n race
or period, but that they dwell in the
bosom Of the savage as we'll as in the
breast of his more civilized brother.
The central figure is the Chisera,
one of those singular and powerful
characters we are still, with all our
learning, unable to account for with
u falling back on the primitive con-
ception of gift as arising from. direct
communication with the gods. What
chiefly influences the attitude of the
tribe toward her is the UNIVERSAL, I'M
reasoned conviction that gift belongs,
not to the possessor of it, but to So
ciety at large. The whole question
then becomes one of how the tribe
shall worke the Chisera to their best
advantage. ~
