Wolff, in Golfers, shows some of the trite
elements of early enlistment and draft
stories, but possesses genuine feeling and
good description of characters. The emo
tions of Jimmy and his wife are TRUTH
fully represented and the house they live.
in has its own distinct personality.
The Golden Mountain, by Elsie Sing
master in Harper's, is moving story of
a man who goes as missionary to the
,irmgies OF Africa to do penance for a
great sin he has committed. The spirit
uaI experiences he has there and the
temptation he faces ON return visit to
America are related with dramatic con-
vietion.
Under a VINE Glass, by Ellen n. La
Motto, m the Century, is story of a man
who is smothered by externalities, of
genius killed by Eife's refusal to allow
it exercise The man is like little idol
under a glasscasc, wOrshipped, but stifed.
This story of the ."lonely man. is inter-
estingfy told and will remain in the
memory.
Christmas PrOridd7, by Owen Oliver, in
Mmsey's, is a pleasant story of Ebony"
Christmas shared with stranger-with
resultant romance, of course.
The Road to Christmas, by Norma Pat
terson, in the Woman S Home Companion,
is another specimen Of the account of
boarding house full of people reformed
by taking thought for giftIess person.
The human Christmas tree in this case is
spinister green to prerarieaiion, instead
of the usual child, but detail like that
really makes little difference
Something Different. by Alexine Hey
land, in UeClGTes, bellies It's title as far
as characters are concerned al least. We
lave here the conventional sn0bbish host
ess in New York, the. feminine dahbter in
unremunerative art, and the hero that
comes out of the Vest. But would man
from Arizona or elsewhere try Jap wrest-
ling methods at dinner table, and would
he wear two pistols in the hip pockets of
his dress suit? Hardly! This romance
that rushes 10 its course in one evening is
somewhat entertaining, but not in the least
credible.

Some Stories in the
Christmas Magazines
By DOROTHY SCARBOROUGH.

THE December magazines are attrac-
= tive in their Christmassy covers
and contain an interesting combination of
story types. There are the war stories,
which-though It's no fault Of the maya
zine makers-seem bit out Of date since
the armistice was signed and readers have
hastily adjusted their minds to peace con-
ditions. There are the old line Christmas
stories patiently made to suit the season,
telling of groups of lonesome people gal
vanized into gayety through providing a
holiday for some one else
But there are some excellent stories in
this months magazines. stories told with
sincerity and realism, or with imaginative
beauty.
The old Ncighborhood, by Theodore
Dresser, in the Metropolitan, is admirable
for its character values, for its analysis
of mans soul by means of retrospeetion.
This is another of Dreiser's remarkable
studies in unsuccessful marriage, of slow
piecing together of the facts of the years
till story stands revealed to lis. Here,
as elsewhere, as in Free, for instance,
Dresser uses Il method that is too unvary-
ingly expository, too little dramatic and
direct. lie talks about his characters all
the time, never letting them speak and act
for themselves, as they should do, some
times at least He diseards dialogue al
most entirely and shows practically no
outward action. The reader, however, is
impressed by what he has to say, while
firing of his method of narration. The
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-12-08

theme here, the cruelty of ambition and
desire for fame which kills love and makes
a man brutal to helpless wife, is ex-
pressed with an iRescapable realism.
The House on the Bay, by Harry Esty
Dounce, in Century, is of somewhat
novel variety Of the occult, with some I'M
familiar thrills. The house, not haunted
in the conventional fashion, is obsessed be-
cause of the fact that "genius enough,
wrought up enough, can express, put
across what it likes, any restrictions and
specifications" The old house, built in n
fit of rage, makes all the people. who come
into it quarrel, which is more upsetting
than any number of visible ghosts could
be-. The story might have been told bit
more economically, as is also true of Drei
ser's-but it is effective.
The Butterfly, by Dana Barnett. in the
Saturday Erening Post, has considerable
poetic beauty Of style. 1t is a narrative
of Il French count in the days Of NapO-
leon Ill, whose bride has been butterfly
dancer. When the Germans march into
France, the young wife disappears, and
for almost half a century the husband
plans his revenge OF those who kill her.
His chance comes in 1918, when In a
strange, almost supernatural way, he
brings disaster upon Germany. The story
is delieately wrought and has an uneanny
power.
Spndleberries, by John Galsworthy, in
Scribner's, is more in Galsworthy's early

mawkishness that stands for sentiment in
