Company 49, N o.
1t was years ago that this book was
written, and since that time Mr.. Buchan
has delighted the reading world with
various-not too many-other books
both fiction and serious history. In
them he has displayed, as we have
taken pleasure in observing, the rare
and precious gift of co6rdinating &c
ton and history, to the advantage of
both and without impairing the value
OF either. That is to say, he makes his
history as interesting as fiction without
IN the least compromising its auth ority
and he gives to his fiction something of
the reality of actual history without
lessening its imaginative and romantic
charm. In the volume before US this
fine quality is displayed in high de-
gree.
1t is the story, sef-told, of young
Scot who goes to the land of the KAT
frs as storekeeper, and becomes in
timately involved in a plot, financed BY
the |. D. B., for vast Kaffir insurrec
ton, led by a pretended reincarnation
OF Prester John. There is no woman
in the case, and no touch of sentim ent
or love, but all is pure adventure, dar-
ing, conflict; and there is not a pa&s

Surely, Miss Hurst deserves a great
amount of thanks for this last book
for the versatility of human nature dis
played in these veru human stories
book Of the people! She has shown
an adaptibility to all conditions and a
philosophical treatment of emotions
that few novelists attempt to display
In these stories, seven altogether, Miss
Hurst emphasizes the eternal feminine
the mother-heart that is subconscious
part of every woman; showing the self,
denial and unseltishness underlying all
their apparent frivolity and selishness
Who will give more completely than
the woman. whether she be maid or
mother, when she has that divine spark
of love within her? And that is what
Fannie Hurst has written about, the
when she loves. These stories are a
little object lesson to the average
thinking public; not only that patriot
ism is ablaze among the very wealthy
or upper class, but that the lesser sis
ters can feel and can strive to do their
share for their boys, too.
1t is evident that the author has gone
to the bottom of things and knows the

A 'Happy'' Slum

TIE a1; HAPPY GARRET BY V Goldle limo. PIP.
1t seems pity that a book so brill
lantly and vivaciously written should
leave so unpleasant an after-e effect. The
Carrot is the name given to an attic
transformed into disreputable bohe-
mlan club, and the Happy" is sup
posed to describe the ospheric con-
ditlon of the place, which is mainly a
place of debauchery, much loose drink
ing, loose singing, loose dancing and
loose making.
Hebe Hill tells the story of her own
experiences from the unhappy, much
beaten days of her childhood with her
drunken mother up to the time she
goes to London to study medicine. Just
how she drifts into the would be bohe-
mian crowd, composed of artists and
their models, theatrical people, etc,
and habitues of the "Garret" and else
where, is told with an unpretending,
Brutality frank, cynical recklessness. It
may be all very well and the delight of
many readers, but you can't help be-
coming satiated with the cheapness of
1t all and wish for some pure air in
your lungs. II. A. H.

and plots and counterplots enough in
the house to satiate the most voracious
appetite. But these are not after all
the, most interesting features of the
book. What attracts us most is the
girl herself, Baddie. with her strange
mixture of good and evil. Much Of
the time she is an out and out crook;
thief and the partner of thieves.
Later she revolts against stealing. and
becomes a professional detector of
thieves; from which occupation she
lapses into taking bride to commit
forgery. Through it all, however, we
are assured that she remains sexually
as chaste as e vestal virgin; and in
deed the story opens with her vigorous
