Much has been written concerning
W. the japanese, who have always
been objects of interest TO Americans.
But English TRANSACTIONS from japanese
literature have been rare, so that We
really know little Of the inner life of
Japan. Consequently we find an unusual
interest in PaalOunid, a volume of stories
from contemporary japanese writers,
translated by Torao Taketomo, and with
a foreword by John Erskine, who re-
Gently edited 4 volume of I.afcadlo
Hearn's lectures to japanese students.
The seven stories in the volume are by
three writers. The title, Panlornia. is
the name of tree from which Lutte OF

are given as showing the melody Of the
Japanese mind.
These are studies in emotions rather
than stores of action. They are like

chaste in outline and with charm that
relies on vague suggestion rather than
on bold drama. They have the outer re-
serve together with the inner spiritual
ism and emotionalism that we mentally
associate with The japanese character.
Mori Ogwai, who is represented by
three stories in the volume, is a Surgeon
General in the japanese army, author of
many poems, stories and dramas, and
translator of such American authors as
Washington Irving and Bret Harte.

to whether or not he is guilty. HandtO

would like to wave her handkerchief ut
her husband, as she sees others doing, but
her reserve will not permit it.
"She also grasps the batiste handker-
chief which she has brought in her
sleeve, but she cannot do such an i'm
modest thing"
The translator tells us that while the
general tone of Ogwai's work is white,
that of Nagai kafu is peacock blue and
crimson, and that he is essentially col
orist. We see both the sombreness and
the brilliance of his color in the sketches
by him included in the volume. The
BW-coUec.irg shows the experience of a
girl employed rs a servant in house OF
geisha girls, while TEiyoe is a series Of
impressionistie descriptions.
Mr. Taketomo makes this interesting
comment concerning the third writer rep
resented here:
with the Russo-Japanese war, the lit
crature of Japan changes its whole as
pect. 1t was called the destruction of
VISION or the age of disillusion' and
was the proclamation of naturalism
. Amid the current Of crude
naturalism Shimazaki Toson stood out
prominently a. an artist
He is SAID to clothe intimacy with ma
ture and with life in realism, yet artistic
realism. How touching is the story of a
lonely, homeless dog, called 4 Domestic
Animal, and how moving the depressed
grief OF the father and mother for their
son who is dead in TSugaru Strait!
Mr.. Taktetomo tells us that these
writers are typical stylists of cOntempo-
rary japanese literature, and as such they
should be read with interest by Ameri-
cans.

ID REATHING the spirit of France in
- a recital eloquent in its simplicity
c. DeFlorez gives In No. IN account of
his experiences while detailed as driver Of
an American ambulance on the Verdun
front in the third year of the war.
The indomitable spirit of a nation of
heroes is intimately conveyed in these
pages from the diary of an ambulance
driver. The part that the ambulance
plays is but dimly suggested, for the days
are spent largely ''in repose," in feasting
and other diversions; there is much time
for reflection. The authors keen senses
find poetic expression in his impressions
