BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Just before
Christmas l got letter from an old
friend saying that she was coming to
visit me and would be at our house
for Christmas day. l was very glad
to see her again and made her most
welcome, but my husband did not like
her at ALL
After Christmas she did not say any
thing about going, but stayed on and
didn't help any. She was there just
three days and after supper my hus-
band got mad at something she said
and he got up and put on his coat and
hat and told me right in front of her
that he was going away and would
stay away until he could have his
home to himself and his family.
He said that could phone him at
work when the house would be free for
him to come back. OF course my lit

BOOK
REVIEW
RUSSIA FROM THE INSIDE.

nO0SiA fHOM I6E INSIDE.
Russia is SICK" writes Rheta Childe
Dorr She is gorged on something
she has never known before-freedom
She is sick almost to die with excuses
and the leadership which would bring
the panacea Is violently thrown aside
because suspicion Of any authority has
bred the worst kind of license. Will
she recover? Yes. But, God, what
pain must she bear before she gets
real freedom"
Mrs. Door lived in Russia through
all last summer and was in intimate
touch with affairs and the people. In
her book, Inside the Russian Revolu-
tion," just quoted. she gives the results
of her observation and her inquiries
Her story is graphic and instructive.
In one point, however, we have later
information. She could not discover
why the Bolsheviki wanted peace with
Germany. We know that it was in
order to leave them free to break the
peace in Russia.

"YEARs OF THE LOCUST"

There Ia great deal Of melo-
drama and a great deal OF brutality
in Albert Payson Terhune's new book
called 1.-The Years Of the Locust" Mr..
Terhune undoubtedly means them both.
He does not hesitate to use lurid COL
ors and the heavy hand when they fit
his purpose and point There Is album
dant matter in print in one form and
another to reveal him In lighter and
more graceful turns of authorship.
Briefly, the story in the present in
stance is that of a young and beau
tiful woman in Chicago who, having
married a Brute, falls in love with a
Man. Just as her domestic affliction
has reached its climax there Is rail-
road smash and her husand's name
heads the list of the dead. In Joy at
her relief our heroine weds her lover
without waiting for the funeral. and
goes away on her first real honey
moon. In New York she reads a for
warded letter from her husband. dated
the day after the wreck. and her glad
ness turns to fear which lasts
through long story Of flight and pur-
suit.
After the event of the letter Mr..
Terhune places the scenes Of his story
in London, Paris. Italy and the Holy
Land. His most thrilling chapter de-
scribes the delivery in the Syrian des-
ert through tina interposition Of a
white-robed Stranger Of little group
of Americans besieged by horde of
Bedouins. There is a ripping surprise
for readers and our heroine at the
end Of the book.

TENDENCIES IN OUR POETRY.

lIuc pOctTy, says one WTlIlnR IN
the New Republic with every evidence
Of belief in his own authority, "is the
vibrant expression of everything clear
ly delicate and unattached with sur
face sentiment in the emotions Of men
toward themselves and nature" Fur
thermore, 1t lis the entering of deli
cately imaginative plateaus, uncon-
nected with human beliefs or funda-
mental human feelings" So there is no
place in poetry as a separate art for
the wrongs of the poor, for emotional
surges, for burning messages. sermons
or political economy.
Looking through the pages Of Amy
Lowelrs Tendencies in Modern Amer
lean Poetry" we find that we have
with us a poetess- critic who can say
lot more than this about the true
art and who can bring to the backing
of her sayings the plans and specifi
cations for all those brands Of YER
sification which the general public in
it's benightedness Jumps together as
new. Miss Lowell illustrates her book
by geographic and critical examples.
She is an Imagist herself, one of the
American three of that school, but
she leaves herself out of the illuum-
mating flock cited In her volume. She
proceeds with the instances of Edward
Arlington Robinson, Robert Frost, Ed
gar Lee Masters, Carl Sandburg, III.
D." and John Gould Fletcher.
Good poetry" allows Miss Lowell
'if not strikingly great poetry, mark ed
the epoch of Whittier, Bryant Emer-
son, Lowell, Longfellow and Holmes"
But as for these six and as for the
other American singers who tune their
harps by modern tendencies" and as
for imagistc MINISTRIES in special
well, our critic cannot think too highly
of them. To degree we agree with
her. We do not think for an instant
that Mr.. Emerson could have risen U
the porcine heights of Mr.. Sandburg' 8
Hog Butcher for the World" or that
Mr.. Bryant could have shared the Wis
ion in which Mr.. Fletcher sees that
Gilded hummingbirds are whizzing
Through the palace garden,
Deceived by the jade petals
OF the emperor's jewel trees.
We cannot even hear the abashed
Longfellow or the simple Whittier
joining Miss Lowell in her own apos-
trophe, not quoted in her book, to a
railway quick lunch place with tiled
floor But II we are chagrined at our
inability to enter into the ecstacies Of
Imagism. we have a consoling suspic-
ion on the side that we are in large
and excellent company with our grief,
and a pretty quarrel over the question
of modern tendencies" in verse goes
on without our assistance. Does the
New Republic writer, for instance, con-
sent that eccentric-we had almost
said concentric-lines on hog butch
ers, quick lunches and yardsticks shall
enter the category of things warranty
expressive and clearly delicate, placed
upon "delicately imaginative plat
eaus?"
Aside from other issues, however. 1t
Is grateful to agree with Miss Lowell
that everybody should read Mr.. Mas
ter's Spoon River Anthology" that Mr..
F'rost's North Of Boston" and other
poems are of unique and interesting
quality, and that H. D." who was Hill
