called a war novel, although toward the
end the hero does complete shaping his
hitherto unshapen character by becoming
Captain in the American army. 1t is IN

small town New England girl who was
fast fading before she had bloomed in the
norelist's oft-pietured New England
household of maiden aunts, invalid mother
and sullen father, when, snatching circum-
stances bg the foreloek, she demanded
something more from life than the drab
comfort that surrounded her and thereby
escaped becoming a maiden aunt of the
next generation.

A James Joyce Play
JAMES JOYCR'S Eriles is an absorI

JAMES JOYCR'S Eriles is an absorb
- ing analysis of four human souls. 1t
is genuine bit Of psychology, we'll writ
ten and brilliantly conceived. 1t is soul
searching work, ana is therefore limited
IN its appeal TO small group of readers.
The publishers announcement casts
aspersions ON the average reader" who
viii lay down the book, declaring it is mot
a play" Well, it ixn't-or rather, not \
good play-and only the most over
sophisticated will dare maintain that il
is. There is no use trying to prove that
this is a play. and that is not; the fact
remains that Eriles belongs to a category
of work winch is more effective in almost
any other form than dramatic form. You
cannot escape the fact that q play must
be produced before crowd and that as a
rule that crowd is not interested in the
psychology of soul states, except in 50 far
as these are revealed in a moving story
and through the agency of interestin:
characters
The story Of Eziles is little or nothing:
the characters are interesting not because
of what they do, but because of what they
think. This is not sufficient to make n
good play. Granting this we may say
that MIR. Joyces insight info human mo.
tives is appalfingly clear; the surgeons
knife is so surely welded that we vince.
This study of two men and two men.
and the complicated problems of their
relations each with the other, and the
reactions resulting therefrom, form the
entire fabric of the play. To enjoy i,
you must have thought q good deal about
the harassing questions involved IN the
sex relationship. and thought deeply. If
you come to Eziies with q desire 10 learn
more than you thought you knew, You will
not be disappointed. Mr.. Joyce is wise
possibly little too wise.

We learn from the author in a brief
historical sketch of the Black Watch that
the regiment was in America in the Revo-
luton and took part in the battle of Long
Island. Later the Highlanders made them
selves at home attempting to chase Con
tinental troops about the rocky sleeps of
Harlem. The regiment was organized In

of the world against foes of nearly every
race and color.

ting any chance pass, so she consented
to follow the movies with him which led:
as it has frequently done before, to mar
riage.
Reba had found that she would have to
return to her family for time and the
step was taken for the sole purpose Of I'M
proving her position in her home. Nat:
who really loved his wife, was sent off for
three years before the wedding day had
passed. ..
The three years were eventful ones for
both. After brief time Reba hurried back
to the Alliance and had her heart broken
by a young doctor who was about rs much
married as she and then fell i'll and pined
among her family, reduced by this time to
their proper position. Nathaniel gave up
seafaring, TO which he had supposedly re-
turned, and devoted himself TO becoming a
presentabIe person. After putting him
self through a stiff course in husband
training and Joining the army after Amer
ica's declaration Of war, he made his debut
as that indispensable combination, htrs-
band and soldier, and won the once broken
heart of his wife.
1t was hard that he had to leave for
France just as he was proving himself
the ideal husband, but that's how il was.
Still there are more wives than admit ii
who would prefer few months Of house
broken husband to lifetime Of the other
sort, and so far as he was concerned It
must have been a satisfaction to receive
such messages as this from his wife.

A PARTICULAR interest attaches to
IA Lining the Creative Life, by Jo-
seph H. Appel, because the author is IN
executive in charge of advertising for
John Wanamaker; it is natural, there
fore, TO anticipate q book bristling with
secrets of business success. II is not that
kind of a book which Mr.. Appel has
written. He has no ready made formulas
for making a living and success in bust
ness is entirely subordinaied in his book
to success m living. By the creative life
he means an enlarging existence, life
growing richer, q life filled with greater
diversity Of interests. If you can live
night, is his argument, call these things
business success, health, even happiness
shall be added unto you"
And SO he discusses the qualities of
creative living. They are not new
energy, understanding, thoroughness, con-
centration, memory, imagination lin the
sense of the ability to visualize things);
all these have been preached by wise men
from generation to generation. And
about each and every one of them there is
always something new to be said. What
Mr.. Appel has to say will be as new to
many readers rs If much Of It had never
been uttered before. he comes at his sub
jects freshly and vigorously, and he is not
afraid of the apt and pointed anecdote.
This is not book for everybody. 1t is
the kind of a book which will either
strike the reader as here too obvious and
there too vague, OF a. & singularly earnest
and inspiring series Of preschncnts. For
example:
"0ne worker sees bolt Of goods out
Of It's place, picks il up and puts it away.
Another worker looks at a disarranged
bolt Of goods, only looks It 1t and lets it
lie in disorder. Which worker will sue
coed, which will fsil7'
HIn proportion rs the soul truly reflects
the spirit our intuition will be true. Pure
intuition Is always true. 1t is pure spirit
speaking. What we call intuition, however,
is often only our subconscious thought,
or at best the subconscious thought of
the worid-the ANNA mundi, the soul Of
the world, eosmic thought. and not the
Animus Del, the Spirit Of God"
The book will be real help TO a lot
of readers. Others, who should avoid it.
will wonder what their fellows see in it,
Which Is absurd of them-but perhaps it
merely shows how hopeless they are any
way!
