to extricate herself. She is pathetically
lovely, with her shy, eager heart, her
vivid dreams so Knocked by realities, her
sensitive principles that must compromise
with circumstances. Joan wins the read
er's heart So it does not matter that she
may not always gain his appreciation.
Other characters, too, seem distinct,
none more so than the mother who is dead
before the opening of the story.
"During the summer before, alone with
her father and Ellen, Joan had been given
plenty of time to get used 10 her mothers
absence. 1t was as if Mary
Darcy, knowing that the hand of death
was upon her, had deliberately with
drawn herself from the child she loved, in
order to make the final separation easier

said Joan, nodding."
Joan's father, Richard Darcy, hand
some, luxurious, always evading unpleas-
ant realities, and yet possessing admir-
able traits, was "weak or brave, fraud
or fool or honorable gentleman perhaps
little of all three things"
Joan's stepmother, Fife May, with her
coarseness and her kindness, her lack of
refinement and overplenty of money, her
crude, snowy manners covering an I'M
selfish heart, is as real person as one
can meet between the covers of a book
Stefan Nikolai, a distinguished author and
friend Of Joan's mother and of Joan, is
another character. The "eary young
man." as Effie May calls him, is foil for
Eduard Desmond, an elusive soul with
habit Of indeterminate love making.
Mrs. Kelly has mannerisms, such as
speaking of Joan as "our heroine" and
making parenthetic comments in her role
Of author. She also annoys the reader by
labelling her clues, as where she speaks of
a backyard an which at the moment lin
gerie of faint silken flesh pink disported
lacy rufles and kicked airy silken limbs

more anon.)" The more anon habit
seems to be a. fixed one with Mrs. Kelly,
which is rather surprising, since she is
generally far from banal and has written
an entertaining and dramatic story with
delectable humor and not a little patbos.

fortunes that befell her. 4 passionately
devoted daughter who has lost both par
ents within few weeks can scarcely be
described as rolling in JOY. To get on:
The final chapters arc shaken TO the roots
by the eannons' opening roar. So much
for the rumors of war and so much for
the deceptive jacket.
The novel concerns the delightful De-
Stree Hasard and her mother, the Lady
Brigid MaSsarene, and how they went
about running each others lives without
meaning 10 in the least. The mother in
her zeal to spare the daughter the hard
ships and deprivations of her own life not
only makes things harder for herself but
makes 1t impossible for Desiree to develop
the slightest strength OF character. De-
Stree being 20, beautiful and having an
Unsuitable appetite for pleasure and
pretty clothes accepts everything that life
and her mother offer her, and what they
don't she gets by going into debt. In the
midst Of her gaycty, VIXEN she has fallen
very prettily in love, the desperate illness
and death of her mother, attended BY ex-
posure of her debts, brings her up with
agnnlzlng suddenness.
Miss Mcnamara excels in making her
people and their conversation attractive,
and she succeeds in introducing a good
deal of by-play without detraeting from
the central theme. The novel is thoroughly
English in favor in an easy and unaf-
feeted way The death of Lady Brigid
Is unnecessarily drawn ont and bit Vie
torian in its grisly detail. Who knows,
however, but that some will find their
greatest enjoyment in these mortuary
pagesf And if it seems that the father
might have spared US dying in his chair
on the very last page, we are not ones to
bubble over a death OF two.

ton TO it, knowing ourselves to be unfor-
givably rude the while Justice must be

a faux pas. We quote:

"Why Joan?"

ELEANOR MERCEIN KELLY,
II whose second novel, Why Joan' has
just appeared, is doing original and sin
eere work. Her Kildare Of Storm two
years ago excited considerable interest,
which is likely to be surpassed by that
aroused by its successor. Anticipating
comments on this book similar to those
aroused by Kildare Of Storm, Mrs. Kelly
declares that she has not taken actual
people for her models.
Why Joanf is a study in personality.
The girl about whom the story moves,
daughter of New England mother and
. Southern father, feels the pull of con-
tending natures in her soul. Her high
minded, spiritual mother has given her
a strong sense Of honor and an earnest
energy. Her self-indulgent, aristocratie
father has bestowed upon her love for
ease and an artist's'sense for the joys of
life. Her mother is dead when the story
begins, her father has no money left. She
has no training for any gainful oecupa
ton. Her only schooling has been term
in convent. And, anyway, her fathers
"pride" would have been Mortified at the
thought of his daughter working for her
living.
So poor Joan, bewildered by existence,
drifts, making futile efforts now and then

mildred Carver, US. A"


4 BOUT the time you reach the fifth
L \ chapter of Mildred Carer, U. S.
A., the sickening sensation comes to you
that you have been deceived. You are
not reading a novel, as your trusting ma
ture had led you to suppose, but a prob
lematical study of whether there should
be, and what will happen if there is. Uni
-versal Service for boys and girl. Martha
Bensley Bruere has worked upon the sup
position that there will be such an ar
rangcment, and that quickly. The youth
OF our country will have to devote the
year following their nineteenth birthday
TO forestry, agriculture. road making,
postal duty and such worthy occupations.
1t is easy to see how thoroughly this will
upset all the old standards, what with the
bringing together of high and low in the
corn fields and factories The war has
done this, Of course, but with the saving
grace of sublime necessity.
1t is possible to be perfectly respect
able person and yet disagree violently
with Mss Bruere's arguments. She has
used, quite legitimately, a group Of
young people on whom the years service
has had an enrolling effect, and whether
she conyinceS you or not depends upon
how well your ideas and hers coincide as
to what constitutes an ennobling effect.
One great evil to which the system may
lead the author generously indicates. So
ciety girls having had their appetites
whetted by work in the Middle Western
wheat fields may find the luxurious shade
of the family tree too heavy, and marry
for jobs instead of the old bugbear
homes Mildred Carver and Nicholas
Van Arsdale, the two persons most con-
eerncd in the present instance, were taken
from two of the wealthiest homes in New
York ard shifted suddenly into rough
work. They liked it and were not in
elined to believe such thing impossible
after the startling revelation of wartime
adjustments. However, when Nicholas
is pictured as finding joy in street clean
ing even to the picking up of cigar stubs
We are inclined to feel that Miss Bruere
has gone bit too far. He should have
been set Immediately at road making.
The book is interesting and on the
whole rather clever thing to have done.
The serious social problem involved takes
the curse from the novel which would be
entirely characterless without help, and
eontrarywise as Tweedle Dunn would say,
the novel takes the curse from the social
problem. It would be ideal if such books
could be labelled: Beware! Heavy
problem concealed Within or words to
that effect. Thus, frivolous readers desir-
ing the gay army romance which this ap-
pears to be, would be spared disappoint-
ment, and serious thinkers would seize
upon it as their own without delay.
Lacking the label it reminds US Of jelly
with the pill inside which dishonest par
ents sometimes foist upon their offspring.
Not that the pill isn't excellent in its
way!

which she mistook for blue candy
When the child became desperately i'll
the empty sack confirmed its story.
While the doctors were talking about
an operation the mother had happy
thought She took little Martha Marie
BY the heels, gave her a few shakes,
good hard ones, and the buckshot
came rolling out on the floor. She
repeated the operation until finally
she shook al the shot out of the baby.
Then Martha Marie went right on and
took a nap, little the worse for her
narrow escape from lead poisoning
and a surgical operation.

ture conflict by imposing a double
sovereignty on the same territory, at
least leaving the German sovereignty
quiescent there for fifteen years,
when it may be revived or ended by
a plebiscite, while in the meantime
the French have control under the
mission of five members.
1t goes without saying that Glenn
enceau wanted much more in this
matter than Wilson and Lloyd George
have allowed, but the French pre-
mier is reported as far from feeling
that he has got nothing for his coun-
try. Attention is called to the Moroc-
can settlements of decade and half
ago, by which France apparently got
very little, taking the terms of those
agreements at their face value, but by
an intelligent Moroccan policy in
handling the natives she has so used
her rights there as to become prac-
tically supreme in Morocco. 1t is the
French official hope and expectation
the same result may be attained in
the Saar Valley in the next fifteen
years so when the time comes to de-
eide the population will vote over
whelmingly for annexation to France.
Another matter the French peace
makers do not want to tell their peo-
pie too much about just how is the
amount to be received in reparation.
France, especially the farming coun-
try, does not yet realize that Ger
many will not. cannot be made to
pay all the cost the war has put on
France. A Frenchman's idea OF what
constitutes fundamental justice is
contained in article 1882 of the coun-
try's civil code, which provides that
every one who wrongs man shall be
obliged to make full reparation.
The idea. of the French peasant
farmer and industrial worker is that
