New Rivers of the North"

not even In soviet Russia-appears In
volume called EeU Rivers Of the North.
At the most interesting points of Mr..
Footner's journeying words are likely to
fail him, and he lamely falls back on
such excuses as this: "No word descrip-
ton of the Finlay Rapids is necessary,
because it is faithfully represented in the
picture" he may, however, venture on
occasion to say of something that ut was
beautiful sight" Once he says: l." Noble
is the word that continually required to
u.s." Again, Of some river whose charm
"it is difficult to convey" he writes:
1--WE remember it as the sweetest part
Of the long journey"
Often something is written apparently
for no other reason than to provide
caption for some picture, as "We met
three Indians and a dog coming up
stream" or 1--WE quenched our thirst with
snow" When the goal of the journey is
reached at Alexandra Falls, Mr.. Footner
can think of nothing by way of descrip-
ton better than root beer.
Imagine, if you can, millions upon mil
lions of gallons Of root beer with its rich
creamy foam forever pouring into that
great hole In the world without filing it."
Mr.. Footner doubtless stipulates "root"
to be within the prohibition regulations.
In saying that Mr.. Footner has chiefly
relied upon his camera to convey his i'm
pressions we would not be understood as
IN any way belittling the. camera. In
books of this sort pictures are Life saver,
and often their only excuse for being.
The many pictures of rivers and rapids
and mountains AID cataracts along the
route covered by Mr.. Footner and his
friend should alone make the most slug
gish and prutoplasnic of city souls reveal
q slight culver of interest for adventure
into the new and the wild and unknown.

II VERYBODY who ever goes on
l. camping expedition or a journey
of exploration and writes a book about
it-as everybody always dOes-seldom neg
lects to include chapter on Outfit, tell
ing the size of tent to take along and the
number of blankets and the kind Of gun
and amount Of |grub" and so on.
What our amateur explorers do not
tell, and what seems to us as important as
"Erbswurst nit Speck," is of the other
kind of equipment-mental and spiritual
as well as material-that everybody going
on journey should take along with him,
especially if he is going to write book
about it; little history, for example, and
philosophy and ethnology and geology
and botany and poetry and art and all
the other things that multiply and deepen
impressions thousandfold and make for
foundation and background in writing.
What is interesting and fascinating about
the Inland Voyage, for example, is not
SO much the voyage as the man who
wrote it.
Although Hubert Footner insists upon
the "Erbswurst nit Speck," it is just this
latter kind of equipment that he seems
to have left behind in his interesting ex-
ploration of the headwaters Of the Fraser
in western Canada, Peace River and Hay
River to Alexandra Falls, which be made
in 1911, the story Of which was pub
lished in a magazine in 1912, and which
now for some unaccountable reason
since book production is apparently the
one kind of production that never fails,

Neo-Victorian Studies

TRADITIONIAND CHANGE.
4 STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY


4 STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY
LITERATURE, is Arthur Waugh's con-
tribution to the critical harvest of latter
day letters. Mr.. Waugh clearly states in
the introductory essay which lends its title
to the book that his attitude is the result
of rigid course in Victorian training Mr..
Waugh belongs to an older generation Of
critics, but he differs from most Of his
contemporaries because he makes con-
scious effort to understand the new gener-
alton He says:
sand those who find it 1.-THE book least
open 10 new impressions will, perhaps, be
generous enough to believe that It also
represents an honest effort to recognize
the value Of as much of the new spirit as
seems reasonably consonant with old
standards" Mr.. Waugh has no patience
with the Ezra Pounds and the out and out
Cubists Of poetry; what he combats is the
movement toward novelty for its own
sake; what he deprecates is the throwing
aside Of form; for without form there is
no art. Mr.. Waugh may, of course, be
mistaken as to the attributes of form, and
he certainly falls into the error of adher-
ing to too strict definition of the word.
By way Of refutation of the faith of the
younger generation, which declares that
It's object Is to bring back to poetry the
common speech Of every day life, he de-
clares: q. 1t has never been the
general experience that the language of
the common crowd possesses either beauty
or authority" Here he is wrong. But
Mr.. Waugh Is never wholly wrong; in his
attacks upon the new faiths, his stanch
championship of the old traditions con-
stantly serves to keep him on the right
track.
1t Is always well to listen to our elders.
They VIII never be taken too seriously by
q generation Of youngsters bent upon ar
tistic revolution, but they may serve to
Chasten those among them who are not 100

"Edgewater People
D. nnpnTJv cCAppnpnIrGH

TDGEWATER PEOPLE, by Mary E.
IL Wilkins Freeman, is an interesting
and well written collection OF short stories,
but it is scarcely one Of Mrs Freeman's
best books. The stories possess the quiet
ness, the leisured ease, the analytic char
scter drawing that we have long enjoyed
in her New England studies but they have
less Of the drahatic than some of her
work. The effect here is bit too leis-
urely.
In the present volume Mrs. Freeman
writes Of four villages, to show that places
Is well as people exist subject to change,
Increase, final dissolution" that they have
character, complex but still individual.
She wishes to represent these four vii
kges, subdivisions of one former small
village, as a fourfold individual standing
out against a rural background. The
authors theme as set forth in the foreword
is that the strongly rooted families Of the
locality have impressed their individ-
uality on their environment, so that the
life is in a fashion patriarchal; but the
reader does not receive a definite impress
sion differing from that given BY Mrs.
Freeman's other village stories. Some of
the characters here are less simple and q
shade less vital than in her earlier vol
umes.
The Risg With a Green Stone, for in
stance. seems "made' story rather than
q record Of real life, not because of the
element of the unexplainable IN it, but be-
cause the characters appear mechanical
In comparison with this Sour StoeetiEgs
and The Soldier Man have distinct veri-
simlitude. Mrs Freeman seems certainly
at her best in writing Of people with
strong New England eceentricities Of
brain and temper, with the idiosyncrasies
Of warped prejudices. The nearer she ap-
proaches the conventional in her char
actcrs the less individual her work is.
Sophia Judd in The Soldier han, with
her intense and crafty eguism, her subtly
concealed obstinacy, who sits with folded
hands yet dominates the lives about her
with IadyLke brutality, is unforgettable.

The domineering mother in Sour Snect-
Sings, with her courteous atrocities coward
her daughter in-law, Is almost Sophia
Ludds equal. Mrs. Freeman has al I'M
canny power Of depicting selfish middle
age tyrannizing over youth.
The war stories in the volume, The Lar
and Both Cheeks, are less impressive than
the studies of ordinary simple life, as The
FIorering Bush and The old Man of the
Fields, where lovable, quaint old men are
pictured.
No writer in America has rendered the
short story more significant service than
has Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, who has
never lowered her. ideals, never cheap
ened her srt for publicity or money, but
has steadfastly maintained her high STAN
dards Of sincerity both in substance and
in form.
The ease and quiet humor Of Mrs. Free
mans style may be suggested by pas
sage like the beginning of Sarah Edge
1odtey:
"Dorena went out of the room. She went
airily, leaving trail Of strong perfume,
her first minor assertion of real emanci-
patton, and Sarah Edgewater realized that
the beginning of the end, which she had
secretly dreaded for years, had come.
"Dorena had given notice.
"She had given it regretfuliy, even
emotionally She was too much like her
mother, who had lived and died in the
service Of the Edgewater family, not to
feel misgivings at leaving her Miss
Sarah But Dorena WIS in love with u
handsome young man as light colored as
she and he was insistent
"'Pd rather be daid than tell po' Miss
Sarah Dorena had wailed-but she had
told her"
Mrs Freeman's pholosophic comments on
character are suggestive and Illuminating,
as for instance what she says in connec-
ton with Old Man Edgewater:
"People as well as flowers escape from
gardens and legitimate environments
They stroll, either from perversity or idle
wantonness, outside palings and specified
abiding places and remain outside through
the generations. No particular stigma at
taehes to them for so doing The birth
bar is not sinister, simply mildly differ
entail Old Man Eli Edgewater

"The Grim son Abb"
and Room Number 3"

DETECTIVE stories are starting the
~ new year very well indeed. At
least those who pick up Octavus Roy
Cohen's The Crimson Abb will be pretty
sure to think SO. Three evening hours
may be agreeably dedicated to its perusal.
The identity Of the murderer of old
Joshua Quincy is not disclosed until page
272-and that is only thirteen pages from
the end of the book itself. Perhaps We
ought not to say this; weakly curious per-
sons may turn to page 272 Immediately.
If so they are bound to be disappointed.
They will not understand what they find
there without har:ng accompanied David
Carroll, detective, through all the sur
prises that have gone before.
Mr.. Cohen has written an unusual and
extremely pulling tale. He treats his
reader exactly as the murderer treated
David Carroll; and both reader and de-
tective are pretty well disarmed In their
quest for the criminal The difficulty
one difficulty-in solving the murder of
Joshua Quincy was the number of persons
who had strong motives for killing him.
Mr.. Cohen handles this phase of the story
skilfully and he is particularly good at ex-
ploding surprise at the end Of every
chapter.
Room Number ; was first published in
1913 under the title Masterpieces of Nys-
tery. It is a collection Of nine short
stories Of crime detection by Anna kath-
arine Green. They vary in length and
merit, but all will engage the reader.
There is not much 10 say about the book
except that any one who likes mystery
stories Will Like these, or most Of them.
