Little Houses"
BY HERBERT s. GoRMAN.

THE particular value Of Little Houses,
i apart from its introduction of q
new novelist Of more than ordinary ex-
cellence, lies in its powers Of intriguing
the interest through surprisingly I'M
ostentatious presentation of certain simple
facts and situations that hardly go far
in the rounding of complete plot. To
describe George Woden's book in phrase
much battered and abused by both pub
Usher and reviewer, it is a slice Of real
life. While it is evident that life is viewed
somewhat from the angle Of John Allday,
this attitude is indicated in the realiza-
ton that John stands for certain COM
prehension of the values Of life. This
attitude is just what the title of the book
implies, that Of the inmates of little
houses. On the jacket of the book the
publisher impertinently takes the words
out of the reviewers mouth by quoting
the following speech from one of the
characters in the novel, "We're all no
bodies, mother, very nearly all of us-no-
bodies in little houses in our
eyes and the Lords"
This, indirectly enough, expresses part
of the authors intention but it does
not 60 far enough. 1t was the object OF
the novelist to show in a calmly realistic
manner that the seeming nobodies of
small English town amounted to much
more than they appeared on the surface.
The maturity of observation, the careful
presentation Of character through dozens
of apparently insignificant incidents, the
subtle restraint exhibited in never letting
the situations resolve themselves into
too evident striving for sentimental APP
peal mark an almost microscopic study OF
lower class life in an English maufactur-
ing town during the last years of the de-
caying Victorian period that may well
cause the reader to pause in admiration.
The plot, if the convolutions Of the
story may be so ticketed, is so simple that
it can hardly be described without ar
uneasy sense of neglect on the part o.
the reviewer For the main part, it con-
Germs the gradual rise to success of John
Allday, his reactions through gradually
growing intimacy with certain people of

"Janet of Kootenay"

A N eighty acre farm in the Kootenay
4 a Valley is all very well; but Janet,
in Evah McKowan's Janet Of Kooterdy,
had one that adjoined wounded
British officers, and, oh, the differ
ence to herl The acres featured in
these breezy letters are Mrs. McKowan's
own, as one can tell with half an eye,
but they become so much part Of us,
or should at any rate, that the "sprouting
Of each turnip is an individual triumph"
The person who wrote that folder is but
one Of many who will feel this enthusiasm,
and far be it from us TO spoil the fun.
Our difficulty may be an inherent distasts
for turnips.
There will be no middle course about
these letters. Either you will find them
affected and dull or the brightest, sweetest
things that have, come your way in a
month of Sundays. If the style seems
forced, the solid pages of conversation
unnatural in correspondence and Janet's
jauntily varied signatures grating to the
nerves, it is probably because you are
lacking the refnements, including agri-
cultural. If, on the other hand, the
sentiment, romance, Feminism and Back
to the Land Movement contained in this
one light volume delight you to a turn,

social significance and the inevitable be-
stowal of his affections on the woman to
whose heart the path lies easiest. But
this is not all. A dozen figures make the
book one of breathing vitality. The real
ism of these Characterization is remark
able. From Old Mr.. Binns to the tragic
and pitiful figure Of Maggie Wheatley
there is not a person who docs not linger
in the readers mind as a completed per-
sonage by the time the end of the book is
reached. OF course, John Allday, Maggie
and the rebellious Sam Bloom form the
core of the book and the care expended
upon their portrayal is more evident than
that exhibited in the case of the others.
But the rounded proportions of those
others are always present.
Next to John Allday the figure Of Mag
gle is paramount. 1t is pitiful but per-
sistently logical. The romantic salve is
missing and while many reader will hope
violently that John will marry Maggie a
true realism prevents it. His state of mind
is evident in the exultation with which he
welcomes each chance to mingle with the
socially prominent in Selbridge and ped-
ley Hill. He is the true, yet pnobnoxious,
vulgarian. His attitude is essentially that
Of the lower English class, something that
the American may not quite relish, but he
must be judged by his own standards.
After the tragic death of Sam Bloom, nine
out of ten American novelists would shape
the story so that John would marry
Maggie. But Mr.. Wooden is too logical.
He knows that John has climbed too hard,
that the woman of social importance is
too fair bait; and so Maggie goes off
into the obscurity, leaving the path of
John unencumbered by any emotional OBJ
stacles.
There is but one flash of primitive emo
ton in the book, the vivid but discreet
scene between Maggie and Sam that
forces them into marriage, but it stands
out all the clearer through its isolation.
Handled quite as cleverly is the rather dar-
ing expedient of the novelist in bringing
certain scenes to fusion through three
important deaths in one day. 1t is sur
prising to note that the condolences do
not appear to be unduly strained.
AS an example of Characterization in its
best form Little Houses is an admirable
addition to the seasons fiction. 1t is not
big book, but it is splendid, first attempt.
1t is question to-day as to who George
Wooden is. This may not be the case to-
morrow.
