Marie Bashkirtseff Again

IF in that bourne from which ghost re-
i turns every once in a while the souls
Of Henri Frederic Amiel and Marie
Bashkirtseff ever came face to face and
spoke as they wrote in their diaries, one
would see the bare nerves and the very
pith and marrow Of the nineteenth CEN
tury. The Journal Istime Of the Hamlet
of European culture and the Journal OF
the Russian Hedda Gabler are the two
greatest private documents Of that scepti-
cal, neurotic age. They are the mirrors
of the intellectual debaele engineered by
Voltaire and Rousseau from behind the
great red curtain of the French Revolu
ton.
The intellectual health of Europe began
to decline with the publication Of Rous-
seau's Confessions. The braggarts and
the braves passed. The mind began to
think, to pick at its sheets, to founder
around in facts. Out Of the bandbox of
personal identity stepped multiple per-
sonality. The sick genius appeared Only
one ever got well in that century-Wer-
ther became Goethe. The rest were sub
lime neurotics. Amiel and Marie Bashkirt-
self were their historians.
The Journal Of Marie Bashkirtsef makes
the wider and more popular appeal. 1t
is written naturally, telephonically, repor
torically, by woman who died when she
was %. A paradox: she was Russian
who loved lifel She loved fame and
glory with the passion Of Hugo. She
had thought about everything, but had
felt profoundly only about one thing,
Love. She painted while she awaited it.
In the intervals she put down on paper
from her twelfth year to almost her death
hour the nothings of her life, her i'm
pressions of people, her love Of God,
whom she believed in passionately; her
deafness, her morbidities, her restlessness.
Her book is proof that a thing may be
trivial and yet be Of tremendous impOr-
tance. Does some one kiss the hand of
Marie7 1t is put down as vital. Whyi
Because Marie believes and feels it to be
so, and her genius conveys the vitality and
Importance of the act to the reader. 1t is
the mystery of the intimate style when
genius pushes the pen.
A new and revised edition Of the Jour
nal, translated by Mary ]. Serrano, has
Just been issued. 1t is a much bigger
volume than the one we read nearly thirty
years ago, at the time Gladstone had pro-
claimed it "book without parallel" This
was about the time of the old mans scrap
with Tom Huxley in the North American
Rerieu over the infalIfhiifry of the Bible

Maurice Francis Egan, former Minis

Near the German Frontier Ooran), has
this to say Of Germany's peace spokes-
man: "When Rantzau was Voltaire he
was frightfnlly diabohcal; when he was
Heine he was delightfully."- diabolical; but
when he was just Rantzau be was the devil
himself You are not likely to
meet him in Heayen-until late in Eter-

The Holiday Husband"
By GEORGE GORDON.

A BOUT the middle of May, at the
IN booksellers convention in Boston,
Mr.. Harold J. Laski-the 81. j. L. Of the
New RepsbIic-ventured the suggestion
that too much emphasis is laid upon new
books, those published within the month,
whereas older and possibly better books
are almost entirely neglected, and that
something should be done about it. l have
therefore almost decided to write an es-
say on the RhodG Fleming of George
Meredith, that most gorgeous and moving
of English novels, or the Gone to Earth
Of Miss Mary Webb, which is so Mere
dithian and so fine. For to review The
Holiday Hasband Of Dolf Wyllarde is to
try the patience of the sane. It is writ
ten in the most uninspired and abominabls
English, opening one sentence to say ''he
had not the least idea" and the next "h
he had had, he might have" or qualifying
every clause down peg with "sinee"
and comparing the heroine (who-hor-
rible to think must work for her bread
as secretary in an ofaee) to rabbit or
some nocturnal creature, merely because
DoR Wyllarde has no notion what sort
of creature her heroine may be and no
imagination for metaphor or simile.
So we watch the heroine take off her
coat and hang it on the hook, we sit by
while she drinks tea, we read the most
name of the letters she, as secretary, writes
during Office hours, we become as bored
with her business and her empty exist
ence as ever she was, and progress slowly
through interminably arid pages to no
conclusion and to no knowledge Of the
poor wretch who is nevertheless (if we
are to believe her creator) most roman
tically inclined, the spoil Of every whim
and vagrant fancy, the very stuff on which
dreams are made.
The book is presumably naughty, de-
tailing-ye gods! the meticulous and
stupid detaiLhow Vervain Chalmont,
fearing that she may CLEAN no pleasure
from her youth-(the fear Of every hum
drum novelist for her brain child picks
up q bearded stranger IN the Twopenny
Tube, wondering the while how it would
feel to be kissed by beard, and goes OF
with him for a two weeks holiday-then
the war, and-hark to the blurb Dame
Destiny with trump card to playi Re-
turns the one man she, the holiday wife,
might have married-eould anything be
more expectedf And the denouement, &c.
It is, however, all too apparent to the
most casual Of Freudian disciples that
Dolf Wyllarde is no Madame Sand cn3
has gone on no such trip to either Bounce
mouth or Brighton. Therefore, though
the town Of Hindle wake to q habble OF
gossip, and passionate innoeents congrat-
ulate the author on her genius, Il you have
ever stolen sweets you will cry out IN pain
at one who never dreams that they are
really sweetest, who-if she is not hon.
esly proud Of her chastity-might better
employ her time reading Balzac or
Sehnitzler than wasting ours writing Of
amour.

Celts and Seamen
in New Books of Verse

Dooney, written since the publication Of
Songs Of the Real and The Little Coat Of
Dreams. The third collection carries on
her traditions and beliefs. "When you go
with God all the way is wonder" is the
little note which she places at the begin
ming Of the volume. There is also an en-
thusiastic introduction by Sir Arthur
CUTLER Couch. "Of these pages" he says,
"the burthen is Of woman's devotion to
man, honor of him, reverence for the God
she discovers in him" We quote from
ono Of the many poems embodying this
admirable awe:
HMan is the woman's house on earth
Her roof, her warm, dear walls. her door
Into the doing evermore
Which is her wonder and her worth.
ITO labor in its rooms, to dress
Her spirit there for prayer and praise,
To laugh and weep in it always,
Shall be her sacred happiness"
Miss Dooney's verse is musical and
pretty and reflects beautiful spirit, but
it is also very cloying. 1t reminds US Of
the old woman who went around doing
good until everybody hated her. There is
too much bowling beneath the yoke, both
domestic and religious, and it is relief
to turn from it TO so refreshingly villain
Gus q song entitled The Pirates Only De-
light in c. Fox Smiths Sailor Totrn:
"Hey, DULLES, ho, DULLES, what have We
seen,
Flying with the seagulls where the seas
are greeni
"Oh, I saw a ship a-sinking
And the sight it pleased me well
(Says Teach the pirate, drinking
Red wine in heli).
sHey, DULLES, no, bullies, saw you aught
besidef
Oh, we saw a drowned girl there difting
on the tide!
"a sight to split you laughing,
sweet thing to tell
(Says Teach the pirate, quafing
Red wine in helD."
The most surprising thing about Sailor
Tovn and Small Craft, companion books
Of rollieking sea verse published by Do
ran, is that they are the work of woman.
Somehow we have relied so long upon
men for our cbantys and sea songs that
we have come to look upon them as mans
prerogative, which is, Of course, absurd
and all of piece with thinking that
woman's place is in the home. There are
not many men writing poetry to-day who
can compete with Miss Smith in singing of
the sea, the wharves and the ships. Many
Of her poems have appeared in English
periodicals and in anthologies and are
already extremely popular. Whether a
person desires two volumes Of poems
devoted to maritime poetry is a thing to
be decided individually. We like espe-
cially this song of a sailor who thinks
that maybe when he is growing old he'll
curl up ashore as the old whales do and
leave the sea- 1t is called The Old Whale
and will be found in Small Craft. We
quote in part:
@I'l grow few flowers then; I'll have
few friends nigh me,
Lie soft and never care for all the winds
that blow;
Eat, and sleep, and smoke, and let the

u. s. To GUARD
Bonn HOLDERS
FROM CROOKS
Asks for Names of Persons
Trading Worthless Stock
for Liberty Bonds

The United States government has
begun a determined fight against Lib
erty Bond swindlers to protect the
people who periodically responded to
the call for funds to support the war.
All persons who are sent literature
or are approached by dealers per
suading them to part with their bond
holdings for what are considered spec
ulative or doubtful securities have
been asked by the government to send
the names and addresses of the COM
panies to the Federal Trade Commits
sion, Washington, D. G..
The Fedora. Trade Commission will
call for reports in proper cases and
the Federal Trade Act provides that
any company or person making a
false report to the commission will
be heavily fined and imprisoned. The
commission points out that the small
est holder can obtain the same price
as the shark and that all the expenses
of running the fraudulent business of
the Illicit dealers must be borne by
the holder of the bonds.
The government by successful
campaign at this time hopes to con-
vince prospective buyers of the Vic
tory Loan that it is ready to make
every effort to stand behind holders OF
government bonds.

S. u. B. CLUB MEMBERS
VISIT DEWEY MINE

The S. L. B. club enjoyed its first
real hike of the season last Sunday when
the club members journeyed to the
Dewey mine and the electric light
plant. They left the Imperial hotel
about Sunday morning in trucks for
the top of the hill and made the decent
to the mine on foot At the mine they
were shown through the entire workings
by Mr.. Byram, local manager. After a
table d 'hote dinner at the mine cook
shack, the entire party walked up the
river to the electric light plant and
dam, where Mr.. Kelley explained the
workings and various features.
The party returned to the Dewey and
packed up for the trip home. Coming
out the route was over the new road
that has been made up a gradual grade
to the Harpster road where the party
was met by the trucks. Those making
the trip were Mesdames. Batty, Lewis,
Brown, Stubs, Bert Baker, Misses
Coyne, Knorr, Lewis, Hupp, Hines, and
DR.. Powell; and Messrs. Bert Baker,
Stubs, Peterson, Anger, Bicknell and

One line with two cents back for
change brought 5000 German helmets
to the Liberty Loan Committee of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District to
be used in the Victory drive.
When c. A. Farnsworth, manager of

ten cents in a letter with a request
that he be sent his share OF the tro-
plies.
A wire came back the next day
saying that 5000 helmets would be
shipped with two pennies for change
Mr.. Farnsworth wired to keep the
change and apply it on a submarine

to have to help advertise the cam

Sick and distressed you find,
And help their needs.
Widows and orphans, too,
Turn joyously to you,
And ever thanks renew
For kindly deeds.

May we be ever true
And keep our aim in view
To spread our teachings through
The whole world wide.
