PRINCESS CANTAcUzENE, pST@Y
GRANDDAUGHTER OF U s. GRANT

WI1HN the last few months these
w columns have contained reviews Of
books about Russian life since the out
break Of the war, described by American
reporters and sociologists, Russian army
officer, Bolsheviki and their sympathKcrs
and opponents, and one by a member of
the Provisional Government that was in
power for a brief time after the abdica-
ton Of the late Gar. But never before
have We had opportunity to make re-
port on a volume devoted to Russian
court life in its last days from an authori-
tative source.
Now this comes through the delightful
and absorbingly interesting volume Of
memoirs by the Princess Cantacuzene,
Countess Speransky granddaughter Of

Second Marriage"
MEYEELL'S novel, Second

VIOLA MEYEELL's novel, Second
Marriage, is at once study OF
character and painting. Were one look
ing for the same unity in novel that one
demands in a play il. would be difficult in
the present case to determine whether the
author intended her book to be the pres
entation of a mood through description
or a story of personalities in which back
ground were secondary. Fortunately, a
novel may be many things at once.
Miss Meynell has presented us with two
dominating figures, the lovely Ismay, and
her distant relative, Arnold Glimour.
Ismay married man who worshipped
her; during her short married life she had
been the more or less passive recipient of
a whole-souled passion. After her hus-
bands death she returns to her home and
family in the fens. Here she meets the
strange Arnold: whose invention for
draining the flooded fens has found no
favor with Ismay's family, the proprietOrs
of Arnold's farm. But Ismay, who is soon
attracted to the inventor, gives him all her
money. She has come to love him as her
husband once loved her:
"Ismay must love as she had been
loved and taste of the suffering that her
husband had known through her."
For Arnold is a man of floating moods
and quick dominant passions, passions for
work, for his young brother, for his pump
and for strange women. He is constantly
on the defensive against Ismay's ad-
vances, but eventually her honesty, her in
nocent alteration, disarms him. She breaks
down the barrier almost in spite of her
self and they are married.
Second Marriage is, Of course, well
written; we expect good writing from the
Maynell family -four of theml and all
writers). But there are places in this
novel where the "good writing" borders
on the tedious: good writing introdu led
for its own sake.
Second Marriage is really promising
work, for Miss Meynell is young. She
displays a comfortable ease in handling
her material, though the more mature char
acters are capable of further development
than Miss Meynell is evidently able to
give them.

Princess CantaCuzene on Russia

Wiroboff and her tool, Rasputin, is the
burden of the memoirs, in the course of
which the reader is given a glimpse Of the
lack of preparedness of Russia for war.
A shocking illustration of this is the con-
dition in which the badly wounded Prince
Cantacuzene was compelled to travel back
to Petrograd from the front, where he
had been serving as junior colonel of his
regiment, the Chevaier Guards. The
Princess describes the last days of the
autocracy, including the abdication and
arrest of the Gar and Czarina; the revo-
luton and the brief days of the Provi-
sional Government, including the Kornilof
rising; her stay at Kief with her hus-
band, who was in charge of the military
there; the escape Of the Cantacuzenes
from Kief and their journey to the Cri-
mea, whence they made their final escape
from Russia by way of Finland and
Sweden, after twenty years, for the Prin-
cess, of life in her husbands country.
These pages continually give one the
impress Of fact, of minute observation,
and careful memory. They are colored
with the gorgeous life of the court and
darkened with the general and particular
tragedies Of the nation and of the Prin-
cess and her friends. Some of the per-
sonal hardships the Cantacuzenes endured
prove how gallantly men and women used
to laXuries can stand peril and discomfort
when necessity arises, case in point be-
ing the physically abominable railway
journey from Kief to the Crimea. The
writer of these memoirs always refers to
herself as Russian; but we like to think
her American sense of humor was not the
least of her resources in enduring tie
many trials attending her life from the
night she attended that ballet perform
ancc in July, 1914, until she saw "the
lights Of Haparanda just ahead and she
turned back to look my last at the home
land we were leaving. Mysterious
as always, Russia stretched out her great
plains toward the light, and that was all
we could see of her"
To anyone who remembers her father,
the photograph of the Princess repro
duced in the book shows that, in the
homely phrase, she is a Grant

President Grant and daughter of the late
Maior-Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, U. s.
Az, entitled Revolutionary Days: Recol-
lections Of Romanofs and Bolsheviki,
1914-19f7.
The Princess Cantacuzene says in the
brief preface to the volume that she makes
no pretense to literary merit and that, II
do not aspire to present one political
party in a more advantageous light than
I do the others" In spite of this state
ment the Princess's volume may be safely
placed, for charm of tone, for pic
turesqueness of scene, and for social and
historical Importance, on the same shelf
with the memoirs of her fellow country
women, Mary King Washington and Lii
lie de Hegermann-Lindencrone. More
over this book has the additional impor-
lance Of disproving completely the state
ment that the news from Russia printed
in the American newspapers about Russia
at the time Of the Cars abdication and
subsequent to that event was colored and
distorted by the influences of the old Rus
sian Government. The Princess was of
the court circle, lived in it, knew init
mately what went on within it both politi-
cally and socially. And we have in these
pages a most faithful account of what
went on before her eyes or was told her
by people taking part in the scenes she
describes.
Only one tale of consequence came to
her in roundabout way, this being the
dramatic scene of the arrest of the Rus
sian Empress, an incident which shows
tragically the weak and vacillating char
acter Of the late Gar, and how little real
affection the people Of Russia had for
their late rulers. That mot one person
raised hand to defend the banners" of
the miserable pair who had been all
powerful Sovereigns only few days pre-
viously" was to the writer of these mem
oirs Zone Of the most eloquent details of
the whole revolution"
Nothing could be more characteristic
of life In Russia under the Romanoff re-
gime than the scene with which the Prin-
cess Cantacuzene begins her narrative, a
gala performance of the Imperial ballet
at Kraenoe-Celo on July 25, 1914, where
the Gar and all his court were living at
the summer military camp. The news of
the ultimatum to Serbia from Austria ar
rived while the ballet was in progress
and that was the beginning Of the end of
Romanoffs.
From that time on, war and the politi-
cal intigues Of the so-called Occult"
party, beaded by the sinister Madame
