l. seriousness Of Anthony Ball to an
acute realization of the beauty of youth
and love are quite rmalike, except in one
trait; and that single trait, perhaps, is the
only thing that could have made them of
any Importance in Anthony's undirected
existence.
Whether it was Eliza or Laura or An
not, each one young and each one beau
tifuL, there was an Incorporating re
alization Of the road they desired to
travel; throughout their moods appeared
no shifting of the essential purposes. For
each woman had shaped her desire, her
ideal, if it may be called so, and did not
depart from it. From Eliza sprang the
freshness Of springtine, the adorable
ideals that could be typifed in the strong
scent Of white lilacs, the exquisite and
poignant imperfection Of nascent love.
1t was an unstabilized Anthony, unreck-
oning of the ways he should travel and
absurdly deficient in equipoise, who first
met her. That first meeting was one of
fire; it was the beginning of a new life for
the man: his unreasonable nature, pune
tilious in its frank acceptance of vast
spiritual values, had received glimpse
Of the shining goal toward which there
could be no end of striving.
Laura, drawn more slightly than the
other two women, was a hint Of the sterile
late summer of sophisticated womanhood.
She was cold, fully awakened TO the ex-
igencies Of life, having tasted to the full
the ashes contained in the core of a swift
and reckless abandonment. With Annot,
and it can hardly be gainsaid that she IS
more fully developed than the other
women and quite delectable in her pseudo
scientific, matter Of fact individuahsm,
came what might almost be termed "the
new woman" At least she more nearly
approaches the type that many modern
novelists have been unduly concerned with
during this closing decade She can calm
" dissect herself and complacently tell
anthony that her moment of passion was
recognized Is a moment of passing i'm
pulse. II is quite possible that Mr.. Herges-
heimer intended to convey the impression
that Annot was bravely concealing last
ing affection for Anthony beneath her
"free woman" talk, but the reader hates TO
believe it.
The Lay Anthony is now five years old,
and as the author has not rewritten and
revised it to any considerable extent for
this reprint it is interesting to see how
it holds up among the Hergesheimer
books that have followed it. Not so good
as JdrG Head, not so completely rounded
and large in proportions as The Three
Black Pennys, and not so coherent as one
or two Of the short stories, TG6al Cam,
for instance. Yet it carries a simple and
vivid appeal that remains absolute.
Tragic in its denOucment (if the final
dumken orgy that takes Anthony to his
dead Eliza may be so termed), there is
grip about the book that is undeniable-
Perhaps the youth Of the author had some
thing to do with it; he wrote with vivid
ness and a frankness that made his first
novel no ordinary feat.
There is fine writing in the book that
trcmbes upon the brink of ''rhetoric" at
times. There is able Characterization that
is never overdone, although Annot'S
father, the half mad biologist, is depicted
With broadness that at times is peril

Just -Four Books of Verse With Nothingm Common

''Those old spent men who moved across
the hill
Among the trees were yesterdays of NINE
and does not lightly forget those old men
who have
Like singing gods, set forth into the
past"
We like some Of the things that Mr..
Smith says rather immoderately and al
though there are no poems here which
can be called finished work, we have greet
faith in his ultimate ability.
The poetry Of Karle Wilson Baker
first known as Charlotte Wilson) has
appeared in practically all of our leading
magazines the past fifteen years although
Blue Smoke is the first collection of her
work to be published. The exquisite little
bit of free verse on the title page d
characteristic Of her latest method:
"The flame of my life burns low
Under the cluttered days,
Like fire of leaves.
But always a little blue, sweet-smelling
smoke
Goes up to God"
While the somewhat uncertain effective
ness of an earlier manner is revealed in
The Poet:
"Say'st thou the heart hath missed her
harvestings-
A mufled harp, no hand to stir the
rust?
Some note shall yet be struck from ont
the strings .s-
That shall go singing when thy heart
is dust.
'.Then soft, tread softly, clamorous heart
bereft, 81.
The lamentable chamber Of thy years.
Fame brews her nectar from the sweet
drops left
In broken Jars where Love hath stored
his tears"
Here the confusion of Smiles is sur
prising, and yet you may try making the
poem over to your satisfaction with little
hope Of retaining the haunting impress
iveness of the closing lines of each stanZa.
The things which clutter Mrs. Bakers
DAYS are those which clutter the days of
all mothers and so often give their poetry
its most poignant appeal. 1t will be suck
verses as A Little BOYS Bath which most
of us will have remembered from this
poets earlier appearances;
"You would have thought he never would
come clean,
Yet here he is, shining ike a sea-shel.
"Oh, Life, thou secret-hearted, ancient
mother,
Teach him the hidden paths to thy rock
fountains.
Make them plain to his feet,
And for the insult of thy deep pollutions,
The dust, the sweaty CRIME, and clinging
foulneSs,
Give him to know thy laughing water
courses,
And the clean brown pools
Among the rocks
ri, his mother, have jealousy kept his
firm, small body:
Keep thou his soul, o Iifel"

THEoDORB MAYNARD'S new booi

Passionate coloring and the apotheosis
Of ecelesiasticism distinguish this poets
verse he exults in the blazing pagaentry
and regal cohorts of Romanism, but his
apocalypse flames with a world seer's
vision Of new Heaven and new earth
We quote the closing stanZas:
sAnd what new secrets shall our God dis
close;
Or set what suns of FURNISHED brass to
flare;
Or what empurpled blooms to Gust the
rose;
Or what strange grass to glow hike
angels hair!

What dizzy rampired towers shall God
devise

To make Heaven pleasant to His chill

foam -.-.
Shall the first Heaven sink-as red as

When God hath cast aside His ancient

OLDEST OF FRENCH JOURNALS
Gazette de France Was First Pub.
Iished 23s Years Ago. and 10 Still
in Existence.

The first number of the Gazette de
France, the oldest newspaper in
France, was published 2s3- years ago
May 80. 1851. under the editorial d.
rection Of Doctor Renaudot. This
most powerful of the early journalists
Of France was born In 1854 and, after
graduating in medicine, established
himself In Paris about 1912. Richelieu
and Pierre d'HOziner, the genealogist,
are said to have inspired Renaudot In
establishing the Gazette, which was
published weekly and consisted of two
small sheets, the first bearing the title
Of Gazette and the second Nouvelles
Ordinaires de Divers EndrOits. Doc
tor Renaudot established the prece-
dent, long followed in European jour-
nalism and by no means extinct, Of
presenting foreign news first and rele-
eating domestic and local news to the
last page. Soon after. the establish
ment of the Gazette Doctor Renaudot
was granted an exclusive monopoly oS
printing and selling newspapers. In
France. Whep the founder died in
1853 the Gazette passed to his sons.
The title of Gazette de France was
first used In the middle Of the eight
zenith century. 1t has been published
under that title ever since, with the
exception of brief period during the
revolution of 1913, when the name was
temporarily changed to LIE People
Francais.

improved Rivet Cutter.

A pneumatic riyet cutter for use In
structural steel work and in repair
shops consists of long barrel, with
compressed air connection at one end
and a chisel at the other, the stem
of the chisel being held by coiled
spring. which draws 1t back after each
stroke. A plunger travels freely In
the barrel or tube, and small bypass
pipe connects the ends of this tube.
Two men are employed, the one at
the rear operating the valve and the
one at the front keeping the chisel
against the rivet head. The force of
the blow can be regulated by the valve.
Ali. pressure Of 80 to 90 pounds may
be used, the higher pressure being the
more effective. A punch can be in
serted In place of the chisei for. back
