Iris Tree is the author of a gay looking
book of poems with razzle-dazzle decOra-
tions by Curtis Moffat. She has rich
emotion and originality, and a store Of
variegated images, but lacks the art of
sorting and massing her material to the
best advantage. Many individual poems
are too long, and the book as a whole
should have been condensed. She really
needs to take up arms against sea of

Suicide by a House

EfHlNE III MI lhE1, In common
IL with most intelligent people, be-
lieves that old houses have souls, particu-
larly old houses which have been lived in
by several generations Of one family. She
also believes that they are capable of
committing suicide; in fact, that is what
happens to The Homestead in her new
novel by that name Harriet Monroe in
writing and speaking of poetry recently
has taken frequent occasion to inveigh
against the use of Sappho, Pan, Babylon,
Arcadia and such words. There is no
question that certain poets have used them
so long and so successfully that thy come
to look upon them as veritable wage
earners, and that slight stigma attaches
to them as well as to many other beauti-
full words unless their use is wholly JUS
titled
This is especially true of the once flaw
less word, homestead. 1t has been given
such hard wear and has been so Graded
in sentimentality that it is only fair to ex-
plain that The Homestead in this ease is
not what one would expect, being neither
commonplace nor sentimental, merely I'M
fortunately named. Zephine Humphrey,
whose other name is Mrs. Wallace Fahne-
stock, has written of an old New Eng
land farmhouse, built and trained by John
Marshall and lived in by several succeed
ing generations of Marshals. There is a
constant warning between the house and
aberrant members of the family, some Of
whom run away from it, but most of whom
pine away in it. Our particular concern
is Barbara Marshall, in whom were
blended almost equally the love of home
and traditions and the restlessness of an
alien seafaring grandfather.
1t was, Mrs. Fahnestock says, n gues-
ton of roots and wings with Barbara. She
was accustomed to the roots and had never
had the opportunity of trying her wings.
Therefore when she reached the place
where it became necessary to choose she
would have chosen the roots if it had not
been for an unwise lover and wise one.
1t is sometimes easier to abandon I'M
known joys than known pains. As Bar
bara sat on her favorite hill, refuge
since childhood, planning with the wise
lover permanent refuge from the iron
hand of the house, it took things into its
own hands and, as we have intimated,
committed suicide. The closing scene is
splendidly drawn.
Barbara's younger brother is named
Reuben in Difference to farm tradition,
and he is made to talk this way for no
transparent reason, while the rest of his
family speak with marked correctness:
Barbara amt nearly so pretty as she
used TO be and she's CROWN obstinate, sot
III her WAYS, n lot like her father. |
couldn't do nothing with her about those
potatoes
This is. however, the single instance in
which the book fails to ring true and
perhaps it is ungracious to mention it.
Mrs Fahncstock is writing of that part Of
New England which is now her home, and
it is evident that she has taken unto herself
large portions Of its spirit. Her book
as a whole is as harmonious rs possible.

An Epic of Roosevelt
and Some Other Poems

N USSELL J. WILBUR'S Theodore
IN RooSerelt is fearless ana search
ing analysis of the great mans character
and career. This verse sequence OF thirty
eight sonnets and quatorzains, somewhat
rough hewn in craftsmanship, is full of
passion, thought and literary culture; and
its technical weaknesses are engagingly
explained in the Proem: .
HNevcr before in life hast been my part
To speak in rhyme" -
saws the novice in metre who is none the
less a master of intricate and sometimes
over erudite expression of a style so lofty
chat only a sane humor keeps it FROM
being top-lofty.
An ex-politic;an and convert Catholic
priest with a rich tinge Of paganism,
Father Wilbur has himself something Of
the Rooseveltian likeness. His mental and
temperamental toga is as ample and wind
blown and perhaps more diversely col
ored. The development of his own pictur-
esque personality is happily set forth in
q necessary forewOrd by William Hurd.
As for the impromptu poets portrait OF
his epic-hero, it is huge, cosmic He has
splashed at ten league canvas and
splashed effectively enough to win Roose-
velt's own approval. All but the memorial
tributes were written several months be-
fore Roosevelt's death. A fitting summa-
ton of the spirit of the whole tribute is
reached in the sestet of the ENJOY:
aIet all who read, then, know in thee
find
All vehement, flawed, turbid as thou art
Absndant storehouse whence feed with
dole:
"Tb sanity and balance Of my rind,
The hope, the joy and valor of my heart,
The energy and passion of my soul"
The poetic sequence as a whole smacks
with amusing and astonishing versatility
Of classicism and almost slangy modernlty.
There are mscannable lines and number
less diversions which would make the shade
of Aldrich shudder.

Walter Adolphe Roberts is a book of

adaptations and TRANSACTIONS from the

"They have but lent new glory 10 the fame
Art cannot perish when the vandals pass.
Go ask of Rodin, ask of Phidias,
If these proud stones shall speak TO us in
