The first of the three, Conrad in Quest
of His Youth, converts the conscientious
agnostic. 1t is one of the joyous effer-
vescences of the language. The high spirit
of ZuleikG DObson is here, mated to the
kindly variety of The Crime Of .SylUeStre
Bonnard. All men are conseripted by life
into one persisting vagrant journey: the
search for ones youth; as all men have
the same obvious goal, that death which
opens a new and scattering youth. Many
do not find the young goal, but Conrad
Warrener did and all may. Childhood sur
roundings revisited, old friendships re-
enacted, old loves rewooed-these could
not Weld the sensations the traveller
toward yesterday sought. Instead, he
found it in But there! My lips once
touched a leaf of the tree of silence;
