1 UTOBIOGRAPHY is always inter-

A PHOTOGRAPHY is always inter
IA esting. Always. Sometimes it is
more interesting. Mrs. WiIeox's is quite
interesting. 1t is large book: which is
a virtue in good book, defect in bad
one. This book is not too large.
The author Of Poems of Passion lets
herself 60 in her Life. More or less, that
is. Really, it might be said that she opens
the door quite cautiously in fact, but
with the grandest of door opening ges-
ture.
The jacket calls her career "meteroic."
1t is new word, and a good one; not
indispensable, because there are so few
ellawheelerwilcoxes, and the word fits no
others, with its suggestion of meter, me-
teor and heroic. A 3 in l word for 3

Maupassant's 'Yvette'
and Ten Other Stories

THO those familiar with de Maupassant
l. the interesting thing about Mr..
Knopfs publication of Yret.e and Ten
Other Stories will be the introduction by
Joseph Conrad, for the tales themselves
are well known. The fact that the pres
ent translation is by Mrs. John Gals
worthy may provoke curiosity in persons
who are always seeking new kinks in the
turning of French classic into English.
Mr.. Conrad's little essay on de Maupas-
SAINT is pleasant. Naturally, he likes him,
for he, the Frenehman, @will not be led
into perdition by the seductions of senti-
ment, Of eloquence, of humor, of pathos;
Of all that splendid pageant of faults that
pass between the writer and his prebity
on the blank sheet of paper, like the gilt
tering cortege of deadly sins before the
austere anchorite in the desert air Of
ThebaIde." The admirers Of Conrad may
be tempted to say that this praise will
apply as well to Joseph as to Guy.

"Ivan Speaks"

IVAN SPEAKS, brief selections from
1 sayings overheard at the front by a
Russian nurse among Russian soldiers,
could never be mistaken for the utterances
Of any but Russian soldiers. Nowhere else
is there the same thirst for learning, un-
derstanding, light of any sort on the ap-
parently impenetrable darkness that has
come over the world. When we remem-
Der that over so per cent. Of the people

as this in the Dostoievsky manner:
81 should like to drink a barrel of
vodka. That was what l always had to
be at when l was unhappy. And now,
as ones LIE is that of the beasts, it would
be better to be like beast in ALL" Sim
ilariy it must be remembered that many
of the tears which these soldiers shed and
which we are inclined to attribute to lack
Of character are in all probability purely
alcoholic.

candles That Burn"

A MONG spring books of poetry Doran
/ \ is publishing Candies That Burn, by
Aine Kilmer, the wife Of Joyce Kilmer.
These poems, appearing in various periodi-
calls during the past ten years, have al
ready given her distinctive place among
our modern poets and it is great pleas
ure to see them as a collection. Possibly
because Mrs Kifmer has written so little
her work shows a surprising freshness and
naivete and in gaining strength has lost
none of its early delicaey. Her phrasing
is simple, almost austere. Nothing could
be less assuming or more appealing. The
poems TO her four or five children, which
form large part of the book, are utterly
charming and offer the ideal explanation
for the comparative meagreness Of her
output. Experience gives quaint and de-
icious picture:
Deborah danced, when she was two,
As buttercups and daffodils do;
Spirited. frail, naively bold,
Her hair ruffled crest Of gold,
And whenever she spoke her voice went
singing
Like water up from fountain springing.
~But now her step is quiet and slow;
She walks the way primroses go;
Her hair is yellow instead Of gilt,
uov x,o,oo g Joc,pr 1rvx-olxy EIf
And in place of her wild, delightful ways
A quaint precision rules her days.
"For Deborah now is three, and oh,
She knows so much that she did not know
We have no one in America whose child
verse is at all like Mrs. Kilmers. 1t has
a great deal of the charm of Helen Parry
Eden's; and as they are both Catholics,
both wives of distinguished men and moth
ers of several small children, it is an in
teresting coincidence that their poetry
should have somewhat the same flavor.
The general trend of this volume, which Is
a small one, would be sOrrowful if it were
not so courageous. Poems such as High
Heart and after Griering could never
have been written by any one who had not
known grief, but they leave no feeling Of
dependency. I Shall Not Be Afrai6
betrays another phase of emotion:
81 shall not be afraid any more,
Either by night or day;
What would it profit me to be afraid
With you awayf
"Now 1 am brave. In the dark night alone
All through the house go,
Locking the doors and making windows
fast
When sharp winds blow.
"For there is only sorrow in my heart;
There is no room for fear.
But how l wish 1 were afraid again,
My dear, my dear!'
