her vivacity Is unquenched, even in the

Novels With "Deliverance"

of the cosmic 1awlessness which re-
flutes the social dictum. From the boy
Tom, with whom she has ranged the
hills, she comes to know the ruthless
ness Of nature, from the events of her
own life she comes to know the ruth
lessness Of life-and she reaches her
own evaluations Of huaAn conduct and
an understanding Of her father. For
his callous desertion of his dying Eng
lish wife and their two little children
in Burmese village, for his shameless
temperance in the quiet English viii
lage when the girls have grown up, for
the strange course Of his erotic adven-
turing, she gives him absolusion. These
are, by a deeper. measure. proof Of his
vitality for experiences. Of strong
stomach for life.
In evoking the sense Of wider stir
ring on the face of the earth than the
life OF man Grant Watson has given
freer note to this novel. The early
chapters, in which are painted the ter
rifying sense of the onrushing fertility
of life which Is the pain Of adolescence,
are by far the best Of the book. Later,
when the author sends Tom and Susan,
married, into London studio life It pro-
ceeds in more conventional groove.
Here Grant-Watson falls. az others
have done before him. By the simple
expedient of making a man or woman
an artist he resolves all their irrele-
vancies of conduct and character. Even
Paul Zalesky, SO sharply and pungently
conceived, fades in this atmosphere.
And the heroics Of Susan when she
submits to the fact that her husband
loves another woman lack any sort of
conviction.
"Deliverance" Is uneven and some
times obscure. but It is by its eager
ness and intensity an interesting prod
uct Of the modern spirit.

short stories contains more heroic res
cues to the chapter than any work of
fiction published in recent years. In
the title story Rufus the Red pulls a

prologue. And in 1.-THE Return Game"
Major Homo carries his princess to

Miss Dell, whose "The Lamp in the

derstands the value Of stock situations.
In one story a husband acts the part

other strong, silent man-Rufus the

In another novelette, the hero chances

Whether 1t was the war that stimu-

beauty Of our own country or whether
the unprecedented prosperity Of the
last four years increased the desire
of our people to travel and see what
there Is to be seen in America is
hard to say. However, the fact re-
mains that more books on the scenery
