Mrs. Bradley is remembering in her
garden the first time that she and her

hepaticas. "They had come upon
them suddenly after their tour of the

leaves of many an autumn; a narrow
path ran, half obliterated, down to the
river and among the faded brown.

Into this scene Jack suddenly pre-

the pretty tea gown her mother-in-law

The Phoenix Rises
From Her Ashes

BELGIUM: OLD AND NEW. By
George Wharton Edwards. Philadel-
phia: Penn Publishing Company.
Sumptuously arrayed in gold and
maroon, with splendor that reminds
us Of scenes In our reading Of the
Burgundy Chronicles and the ever
fascinating Froissart. this book Of a
noted American writer and artist bids
us Merry Christmas" even before the
curtain rises or the door is opened.
Master of both pen and pencil, we
know well what this veteran traveller
and seeker after beauty is and has
done. But dare we unfold the gilded
portals, stamped with medieval
castles, and the golden lion of Bel
GUM? Will the interior contents
match the luxuriant exterior? So
we hesitate ON the threshold-or the
drawbridge.
Vain fear! No sooner is the port
cullis lifted and the oaken door swung
open than we meet world of color,
edifices quaint and rich, castles and
cathedral mellowed with age stored
facades and Respondent interiors. The
mystery Of medieval massiveness Of
wall and buttress, heavy and fascinat-
ing while forbidding, contrasting with
the inner glories of nave and stained
glass windows enthralls us. Besides the
waters of sluggish canals silted by CEN
turtles Of flow rise the towers and spires
far into the air. while the carillons
the unique bell music of the Neither
lands-woo the air and ripple the at
mosphere. Yet around these lofty
mountains of stone break the waves Of
daily toll and traffic. for Belgium is
new as well as old. Rising phHnixlike
out Of the ashes Of war, she holds her
own proudly. The medieval boast of
her chief seaport may yet become q
modern instance-"all the world is q
ring and Antwerp is it's jewel"
We knew Edwards's work before,
but this Is his masterpiece. Teniers
may have, in his realistic paintings, de-
scribed abundant worth In trivial COM
monplace." but our American dwells
most. long and lovingly, on things
royal, ancient and venerable. He has
an impressive luxuriance Of style and
pencil. He feels the spell of what war
has achieved in the realms of beauty.
He sees the best that is in the Belgian
people. He understands how two ethnic
stocks, using two different languages
and dwelling in the most densely popu-
lated area in the world, can live in
content, happiness and unity He
shows the great debt of the world to
the Belgians. His book is an ilumi-
mated encyclopedia of information,
yet always readable. He makes us,
like himself, cry most enthusiastically,
"Vive la Belgique."

lost him, and with him went all her
life. He was dead, his youth and
strength and beauty. Yet what was
this strange upwelling Of relief, deep,
deep relief, for Jack; this gladness,
poignant and celestial. like that of the
hepaticas? He was dead and the dark
earth covered him; yet he was here,
with her, safe in his youth and
strength and beauty forever. He had
died the glorious death. and no future,
tangled, perplexed, fretful with its
foolish burden, lay before him. There
was no loss for Jack: no facing, no
waste. The burden was for her and
he was free"
Autumn Crocuses," the last story
In the book, is a devastating tale of q
sensitive man, shattered by the hor-
rors of war he has seen. led back from
world of revenge, bitterness and a
coruscating sorrow into a land of
blindingly beautiful reality by an ap-
parently commonplace woman, who at
first had seemed to him merely dull
and who at the finish is seen by him
as a vision of one who has already
been in the Garden of Gethsemane.
They take last walk together to the
meadow where the autumn crocuses
grow: "Divinely she was helping him.
1t was as IL, taking him by the hand,
she led him again away from his dark
ness and into her own light.
Yes, brokenly, 1t came to him, it
was there, secure; how won, he knew
not. Through her he had found it;
but that was because her feet had
passed before him up the Calvary. She
had gone through everything; and she
knew everything.
And to his new hearing, something
of the infinite WEAKNESS of the ascent
was in her voice when she next spoke,
although 1t was a voice as peaceful
as the evening air around them. Are
they not oeautiful?' she said.
He raised his head and looked at
the flowers through his tears. They
had never been so beautiful They
make me think Of YOU he told her.
"'Do they?' Mrs. Baldwin still
leaned her head against her hand, still
looked out over the meadows. But

After reading this book one sits the
vocabulary firmly, refining it in as
though it were spirited horse that
seeks to plunge, rear and set off on a
dead canter when more or less sober
trot is in order. Superlatives are SUI
perlatively easy when writing of such
art as Mrs. de Selincourt's. But one is
profoundly conscious that exactly the
right superlatives are essential.
Mrs. de Selincourt interweaves curl
ously potent human personalities in a
fabric that is almost too gossamer-
like to touch in any review. One does
not criticise a butterfly. One merely
watches it's beauty with sort of
breathless intensity as it fits across
the path. That is the way these short
stories affect the chance passerby.
Perhaps the greatest gift that Mrs.
de Selincourt offers is her exquisitely
fine sensibility, her almost unique
understanding of peoples preferences,
peccadillos and passions. Other artists
may write as well, though we are in
clined to doubt that. Possibly other
artists may create such unspeakably
lovely gardens as Mrs. de Selincourt
