Dr.. Ward Pleads for
Industrial Democracy

THE NEW SOCIAL ORDER. BY Harry F.
Ward The Macmillan Company, New
York.
DR.. Ward advocates radical changes
in the present social order on the basis
of Christian ethics. He is convinced
that Christianity is irreconciable with
the existing competitive and capitalist
system. AT the same time he eschews
the violence and hatred that are some
times associated with programs Of
revolutionary change. He wishes to
see society rebuilt from its founda-
tions. But he believes that the process
o. reconstruction must be accomplished
in spirit of idealism and good viii
if civilization is not to suffer irretrieva-
bly,. Among the forces working for a
new order he reckons the British Labor
party, the Russian Soviet republic, the
league of nations, the churches and
certain movements in the United
States. DR.. Ward analyzes all these
forces, pointing out their peculiar
merits and defects. He defines his
ideal for the future as "a fraterral
world community, the great loving
family of mankind, knit together by
common needs, but most o. all by loy-
atty to common ideals and by the power
of its common love efficiently directing
and controlling its common life"

yet his books have lost none of their
green and glowing quality. To-day
more people than ever before are buv-
ing his sets. The reader who misses
stevenson loses one of the most charm
ing companionships ever given in this
earth, for he was one of the rare ner.
sonallties of the world, and. as Henry
James says: "It was as if he wrote

and still more of his happiest verse; so
that these things gave out, besides
whatever else, his look and motions
and voice, showed his life and man

grew, IN short, to possess him entire.
and the example is the more curious
and beautiful as he neither made a
business of confession nor cultivated

Two Books About Opera
III. E. krehbiel Describes Performances
Here in Last Decade and Opera Plots
Drawing by X. \. Gu,

ne quotes number of instances to
show that opera in English has always
peen presented in this country, and
that its failure to achieve lasting popu
larlty is primarily due to it's lack of
intrinsic musical and dramatic appeal.
ne IS also skeptical about the possi-
Dlllty OF successful rendition Of an
opera whose text has been translated
into another language. AS he points
out. the lyric values associated with a
work in its original form cannot be
effectively transposed.
1t Is impossible in brief review to
convey any adequate idea of the scope
and measure of Mr.. Krehbiel's book.
NO important incident in the presenta-
tlon of opera here during the last
decade is omitted. Rich in personal
"reminiscences and anecdotes, full of
fearless, finely tempered and discern
ing criticism, the work stands out as
a monumental achievement in the
musical history of America.
Equally valuable in its sphere is Mr..
krehbiel's other publication, "a Book
OF Operas" This work includes the
material contained in "a First Book of
Operas" and "a Second Book of
Operas" The first of these volume s
discusses the old, familiar standard
works, such as "Faust," aida" "Travi-
alta" and several of the Wagner operas.
Among the important works described
in the second volume are Samson and
Delilah," "Pagliacci." Boris Godou-
now and "Madama Butterfly
Mr.. Krehbiel's clear, concise plot
summaries are boon to the occasional
operagoer, who does not care to strain
his eyes peering at the libretto while
the performance is in progress. But
the book is great deal more than a
collection of bare plots. The author
weaves into his discussion of each opera
great deal of information about the
composer, about the music, about strk-
ing incidents connected with creation
and presentation. The book will ap-
peal to the musician through its fine
scholarly and critical qualities; it will
appeal equally to the ordinary music
lover through the charm and simplicity
of it's style and through its rich fund
of interesting and entertaining stories.

COLOR SCHEMES FOR THE HOME AND
MODEL INTERIORS; BY Henry ".
Frohne and Alice F. and Bettina Jack
son. Published by j. B. Lippencott & Co
Here are two desirable books. The
first by Messrs. Eberlein, Mcclure and
Holloway covers the vast needs of the
professional or student approaching in
any capacity the needs of household
decoration. The authors have Justly
named their book practical" as they
have covered ground so great that it
is hard to believe that they have pre-
sented 30 much valuable and important
divided into three parts, the first Of
which gives a consecutive and synoptic
picture of the art of interior decoration
az it has been practiced in England,
France, Italy and Spain from the six
teenth century on, adding thereto such
comment as necessary upon American
notifications of British usage during
the colonial and early republican pc
RODS. In part two is made the direct
application to modern requirements Of
the lessons to be drawn from the his
the book. A logical system of decora-
ton which avoids both the limitations
of the one period method and the pit
falls Of eclectic furnishing is contained
in part three, to which the authors have
given the title Of international Inter-
Period of Decoration--A New System
Assembling the Styles of Various Ma
tions and Periods"
An important feature of the book is
the plates, OF which there are almost
300--seyen Of which are in color. The
volume closes with chart of four great
decorative influences, the Renaissance,
the Baroque, Rocco and Neo Classic,
which on consultation will settle any
Giycussion on data concerning these
great periods.
In Color Scheme for the Hcme ard
Modern Interiors the authors have pro-
yided the home maker with a guide TO
selecting and arranging the furnish
ingg in the home. No academic prin-
ciples are expo, nded, but series Of
color schemes and suggestive interiors
have been designed and constructed for
the purpose. The book is mainly illus
trattlve, containing some twenty repro
doctiona Of interiors, each accompanied
BY separate explanatory color plate,
representing :. colorful scheme Of deco

shown in the various color harmonics
