deeply in the perception of common

quality that shapes human beings TO
such an astonishing and romantic
variety. The two old men are truly
distinguished portraits-unique and in
tegral, drawn with an exquisite clarity.
And the prose of its telling is rhythmic
and sensitive and simple, in form and
spirit more than half poetry.
The. Golden Barque, which com
prises the latter half of the book. is
made up of set of sketches lightly
held together oy the point at which, in
one way or another, their characters
are concerned in the fortunes Of the

which makes q single monotonous trip

A Scotch Family
Many Quaint Touches If
"A Tale That Is Told

T<REDERICK NIvEN lives up to
his reputation for originality in
his latest novel, which bears the
rather non-committal title A Tale That
Is Told (Doran). The author is one Of
the most adventurous of tho younger
generation Of English novelists. He has
tried many experiments in fictional writ
ing, and his readers never know what
to- expect next.
The present novel may be described a,
a series of very vivid personal sketches.
l he author takes Scotch minister and
His family and places them before US
with mass Of detail, relieved by occa-
sonal sharp character strokes. Mr..
Nlven is an omniverous observer At
the same time his gift of humor saves
him from tho dullness of Photographic
realism. Mr.. Niven possesses the fac
u]ty Of conveying very definite image
OF an individuals personality by relat-
ing characteristic anecdote or episode.
There is plenty of good fun in the
book. At one time three Of the minis
ter's sons undertake to manage cir
culating library. They encounter some
peculiar tastes on the part of the read
ing public. There is the gay young
lady who doesn't want any book that is
in, on the ground that it must be un-
popular and, therefore, undesirable.
Then there is the man who always mis-
Ironounces names, fitting figure who
might have appeared in the pages Of
Dickens. s~>.
"Ha, good evening"" he said. "Now,
what do I want? Yes. know. l want,
for myself, copy of The I-rate Pirate,
and for my wife copy of Jude the
Obscene. She also wants book about
hell. I can't recall the name"
Letters from He'll"
"No"
Sorrows Of Satan ?"
"That's it. knew it was something
like that"
Mr.. Niven's tale is worth telling; and
it Is we'll told.

r is seldom that one encounters

T is seldom that one encounters q
work so quantity medieval in form
and spirit as XVI Revelations OF
Divine Love Showed to Mother Juliana
of Norwich (Dutton). Mother Julian3
was devout nun Of the fourteenth
century, and her writings are perrneat-
ed with the spirit Of exalted mysticism
that. is so Characteristic Of the re-
ligious life of the Middle Ages
What! Wouldst thou wit thy Lords

Love was his meaning. Who showed
it thee? Love. Wherefore showed He
it thee For love. Hold thee therein,
and thou shalt wit it more in that same.
But thou shalt never wit therein other
without end"
This passage may well be called tho
keynote Of Mother Juliana's Revela-
tions, for her mystical experiences ara
q symphony based upon one dominant
and recurring themc--the supreme
beauty and potency of the love of God.
Against this mighty force nothing can
prevail: neither sinfulness nor disease,
nor the fralty of human conduct, nor
the weakness of human understanding.
Mother Juliana's ecstatic visions ara
always tempered with tenderness. She
pauses in an impassioned description OF
the scenes connected with the Crucifx-
ion to utter this exquisitely beautiful
reelection upon the loving care whiv-
the Creator lavishes upon His children
''He is our clothing, that for love
wrappcth US, and windeth US, halseth
(embraces) us, and nil becloseth Us.
hsngeth about as for tender love, that
he maie never leave u.s."
Except for few biographical details
which appear in the work itself prsc-
tically nothing Is known of Mother
Juliana's life. But the literature Of
medieval Christianity has been en-
riched by this product of her warm
piety, broad human sympathy and live
ly imagination. Father George Tyrell,
S. j., writes preface to the book The
Revelations are published practically in
their original form, the archaic Ian

Harry Lees Free Verso
An ocean away in artistic merit, yet
deserving reading as an appealing docu-
ment, is High Company, by Harry Lee.
Hospital scenes largely, written in the
form Of free verse that might as we'll
be prose, these pages undoubtedly ex-
press very fairly the cheerful senti-
mentalism Of the average soldier. That
is the odd upshot Of much writing out
Of the war-the highly sensitive soul of
Ssssoon writes something that is
beautiful and moving, but it is no more
war as war appears to the ordinary
soldier than the feelings of Sassoon
at Shakespeare performance are the
feelings of the ordinary listener And
since war is not only what physically
happens, but what, far more, is hu-
manly felt, it is probably true that
Sassoon is hopelessly misleading and
the artless emotionalism of Harry Lee
far nearer the truth.

The u. S. of To-Day
A History of the Nation
After Civil War

M1HEN Lee surrendered to Grant

march in history. 1t might be said with
reason that gates opened on the West
with the end Of the Civil War era, for
the journeying of countless pathfnders
and settlers began during the decade
that Immediately followed the death Of
Lincoln. There are millions of men in
the United States to-day whose lives are
spanned within the years from 1856 to
1920, and it is luty to give them, in
condensed form graphic story Of the
growth of thei ,untry during the pc
riod of their ! 8. Professor Paul L..
Haworth in The United States III
Our Own Tim 1865-192O (Scribners)
has written - scholarly, illuminating
and readable history of this era of the
modern American. 1t is a work Of def
mite value, both to the student and to
the broadmnded business man who de-
sires to know the economic facts of his
country's progress.
Professor Haworth opens his history
with the perplexing days of reconstruc-
ton that followed 1865. IF ever the
nation was at point seriously threat
ening disruption it was in the short
interregnum of the johnson administra-
ton. There was the grave danger Of
continuing the menace Of secession in
the existence of section Of the coun-
try remaining embittered and openly
hostile through the exercise Of unwise
efforts in legislation by u xictorious and
revengeful majority. Northern men, es-
pecially veterans Of the Civil War
schooled in the habits of Lincoln's mood
made stern through the calamity of his
death, saw nothing good in Andrew
Johnson, whose efforts to obliterate the
evil memories of the war seemed to them
to be colored too much by Southern hues
And vet to-day, as we review the orgy
or misrule that made the South land
OF disorder in the months of the carpet
bagger and the Ku Klux Klan, we admit
that johnson was not wholly wrong in
his plans of conciiation.
In rapidly moving paragraphs Pro
fessor Haworth goes on through the
, administrations of Grant and Hayes

tons created by the Civil War. There

A Novel ofrerror
Atmosphere Carries Turn
er's New Book

"ERTAINLY if one could make
q novel out Of atmosphere alone
George Kbbe Turner should
have made q remarkable one of MS
novel, Hagar's Hoard CA. A. KnopD.
For the atmosphere Of this story is
amazingly effective-thick, sinister and
sultry, a miasmic air in which all ter
rors, however grotesque, become I'M
mediately credible and real. AS it is,
Turner has written a story which at
least in part makes a powerful as
sault upon the imagination.
For it is impossible to withstand
the terror, which Turner makes vivid
with an extraordinary cumulative
shock the terror Of a ramshacke
Southern city OF the '70s at the
approach of the yellow fever. Closer
and closer it creeps through the
crouching city until it reaches the
gaunt house on the hillside, the monu-
ment to dead mans folly and ambi-
ton, where Athie Hagar, the miser,
lives-and the story becomes q con-
fiict between his fear of the plague
and the fear to leave his money un-
guarded,
Everything in the story is subdued
to this atmosphere of suspense and
terror. The people are characters fiat
tened, seen in one dimension with only
a single characteristic and that the
one the story requires. The mser,
perpetually prowling in his obsession
about thieves and fire; the pale girl,
his daughter, obdurately following him:
the Negro servant with her ecstatc
vision Of Lac plague as herald of the
millennium; the whispering, the super
stitions, the fever stricken city, the
implacable glare Of noon and the fever
fires by night, the negro undertaker's
cry of MEX haste! Mex haste" in the
dead of night, the furious anger of the
whites against the negroes for their
immunlty-with curious fitness the
commonest kind of American life is
transferred into an atmosphere Of
stark medieval terror and superstition
The episode and substance of the
story ITSELF even its aracterzation,
Is thin IN proportion as its atmosphere
is thick. The very crisis of the story,
the death Of the mser in q seizure
Of fever beside his gold. is merely an
effect. Indeed, so far as the story itself
is concerned it seems no more than
an episode Of short story size, ampli-
ned at the solicitation, say, of The
Saturday Evening Post, to the length
OF q novel. 1t would perhaps have
been even more striking if the whole
effect had been contained in a short
story. 1t is. however, even in its in
tiation an interesting and striking piece

Sentiment Wins at the Finish
But There's More Than That in The Enemies
of Women

NLY an optimist would expec,
to find a fresh treatment oi
the woman -hater in fiction. 1r
real life men may 60 to ths
grave muttering hatred for the oppos-
ing sex; In books 1t is never permit
ted. However stanch the woman
haters may DO in their profession, II
has been an inviolate custom down
through the ages for the author ia
break their determination bit by bit
and at last return them to full ro-
nance.
SO it is not surprising that Vicente
Blasco Ibafez bows gracefully to this
custom in his new novel, The Enemies
Of Women (Dutton). Apparently he
had no choice In the matter. And we
cannot say that his work suffers from
conforming with tho rule.
Plot That Waivers
Actually, the novel does not stand
firmly on the woman-hater problem as
4 theme. After the title and the open
ing chapters have been disposed Of il
begins to waver on the proposition and
never really goes back to pick Up the
loose ends. This neglect should not
cause too much resentment. Vhere
are always a string Of candidates pant
ing to write volumes about woman
hsters, unmarried by any counter
plots or themes.
For those who are confidently sx-
pecting another Four Horsemen from
lbahez there will be soma disappoint-
touches the heights only ct rare In
tsrvals. There are flashes Of tho
power and brilliance that have set
Ibanez so far above the pack, and then
there are just words.
Possibly somc of this Is duo to the
times. Tho grief Of the mother whose
aviator son is in German prison
camp has lost much Of its appeal now
that the prison camps have long been
emptied and the heroes back in solemn
mufti. The report that Wilson is land
ing 900 troops q day In France stirs
US to no depths. Rather. we prefer
to stop and debate the point as to
whether it really was Mr.. Wilson who
was responsible for landing those
troops.
His Need Of Enthusiasm
Ibafez attains full stride when he is
indulging in an orgy-of love, gam
bling, battle, fierce passions. The
normal, everyday aspects Of life he
passes by too jauntily He must be
