Miss Irwin's Tale

"LORENCE IRWIN'S "Poor Dear
Theodore" (Putnam), is one of
those things in which beautiful,
we'll born, but poor young creature
leaves her humble country home to make
living in the wide, wide world 1t
takes Miss Irwin 402 pages to tell how
Theodore Winthrop became engaged to
one millionaire Of unstable morals only
to break off the projected alliance and
finally to become the wife of another
young man, equally wealthy, who was
not only virtuous, but enormously re-
ported killed in action as we'll. It's all
quite as obvious as Miss Twins char
acters, but it may interest those who
like apparent "inside" chatter about
society folk, Of whom there are several
families in the book.
The snobbishness Of "Poor Dear Theo-
dora" is naive but omnipresent. We
hear constantly that Theodorn's family
is as good as Mrs. Stuyvesant's-need
we say that the latter is social leader !?
and that blood will tell. The scutch-
confess participants in the tale are
limned as i'll hammered, freakish or

that patriotic Frenchman or English
man has some ground for complaint
Here, as always, however, the author
far overshoots his mark. He makes no
allowance for the centuries of hostility
and suspicion which had to be over
come before an Irishman could bring
himself to fight heartily in England's
cause. lie pays q very scanty and in
adequate tribute to Mr.. John Red
mond's truly heroic efforts to bring
his countrymen to support the Allied
cause. He even gloats over the cruel
and impoltic wholesale executions or
dered by General Maxwell after the
Easter uprising, executions which did
more than anything else to alenatc
the Irish people from Eneland's war.
NJ. Escoutlaire displays the total lack
of logic that is characteristic of per
sons obsessed with prejudice. He sees
no Inconsistency between praising Car
son as hero for taking up arms

fessed to respect and damning Pearse

He pleads eloquently for self -detcrmi-
nation when he discusses listers rela-
ton to ireland, but he denounces the
principle altogether as invoked in be-
half Of Ireland against England. De-
spite his voluble rhetoric, he does not
prove that Ireland was an enemy Of
the Allies. His work however, is GER
tainly not calculated to inspire much
posthumous enthusiasm for the Allied

fact that to our mind the type is no.
interesting. After all, the reviewer
who has been through several seasons
OF tales about sub-debs cannot viev
with anything but horror the prospect
OF being treated to exhaustive studies
OF her brother and first cousins.
In making himself responsible for
the descriptions Of college pranks and
larks the author has undertaken q task
OF enormous difficulty. Things done
IN a spirit Of alcoholic exuberation
must OF necessity sound fiat and un-
profitable to the mature and cold, sober
reader. When Fitzgerald writes, "The
donor of the party having remained
sober, Kerry and Amory accidentally
dropped him down two fights Of stairs,
and. called, shamefaced. and penitent,
at the inirmary all the following week"
he does scant justice to Kerry and
Amory. After all, in the mood and at
the moment it can hardly have seemed
such a silly trick as 1t must appear
to the reader in Fitzgeralds laeonic
statement.
The thing that puzzled US most was
the authors description Of the violent
effect Of the sex urge upon some of his
young folk. On page 122. for instance,
chorus girl named Aka laid her
blond head on Amoyy's shoulder and
the youth Immediately rushed away in

Authorizations for forty-eight hours.
The explanation was hidden from 10.
1t did not sound altogether character
istic Of Princeton.
There are occasional thrusts Of
shrewd observation and few we'll
turned sentences and phrases in "This
Side of. Paradise" It Is only fair to
add that the book has received enthusi-
astic praise from most American re-
viewers. Fitzgerald has been hailed
ae among the most promising Of our
own authors. And it may be so, but
we dissent. We think he will 60 no
grcut distance until he has grown much
simpler in expression. It seems to US
that his is q style larded with fine writ
ing. When we read, at was like weak
ness in a good woman, or blood on

tel, the money lender.
The latter appeared, a little old
man, shabby aHds tricky looking,
dressed in a greasy and shiny coat.
Pere Souris offered to sell him one
of the rabbits. Tempted by what
looked like a bargain price, the
money lender made the purchase,
after securing a slight reduction.
M. Fricotel had had charge Of
Pere Souris's affairs years before,
when the latter was mettlesome
young man, impatient to enjoy life.
without awaiting the heritage Of
an uncle who persisted in prolonging
an avaricious and acrimonious old
age. The usurer, lying in wait be-
hind the forms Of the law, like
spider in his web, had shamefully
abused the confidence of a foolish
youth.
Then Pere Souris took his second
rabbit to the house of a certain law
yer, NJ. Fricotel's accomplice, who
had also despoiled him with Machia-
vellian astuteness.
He mounted his bicycle again and
rode three or four leagues farther
to the house of Don Juan who
had done him an even greater injury
than the first two, robbing him Of
the love Of woman who had lust
begun to reawaken his faith and in
terest in life.
He returned home a second time
with the satisfaction Of duty ac-
complished.
But none Of the three lovers of
rabbit stew died or was even indis-
posed. And Pere Sour.s, more than
ever, was confirmed in his misan-
thropy, and abused science, which
had played him triple joke.

Nancy Hanks, in "The Matrix,v is a

nv YE HAVE just read F. Scott
vA Fitzgerald's "This Side Of
wv Paradise" (Scribner's) and
it makes us feel very old.
According to the announcement of his
publishers Mr.. Fitzgerald is only
twenty-three, but there were times
during our progress through the book
when we suspected that this was an
oyerstatement. Daisy Ashford is hard
iv more naive. There is certain con-
fusion arising from the fact that in
spite Of the generally callow quality Of
the authors point Of view he is intent
on putting himself over as a cynical
and searching philosopher. The re-
sulting strain is sometimes terrific.
OF course, Mr.. Fitzgerald is nearer to
college memories than we are and,
moreover we have no intimate knowl-
edge OF Princeton, and yet we remain
unconvinced as to the authenticity of
the atmosphere which he creates. It
seems TO US inconceivable that the atti-
luQe tUoGtU +s4c vi d IlNCelCn UnQeT-
graduate, even a freshman, should be
so curiously similar to that Of sopho-

believe that young Mr.. Fitzgerald is not
pulling our leg Then, too, in spite Of
the bleak and jaded way in which the
author sums up the content of college
life, it is evident that he is by no
means unimpressed with the sprightli-
ness Of conduct and conversation
which he assigns to his undergraduate
characters, though it is silly conver-
sation and sillier conduct.

natives Of Perleuse was that Pere
Souris, in spite of his patched
clothes and his big hob-nailed shoes,
always had white hands and that he
never asked anybody any questions.
He spent his time fishing, digging In
his garden, looking after his chick
ems, his rabbits and his goat, and
roaming the country either on foot
or on his bicycle. Sometimes they
saw him lying at the foot of a tree,
reading. One day the veterinary
found him asleep, book beside him.

dropper picked up the volume. 1t
was not an anarchist handbook or
treatise on alchemy. 1t was the
Miscellaneous Works" of the wise
and witty Saint Evremond. That
was all that was needed to persuade
the whole commune that Pere Souris
was an unfrocked priest.
That he dressed like vagabond
but at the same time brushed his
teeth and kept his fingernails clean
was source of mystihcation to the
village. Besides, he never entered
a drinking place. never expressed
an opinion on politics, never voted j.,
never let anybody cross his door
sill and never discussed his personal
affairs with the butcher or the
baker.
One morning he was walking,
