Missy Is Story Of Girlhood
Dana Gatlin's Heroine a Sort of Seventeen in
Skirts

MISSY. BY Dana GatNn. Published by
Doubleday. Page & Go.
q OMETHING similar to the emotions
~ called forth in the masculine heart
upon reading Seventeen Will be
experienced by most feminine readers
of Missy, By Dana Catlin. This Missy
is the little girl many Of us have seen.
Her background is the average small
town in the Middle West, delightfully."-
real through Miss Catlin's eyes. There
IS something familiar in her home life,
even in her relatives. The routine Of
their lives. the big events, the good
times, and even the differences which
may result in seedlings or mildcr re
proof, are the common experience Of
persons born and brought up in the
atmosphere of the healthy type Of
American small towns.
Missy is "difcrent," just as so many
growing girls imagine themselves to be.
This young lady, however, lacks the
self-consciousncss and Alteration which
many little girls assume for a time.
She really seems to be different, moro
imaginative and retrospective than
some Of her companions. These quail
ties are built on d normal base Of good
spirits and sanity. She has none Of the
exotic qualities of the child genius.
Missy is healthy and full OF life and
an all-rOuMl lttle girl WITH A some.

thing that makes her particularly swcc.
and appealing.
her reactions to religion are the
theme Of the first story in the book of
Missy. The repentance of the young
lady for being a "spy-eye' results i.
public confession at q revival meeting,
which, though relieving to the youthful
sinners soul, is somewhat disastrous
20 those she has wronged.
In later chronicles Missy takes up 70
nance and succeeds very we'll as q
matchmaker. She goes through the
Phase of being a "helpful influence" in
The lie Of d youth of her acquaintance,
who is naturally very handsome. Her
father is one Of the most sympathetic
persons in ler young life.
As Missy grows up she discovers
that, although not beautiful like some
Of her fufher friends, she has eyes"
Her ambition to express herself some
way in poetry or music is shunted
aside in a perfectly normal way when
the opportunity for good times and the
admiration Of young men interfere
with genius.
Miss Gatlin's accounts of incidents
in the life of Missy are pretty evenly
interesting and we'll done. The princi-
Ial' though by no means the only,
strong point in the stories is that the
people, and particularly the little hero

ULYSSES g. GRANT: HIS LIFE AND
T r"h,.Nad 1R rbd BY ad msmlln C Garlsnd-
" HE rugged, austere figure Of
Ulysses S. Grant is humanized
for US in this new edition Of
Hamlin Garland's excellent biography.
The author states the purpose and
achievement Of his work quite ade-
quately in his introduction:
This book is not to be taken as q
military history OF General Grant. 1t
is not, perhaps, everything that is un-
derstood by the word Biography but
it tells the story of Ulysses Grant
from his birth to his death. 1t is an
attempt at characterization. 1t has
not been my intention to set down all
the significant words and deeds Of
General Grant, nor to a~nalyze all the
official acts of President Grant, but TO
present the man Grant as he stands
to-day before unbiased critics. If I
succeed in making the reader a little
better acquainted with his great and
singular character ! shall feel that my
larger purpose has been carried out"
SO the author gives US not an eX-
haustive political and military record
Of Grants career, but rather q series
of intimate sketches of Grants per
sonality as it is revealed in the many
episodes Of his active life. Like Lin
coin, Grant was & product OF the
frontier. He was born in a cabin in
Il little Ohio village. The author
shows Grant a typical country boy,
driving a team when he was only eight
years old, entering West Point and eX-
p%eriencing the rough discipline that
falls to the lot Of the plebe, serving
in the Mexican War, oscillating aim
lessly between various civilian pur-
suits.
Then comes the picture of the years
OF glory, OF the mighty var in which
Grant proved the final architect Of
victory. The military hero becomes
President; his later years are clouded
By the unfortunate bankruptcy which
came as 2 result of his own mex
~periencc and the knuvary Of some Of
his friends. but they are ennobled by
the unconquerable will and the heroic
resignation which he displayed in the
midst OF suffering and sorrow.
Mr.. Garland is no blind hero wor-
shipper; he frankly admits that Grant
made serious mistakes in the preSi-
dency b. appointing corrupt and IN
competent men to responsible posts
and clinging to them even in the face
Of decisive evidence as to their I'M
fitness. But be justly contends that
most Of the accusations hurled against
Grant BY his political opponents we're
either false or grossly exaggerated.
The comparison Frequently drawn be
tween Grant and Julius Cesar was
certainly ridiculously unjust to both
men. Aud very few Will dispute the
authors assertion that Grants place
in American history is beside Lincoln
and Washington. among those who, in
the fine French phrase. have deserved
we'll OF the Republic.'
