All Ages Dangerous" Says
Novelist in Latest Work
Rose Macaulay Deity Sketches Problems and
Trials of Large Family, 20 to 84-

DANGEROUS AGES. by Rose N,

DANGEROUS AGES. by Rose Ma
caulay. (Boni and Liveright)
"All ages are dangerous to all
people in this dangerous life we
live" says an astute gentleman IN
Miss Macaulay's latest novel. and
this may we'll be quoted as a brief
summary Of her theme. By way Of
amplifying IL. she has very cleverly
shown US some of the dangers pc
cuiiar to a series of ages as repre-
scented in one not unusual English
family. Everyone who enjoyed
'Potterism' can imagine Just how
she has done this.
She begins with Neville Bendish,
aged "a, mother Of Kay and Gerda.
aged 20 and 21. but young in ambi-
tions. But besides her. there Is her
mother. Mrs. Hilary. a small-minded.
idle, jealous lady of 63: Mrs. Hilary's
mother. aged 81: Mrs. Hilary's
daughters, Pamela, aged 81, and Nan.
80: her daughter-in-law, Rosalind. In

toned Gerda aged 81. The various
gentlemen of the family figure In

cept In the case of one Barry Bris-
coe, whose age was just dangerous
enough to allow him to be snatched
up by young Gerda after having
started out to be in love with Nan.
The story is exactly as involved as
ell the affairs OF a large family are
bound to be. and Miss Macaulay
shows all her usual insight in her
character drawing. The book has
less plot than "Potterism," but NOR
feeling. and a quieter, less nervous
style, without losing any of the
clear incisiveness of the earlier
book. Its. weakness seems to us to
lie in the obviousness of its theme.
I. is as IL Miss Maeaulay had de-
liberately selected certain ages With

making no definite pattern. or
course, we admit that families are
like that, and that any age has its
dangers. Indeed. IL may be that our
slight dissatisfaction lies not 50
much in this too obvious insistence

EVENING.
There was an evening when

There was an evening when the
sky was clear,
Ineffably translucent in its blue
The tide was falling. and the sea
withdrew
In hushed and happy music from
the sheer
Shadowy granite Of the cliffs; and
fear
OF what life may be. and what
death can do.
Fell from us like steel armor,
and we knew
The beauty Of the Law that holds
us here.
1t was as though we saw the Sc
cret Will,
1t was as though We hoated and
were free:
In the southwest a planet
shone serenely,
And the high moon, most reti-
cent and queenly,
Seeing the earth had darkened and
grown still.
Misted with light the meadows of
the sea.
