folklore and it is a dreadful shock
to him to discover as he grows
older the prejudice against ma
tiyes" which abides in the Anglo
Saxon heart. At almost nine he
fights a boy of ten who mistakes
his mother for an "ayah" and in
sinuates that she is not all she
might be, At school he joins an
older boy in protecting a low caste
Indian boy. At Oxford-for so far
the whole story takes place in Eng
land-among his best friends are
his cousins, Dyan Singh and Arma.
And SO 1t is no surprise that when
he leaves college his chief desire
Is to 90 to India. He goes, but not
before promising his mother that
he will never marry a native"
This mother is highly idealized
through the whole book, SO much SO
that she becomes almost an obses-
sion with the author as well as
with Roy. But to balance this senti-
mental touch there are thoroughly
practical and realistic passage on
Anglo-Indian relations, the disturb
ances in Lahore in 1919, and the So
cial life of the British in the East.
Altogether the box is well worth
reading for the clear light is
throws on Anglo-Indian complica-
tons, as we'll as for the adventures,
loves and battles 1t describes.

Suppressed Tendencies

HGOLD SHOD,n by Newton Fuessl'

HGoLD sHOD," by Newton Fuessle
(Boni & Liveright)
The publishers remarks on the
jacket of this volume say that 1t
sheds explaining light upon the
bewildering enigmas OF many OF
our foremost men OF affairs" The
Implication is that many OF these
men of affairs" have a suppressed
artistic bent which they cannot at
ford to recognize in their pursuit
of wealth, and that when they be-
come entangled in affairs Of the
heart 1t is because their wives have
failed to see their artistic leanings
and kept their noses too close to
the money making grindstone. And
there Is no doubt that there Is h
great deal in what Mr.. Fuessle says.
Fielding Glinden, his hero, was
fascinated by music and by writing,
but first his mother and then his
wife had ambitions for him, and 50
he turned out to be a captain Of in,
dustry. He begins to make money
in Detroit, but he ends In. New
York, and in New York the worm
turns; he hunts out a quiet Green
witch Village apartment and tries
to write while his wife frets ana
fumes on East Sixtieth street. His
friend, the "Blasphemer," speaks
true words, however. Either youth
be a good business man." he says,
and a vile artist, or you'll be a
decent artist and a rotten man of
affairs" Fielding has his troubles,
and not the least of them are con-
nected with women. It Is obvious
that Mr. Fuessle believes that most
marriages are made elsewhere than
In heaven, and he seems to imply
that successful business men marry
with an eye to business and later
enjoy love. as Il were, on the side.

"LOoKING AT PICTURES" by s. C.
Kaines Smith George H Doran

COOKING AT PICTURES by s. C.
Kaines Smith George H. Doran
Coz
This little book" says the pre-
face, Els an attempt to lift from the
minds of people who like pictures
in theory and who want to enjoy
them in practice. the burdensome
superstition that to enjoy pictures
1t is necessary to be a Judge OF
painting" 1t is written BY an Eng
lishman primarily for the English
and refers to pictures In the Ma
tional Gallery, Italy, and the
Louvre, but is universal enough TO
be Of use to anyone who wants
honestly to know what painting
and schools are all about Its
chief weakness lies in the fact that
in emphasizing Renaissance and
English Eighteenth Century art 1t
does not, except indirectly, explain
most OF our modern tendencies
which are, after all, what the
greatest number Of people find
pulling. The author is evidently
very much of a classicist in art
and can find little to say OF even
the pre-Raphaelites or Manet and
the rest of the Impressionists. He
merely remarks that "Of the men
Of 1860 and their followers, 1 have
no space or need to speak," and
finishes them up in a scant page
and a half. But there Is plenty
about Renaissance and early Italian
painters and enough in the book to
give the ordinary citizen food for
thought the next time he enters q
gallery.

that 1 detested every character In
It and every phase OF life repre-
scented. To my mind such people
don't matter; they are merely in the
world to serve as a base for the
higher civilization, which is all that
matters-and that on sound auth
ropological grounds; 1 am not CIV
ing vent to any silly prejudice. But
all that does not interfere with my
ability to recognize the artistic
value of the book, which seems to
me of a very high order. 1t Is so
well composed, so direct, so free
from unnecessary lines, In spite
of it's length, and SO indisputably
true to life. 1t is a tragic arraign-
ment of the marriage question, and
far more effective than IL the scene
were laid in the higher walks or
civilization, for although the upper
classes find marriage quite as great
a problem and as often go on the
rocks, they have a Thousand COM
pensations."
IONA Gale, whose Miss Lulu
Bett" is to our mind a greater book

power-that 1t succeeds in present
ing its characters without either
illusion or disillusion on the part
of the author. It has other great
powers. 1t handles its human be-
ings-and they are human-with
that directhess and honesty which,
more than any one quality. the
American novel has lacked. with
a sustained story. interest It is
lacking in humor and in distinction
of style and in beauty. but IL , is
honest work conceived and carried
of in large way, with superb dis
dain for tricky effect and with a
fidelity to Its characters which is
not so much the artist creating as
the scientific spirit observing. -.
Brass whose validity lies where
it ought to lie-in the unconscious.
For so true are Mr.. Norris situa-
lions, so honest his characterize
tions, so daring and wise his choice
of detail, that he offers a theme far
stronger than the one which pre-
sumably he intended to present"

'STHE MARRIAGE OF SUSAN by
Helen B. Martin Doubleday
Page & Coz
Mrs. Martin has apparently taken
most seriously the advice which is
always given to the aspiring young
author and has followed 1t con-
scientiously in the six or seven
novels she has written. She has
written of people and places and
beliefs of which she has first hand
knowledge. Being observant and
having the capacity for selecting
the most characteristic and reveal
ing things she has observed have
enabled Mrs. Martin to give US the
most Intelligent picture Of one of
those hardy racial and religious
groups which have been able to
resist Wholesale assimilation. In the
series of novels beginning with
Title, a Mennonite Maid" Mrs
Martin has reproduced the life in
Pennsylvania Dutch communities
with fidelity and insight. Her new
novel, like its predecessors, has the
background OF a Mennonite COM
munity and contains some good
characterizations. The plot, how
ever, is disappointing. Susan is be-
trayed by the rich and brilliant
young man with whom she falls in
love and Is forced to marry his
loutism step-brother. She is made
to believe that her baby was born
dead while in reality he was being
brought up by the betrayer who
hopes to secure an inheritance.
Susan leads a most unhappy life ana
unfortunately does not win the
sympathy of the reader. In the end,
OF course, the undesirable husband
dies leaving a fortune and the
truth about the child is revealed.
The story is not up to the standard
Mrs. Martin has established.
