A Bored Heroine

IMPRUDTNCg. BY E. e. Mills Young
Published by Doran.
DRUDENCE GRAYNOR faces the fa-
miliar problem, how to escape from
an insufferably dull life as the young
est member of respectable mill own
ing family in small manufacturing
town, an English Gopher Prairie, where
society is confined to elderly ladies
and the curate. She has one exciting
day when she exchanges vows Of eternal
affection with young Steele, who came
on business trip, but he disappears,
leaving life duller than ever.
Finally, to escape family domination,
she accepts Edward Morgan, middle
aged factory owner, but finds that she
has exchanged the frying pan for the
fire, with the prospect of domineer-
ing mother-in-law. She tries to back
out, but family pressure Is too strong,
SO she marries Morgan and settles
dewn to new life as bad as the old
one.
Five years later Steele turns up and
tries to persuade her to run away, but,
although strongly tempted, she refuses.

lished by Houghtou Miffin Company.
RACKlE Is a modern Cinderella. The
prince comes along and rescues her
from poverty and abuse, and overnight
she becomes music hall star in Lon
don. There Is a villain, the manager of

had been apprenticed as a dancer and
whose advances she rejected, and from
whom she ran away. But he has o hold
on her through her pity for crippled
boy in the company, and the prince
understands. However, 1t all comes
right in the end, and Jackie, like good
heroine, gives up her
career to marry the prince and one is
quite sure they lived happily ever
after.

The book is wildly written, keeping
the idea of the title constantly before
US. The atmosphere is sinister; one
feels that there is something wrong
with the city's prosperity, that it is
decadent, built on a foundation of
sand and bound to disappear. Moral
lists and reformers might find an al
legory in the tale to apply to modern
cities.

rnB Pipes OF YEsrERnAY. :

THE Pipes OF YESTERDAY. BY Frsd-
erick a summer and Mary Christian.
York. H'e"
\ L is seldom that story of any ma
ture is effective when composed in
the form of diary or journal, or
spun out through chain of letters be-
tween two people. The chief weakness
IN a narrative of the second mode lies
in the inability of the average author
to differentiate characters in the cor
respondence of the writers of the let
ters. For nothing is more difficult than
making fictional men and women reveal
themselves wholly through their conf
dences intrusted to paper.
In The Pipes Of Yesterday the CO.
authors, Frederick A. Hummer and
Mary Christian, avoid the primary
''anger at the outset, for the man of
this book, Grant Sheldon, is taken care
OF by Mr.. Hummer, and the woman,
Jane Lattimer, by Mary Christian. The
result is series of brief letters, with
the antique triangle of a man and
wife and another woman as the char
acters involved, although the wife is at
first ignored and then shunted off into
oblivion. Back and forth between
Grant and his Jamie" runs the shuttle
of these fervid letters. They have met,
this man and this woman; have found
themselves artistic, which is danger
Gus according to tradition, and they
sre tempted to slap old Dame Conven-
tion in the face. They administer the
slap and run away to Europe, to south
arn France.

The closing pages Of the book. She is
The man has loved, and

microscopic statement In bald, in
eliminating and excusing prose. Miss
Veheyne has painted the man relent-

freedom from compromise that force
US to believe that she aimed to paint,
not moral but a lesson for hybocrites.
Her satire flames In two directions.

ness.
Bulver had but one possible end. He
saw it coming and awaited it with
longing and with wondering as to
the trumpets of it's approach. A flash
from revolver in his study and his
creator writes fnis. That young girl
should have written this really re-
study of the life Of man
of violent whims, inordinate conceit,
and yet Of lovableness that cannot
be gainsaid, is a matter to be filed for
frequent reference.

Real Mystery
1t Is There in Plenty in
Will Payne's Book

oEERL0oK HOUSE,. BY Will payne.
Fuoiished by Dodd, Mead & Co.
TNHIs is mystery story that keeps
4 its secret to the end. In spite of
the fact that the reader knows
perfectly well that the young man who
is suspected by most of the characters
in the story could not possibly. have
committed the crime, he is wholly at
loss to discover the real culprit.
Katy, pretty, feather-headed maid
in the household of Judge Crane, has
disappeared. The judge is large
souled person who can--and does
take an incidental loss Of two and
half~millions without blinking. He has
built him an enormous gray stone castle
on bluff, out of sight and smell of
the arid region from which comes the
black pitchy stuff which flows into pines
and "at far-oR other end comes out
in deluge Of shiny gold"
1t is at Overlook House, which should
have been beyond the reach of such
sordid affairs, that tho crime takes
place. The judges wife is an invalid,
and the efforts TO spare her any knowl-
edge Of the tragedy help to prolong the
mystery. With the exception Of the
judge, and the wife Of the broker who
has stolen the judges millions, it is
difficult to sympathize with the ci1arac-
ters in the story. Every one has his or
her own ak to grind and is oblivious Of
the interests or welfare Of any one
else. The reader is quite willing to
see any Of them convicted Of the crime,
from the doctor who fattens on the
judge to the detectives who would have
no compunction about betraying him.
Indeed, the reader might reasonably be
excused for being disappointed that
only one person will suffer the penalty,
though there is suicide Of another
unloveiy character to mitigate the dis
appointment.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-08

In this country, where the geo
graphical situation fathers the illu-
sion that we can afford to be indif-
ferent to European difficulties, the war
has popularized an external nomencla-
ture like the Balkan question, and
Vimy Ridge and tanks and self-de-
termination and Hohenzollern au-
tocracy; but the real lesson was
hardly tackled, and the little actually
learned is now well-nigh forgotten.
1t is to be hoped that the series
published by Harcourt, Brace & Co.
under the title Handbooks on Interna-
tional Relations, and edited by one of
the foremost English authorities in
the field, G. Loves Dickinson, will
reach substantial number of Amer
leans; for the least that can be said
fer these excellent little volumes is
that they will not fail to leave their
impress even on the most, contro-
versially minded, or, what is much
worse, the Indifferent reader.
The EDITORS foreword is explicit
about the argumentative character of
the series; its object is not merely to
disseminate facts, but "to inculcate
the international rather than the ma
tionalistic way Of regarding them"
The volumes are thus intended TO con-
tribute toward what Mr.. Wells has
called the international mind" Such
q program is apt to arouse the dis
trust and antipathy OF those who con-
ceive Of internationalism as in con-
trast TO love Of nation and country.
The trend Of the present series
IS to prove that the international
Is not the negation, but The
,orollary, Of soundly interpreted pa
triotism. There is nothing original
n that; but the individual contribu-
lion of the volumes consists in the |
sminently clear and forceful manner
n which the argument is presented in |
he specific field surveyed, and in the |
mass Of material knowledge impaired. |
The books are impregnated with the
reliability OF sound scholarship and |
ret distinctly popular" In the best I
'enss Of the term.

TSANNIE HURST is a writer an
IL inated by power the instant
she begins to speak through Shs
mouth Of any one of her char
acters. Speaking for herself she is
often clumsy and stilted. Fine phrases
creep in. The very first page OF Star
Dust discouraged Us nightly, for we
found, "And then suddenly, apropos Of
nothing except the sweet ache OF Lilly's
little soul, the second movement would
freeze itself into proscenium arch Of
music, herself, like stalagmite, its
slim center"
Now, we must confess that this is
not particularly clear to US and still
less convincing. It is all too evidently
hard. painstaking, eelf-conscious writ
Ing. There is quite little like it in
Star Dust, where one may read of "a
pantechnicon procession" "lepidopter-
Gus development" "inhibitions induce
callosities." But suddenly all this un-
easy, hammered writing is forgotten the
instant Miss Hurst comes into touch
with q character. 1t is not only that

everything stilted is done with and Miss
Hurst writes magnificently. The long
words and the clumsy phrases are mere

TIE BURGESS ANIMAL. BOOK FOR

his hand at 1t, with pronounced sue
cess; but his fables were merely n
translation of the foibles and The ad-
mirable qualities Of men through the
actions and the speech of animals en-
dowed with power Of expression
Years later great Frenchman copied
the old Greeks method. Not yet was
the animal book that children had
craved, perhaps unwittingly, in evil
dence.
The nineteenth century. opening
with reprints of Goldsmith's Natural
History and with little books of the
Rollo type, in which dogs and horses,
and other domestic creatures, were
treated in condescending manner,
saw ere its curtain fell the dawn of
tho day Of the correct thing in pictur-
Ing and describing animals for young
boys and girls. No writer has reached.
in sympathetic dramatizatlon in simple
text of the wild life. the habits of ami
mails, the high pane OF Thornton w.
Burgess. Countless children in che
United States. and abroad, we are sure,
have read, with focused attention, his
quaint, happy and instructive stories in
which animals big and small take active
and fascinating parts. His method is
devoid Of an artifice unfair to the
budding intelligence of youngsters, for
it is inspired by truth to Nature
that carries conviction and produces an
atmosphere Of charm
In HIS Animal Book for Children
Burgess ranges over the entire area of
North America. From the bat fitting
over lake in pursuit of fly. to the
massive grizzly of the Rockies, he
visits each and practically every animal
in our long roster Of outdoor fellows
and photographs in a singularly child
like yet maturedly instructive narrative
the haunts and characteristic actions of
the whole wonderful group Of families.

Arthur Train. Published by the Mac.
milan Company.
a s 1T WAS IN THE BEGINNING
n is the romance Of an American
lawyer and the daughter of an
English lord. More than that it is a
contrasting Of American and British
methods Of doing business, and all in
favor of the latter.
Arthur Train is well known writer
of stories dealing with the fine points
OF the law, but in this novel the cease"
is Of secondary Importance. His hero
goes to England to get decision in a.
case which has been hanging fire for
months. He plans to return in a week
which would be ample time in New
York, he figures, to come to q decision
in any case, no matter how involved.
But not even the shock at finding he
has crossed the ocean just to settle a.
legal point Ia sufficient to galyanize the
London barristers into action. Tea
time puts an end to the days work, in
spite Of the Americans protests; holi-
days are sacred, and to invade mans
home for the purpose Of continuing
business discussion simply is not done.
AT hrst furious at such q system, the
American lawyer begins to think there
Is something to be said for it. Instead
OF being "all in'' at the end of the day.
ne finds himself looking forward to an
evening Of recreation, and during the
long week ends he has time to fall in
love with Lady Muriel. When the legal
point is finally decided the American
finds that Lady Muriel is ready to ven
ture overseas with him if he promises
not to SO back to his Squirrel cage"
