Kathleen Norris presents another
drama of the home. o closeup of family
life, with the domestic and marital
cntanglements characteristic of her
popular books, in "The Beloved
Woman" Doubleday, Page & CoD.
The novel will find wide favor among
the thousands who wait impatiCntly for
''the latest by Mrs. Norris" even
though they will search in vain for the
heroine to which they are accustomed,
that woman of warm human sympathy
and generous impulse and lofty ideals
they have learned to expect in books
by this author.
The heroine, if such she might be
called, in '"The Beloved Woman" is
bright young thing named Norma
who, when the book opens, is a clerk

Rex Beach A-hunting

There are hunting books Of various
kinds, but the kind that Rex Beach
has written in "Oh. Shoot" Harper
& Brothcrs) is altogether too rare.
He calls 1t the confessions Of an agi-
tatcd sportsman and he has made
hia confessions in such n way that
they ought to amuSr every hunter. Liv-
ing in the wilds has its disadvantages.
None Of these is ignored by Mr.. Beach.
He describes his experiences with a
humorous faithfulness which will recall
to the man who hunts HIS own OK
perirnccs. The book will discourage no
invcteratc sportsman. for he goes after
deer or bear or ducks because he likes
to and because the hardshipS that he
cndurcs are part of the game. lie
cant describe them as well as they
have been described by Mr.. Beach. but
when he gets back home he can laugh
over them.

Johnson on Rich Young Men

Owen Johnson has been sobcred by
the war. and he has been doing some
thinking about America and the for
tunatc young men of America which
he has put in the form Of novel that
he calls "The Wasted Generation"
Gittle, Brown & co... The book pur-
ports to be the journal Of David Lit
tledalc, of Littledalc, Conn, the son of
a Judge and the kinsman Of other dis
tinguished citizens. 1t is an exhibition
of the. failure of the sons Of the family
to rise to their opportunities and to
their duties to assume some RESPONSE
bilty for the conduct of public affairs.
That is an exhibition of the wasted
generation.
Mr.. Johnson makes one Of his char
acters remark that society is like nm
iceberg, the GREATER part of which is
submerged. When the top breaks away
or dlSintcgratCs part of that which Is
submerged rises to the surface. In
America he says the men who ought to
be actively engaged in governing the
country are slowly dlsintcgratlng, and
those not so well fitted are coming to
the surface. Pages are filled with dis
cussion of this condition. And other
pages are filled with study Of the
difference between French family life
HnU lH1nlly lllc III AlH'Tltu. nc l.il-
tlcfields, for example, are not Il united
family. The mother is occupied with
various public benefCCnces and is not in
touch with her sons. Part Of the FAM
fly goes to the Episcopal church, an
other to the Congregn tionalist and a
third to the Presbyterian.
David. the hero. went TO Paris to
study architecture but he amused him
self with society until the war began,
when he enlisted in the Foreign Legion.
Another brother went to the dogs in
Paris and two others were killed in
the war. David and his sister alone
survive.
The women In tho book nrc different
from those which Mr.. Johnson has
usually described. One Is a French
woman Of easy virtue, who marrics a
brother of David after David had bro
ken with her. Another is n French
noblcwoman who has suffered at the
brutal hands of the Germans and a
third is the daughter of an American
banker. The noblewOman and the
American girl display those qualities of
womanhoOd which have always com
mnnded the admiration and devotion Of
decent men. David loves both of them
In different ways. He cannot marry
the FrrnchwOman, md when tho book
ends the reader is left to assume that
he will become the husband of tn"
American, who knows and sympathizcs
with his hopeless love for the other
The book is more than n story. 1t is
serious study of social conditions de-
serving the attention of tho thoughtful.

creature. jealous Of tho friendship be-
tween her daughter and her mother, and
seeking consolation through tho advice
Of a psychoanalyst, who tells her that
"nl ages are dangerous TO all people
in this dangerous age We live"
Miss MaCaulay writes with a light
ness of touch and surcncss of purpose
which are delightful. She has n way
of characterization that at times Is
startling By its audncity. Thus she
says of Mrs. Hilary, the woman jealous
Of her mother, that she was one of those
mothers who apply the Mugnifcat to
their own cases. She always felt n
bond of human sympathy between her
self and the lady called the Virgin Mary,
whom she thought over estimated.
