RIGHT NOW is THE TIME TO BUILD

"a new house can be built today on
an average of 80 per cent cheaper
than similar one can be bought"
The above statement was made last
week by W. P. Fuller, of St. Peters,
burg, Fla, one of the most prominent
contractors in the state. He states
that lumber quotations are forty per
cent cheaper than it was a few months
ago, and that plumbers, supply men
of all kinds report big reduction in
building costs.
There is a better class of labor
available at this time than there was
during the war, mechanics and labor
ers are anxious ito give service now
that is commensurate with the price
they receive for their labor.
1t is my candid opinion, safes Mr..
RULER, that conditions for building
will favor the builder more in the next
three months than they have during
the past four years, or will for num-
Der of years in the future. When the
north builds the south suffers in ser
vice and prices. The north is not
building now, and the best prices and
materials that the markets afford are
now being offered
Do not wait until mkt summer to
build that house, you will save money
by building now. Construction
throughout the country is sure to be
heavy next summer, and the demand
for materials will force the price up
to higher average than it is at the
present time.

Wholesome Stories
Sentiment and Humor in Anne Douglas
Sedgwicks Latest

CHRISTMAS ROSES. BY Anne Douglas
sedgwick. Published by Houghton Mif-
nin Company.
TT is Anne Douglas Sedgwick's
scheme to draw some likeness be-
= tween the personalities in these
short stories, Christmas Roses (Hough-
ton Miffiin Company, and the grave
or gay, shy or Haunting character of
the denizens of an old-fashioned gar
den. Christmas Roses is the story of
an old woman hardy enough to know
the Towering Of a new affection in her
bleak wintry loneliness. Pansies is
the story of shy and humble little
music teacher, who is obliterated by
her forid and successful friend. Car
nations are represented in the char
acter of charming and adroit older
woman, who brings experience and
wisdom to young writer, restless in
his marriage. Hcpaticas is the story
of a bereavement, and Autumn Gro
cuses that of pain bravely borne.
In that older fashion, whose stability
she so greatly prefers to the reckless
uncertainty of the new, the sentimental
and the moral were not regarded as
New-York tribune., 1921-03-27

literary offenses. They are both pres
ent in wholesome quantities in these
stories. In Christmas Roses a pampered
young wife elopes with a poet, leaving
her forgotten child to be cared for by
her steadfast old greataunt. BY her
abstinence from censure the wise old
woman hastens the inevitable disii-
lusionment, though her success rob.
her of the child. In Carnations the
romantic young author falls in love
with woman older than himself, and
the story pivots on the shrewd appeal
to his chivalry with which she re-
turns him to his wife. HepaGcas tells
how young soldier brought his war
bride, chorus girl, to his mid-Vic-
torian mother. But quite the best Of
the stories in the book is Pansies,
which has no element of either the
sentimental or the moral in it. 1t is
study of contrasting temperamenta of
two middle-aged women, whose diverg-
ing ways still meet at their school
girl friendship, and i. is done with
the insight, the delicacy and the humor
which, at its best, the talent of Anne
Douglas Sedgwick exhibits abundantly.

compensate for the Reformer's habitual
violence and occasional coarseness.
The author is less favorable in his
Judgment of Calvin. Describing his
government in Geneva as q theocracy
based upon espionage, he declares that
"there was never such busybody in a
position Of high authority before nor
since" He also insists that Calvin pos
sessed little originality of thought, al
though he comedies the austere logicality
of the Institutes. He is much more SYM
pathetic with the Calvinists than with
Calvin. He feels that Calvinism made
for the creation of an exalted type of
character, often to be found among the
French Huguenots and the English
Puritans.
Dr.. Smith sums up the various judg-
ments, friendly and unfriendly, which
have been pronounced upon the Refor-
nation. He states his own conclusion in
the last paragraph Of the book:
"In summary, if the Reformation is
judged with historical imagination, it
does not appear to be primarily q reac-
ton. That It should be such is both
a priori improbable and unsupported by
the facts. The Reformation does not
give our answer to the many problems
it was called upon to face; nevertheless,
it gave the solution demanded and ac-
cepted by the time, and therefore his
torically the valid solution. With all
it's limitations, it was, fundamentally, a
step forward and not the return to an
earlier standpoint, either to that Of
primitive Christianity, as the Reform
crs themselves claimed, or to the dark
ages, as has been latterly asserted"
An Eclectic Interpretation
DR.. Smith displays erudition and an
excellent imaginative grasp of his sub
.cct. He is eclectic in his interpreta-
ton Of the movement; he recognizes the
fact that, like all great historical trans
formations, it represents blending and
compound of spiritual and material
forces and motives. He is sympathetic
with the Protestant viewpoint, and oc-
casionally he seems to judge the Re-
formers a trife less harshly than their
adversares On the whole, however, his
work maintains high standard Of fair
ness and impartiality. 1t certainly
meets the most exacting tests of his
torical scholarship

e Of the New Fiction Themes Keep the Reader Guessing


ing the reality of the atmosphere. The
descriptions of the logging scenes and
OF the rough men who do the heavy
work in "a mans country" are evidently
by one who knows. But the women in
the story seem to be automatons, and
when the author comes out Of the big
timber he becomes stilted and so highly
conventionalized that much of the
charm of the story is lost. But Pete
Diamond, the "skin runner" and his
kangaroo dog, and old Solum and his
partner. and Longin. the evil genius Of
the wasteland, are all worth reading
about. Over the whole story hangs the
spell OF vast, new land which has fig
ured little in fiction but which seems
to offer unlimited possibilities.

A Last Diary, by W. N. p. Barbellion,
published by George H. Doran.
In this, the last work of that bril-
liant mind which produced The Jour
raj OF Disappointed Man, appear the
same caustc insight, the same disarm-
ing frankness, the same fundamental
sympathy. But here the mind which
has lived on grim terms with life and
made no compromise with death stands
aside and notes while it may, within
the contracting circle of its horizon,
the little things that fight for place
with great problems while a terrible
creeping death comes ever nearer.
"a self portrait in the nude Bar

barbelllon's identity, about which his
early reviewers waged such a battle. is
disclosed in the present volume by his
brother in long and appreciative but
Insentimental introduction. Bruce
Frederick Cummings, suffering from
disseminated sclcrosis, or creeping
paralysis, watched death approaching
tor more than two years, his physical
lie slowly passing into a steady
atrophy. In his early twenties, despite
great disadvantages, he had become an
assistant in zoology in the British Mu-
scum. His love Of nature and active
life made the horror of the shade all
the more terribly real to him when this
fatal and malignant disease took con-
trol OF his outward life and reduced
him to the necessity of turning inward
still more intensely.
And SO he came to write that re-
markable Journal which some of his
carrier reviewers olaborately identified
as the work of H. G. Wells-confusinr

moonlight nocturne into which it
merges with the MONDAY symphonies

Through the pages of the diary. this
disconnected chronicle of a wear of for

mordant humor which handles his per
sonal problems roughly, and at the same

deviled humanity
At the end of the Journal he had
written in anticipation: "Barbellion
died on December 81" He lived. how
ever, to cut the pages of his published
journal with his own hands and to read
the mixture of shocked amazement and
open praise which greeted his confess
sions-work OF such candor that a pen
name was necessity.

Bradford's HISTORY

TIME recognized final fountainhcad
the source of all history on the
Pilgrims and their settlement at

1913 to 1850. When Senator Hoar re.
marked that it is "the only authentic
history of what we have right to con

action that has ever taken place ON
the face of the earth," he did not over
state fact. AS the years roll on since

archives of Fulham Palace, the scat of
the bishop of London, and its presen-
tation to the United States in JULY.

ten by one who saw and felt the sip-
nlhcance of the migration, becomes
steadily greater.
bradford's history was written in a
form that bordered on the medieval,
This type of prose had charm for the
student, for the scholar who caught it's
rhythm and was absorbed in the atmos-

cult matter for the man out of the
bounds of the proper cloister to read
and catch the glow of the time and its
spirit. 1t has remained for Harold
Paget to render the Bradford History

in modern English. The result is re-
cast IN fresh mold, one that brings
cut IN new and vivid bronze the salient

this book, so timely and SO wholly
worthy, should be placed in the hands
of thousands of men, women and chill

tongues of leadership must be those

The story concerns the conflict be-

Agent, who is trying to teach the noun

the worst of it in this story, though
compensation is promised in the in

Life and a Girl
Clever Satire on Modern
New York

BEAUTY AND MARY BLAIR. BY Ethel
NJ Kelley. Published by Houghton-
. Miffln Company. Boston.
A REFRESHING book, punctuated
~ with subtle satire, is Ethel M.
Kelley's Beauty and Mary Blair,
published by Houghton- -Mifflin Com
pany. 1t is as true in its modernity as
the calendar for the month, as con-
temporary in it's dialogue as chat of
the day uttered from faithful dicta-
phone. The girl, Mary Blair, the racon-
teur, has a father and a mother who
ere toying with hearts outside the
home. Sister Stella and her husband,
Cosgrove, who live in the Blair home,
are bitten by mild attack of Boil
shevsm. Young brother Bobby, in his
way as mentally alert as Mary, is the
kid youngstcr who, like other boys of
the generation, knows more through re-
port than he should
Mary Blair, possessed of q shrewd
mind and a radical tongue, examines
l-fe as she sees it lived around her, and
frees herself of running comment on
men, women and sex that requires no
concordance. 1t will be difficult to find
in modern metropolitan fiction a more
penetrating analysis of one side of
city life, stated in terms of a young
girls brave speech.
One by one varying personalities
come into contact with the girl. Her
own household, in its lesson of dissolu-
ton, gives her an impulse toward aban-
don. Her own cool, native sense, a
blessing to her young ignorance, warns
and saves her. Finally comes Tony
Cowles and the solution of all her
trOuh1es
