The Dial's Prize
Annual Award of $4,000 for
Service to Letters
.HE DIAL announces in its June

THE DIAL announces in its June
\ issue, which has just been pub
lished, that con January, the first
of each year, it will acknowledge the
service to letters of some one of those
who have during the twelvemonth con-
tributed to its pages by the payment
to him of $4,000"
The Dial states the purpose of its ex-
istence and the significance of the
prize in the following paragraph of the
announcement:
"A year and half ago The Dial set
out to give hand to the young writer's
and artists of America. Too many Mary
Gardens and Henry Jameses have to go
abroad for recognition. We found it
high time somebody set up to recog-
nize good work at home. So far, reck-
oning our accomplishment against our
intention, we have accomplished pow
erful little. We have, however, nota-
bly, in the last few months, achieved,
both here and in Europe, considerable
recognition. We have also cut down
that annual deficit which we shall al
ways take care does not eventuate in
what in the present state of affairs we
should deem a ,dishonorable income. 1t
Is thus that we now find ourselves in q
position both to extend our own recog-
milton to another and to give that
recognition some small pecuniary
weight. Among those who realize The
Dial to be intellectually sound there
will be some worth to a man in our
mere Endorsement of his name, and the
$4,000 will pass current even among
those to whom the name of The Dial
is not yet a household word"

THE HOUSE WITH THE GOLDEN WIN

THE HOUSE WITH THE GOLDEN WIN
pOWS. BY j. e. Buckrose. Published
by the George H. Doran Company.
~ OR THE last eight or ten years
" delightful stories of country life
in England have come from the
pen of j, E. Buckrose. 1t is the opin-
ion of the reviewer that this writer
has not touched the high-water mark
of her A Bachelors Comedy, published
in 1913 or 1914, in any of her later
novels. And yet there is always evil
dent in her chapters quiet, resource
full power in delineating people and
countryside, a sort Of placid review
of man and nature singularly charm
ing if not arresting. This simple 'ele-
ment of her style saves her latest
story, The House With the Golden Win
dows, from the brink of the common
place
This novel is the account of the
struggle of "straight" English girl
Milly, of Scotch ancestry, living in
Yorkshire, to do what is right though
the heavens fall. She, with her mother,
who proves to be a parent through
adoption, goes to little village to live
in the great home on hill, the dwell
ing of the golden windows flashing in
the sunlight. They have inherited the
p1operty, and the girls suddenly ac-
quired wealth and position prove the
)Cit for young man of pleasant ap-
pearance, but of a disposition to play
with the hearts of girls and young
women. He wins Milly and then loses
her on the eve of their marriage, when
she learns that she cannot inherit
the estate, the house of the windows.
Of course, there is more in the novel
than We have presented, There is an
other man, a doctor, who loves and
eventually captures Milly; and there
are villagers who serve as a diminu-
tive Greek chorus of comment and crit
icism. All in all, sensible story about
ordinary folks, told in prose of sin
cere simplicity, with here and there
deft little pictures of human love and
suffering, A novel easy to criticize,
but not at all easy to write.

historic prerogative Of the nobility OF
France.
The young mans daring in speech
forces him to refuge in fight, for he is
>outlawed, and results in mis- joining
travelling theatrical company. And
here Sabatini gives us something. really
new in fction--at least 70 cur knowl-
edge of the period handled careful,
scholarly survey Of the French theat-
rical school of dramatic improvisation,
on its last legs in 1890. Andre-Louis
having read legions of pages of Chenier
and Beaumarchais, Aristophanes and
Plautus, not to mention score Of other
French and classical dramatists, sue
ceeds in evolving new form Of play
a cross between the tickle, unstable
thing of spontaneous improvisation
before an audience and thing Of for
tunate spontaneity vertebrated with
a spine of logical, memorized anecdote
and banter. AT once ne becomes famous.
This volatile and versatile hero is a
man searched for. His daring utter
aroused the ire of the gentry of Brit
tany, especially of La Tour d'Azyr, who
has punctured his friend with sword.
And so, when Andre-Louis sees D'Azyr
in box at the theater at Feydau and,
publicly, while improvising in his own
play, lashes out at the nobility and at
d'Ayzr in particular, there is an imme-
diate uproar, with riot and Andre
Louis in flight.
So far we have had our hero in the
gown of lawyer and the mask of Scara-
mouche the buffoon. Now for the sword.
Destitute, he goes to Paris to become
assistant to master of fence, to make
himself superior to his teacher, g
wizard with the sword, the inventor
and exponent of new thrusts and par
ries. He is elected to the Assembly.
The mobiles, fearing the turbulent body
of the people represented in the AS
sembly, adopt a shrewd method of
elimination, that of challenge TO duel
and death at the point of the sword.
To tell more would be to cut the cake
and reveal its richness. We assure you
that this novel Of France and Of Paris
in the years that witnessed the trem-
bling Of the curtain before its rising on
the tragedy of 1898 is worthy of being
received as a comrade by the accepted
great stories of the period 1t has a
plot hued with unusual color, gives a
suggestion of background not yet seen
in any other story of the epoch, leads
in steady, purposefuI tread to the
streets of Paris afame with battle and
to swift sketches of the gesticulations
and mouthings of Desmoulins, Danton
and Robespierre. AS prologue to any
one of the authoritative works of fc-
ton on the French Revolution, it easily
wins position and retains it. What is
more, it is story that holds one in his
chair, gives flip of excitement in each
chapter and ends in a manner wholly
unexpected and dramatic

pABINDRANATH TAGORE has a
definite philosophic attitude to-
ward life that unifes the scattered and
varied ideas which are included in this
volume He believes in a world of
spirit that transcends the world of
matter, in a God who is immanent
everywhere, in the inherent invincibil-
ity of the human soul against all physi-
cal accidents and misfortunes.
1t is this creed of courage and faith,
tempered and softened by humility
and quietism, and expressed with
notable poetic beauty, that the Hindu
philosopher voices in Thought Relics.
He employs a metaphor to reinforce
his argument that mans strength or
weakness is to be found within him. In

so much by the waves without as by
the water which may leak into the ship
through crevices. Just so the human
soul is equal to any tate, provided only
that it preserve faith in itself.
Some of Tagore's noblest essays deal
with the subject of tolerance. He is
not willing to let his conception of re
ligion be cramped by a set of narrow
theological formulas. He pleads ear

llshed by Houghton- -Mifflin Company.
TNHE French Revolution has been
field opulent in suggestions
for plots for novelists who
elect TO give their stories at
mospheres of historical reality. Into
that brief period of seethe and ferment
were poured all the ingredients of
human good and ILL., and one has but
to dip from the kettle ladleful of
broth to find food that stimulates fancy
and brews strange pictures even of a
fading past. 1t is permissible to claim,
without fear of censure, that the France
of the years from 1890 to 1900 has
given more rich material to the novelist
who always has an eye on history than
any other decade in modern life. Dumas,
Felix Cras, Victor Hugo, Balzac, to
mention major quartet, and lesser
novelists of the Baroness Orczv type,
have drawn inspiration from the dra-
matte and terrific years of the Terror
and the advent of Napoleon.
Rafael Sabatini introduced himself
to US three or four years ago in the
pages of his unusual stories of the Eu-
rope of the fifteenth and sixteenth cen
turies. We found his method, that of
approaching history from new angles
and coming back with romantic Incl
dents to be incorporated in his novels,
g refreshingly happy one, productive of
themes in fresh mode. His The Snare,
2 remarkable novel Of the days Of Well
ingtons campaigns in Spain and Por-
tLgal, has no superior in it's corner of
Napoleonic fiction. In his story of this
year, Scaramouche, Sabatini gets into
the heart of the days of prelude to the
French Revolution through postern
gate at the end of circuitous trail
over land hitherto untrodden in fiction.
The hero of this increasingly sur
prising novel is one Andre-Louis, a
lad with a parentage cloaked in mys-
terry. Nurtured in the shelter of
house with aristocratic connections. the
boy studies law. The blot on his little
scutcheon is blurry enough to make
him emigre-to cause him to find
natural comrades among men of lowly
birth and homely views and aspirations.
The France of the common people, suf-
fering from heavy taxes, watching with
envy and suppressed desire for some
thing not yet defined, the parade of
kings and mobiles, is at the cross
roads. Andre-Louis, cool, inquisitive in
his quest of facts and means of adjust
ment, becomes mentally one with those
who itch for an overturn in govern
ment, yet is held in physical restraint
by the insoluble element in his blood
that of his ancestry. When his best
friend is slain by the Marquis de la
Tour d'Azyr in a duel of swords Andre
Louis at once becomes an ardent and
fearless advocate on the platform of
the rights of the people as against the
