WHERE THE BLUE BEGINS. By Chris
topher Morley. Doubleday. Page & Co.
- might have been a good idea to keep keep
this book anonymous for two or three
editions. 1t would have made pleas
ant little mystery. few Morley fans" would
have guessed. and the books chances of
reaching the right readers promptly and
missing the wrong ones would be better
by quite a segment Of the difference be-
tween obscurity and Mr.. Morley's present
following. For the right readers and that
following by no means coextend. Inevit-
ably, If not altogether justly, he has come
to be known by his works for an unfiag
ging geniality, comfortable hearth rug
contentment mince pie saturation with
essences of Old England and the property
of making a reader feel at home in very
literary company without much tax on his
powers of appreciation. And those quail
tiles appeal to some people who will hardly
know what Where the Blue Begins is all
about and to some who will know but may
be rather hurt by parts of it. while its own
surprisingly different qualities should de-
light many other people who don't coo, as
the booksellers have been said to do, at
the mention of the authors name. From
their point of view. which the reviewer
shares. this is his first book.
1t is a fanciful tale of world like ours.
especially of a New York like ours, whose
personse are dogs Some of it is only story
telling and foolery-skilflul story telling and
delicious foolery-but good deal is allegor-
ical and carts are both ambitiously and sue
cessfully satirical. There is quiet. accurate
laughter at the froth of buncombe on Big
Business in merchandising and the related
social vanities and there is temperate but
sincere raillery at the giving of gilded
ritual to a soul that asks for God. To
have done that we'll In any medium would
have been a creditable feat to have done
it in terms of dogs, with good taste that
must disarm any but the most indurated
of conservative readers is a tour de force;
and to have done il with inspired clever
ness and craftsmanship is to have pro-
duced something measurably near work
of art-a charming book, Of a kind in
which American literature has always been
poor Where the Blue Begins" is far
more poetic than Mr.. Morley's best poetry.

Three Good Narcissus
For Effective Massing

While some of the narcissus tribe
are not very permanent visitors in
our gardens, there are three that will
take possession and last for a genera
ton or more. These are the poets
narcissus, narcissus poeticus, Barri
conspicuous, and Leedsii, Mrs. Lang
try. The poets narcissus is the ia
miliar fragrant, pure white, with a
little cup trimmed with red that is
often wrongly called a jonquil. Barri
conspicuous is pale yellow with a
cup resembling the poets narcissus
and generally giving a little larger
bloom, and Mrs. Langtry has both
peals and cup of white, the latter
prettily crimped. Mrs. Langtry is
particularly useful in light sandy
soils.
These are cheaper grades of mar
cissus and may be planted by the
hundred with certainty that great
handfuls of beautiful snowy blooms
may be cut in early spring.
