The South Sea Man Again
By GEORGE S. CHAPPELL.

In this new volume Frederick OBrien
is distinctly his likable self. AS literature
it seems to me his best. Perhaps nothing
will ever equal the furore caused by the
white Shadows" but it must be remem-
bered that that was our first real taste

me almost to tears. The traveller so sell

OBrien We have that amazing combination
of a world wanderer who is at once vaga-
bond. poet and accomplished literary gen.
tleman.
His route through the atolls takes us to
the fascinating southern group, the Pau
motu or Dangerous Isles; those tiny
circlets of coral and palm which are
planted in every schoolboy's mind during
his first ventures in geography. Through
the mouths of several graphically figured
acquaintances we hear the strange stories
of Pitcairn and Easter islands, those far
away mysteries which it is given to SO
few eyes to see the mention of which in
variably causes a stay -at-home's heart to
swell with desire to get out there. some

author swings back eventually to his be-

No doubt they did not all happen in Sc
quence exactly as narrated The author
says as much in an exquisitely written
foreword which cannot be bettered.
"'Atolls Of the Sum is a book of expert
ences, impressions and dreams in the
strange and lonely islands of the South

quential. though everything in II fs the
result of my wanderings In the far and
mysterious recesses of the Pacific Ocean"
Frederick O'Brien understands that a
book of travel 10 be read must attract by
virtue of things actually happening in the
book. There must be something doing. He
does not stint his measure of wonders, fill
ing each chapter generously with hair
breadth escapes from shattering reef and

sense. For this O'Brien is more than dull
recorder of facts; he is an artist with an
imagination and in this latest book he adds
another to his amazingly vital pictures OF
the South Seas.

ATOLLS OF THE SUN. BY Frederick
OBrien. The Century Company.
= OVERS of sunshine the world over
viii bask in the radiance of Fred
eriek O'Brien's recent book, which
completes delightful trilogy with his
previous White Shadows" and Mystic
Isles" Every author, I think. expresses
throughout his work some certain quality
which is the dominant one. There will be
many qualities. to be sure, but some single
one will run like a thread through the 9TH
ers. In the case of Frederick O'Brien,
can only think of this quality as literary
sunlight, clear, sparkling attitude of
mind. which is never clouded by moral mis-
givings or mental vapors.
I picture him the kindliest and best
of fellow travellers, companion who takes
life gayly, with a deep reverence for its
beauties. an exceeding love for his fellow
creatures. and a fig for pretensions. There
shining between the lines of this engaging
writer, but never the slightest trace of ILL
nature or consciousness.
The reader of this review may ask. But
what has all this to do with a book of
travel?" Well, it seems to me that book
of travel is the next best thing to travel
itself. For many it is the only possible
substitute. And the author becomes actu-
ally ones companion in that close COM
panionship of the imagination. 1t is the
personal element the character of the
author. which makes a book-or a trip. for
I can only think of it as such-merely in
teresting or endows it with the plus quality
of actual affection for the man who wrote
it. the pleasant feeling which comes over

Where Woman Is Inferior.

THE conclusion seems to be that the
i inferiority of woman's position in
the kingdom of poetry cannot be attrib-
uted to the circumstances of age long
subordination, out of which she has but
recently emerged. These conditions might
have hampered the free development of
women in the poetic as in other spheres, but

The World of Letters AS Others See It

it is unreasonable to suppose that genius
itself could have been so totally quenched
by any external circumstances. AS in the
case of Burns or Keats, the genius of the
poet springs up with a will to live that
the most untoward surroundings are
powerless to deny. 1t will find adequate
means of expression for the feeling that
reacts from its contact with an alien
world, and for the thoughts within, which
are born in music We must, therefore,
hand on the problem to the psychologists,
for so far as the past is concerned there
is something in the normal constitution
of women, either lack of poetic sensi-
bility itself or an incapacity to express
adequately what is felt, or perhaps an in
stinctive aversion from self-expression,
which can alone account for the fact that
woman, equal to man in many ways and
superior in some, is so markedly his in
ferior in poetry. From ''On Women
Poets" in the Contemporary Reuieio
Examine the Check.
WRITERS inexperienced in the busi-
w ness side of their work frequently
are so elated at receiving a magazine pub
lisher's check that they hardly look at
1T further than to note the amount for
which it is drawn. With a glow of pride
they indorse the glamorous instrument,
and they are by so much richer than they
were before "The Dial" in 1917 with
much vigor pointed out to the unsophis-
ticated writer the advisability of his
scrutinizing the fine print which may be
on his check, just above the place for his
signature. He cannot indorse the check
without signing what is there presented
as an agreement. Later he may have an
opportunity profitably to dispose of the
book rights. foreign rights. translation
rights, dramatic rights, or film right to
the work for which, it may be, he has
received from the magazine a pittance.
The editor produces the Cancelled check
and shows him that he has disposed of
all rights. Rex Beach one time wrote a

Nearing the Danger Mark.

THE phallic novels of our day also
u illustrate disproportion. Mr.. Law
rence's books, of which / have written
elsewhere. are powerful in this genre
and contain admirable qualities which
this definition does not touch My point
is that in his novels, and in the stories
of, let us say, Waldo Frank or Ben Hecht
in this country, the urgency of sex is so
immediate in every thought and action
that the thing becomes an obsession. The
genre has reached its climax in the
Ulysses of James Joyce, an extrav-
aganza of erratic genius in which literally
hundreds of pages are driven into an
insane indecency by an obsession with
infiamed or perverted sex that hurries
the author away from proportion, away
from conference and very far away from
art. Subtle studies result, but also an
emotional intensifying of life which is
often wearisome and sometimes distress
ing. The phallic novel at its worst is no
more valuable as transcript of life in
the round than a study of dipsomaniacs
in private sanatorium-From "Ser in
Fiction" By Henry Seidel CANDY in the
Century.

lowing statement to several of her rela-

memory of good man." Why Mark
Twain discarded the Hampton from his
name and substituted Langhorne was
never explained. AS boy he was plain

man in California he was likewise simply
Sam Clemens. His first book, "The Cele-
