Thierry's child is thoroughly up to
date for two reasons. because he is
studied in and for himself. and be-
cause he Is neither good nor bad.
beautiful nor ugly. The author is a
younger man Of our own day; and he
is a schooimaster: the things that
interest him are the child, not the
grown-ups; and the child's instincts,
not virtues and vices. As a conse-
quence the volume contains a vari-
ETY. which 1t is hard for us to o.
scribe without distortion: for our
language, having developed in diff
ferent age. finds it hard to strip an
attribute of moral values. On the
one hand, Thierry describes young
girl, Eugene. the granddaughter of
old Etienne Harry. Eugene cares
for the old man day by day, regu-
larly, sympathetically. with a healthy
lack of emotionalism that makes it
possible for her happily to perform
for him the most trying services Al
last her grandfather dies. She takes
this death to heart; her sincerity
and devotion offer a striking con-
trast to the interested solicitude OF
Harry's sons and daughters. YET
she bears this grief with the same
strength and poise as those with
which she has borne other suffer
iAgs. She understands that now she
can take up once more her studies
which she has formerly been toe
busy to pursue effectively; and she
feels that she is more ready than
ever to meet the world.
On the other hand, other stories
The New York herald., 1922-07-02

bring out attributes which we should
consider vices or near vices; but
which Thierry treats with the same
sympathy as he does the devotion
Of Eugene. Such is the story Of
number of children who, rebclling
against the constant, though kindly,
superiority Of an older boy who
watches lovingly over them, have
undertaken to wound him and make
him cry: and such. too, is the tale
about Michel Lecourt- BY accident

ished at school, Increases the mag

but also that he is i'll treated by his
father at home. The singular pity,
the sort of halo thus created, de-
velops in him a passion for the situa-
ton of the child martyr. He becomes
a prey to this passion; and finally
works himself into such a position
that only suicide can get him out

French Child Literature.
No country is so rich in child
literature as France. 1t is she that
has furnished the greatest number
of the worlds most famous fairy
tales; 1t Is she that has the most
varied and most numerous collection
of children's songs, and, in the field
of a comparatively. recent develop
ment, the novel of childhood, the
wealth and beauty of her production
are little short of amazing. lie
Sourire blesse" is worthy to enter
this illustrious group. Excellent in
style, 1t treats of the child from a
thoroughly modern point of view.
In the past the Romantics saw in
the child an innocent trailing into
this world reflections of Heaven; the
social reformers made it the victim
of a heartless, unsympathetic society
of adults. The ironists, availing
themselves Of its independence and
natural irreverence, made of it (espe-
ciaIly in the form of the entant ter
sibIe) a comment on the hypocricies
of the heart or of civilization. These
are all, however, descriptions Of the
child from the viewpoint of the
grown up.

our new, present day realism to give

VYESTERDAY Paul Morand was
unknown; to-day he is being
discussed by all those who
watch the newer developments Of
literary art. His "Ouvert la Mutt"
(Open All Night). following closely
on the heels of three other works,
the first of which did not appear
earlier than 1919, is an outstanding
example of what is most modern in
writing. This small volume of 1874
pages has come as surprise and a
joy to not few readers; for, like a
drink of ice water to one who has
Travelled in the sun or a scarlet
maple after a summer of green trees
grown dusty, Morand's book has a
double attraction. 1t possesses an
intrinsic worth which cannot be
denied even by those who judge by
more or less permanent standards;
and 1t has the added charm of being
a relief from a manner of thought
and expression of which we are
tired. In these days we have come
to dislike that which is reasoned and
that which is drab. "Ouvert la Mutt"
is series of six sketches, physical
and of the utmost brilliancy. They
remind US of the canvases of certain
recent painters. who, enamored of
shape and color, put into their work
such light as never before was seen
in painting.
