lack Of solidity that properly be-
longs to a mermaid or a fairy prin-

deftly managed, and not without a
certain poignancy. That part of the
book remains essentially a fairy
story. though it is stated in modern
terms, much of II; indeed. in the
smart idiom of postwar London's

But the book is a good deal more
than Loia's fairy story. Mr.. Ham
ilton is very much in earnest in his
consideration of the present trou-

greater importance of the story is
not its ability to entertain, nor is

the village gossips, his stern Aunt

~ ONE one has said, speaking OF
the difficulty that even the
greatest and most experienced
women writer's find In delineating
men that even George Eliot's Tito
sometimes puts his hand up to his
back hair" Thus il Is truly aston
ishing to- find SO understanding a
portrayal of masculine character $50
far as it goes) as that OF this book,
which is first novel and thus pre-
sumably by a young woman. Miss
Larminie sees very clearly and ac-
curately over the field to which her
vision reaches, and it is wide field.
1t is true, however, that it is by no
means the whole field. Her portrait
of James Stonehouse, the hero Of the
story, is only profile view, but what
there is of it is exceedingly well
drawn. IT may be that it would have
needed Thackeray to do it in full
face, or, more accurately. "in the
round"
The novel is so fine both in its
detail and in its general conception
that it calls for criticism according
to the severest standard. There is
nothing amateurish or cropping or
clumsy about it: its technic is more
than good, its finish is that of a
careful, high polish. as scrupulously
worked out as if it were a sonnet.
But ii has the one serious defect-a
defect common TO most such at
tempts, as in the case of May Sim
, clair's comparable novels-of pre-
tending TO give complete picture Of
a whole life, whereas it, in fact, has
picked out only the more striking
phases of such a life. A man like
Stonehouse might be all she shows
him to be, might experience all these
emotions and come to the same con-
illusions, but there would inevitably
be a great deal more of him than she
sees. Such man is not so self
centered: his souls struggles may be
as painful and absorbing as she
shows them, but there would still be
his non-sexualized activities, his
daily affairs and his intellectual in
terest in impersonal matters. There
is a remnant of truth In the over
statement Of the familiar line
Mans love is OF mans life a thing
apart" 1t is not even quite true
that 1t is "woman's whole existence"
But with that corrective the psy-
chology of the story is extraordi-
narily acute, sound and not at all
pathological.
The process of dissection pursued
by Miss Larminie is little painful.
She takes her subject apart neatly
and places the quivering fragments
under her microscope with careful
precision and then puts him together
again. The spectator emerges with
his psychic face little drawn after
witnessing the operation. but. in
medical parlance, that operation is
entirely successful. Whether the
patient really RECEIVERS or not is just
a bit problematical, but one has
hopes OF him. But 1t is soul surgery
without the use of any anesthetic.
