REVIEWS OF NEW FICTION

navians are too prone to write of the
somber. 1t is true that Ditte's life is a
sad one. Still, she is an unusually
sensitive type. Glimpses are vouch-
safed of other girls and other people
who feast and riot, people who do en-
joy themselves. Even in the life of
Ditto herself there is sunshine.
Ditto goes to work on the Hill Farm
and lives there a hard working, semi
happy existence until she is betrayed
by the weak willed son of the mistress.
She leaves the Hill Farm and in the
house of her father gives birth to a
child. The son comes and desires to
marry Ditto, but she will have nothing
of him.
Ditte gives her child to an old couple
for adoption and goes to Copenhagen.
Her first experiences as a wet nurse
in "baby farm" are horrible. A little
too much so. 1t sounds like a strain
ing after effect. Then follows a mis-

Ireland a Soul Ever Seeking

GODS. BY Shaw Desmond. Charles
Scribner's Sons.
HAW DESMOND starts his hero
on perilous journey through
a maze of gods, ever seeking a
true one and finding none to whom he
can give his trust This is the essence
of his latest novel Startling and beau
tiful, this tale of the young journalist
shows a delicacy of touch and insight
that has peculiarly distinguished Mr.
Desmond. With the mystic Ireland for
a background the young journalist
takes strange paths in search of be-
lief, hoping wistfully that he will find
the All Being so variously seen by his
friends.
This hopeful traveller is a lovable
character, pathetic in his appeals for
The New York herald., 1922-01-15

be through now-for it is around him
that Desmond has woven the blessed
understanding of his people. The mist
that hides Ireland from alien eyes is
but a veil that enhances her beauty
FOR the author. He explains why peo-
pie love Ireland so passionately, put
ting his feelings in the words of the
Jesuit priest who said: "All Ireland is
outside the world and the world is out
side Ireland"
The other characters in the book are
delightful. The garrulous old aunt
who insists on talking about the poor
old widow woman" at every opportu-
nifty is the one character in the book
that will send readers off into par
oxysms of laughter. She is bland, un-
expected humor, truly Irish. She is
the gay touch that lightens F'inn's
searches for faith
The Sidhe, the Others" and the spir-
its so prone to fall into the lives of the
Irish have not been left out. There
Is the same element of spirit belief in
this novel that we find i'm Lady Greg
ory's visions and Beliefs" Indeed
Desmonds picture of Ireland is the
most complete that has ever been
drawn in fiction.
If YOU are looking for definition
of Ireland perhaps these words of the
priest will come as near your desire
as any | know of: ireland is the
house of spiritual alchemy to, which
all things yield, in which even the base
become precious; just as it is the only
country in the world in which the peo-
pie simply don't understand non-belief
Nobody knows anything about us, but
we have left our marks upon the
world. the marks of faith, impalpable
but ineffaceable.'
Desmond's book deserves a place on
the good literature shelves: for it is
Ireland at her best and gentlest. 1t
deserves a kindly reception, for it is
kind to Ireland without trace of false
sentimentalty of the so-called devotion
that is out of focus. There is so much
opportunity to get up on the box and
lose your head in oratory about Ire
land, and so many people have done
il. that it is blessed to find some one
who can write faithfully about Ire
land and not get lost in an emotion
that doesn't help Ireland-still less the
literary world.
Finn Fontaine's search for faith and
a god that he can cling to is typical
of the wanderings of a peoples pill
grimage for peace and happiness-it
is as though Cathleen nj Houlihan
had again walked through Ireland in
the person of Finn Fontaine. Let us
leave Fsnn with tribute to Shaw Des-
mond's understanding of Ireland and
his ability to bring his reader into
closer communion with this most dis
tressful country" so badly misrepre-
sented by the soap box orators and so
madly loved by her children.

from the fact that such an ending
would be desirable in order not to

MI that rare individual who can
tell the cold truth yet keep
his friends. He Is able to set down the
harsh and brutal facts of life without
losing the quality of poetry and ad-
venture.
In this second volume OF the iife OF
Ditte he has traced the development
Of a young girl through the early
stages. of adolescence. The aspects of
girlhood which other writer's on this
theme scant Nexo deals with slowly.
In doing so he does not grow vulgar.
Rather he rises in our estimation be-
cause of the grace and skill with
which he has handled this difficult
subject. The net result Of his truth
telling is beauty.
1t is almost unfair to pick and

in beautiful and moving passages. In

past when they had any business
there; it was quite enough to have the
sea always staring them in the face.

But here from the cradle to the grave
they had to stare at a gaping void,
with the constant feeling of being on
the point of slipping into the un-
known. The farmyard was like a
tilted sieve; if anything started rolling
it kept on till it reached Ahe beach.
And then somebody had to go down
to the detested waters edge and bring
the thing up again. The people of the
farm had to admit that in the long
run it is not good thing to be kept
constantly face to face with something
one cannot bear the sight of. The out
look had the same effect on them as
the walls of a cell on a convict and
made them unbalanced and unruly."

A RTHUR CRABB has made a de-
n cided step since the compost

more penetrating. more skillfully
executed, more convincingly done. 1t
is an unusual story of an unusual
man-of a man that hates women.
Moreover, as the jacket of the book
truthfully states, 1t concerns a man
whose hatred is not "a silly superficial
emotion" "The roots of his dislike
and distrust are buried deep in his
subconscious mind. The emotion col
ors all his contacts with the world Of
people, affecting his conduct in
numerous ways of which he is not
conscious"
In a word, the story is one that il
lustrates how ones early impressions
may implant themselves upon the
mind and dig themselves in so firmly
that they cannot be uprooted. Ben
Thorpe's hatred of women would be
justified were all women of the type
he meets in childhood. His mother
is a woman of the streets, whom ii
is impossible for him to regard with
respect; he himself is n street urchin

fection for his foster father, he cares

almost as with an intruder. Mean
while, he Is treated frigidly by other
women that know of his origin he
has several quarrels with women
school teachers; and so he comes TO
remain strictly aloof from the oppo-
