In a compact, readable volume we
are given a sweeping view of the
Pacific problems which daily cast their
shadows further into our national con-
sciousness. At the core of the au-
thor's method lies a logical, mathe-
matical or geometric attitude which
finds expression not only in his title

r + it were allowable in a review to
preach from a text I would say
I of Sydney Greenbie's book, And
he spoke unto them as a man among
men!"
Out of the maudlin welter of South
Sea feminism "The Pacific Triangle"
cuts a sharp and masculine outline. 1t
stands like a rock against the Cythe-
rean background of sentimental mis-
Interpretation to which we have be-
come accustomed and from which, 1
trust, we have begun to turn. But
Greenbie's is rock draped and soft
ened with an investiture of tropic
charm, rich with the color chords Of
the varying races, which blend and
harmonize even as difficult musical
modulations are made to seem easy
and natural under the hands of a
master.
Lest the foregoing seem pompous
and presumptive, let me hasten to add
that I am as far from claiming that
Greenbie is a master" as I am from
supposing that he thinks he is BY
virtue of it's subject matter and
method of treatment the book is not
one adapted to the grand manner or
literary gesture. Yet there is beauty
and simplicity in it's directness and
good writing, too, in pleasant proper
ton to informative discussion.
What a rare quality lies in the much
abused word temperament which
usually connotes a supersensitiveness
to fascinating, vital, but often super
fetal or at least exterior phases of
human existence. And yet, may not

There is a hotter fire in the depths OF

All this by way of comment upon

a manifestation which to me becomes
increasingly important in the hasty
bites of literature snatched by one who

Greenbies, fortnight, honest, devoid
of conscious superiority and graced by
human sympathy. That the author
knows his subject, that he writes out
Of years of study, that his data is first
hand. these are matters beside the
mark. The important thing is the use
70 which he puts his knowledge, the
deductions at which he arrives. To me
they seem eminently just.
Mr.. Greenbie filings wide net and
catches far distant points in his tri-
angular cast. San Francisco. Homo

Gardner were adopted by the Sun
day School class of the Paris Meth
odist church:
Whereas, the Providence of God,
which is not always to under
stood, but is always to be trusted as
wise and beneficent, has seen fit to
call by death from our Sunday
school and church, Edna Christine
Gardner, one of our most faithful
and loyal young girls.
Whereas, We shall miss the inspi-
ration of her presence and interest
in our Sunday School, therefore,
Be it Resolved, That we record
our grief at her going, but submit
with humble hearts to the will of
our Heavenly Father, the All Wise
and All Loving.
Resolved Further, That copy of
these resolutions be spread on the
records of our Sunday School, copy
be sent to her parents and copy be
given to the papers of Paris.

MODES AND MORALS

No doubt Ewes first costume was
criticized as immodest by her hus-
band, for ever since. the dress of
woman has been under masculine
displeasure. 1t seems strange with
the incessant change in feminine
dress that it does not by accident
sometime strike mode. which should
meet with the approval of those
for whom women are generally be-
lieved to aim to please in their
dress.
Even the skirt, which has been of
every length and shortness possible
in the last few years, never seems
to be exactly right, and so it is
kept in perpetual motion. How
ceaseless are these changes is illus
trated by the statement of a popular
motion picture actress, who declares
that in her Journeys over this coun-
try and Europe it has kept her mind
busy shortening or frightening her
skirts to keep pace with the styles of
the times and of the places visited.
Then there is woman's bathing
suit, which every summer furnishes
fresh food for moralizing. There are
indications that the skirt to the
bathing suit will soon be abolished
altogether, as the one-piece bathing
suit marches steadily from the West
to the East.
The day may not be so far distant
when the skirt will be a thing of the
past and when there will even be
laws enacted against the wearing of
it as a source of useless contro-
versy and tending to divert the
minds of both men and women from
more important subjects.
