sweet wild beauty exists in this
book. These are the children of
disease, though the disease be merely
of the imagination. unfortunate re-
suits of what preceded them. They
are dropped at the books end.
obsessed with their sensations, lost
in vague longing for death. fright
full inside and out. One shudders at
them, feeling a clamminess at their
touch. like the touch of an unclean
death.
There is no doubt that Mrs. Scott
has succeeded in doing what she
wanted to do. Her book is a work
of art, even as some of the strange
little groups in wax made in Italy
during the Middle Ages, where the
ravages of the plague are depicted
and the desperate struggle to survive
under Whatever hazard, by whatever
att IL PiCSthNSu, WI No Vi art.
Saying that. you say all. Always
there is the question of what you
want from a book besides its sue
cessful presentation of it's theme
Most of us have our theme prefer
ences, too. We have only so much
time, and must give it to what draws
us. A study in neurosis is a legiti-
mate study; but it must be frankly
presented as that. The play, after
all, is the thing. Those who want
humor. warmth. loveliness and sound
health will not go "Narcissus." :"
Those who are interested in the
careful and subtle presentation of
warped personalities, in the laying
bare OF human motives and desires
which exist TO some extent in all,
and reach ultimate strength and ex-

nearer accuracy than the
title itself. The wildness OF the
ladies in the case is something of an
affectation, but the flapperishness is
pretty well done. 1t is slightly remi-
niscent of Mrs. Rinehart's stories of
the "Subdeb"-very slightly. It's hu-
NOR is real enough, of its kind, but
it has an .acrid flavor. 1t is not good
natured. One smiles. but there Is
something of embarrassment in the
smile. as when an intruder has hap
pened upon a family quarrel and is
obliged to take it humorously.
The family life portrayed is dis
tinctly unpleasant. almost sordid, and
it leaves a certain feeling of dis
taste for the whole thing. With the
possible exception of the father they
are all a disagreeable lot. But they
are often very funny. AS a plot 1t
does well enough. 1t is concerned
with the love affairs and near-loVe
affairs of young girl and her older
sister. The latter is so unpleasant
that one feels rather sorry for the
young man who finally gets her. But
it holds the attention as narrative.
The twenty-five illustrations that
tighten up the book are rather clever:
quite as successful as the text:
sometimes more so.

and this combination of curiosity and
cruelty results in a kind of death.
Though she possesses a power to put
life on her page, she cannot refrain
from killing that life in the end Her
stories are a sort OF murder. She is
an artist. perhaps a great artist. but
she falls short because her interest
enters in decay. No one would deny
her brilliance. but it affects the
reader as a brilliance lacking in
spontaneous qualities. hard. cold and
fashioned for a purpose.
