SKIPPY BEDELLE. BY Owen johnson. Lit
tie. Brown & Co.
r was fifteen years ago that Owen
Johnson launched 'sThe Eternal
Boy his first volume of stories deal
ing with life in the Lawrencevile school,
John c. Green Foundation. That book was
followed by THE Tennessee Shad," 1.-The
Humming Bird" and 1.-The varmint," and
then Mr.. Johnson carried the hero of the
last named story on to the university in
''Stover at Yale" These books contributed
much to the gayety of life at the time and
compared by many readers to Mr.. Kipling's
"Stalky and Company" have endured

ticular years has been completely forgot

was to be detected an occasional voice of
hostile criticism Riotously delightful as
the boys of those tales were, their prob
lens and complications belonged the voice
maintained, to a particular environment,
rather than being the problems and COM
plications common to all American boy
hood
Perhaps in the contention there was a
certain justice. But for criticism of
"Skippy Bedelle." Mr.. Johnsons latest
story of Lawrenceville life. another note
must be found. 1.-THE Sentimental Adven-
lures of Skippy Bedelle" would be a more
complete title. for the inventions of the
tale, the Bedelle Foot>Regulator and the
Mosquito Proof Socks, humorous as they
are, are merely episodes; the dominating
motif is that calf love, which is as old as
the world; the calf love of anguish of
hesitations. of self doubts and of self ques-
tionings. "The Varmint," for example, was
a tale of the boys tof all ages) of the
land; "Skippy Bedelle" is tale for the
boys, and for the sisters of other boys.
Here is waged the age-old war between the
sexes. The seventeen-year-old Skippy of
the end of the story is wise to woman's
perfidy and to womans charm.
1t had not always been so. Before Eve
in various manifestations had brought dis
illusionment there had been another
Skippy, whose opinion of the feminine sex
had been decidedly monastic. During the
first twenty-five years of their existence he
regarded them as unmitigated nuisances
and pondering on them he often wondered
at the hidden purposes of the Creator
Later they might possibly serve some pur-
pose by marrying an adding to the worlds

FROZEN JUSTICE. BY Ejnar Mikkelsen.
Translation by A. G. Jayne Alfred A.
Knopf
A NY fiction which departs even a
little from the stereotyped adven-
lures Of the hero and heroine of the
beaten track, of lovemaking adventure and
happy ending has. in these days of far too
much fiction. a value in the very divergence.
When book lies so far from that beaten
track as this it seems to come like an
answer to prayer from sated readers. The
much overworked epithet, distinction, 4"
may be applied without any hesitaney to this
remarkable venture into creative literature
by we'll known explorer who demon
strates high competency as an artist 1t is
not flawless book, by any means, as it
slumps into melodrama toward the middle
of 1t, and even sometimes rants, but it's

lapses.

1T is relief to meet a Danish book which
ends upon a note-not of optimism which
is not desired, but of belief in the real
goodness OF humanity, both Eskimo and
white, even after a tale of horrors and
great wickedness and bestiality. All these
horrors are clearly indicated, but they are
kept. as uncleanness should be, out of too
direct contact with the senses. 1t is naked
tragedy, but not nauseating; its dignity
saves it from being repulsive.
1t is hardly necessary to say that Mr..
Mikkelsen speaks out of personal knowl-
edge of his Eskimos, whalers shin can
tains and halfbreeds. One feels sure of the
faithfulness of the picture 1t opens with
splendid description of native life before
