fashion his cousins personality. He meets
the adorable Miyuki, former mistress of
the aforesaid cousin, and acquires her too.
They get on fairly well for time, al
though Dunbar is also distracted by his
study of Buddhism. But then the other
woman appears, Lady Lucia, who is un-
happily married to rich "bounder'' named
Sellenger OF course Dunbar and Lucia
are instant affinities. In due time change
of partners is brought about, the lady gets
a divorce and the pair vanish into con-
nubial bliss in the remote background of
China Incidentally. poor little Miyuki is
abandoned by the brutal Sellenger
Mr.. Beck is much in earnest in his pres
entation of Buddhism: more than half the
book deals with it, although it is nicely
woven into the plot. If the picture is more
intriguing or fascinating than convinc-
ing, that may be due to the tough minded
Occidental reader who always finds it hard
to- take his mysticism very strenuously.
But, however one feels about that, it is an
unusually interesting book.

seems to her "the most ravishing, lovely,
tender thing that ever happened to any
girl" He is marvellous. and she decides
to be as marvellous as he. Chiefly, she
was grateful And what she saw in front
of her was a sublime vocation" And here
Mr. Bennett adds, with delightful touch
of satire, "her mood was ever so family
tinged with regret because they were not
both in evening Dress
AS already limited, this is a familiar. al
most hackneyed plot up to a certain point:
the ofttold story of the unprotected girl
led astray by her employer, and the tragedy
FASTENED by the futile interference of a
female relative. Mr.. Bennett, however,
gives this old material several refresh
ingly new twists. In the first place this
reprehensible couple are both quite sim
cere in their mutual admiration and graft
tude. They experience no disillusion; they
are as happy as two children on a holiday.
The whole brief history of their sojourn
together on the Riviera, which might so
easily been made sordid ana hectic, is pic
tured with such rare sympathy that it
leaves, on the contrary, the impression of
an evanescent and charming idyll. Then,
without warning, tragedy intrudes ruth
lessly. Felix at fifty should have taken
better care of himself; night air on the
Riviera is treacherous. He makes a gall
liant but losing fight against pneumonia;
and having learned that Lillian faces what
Mr.. Kipling has defined as the Almost
Inevitable Consequences, he has barely
time to assure her welfare and that of the
child by a belated marriage.
From the point of view of narrow old
fashioned morality the whole story of
course is topsy-turvy. Miss Orig, the
diligent, toiling Ant of the old fable, is dis
inherited, and Lillian, the careless, merry
making Grasshopper of a brief season,
reaps the harvest. And yet one feels,
somehow. that it is all perfectly right; that
in coming into her own Lillian has merely
triumphed over some of the initial injustice
of her luckless birth and training. And a
good many of us are just unrighteous
enough to share her satisfaction in her
unspoken thought during her final hostile
parting with Miss Orig:
Zone day you will come and swallow
your pride and beg me humbly for a
sight of his child"
