The story Of boy. The story of an author
as well One who tried over and over again
10 write Of things about which he knew almost
nothing. Not an unusual experience Finally,
disheartened, Richard Jefferies went back TO
the old home down in Wiltshire. There he
wrote the story Of Bevis There he went back
over his own childhood, re-feeling the native
corner Of soil, re-breathing the familiar airs,
re-seefng an the sights and sounds that from
his babyhood had kept him company and loved
him as he, late, came to love them.
A new kind Of boy story, this one. A kind
that opens up the whole question Of books for
boys" book, too suggesting that possibly
there Is no such thing as literature, exclusively
juvenile. Let that go. since it is too big and
provocative for this place. Here are two boys,
Bevis and Mark. Wiltshire is the home of both
Out Of this smiling little corner of England
these youngsters create world Of their own.
The Nile, the Mississippi, jungles elephants,
pythons, the DESERT waste places to explore,
heat and thirst and hunger to be met, the poles
to be hunted out with the scant life that ex-
lists around them. An this out Of Wiltshire
by way Of the creative impulse, to which few
scraps Of common knowledge have been added.
There is no hint Of play and make-believe here.

from other sources, such as the great self-por-

Presumably any national portrait gallery
would be, IN measure. patterned after the
National Portrait Gallery of Great Britain, and
should comprise portraits Of those who have
attained great distinction through position or
service, and portraits which are at the same
time genuine works of art. Such gallery
would, In time, become q national monument
and would at the same time witness to the
art of America at its best. But 1t Is large
project and one which must be developed with
the utmost elaboration.
A FEW months ago q portrait Of the late
Chief Justice Taft by Ernest L. Ipsen was

Those who recall this portrait will be interested

RIVER MAN. By Leonard Lupton New
York: The Dial Press.
VERY likely the reader is himself partly to
blame for a certain disappointment IN :
this story. Lately we've been reading some fine
stuff on the vitality of localities, ON the spirit
of place, on the moods Of the landscape, on its
essential contribution to the substance of the
story itself Such reading has given many Of
us an appreciation for writing of this kind, q
keen taste for more Of It. In this mood, under i
such expectation or hope, took up River
Man." Old Hudson was to come alive under
the spell of new writer; its morning moods
were to be as open as those of the man Just
waking to the day; its daily behaviors we're to
be of like quality, and its going to bed no diff
ferent. Well there is some of this here, but
not enough. Not nearly so much as Leonard
Lupton could have put into it had he have
turned himself that way. He chose, rather, to
make Old Hudson mere medium for love
story OF slightly novel approach. Sc it seems
to me that the novel Is Of commonplace char
acter, of dilute interest where IL he had let
the poet in him have any show at all he might
have made much more unusual and a much
more engaging matter of even the romance it,
self. hope I'm wrong, for / like to have
writer's do well for all Of US, as they are ex-
pected to do. If I am wrong you write to
this young fellow and tell him so. Criticism

and with fair grip on the common human
nature of an of us. Nothing sacroscant about
criticism, despite the pOntthcal gestures often
made toward 1t.
CANARY VILLAGE. BY Grace B. Cawthorpe.
Decorations by Edna Potter. New York

TT was just a shop, bird shop Hans Froh
its owner, was different from many store
keeper. Selling things was all right. of course
That was his job, but not all of it. Hans was
fun OF what we can fellow feeling" so fun
that it took in lot of live things beside Just
the folks around him. He was actually in love
with his canary birds. So inside the store he
built them a village to live in. Houses and
streets an white and shining green things
growing, sunlight sitting in all over the place
In the houses the birds lived, neighborlike,
talking across the way to one another, or side
by side out of their own back doors, so to
speak. Now and then they set up a general
celebration of their good luck. Song literally
filled the place, in notes and trills, joyous and
beautiful
advise you to read this engaging story OF
happiness in bird shop. Go all around the
place. Look and listen. It is a worthwhile
happening to come to any one. Then, as you go
about your own streets-in Washington or
Weedsport in Chicago or Baltimore or Atlanta

suppose you lend this book to that bird store
man of the other kind. And, just maybe, when
you happen around again, there you win md
as headman Of q new bird village some one
exactly like Hans Froh. An engaging thing.

externals, no different from her. But they were
different And under this pressure the love-

moved back finally into his own caste, leaving
old Peters girl behind. However, this is not
the point Of the story. Edna Pelter herself Is
that and more than that. For, like Alice
Adams here is another character to take high

her father and her kind, yearning for q more

THE BITTER TEA OF GENERAL YEN BY
Grace Earring Stone, author of "The Heaven
and Earth Of Dona Elena" Illustrated by
Barbara Macfarlane. Indianapolis: The
Bobbs-M Merrill Co.
THE distinction Of this novel, qui.e positive
distinction, derives primarily it seems to
me, from the courage and discretion of its
author. From this groundwork rises a good
art Of cor"pce''ion, a fine seemliness of projec-
ton.
China is the theme of the novel. Bewildering
subject In any sort Of approach to it, save to
the dauntless. vast congeries, place and
people, stretching forward out of an nlimitable
past. having achieved and forgotten much which
we today haunt as "marvels of science" To
the onlooker China Is q kaleidoscope coIorful
shards Of the ancient and modern, interesting
but, after ALL unintelligible. And so much of it!
So impossible Of anything like adequate seizure
And this Is the point where the discretion
OF this author serves us al well. This eau
ton becomes here selective art Of the best
