Venetian affairs. And SO,
from such point of advan-
tage, readers have for their
use the first monograph in
English on the fall of the
Venetian republic" Out of
the study many questions of
S--Grp point turn upon
America itSelf-the quality
Of its democracy, the go
litical significance, ultimate
ly, Of its concentrate wealth
and the power derived from
1t, the historic rhythm of
nations, the cadence of their
rise and fall, the tap roots of
deterioration and decay.
Mere size is no warrant Of
Immortality to governments
and powers. A provocative
study, this study of Venice
ana Bonaparte." An imme-
diately absorbing one, be-
sides.
THE GOLDEN VASE. BY
Ludwig Lewisohn, author
of The Island Within"
etc. New York: Harper
l. Bros.
THIS Is the story of a nov
! elist. John Ridgevale by
name. Ludwig Lewisohn in
fact. An aging man, who in
earlier days had been a
doughty warrier in many a
high cause. A novelist, be-
sides, of power and wide ac-
ceptance. We come upon
Ridgevale aboard ship, sail
ing away where there NAV
be rest for his worn BODY
and ragged nerves. Holding
aloof from companions he
seeks easement to himself in
the super folly of poriag
over budgets of book reviews
reviews of his own work.
Here follow pages of didactic
stuff on the strictly right
and proper character of t.is
form of writifg. No trouble
at all to see that here is a
vain, and hurt, mar, resent
ful as child, over notices
not adulatory of him and his
genius. This treatise on
analysis and appraisal might
nave been both Illuminating
and interesting. 1t is neither.
Time moves along, the
ship arrives and Ridgvale
gradually approaches that
other port, the one from
Which, or SO it appears, Lud-
wig Lewisohn is hardly likely
10 sail away, ever. That is
the landing place of his own
inner states of feeling, states
OF romantic potentiality, of
ardors that no longer flare
INTO flame, that cannot do
more than family flicker as
oylng embers embedded in
ash.
After a good deal of to-do
with his own inner stst
ana a few Of outer mani
festations, there is the .ud-
Gen. and glorious, dawn of
love. A new and valiant ,ove
youth and beauty, calling
the man Of years. Al every
day story whose content 10

How the Sacred Cloak Of
St. Martin Gave Us Our Word
CHAPEL

When the revered ST Martin died Tours in the th CEN
tury, his cloak preserved by the Fransh Kings
holy relic The original meaning Of capea the Late Latin
word Tor cloak, extended that it mean not
only the cloak but also the sanctuary which the cloak
was kept Gradually the meaning broadened further and
eabea to denote any shrine in which sacred things
were kept and then any building used for sacred
services worship The Latin form cabea became the Old
French form chapele and then English word CHAPEL
From the chaplain which is derived from
the Latin caeanns, guardian OF the cloak Of ST Martin
This is but example Of the thousands of fascinating
stories about the origins Of English words which you will find
