1t is, good lack, the story of q
woman's heart" again, which, If the
reviewer be not thinking of some-
thing else or maybe looking out the
window, has already been written
once or twice. All, but that woman's
heart! Give the device its due.
Faithful mine of claptrap plots, no
wonder that novelists have burned
incense before it these several CEN
turies! What else so quickly pro-
vides a pot boiler when the invest
ments of last years royalties are not
quite up to expectations? What
else so very apt to catch the eye
of Hollywood? What else so err.
ingly appeals to the innumerable
army OF the heart ito say nothing
Of the head empty? What? The
reviewer does not know. If there
Is an answer to these questions It
is not in her possession. She can
only refer you soicitously to the
blurb writer's.
Well, Mr.. Morley being realistic is
q sight to see. He lives in a world
which would have been familiar to
the late Jean Stratton Porter and
his notion of rendering that world
realistic is, apparently, to miss 10
possible opportunity to mention
country matters. It would seem,
that is to say, that he, like many
another congenitally radiant soul,
badly confuses realism with smut.
He does not want to be smutty, you
comprehend. He Just wants to be
realistic. But the only concept he
has of realism is to write a great
deal about functions of the body
more customarily left out of dis
cussion. And this he does In his
present opus, remaining otherwise
his radiant self, so that to read his.
resulting book is to feel much as If
one were having little bits Of pu-
tridity served up to one on pretty
china plates decorated with Cupids,
lovers knots and roses. It gave the
reviewer very seagoing sensation,
though, from long custom, she is
able to take fairly heavy literary
weather.
Mr.. Morley's story is that of a
little Irish girl born on wrong So
cial side Of Philadelphia railroad
tracks. She is one of those warm
hearted, swate, tinder colleens who
will always be havin' tear to her
OF or smoile to her lips, II you
recognize the type. She is left an
orphan at an early age, she goes out
(for some reason or other) to IL
linois, where she has an aunt and
uncle and grows up there in a small
prairie town. Then she goes back to
Philadelphia, where she meets a
young man who is distinctly from
the right side of the tracks. They
love but the brave little colleen re-
nounces her sweetheart, because it
wouldn't do for her to marry him.
This, we are to understand, Is trag-
edy. But the brave little colleen,

The growing importance Of trade
unions In American life and the in
terest Of union members and nom
members In the history Of the labor
question In this country and in the
internal workings Of the unions are
evidenced by the many queries on
the subject that come to the infor-
nation desk of the Public Library,
Eighth and K streets NV, and its
branches.
The most comprehensive histori-
cal treatment Of the labor question
is 'The History Of Labor in the
United States" by John r. Commons
and others. Other readable and

In this, another Of a series Of his
stirring volumes dealing with SUBJ
marines and deep-sea diving, Comdr.
Ellsberg tells with graphic realism
the story Of the Squalus, q tragedy
with its bright side in the escape
for the first time Of men trapped in
Q sunken submarine in deep water.
The author leads up to the story
Of the Squalus with vivid, gripping
history of ocean diving, from the
naked divers" of the earliest days
to the most modern deep-sea salvage
and rescue operations. He tells OF
the dangers threatening the diver
during every minute of his time be-
low the surface-such dangers as
the squeeze" in which sea pressure
crushes the hapless diver to. jelly
and jams his body into his helmet;

Autobiography
By A. A. Milne. New York: E. P.
Dutton e. Co.
Writing Of Mr.. Louis Untermeyer's
autobiography last week, the re-
viewer made some bitter remarks
about the coy vein in the self
written life history and by the coy
vein she meant the determinedly
cute, the professionally whimsical,
the lightly-oh-so-Ightly mocking,
and all that. Now, as if to punish
her for her impatience with Mr..
Untermeyer's comparatively mild
coyness, comes Mr.. A. A. Mines own
little story, where the laughing
