BookS.J
The sufferers in any adult con-
f1lct are usually the children, and
this is not less true when the con-
filct happens to be public one
This book is the story of how a
number of children reacted to wars
various phases-to air raids, to de-
struction, to evacuation and separa-
ton from familiar environments
The authors were in charge of three
English nurseries for war children
and observed many cases before
they set down here their general
opinions. They believe that children
cannot escape from war conditions
without some psychological marking.
but that, with care, the marking can
be made of limited harm. But the
chances of the average child to Sc
cure such care in wars turmoil are
slight unless a plan is made in dd-
vance. In sum, the book is a light
turned on tragedy

The SentimentoIist
BIZ Frances WinUa

By Frances WinWar. fHarper. }
Frances Winwar is undoubtedly
a talented biographer. Her his
tories of Oscar Wilde and the Ro-
settis have been first-rate work
| She has also written number OF
novels. The reviewer has not read
any of them but the present one
She regrets to say that its quality
is not comparable to that of the
biographical works. In fact, II
is so far below those that it is
hard to believe a writer so mani
festly gifted in one field could per-
form so poorly in another.
The story is a psychological study
of a man whom Miss WinWar de-
scribes as a sentimentalist, but who
turns out to be psychophatic case
a man who lives so outside reality
that he can hardly be considered
sane. Miss Winwar does not, how
ever, go into psychological back
grounds; she concerns herself solely
with conduct. Her character is a
superficial young fellow with a
talent for oratory. He acquires a
SENSE of inferiority from the pov-
erty of his youth, gets some noto-
riety as clever lawyer, attracts the
attention of Tammany politicians
and is being groomed for a career
when, through bad luck, his name is
connected with a scandal. From
that time on he is given only minor
jobs and drifts into the class of
ranting failure. His story is told ir
terms of his marriage. He weds an
unSophisticated country girl, who, at
first, regards him as the ultimate
in worldly wisdom. 1t develops that
she has great dramatic talent and
as he descends, she rises until she
| is successful actress. Inevitably
she finds more satisfactory lover
and the story reaches it's climax
when the sentimentalist tries to pre-
vent her from leaving him.
The weakness of the book, apart
from a surprising deal of downright
bad writing, lies in Miss Winwar's S
failure to analyze any of her char
acterS except the central one. While
he is pretty well taken apart, the
others are presented fiat, as if de-
void of complication. The develop
ment, moreover, is ponderous and
without persuasion. One does not
care particularly at any point what
happens to any one in the novel.
