Wood" of Woodilee from Cæsar's day. The elder who leads the devilish cohort reasons that his orthodox salvation is perfectly sure, anyway, because he believes in predestination and knows that he is saved, so he can worship both God and Satan with impunity!

The romance has not only originality, at vigor, character depiction, and a moving love story. It is only fair to warn readers that they may at first find impediments in the not too easy Scottish words and phrases and in the assumption that readers do not need to have the theological and political situation explained to them. will amply repay them to have a little patience; as the story possesses them-and it certainly will-they will forget all that.

THE BACCHANTE. By Robert Hichens. The
York.
Cosmopolitan Book Company, New
$2.50.

This otherwise excellent novel has a fatal rift in its psychology. The reader simply declines to accept Valentine Morris's alleged dual nature as at once sense-driven and of a fine and strong cultivation. She asserts it, and the author asserts it; but one just doesn't believe it. As an actress she has the power and subtle charm of a Duse; but after having made one great success in a delicately wrought part she descends to a vulgar, clap-trap play, because of her physical longing for a brainless, handsome actor whose mistress she had been long before. This was, we believe, her only dereliction from moral conduct. But, after she has discarded this worthless chap, she continues to be so distressed by her lower sensual nature that in the end she goes into a convent, instead of marrying a thoroughly high-minded dramatist who has been instrumental in bringing about her artistic fame and chiefly, one gathers, because his legs are too short! There is really little of the "bacchante" about Valentine, and what there is the author is responsible for, rather than her true nature. The dual motif simply doesn't jibe. In its description of theater life, and especially of the production side, the novel is extremely interesting.

LOVER'S STAFF. By Sibell Vansittart. The Macmillan Company, New York. $2.50. "Hope is a lover's staff," says Shakespeare, but there were times when for charming Nancy Bowring and the faithful Cosmo Standish of Miss Vansittart's novel the staff came near to breaking under the pressure of despair. Their story is interesting and so are they, but it is Mary Grant, homely, brusque, common-sensible, and loyal, who is much the most likable person in the book. A girl would-be golf champion for confidant and a shell-shocked major for hero certainly strike a sufficiently modern note; nevertheless there is something rather agreeably suggestive of the old-fashioned Victorian love story in this English tale where caste, county families, social upstarts, scheming mammas, petty scandals, and a happy ending figure in a manner which may well prove, if only by present contrast, as acceptable as of old. MISS BROWN OF X. Y. 0. By E. Phillips Oppenheim. Little, Brown & Co., Boston. $2. There are two errors in the technique of mystery tales into which seasoned and competent writers of that variety of fiction sometimes fall. One is to take their work not seriously enough, so that a good plot is set forth with so little care to make the human puppets credible that the resentful reader finds the illusion spoiled; the other is to take it too seriously. It is into this ⚫ latter error that the able and experienced Mr. Oppenheim not unfrequently slips, and it is especially in evidence in "Miss Brown X. Y. O." The mousy little stenographer I with an unsuspected capacity for hairraising adventure and desperate devotion is an appealing heroine, and the story

opens with a good situation, promising more thrills to come. They do, to some extent, but their intensity is sadly diluted by an excess of international complications, mysterious committees, labor troubles, and parliamentary problems and procedures, even to the peroration of an address in the House of Commons. And then the absurd Prime Minister Marabels, a dim British shadow of Mussolini! The solemn pseudoimportance of it all becomes positively annoying. As an ingenious background, kept properly subordinated, for a tale of action. Mr. Oppenheim's impossible political situations are all very well; thrust into the foreground and elaborately argued about, they are a bore. Nevertheless, even though the last half of the book is much inferior to the first, whoever begins it is not likely to lay it down unfinished.

THE WIND THAT WOULDN'T BLOW. By
Arthur Bowie Chrisman. E. P. Dutton &
$2.50.
Co., New York.

Mr. Chrisman's sixteen Chinese stories, humorous, flavorous, and quaint, wrought from his own delightful fancy and the ancient story stuff of "the Merry Middle Kingdom," are, as he states on the titlepage, designed for children and himself. Himself, he certainly has a right to enjoy them; indeed, if he had not done so as he wrote they could scarcely possess the delicious offhand, bubbling simplicity and spontaneity which constitute so large a part of their charm. As to the children, of course nobody will grudge them their share, and to read the book aloud to a responsive child can but increase a grownup's enjoyment; but that is no reason why unfortunate grown-ups with no child handy, even the most sedate and settled of bachelors and spinsters, should feel themselves warned off. Not at all. Let them buy, read, and chuckle. All readers will enjoy also the charming illustrations in silhouette by Else Hasselriis which add greatly to the attraction of a volume in every way attractive.

Humor

HEAVENLY DISCOURSE. By Charles Erskine Scott Wood. The Vanguard Press, New York. 50c.

These are dialogues in heaven. Their humor is mingled with biting satire, and their irreverence toward the old theology would make them seem shocking to many modern readers. Dayton, Tennessee, would find them blasphemous, but the monks of the Middle Ages, who performed the old mystery plays, would disagree. As these dialogues appeared in "The Masses," they have something of the snobbery of that paper, which presupposes that if God and the souls of the great dead could speak to us, it would be to say that the political crotchets of "The Masses" are 100 per cent pure and wise. There's no such bigot as the professional liberal.

The author, who spent his youth in Abilene, Kansas, and read the "Arabian Nights," followed their inspiration, and when grown up ventured to the desert. He spent some time with a shepherd tribe, visited the Druse and the Devil Worshipers, and took part in one stock-stealing raid. He enjoyed himself hugely. The reader will share some of his pleasurable emotions, even though he made few discoveries and had no adventures of great moment.

CANNIBAL NIGHTS: THE REMINISCENCES OF A FREE-LANCE TRADER. By Captain H. E. Raabe. Payson & Clarke, Ltd., New York. $3.

The recollections of an old sea captain, now resident, it is said, in Jersey City. It is full of gory adventure about pearl fish

ing, piracy, cannibalism, and assorted deviltry in the South Seas-in the "old days," before the writers of fiction had spoiled it all. The descriptions of anthropophagiastic feasts are not to be recommended as an appetizer. Say Messrs. Payson & Clarke, the publishers, "It is a sea-romance that bears the undeniable impress of truth." Maybe, to Messrs. Payson & Clarke. We wouldn't doubt that Captain Raabe had these adventures, but it seems that he must have hired some literary feller to fix them up. And, in the interests of science,

if there are any United States marines stationed near Jersey City, we suggest that the tales be tried on them.

Education

EIGHT O'CLOCK CHAPEL. By Cornelius Howard Patton and Walter Taylor Field. Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. $3.50.

A charming book for college men; or others with college interests. It is about the New England colleges of the 1880's, and will perhaps be enjoyed best by those whose memories go back thirty or forty years. Anecdotes of the best-known and best-loved professors; chapters on college religion, student life, and athletics.

Books for Children

THE BOY'S BOOK OF EXPERIMENTS. By A. Frederick Collins. The Thomas Y. Crowell Company, New York. $2.

This is intended to show boys and young men how to perform experiments that test and prove principles of time and force as related to mechanics, heat, sound, light, electricity, the radio, and other applications of those principles. It offers a chance for individual work and might well supplement school and even college instruction. EMILY'S QUEST. By L. M. Montgomery. The Frederick A. Stokes Company, New York. $2. Having carried Anne (her of Green Gables) through a most successful series of girls' books, the Canadian author is now doing the same for Emily. A story that is quiet and gay in turn and that leads its young girl readers to the verge of love is pretty sure to be acceptable.

THE FLIGHT OF THE GRAY GOOSE. By Francis Lynde. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. $1.

One of the best boys' stories we have read for a long time. And we warn the boy reader not to let his father or big brother get hold of it until he has finished it himself. Three young fellows start out in Wyoming in the Gray Goose airplane owned by one of them for a moderate voyage. What happens to them is a good deal, and is mighty exciting.

The Outlook for

the work well, and it suffices to give the reader a taste of the famous judge of the days of the witchcraft trials, his journeyings from Boston to Newbury and back, and all that makes him a lesser Pepysless piquant, but not without his salt.

Psychology

THE INNER WORLD OF CHILDHOOD. A Study in Analytical Psychology. By Frances G. Wickes. Introduction by Carl G. Jung. D. Appleton & Co., New York. $3.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF YOUTH. By Edgar James Swift. A New Edition of "Youth and the Race.' Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. $2.50.

The great number of books on sociology and the great number on psychology— especially child psychology-which are being published must be appearing in response to a demand. The publishers are not doing it for exercise. The books on child psychology-like these two-are often conscientious, sensible books, whose authors have not surrendered unconditionally to the most extreme of the Freudian doctrines. But the flood of books on the subject is making each addition seem rather repetitious.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE MENTAL DISORDERS. By Abraham Myerson, M.D. The Macmillan Company, New York. $1.40. Here is a psychologist who can write clearly and simply. This is a brief book on the mental disorders, on psychiatry, and upon the doctrines of Freud, his opponents, his devotees, and his apostates.

He explains, briefly and with apparent fairness, the strength and weakness of Freud, whose teachings, he says, are not understood by one in ten thousand of the folk who glibly repeat his terminology. The German neurologists, writes Dr. Myerson, for the most part reject Freud; the French almost totally do the same; while a small but very eloquent group of English and American neuro-psychiatrists constitute the bulk of his followers.

"These men and women are in the main an honest, cultured, exceedingly, almost painfully, earnest group, seeking to cure the sick and to advance knowledge. But in the periphery of the Freudian movement is a host of the half-baked, seeking the new sensation, and avidly swallowing the erotic phases of psychoanalysis, and there is the inevitable army of the partly respectable seeking to exploit the half-baked."

Politics and Government

THE OUTLAWRY OF WAR. A Constructive Policy for World Peace. By Charles Clayton Morrison, with a Foreword by John Dewey. Willett, Clark & Colby, Chicago. $3.

Dr. Morrison, who is editor of the "Christian Century," puts himself behind Senator Borah's resolutions to outlaw war, still lying unacted upon in the United States Senate, and uses Mr. S. O. Levinson's draft of a proposed international treaty as a basis for proceeding to unite the people of the world against appeals to arms. He points out that the people have never been consulted about engaging in war. Statesmen and rulers have always proceeded without regard to the popular will. Dr. Morrison would have a real world court to deal with provocative problems, such as Mr. Levinson proposes. He sees "a world court adjudicating disputes between nations by the application of law which the nations recognize themselves as law." This, of course, depends upon international willingness-something yet to be brought about. Such a plan would not be one of arbitration but of positive jurisdiction, with a world code that could be enforced. Dr. Morrison observes that "a world court without a world code is not a real court. When such a code is ratified, and not until then, he holds, war will be finally outlawed. The nations, it is needless to say, must

September 7, 1927

bind themselves not to go to war over any kind of dispute.

Miscellaneous

TRISTRAM SHANDY.

By Laurence Sterne. Introduction by Wilbur L. Cross. THE TESTAMENTS OF FRANCOIS VILLON. Translated by John Heron Lepper. THE TRAVELS OF MARCO POLO. Introduction by Manuel Komroff. THE DIALOGUES OF PLATO. Selections from the Translation of Benjamin Jowett. Edited by William Chase Greene. THE PHYSIOLOGY OF TASTE. By BrillatSavarin. Preface by Frank Crowninshield. A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY. By Laurence Sterne. All published in the "Black and Gold Library" by Boni & Liveright, New York. $3.50 each.

These books form part of the "Black and Gold Library," so named from the bindings. With other works, classic and other important books of the past, they are reprinted from standard editions or translations, and presented in handsome format. They make a very desirable collection, and are printed in large, clear type. The introductions, as, for examples, Professor Cross's to "Tristram Shandy" and Mr. Crowninshield's witty preface for "The Physiology of Taste," are an attractive feature.

Notes on New Books

FOOTSTEPS IN THE NIGHT. By C. FraserSimpson. E. P. Dutton & Co., New York. $2. A novel of plot, intrigue, and adventure in present-day England. The author, we surmise, is a woman. She has written a good tale; not too many characters; not too many complications; entertaining, fairly exciting, and plausible.

THE HUMAN BODY. By Trevor Heaton, M.D. E. P. Dutton & Co., New York. $3. Intended as a readable description of the parts of the human body, their functions and diseases. It is exactly that; clearly written, and marked by knowledge and good sense.

TRAGIC MANSIONS. By Mrs. Philip Lydig. Boni & Liveright, New York. $2.50. Gossip about the fashionable families of New York. As they are only mentioned under altered names, it is not very exciting. Even an inveterate reader of the society pages of a Sunday newspaper could hardly get a very big kick out of the book.

STAMMERING

If the stammerer can talk with ease when alone, and most of them can, but stammers in the presence of others, it must be that in the presence of others he does something that interferes with Nature in the speech process. If then we know what it is that interferes, and the stammerer be taught how to avoid that, it must be that he is getting rid of the thing that makes him stammer. That's the philosophy of our method of cure. Let us tell you about it. SCHOOL FOR STAMMERERS, Tyler, Texas.

One of the English shoe factories reports that it has had to adopt special processes to insure squeakiness in new shoes in order to satisfy the Indian trade. It seems that a chief of the Chudasama tribe in India, who orders his shoes from London, by chance received a pair of the squeaky kind. His barefooted subjects were very much impressed by the chief's loud footwear, and now all the other Indian buyers are demanding shoes with a squeak, the squeakier the better.

Noville tells a story about an old Irish sergeant at Dayton, Ohio, who is known as the best parachute folder in the army. Folding a parachute correctly, so that it will break open immediately, is an art. All fliers must make at least one parachute jump a year, and always go to the old sergeant to get him to fold the parachute for them. He invariably tells them, "If this one doesn't work, come back and I'll give you another."

The minister was taking to task one of the younger members of his flock. "Will iam," he said, "I hear that you have been raising false hopes in several maiden hearts.

An analysis of the "situation in China" by a British expert has been reprinted in this country from "one of the big London dailies." It follows:

The report that Gen. Chang Chong Chung had broken off relations with Gen. Chong Chung Chang is now found to be incorrect. Gen. Cheng Chong Chung is still fighting for Gen. Chung Ching Chang, and the General who has broken off relations with Gen. Chong Chung Chang is Gen. Ching Chung Chong not Gen. Chang Chong Chung. Gen. Ching Chung Chong has issued a public statement explaining that the reason he has broken off relations with Gen. Chong Chung Chang is because Gen. Chong Chang Ching has betrayed Gen. Cheng Chang Ching, whereas Gen. Chong Cheng Chang is still paying Gen. Chong Ching Chung a subsidy to prevent any fighting in Gen. Chong Cheng Ching's territory. Gen. Ching Chung Chong has therefore decided to throw in his lot with Gen. Chang Chong Ching and support Gen. Chong Chung Chong in his alliance with Gen. Chung Chong Ching.
