We go backward for a space to

tn Indiscreet, but she was helped by

man whoso occasional visions were con

rice horses and n few other matters
notoriously associated with the sudden

helpful, psychic, should drift out of
rtie.book without more of an explana
tion. A number of the characters In the
story were tolerant, notably Minnie
rJooderlch, whose Ufo of adventure was
'lullo fortunato; Mrs. Wllfley, tho
Journalist, who lived In Clifford's Inn
and wrote looks and fashions and ad
.ertlscments: Mr. ailflllan, the pro
moter, who carried Minnie off to tho
"continent," and Capt. Briscoe, the
Krcnch mariner, who married Minnie.
We notlco that the story places Clif
ford's Inn !n tho Strand. Years ago
It stood In Fleet street, east of
Chancery Lane. Goodness knows what
has happened slnco the small but re
ipectcd barrier of Tetnp'.o Bar was
pulled down, but Clifford's Inn ought
at least to have been permitted to
remain pretty close to tho Cheshire
Cheese. In other days the Cock Tav
ern would have gone, to the rescue If
rttempt had been made to slldo Clif
ford's Inn away from its venerable
foundations.
It Is unpleasant to hear Mr. Julius
Vito talking at pago 112. Mr. Fife Is
a fitting character; he Is gone in a
little while, and wo may be thank
ful that he does not return; but better
still If he had not come at all. There
is subtlety In the understanding that
Is brought about when ailflllan takes
Minnie to dinner. But this young
woman throughout Is distinctly curious.
Sho had small powers of speech, a
respect wherein she differed widely
from GUflllan. If she did not have
language she understood it; notice her
rustling the bank notes In GUfllUn's
sumptuous yet tasteful office. It Is
astonishing that she should have gone
plump to Mrs. Gaynor with her frank
confession regarding herself and GU
flllan. Mrs. Gaynor, however, was
qualified to hear nny sort of revela
tion with considerable composure. Min
nie's mother was the only one who
took In the matter In the old fash
ioned romantic way. Was Mrs. Gay
nor's genius subliminal? Was her In
fluence catalytic? The story says that
her genius nnd her Influence were
of this sort. It may be that the reader,
knowing so much, will be qualified to
understand Mrs. Gnynor.
Tho story takes us to Ruen, where
we make the acquaintance of Capt.
Briscoe, and to sea. Little Hannibal,
who saw his father drowned In the
brook, becomes the central figure. Wo

The overrunning of N'ew England by

startling phenomenon of recent years

of writers of fiction. The rlso of a
l'oltsh family ln a rural community
Is described by Edith Mlnlter In Our

wholly kindly. The point of view Is
that of the Amerlcnn lookeron who
is Ignorant of and not Interested In

brutal, grasping, leatlng and maltreat

I ho makes his land pay. Tho woman
I Is merely a bearer of children and a
beast of burden. Tho citreer tit each

become Americanized Is described. Tho
oldest son has the pioneer Instinct; he
' works ln n factor' and saves money,

year so as to enter Harvard, which is

removes him almost completely from

adventures crowd so thickly that the
reader becomes confused; It looks as
though the author wcro trying to heap

fondness for splashes of Impression

the sleighing, the fiddling, and the dancing as seen through
the eyes of a boy of ten. The impressions as written seem like
transcriptions caught somehow as they streamed through this
boy's mind, and they are expressed in a style as pungent and
fresh as the boy-language of all the world.
"The feel of grass under us, the sensation of mud
squeezing up through bare toes, the taste of fruit, the
exhilaration of running and yelling, the joy of vacation,
the length of a day, the smell of a wild flower . . .
this vividness of sensation is what Mr. Showerman hu
got into his book." New York. Times.

The strong religious tendency which
o orteh distinguished his work has
brought forth the question ns to What
church the artist belongs. His reply la
that he belongs to none, but was brought
up a Catholic, and his wife a Protestant,
and the differences which In later life
severed each from their early teaching
caused them to meet on common ground.
