"An American Poilu"
Interesting Letters From a
Soldier of France
?v IMBRICAN POILU. .44 paires. Price
5;; ... ?? IV :: A Co
Written by a young American in his
?thirties, these letters are rich in de
geriptive beauty and revelations of
_ sensitive personality voluntarily
brought into contact with the realities !
0{ trench warfare.
While serving as an orderly in a
hosp'-'-l at Neuilly the author met and
beca:*:--' attached to a young French
captain of infantry. The friendship
resulted in the American's application
for permission to enter the French
ranki as s poilu. This permission was
finally obtained. Attached to the com?
pany of which his friend was captain.
t_e yoang American took part in the
battles of Soissons and -.'hatean
Thierry, was decorated with the Croix
lie Guerre and received a second cita?
tion* .
Until his enlistment with tne V renca
?rn*.v he never had taken part in mili
t?ry drill and was totaily unacquainted
with the handling of machines of war.
These letters to his mother and sister
are printed as written, without edit- |
ing, an? *'*re marked with a beauty of ;
express'*-"1" and thought above the av- j
crage. Evidently a man of birth and j
brf??i:iii*r. keenly appreciative of the
beautiful in art and nature, and sen- j
Bitixe to the changes war made in the j
jives of men, he has written a seizes of !
letter-pictures as exquisitely and '
poignantly illuminating as the light of
a star shell.
Never docs his telling become mor?
bid or gloomy, for a delicate humor
runs through the most serious pas?
sages p.'.d enlivens the horrors he must
recount.
"It'i touching a**d amusing:," he
writes, "the way soldiers occupy them?
selves in spare times. 1 write letters

into the mind of a child who thinks !
he is merely hearing a story. ?

THK (RICKF.T By Marjorie Benton
Cooke. Illustrated. ,'77 puces. Price
$1.50. Doubled.?.; Paffe 4 Co.
Marjorie Benton Cooke herewith !
stands accused of having taken up a
reactionary pen and immortalized the
uecidedly human and terrifyinglj
truthful Isabelle for the express eye
opening of those conventionally good
people who still believe children are
brought by long-legged birds and,
once arrived, are conspicuous by their
good behavior.
From the time Isabelle intruded into
the social activities of Wally Bryce
and his wife, thereby bringing upon
them all the inconveniences of unwel?
come parenthood, to the day she coolly
married Larry O'Leary, an irresistible
Irish soldier, she insistently and ag?
gressively made life a round of event?
ful mishaps. Beginning, at the age
o? four, by accepting with glowing en?
thusiasm the description of barbarians
?s gi%-en by Mis? Wilder, an irate and
overwrought governess ? consisting
mainly in the statement that they
were savage creatures with no man?
ners, no morals, no clothes even- -Isa?
belle takes life at its face value.
Forced into a birthday party with
"prissy little brats," whom she char?
acterizes as the pink-sashed kind, Isa?
belle takes upon her self the em?
bellishments?or lack of them- -per?
taining to the scourged barbarians,
and drops into the party clothed as
Miss Wilder states savages are.
Perhaps our sense of humor is per?
verted, but we laugh uproariously at
the picture Miss Benton draws with a
few words. Perhaps, remembering our
own rebellious infancy, we laughed
louder and longer than the early
morning diners in our favorite French
pastry shop thought a lady ought.
Rut there had been a time between
the na?vet? of five and the sophistica?
tion of six when, like Isabelle, we had
taken literally the description given by
a governess, and with our loins girded
in a bath towel had invaded the sanc?
tity of drawing room coffee with the
announcement that we were John the
Baptist. An announcement which, like
Isabelle's entry, was met with the
silent horror of our parents and the
embarrassed amusement of our pa?
rents' guests.
Perhaps u is this knack of striking
art lagous chords in th mature mem?
ory of all adult beings which will insure
the success of "The Cricket." Making
no attempt to apologize for Isabelle'.,
atrocious misbehavior, which some?
how brings a guilty grin of enjoyment
to the reader, Miss Cooke depicts a
healthy child v. ho develops a keen wit
and ready repartee in order to cope
with the spasmodic interest of two
wholly inefficient and inadequately
equipped parents,
And more gratitude to Miss ( ooke
in that she doe.-, not sentimentalize
over a child left to servants chosen by
telephone, neglected by a butterfly
mother who is frankly without a spark
of materia! feeling, and adored by a
father who means well but just can'!.
Between Wall,. Bryce and hia irreprea
ible daughter there is a good fellow
ihip of feeling that has. In it much
of amaxomont on Wally's part ami no
rev crenee on li abolle' For her
mother the girl consistently manifesta
?i pleasant tolerance and a complete
indifference That VYullj, um) hi? wife
are rather fond of each other and have
no unpleasant affairs common);
i ni?mi-,i to paople of their ein is is an
other mark of Miss i 'ookc'a departure
: ."?i (he II 1UU
Vlnrjorio Benton < ooke vv? i at ? i
(.?me n tiii'in?l??i:i't. ?She learned the
valu?' of subtleties of meaning gained
by few words nnd implied rather in
what was left unsaid than by what v.as
expressed. In "The Cricket" she uses
this knowledge to advantage, and the
book is an ensemble of clever, mirth
provoking lines, readable and in
liilarating.
From the child-beginning to the
grown-up end Miss Cooke depicts in
Isabelle an inordinately ?lever being,
who has a comfortably human skill for
getting into trouble. Ruining the first
night for a popular actor-manager who
ha3 been beguiled into giving the girl
a part in his play, dashing into the
wrong stateroom -an error discovered
only because she slipped getting into the
the upper berth and landed on what was
obviously a mustache and becoming
involved in an affair with a poiiu
v. hum she adopted as a godson these
are but a few of the accidents which
happen to Isabelle Bryce. The final
denouement of the story, with the
coming of Larry O'Leary ?a as
fresh and enjoyable as labelle herself.
Altogether, "The Cricket" is like an
unexpected cocktail at a church supper.

"VI RSE BENSON." Ily .lii'tin Hiintlv
Miinrilit. .(oliit Lane Company. 'MiC pp.
Pri?e 81.30.
A novel based on the play by Justin
Huntly McCarthy and R. C. Carton,
which has passed its three hundredth
performance in London. The author is
less successful in his dcaline with
men and women of to-day than in his
treatment of media! val celebrities,
Francois Villon, for instance, ami his
contemporaries. The heroine. Lady
j Gillian Dunsmore, rich, bore?! and
capricious, succumbs to a violent at?
tack of sentimental hero worship,
! brought on by the accounts of the
charms and bravery of Captain Tib
benham, V. C. Brooke Stanway, a dis?
couraged suitor, rudely declines to ar?
range a meeting with his attractive
friend, but chance permits Lady Gil?
lian to impersonate Nurse Benson at
the wounded hero's bedside. While at
his home she also aids in thwarting
the schemes of a pair ?if adventurers,
the Bay Marrisons. Meanwhile, of
course, propinquity works the usual
spell.
The book contains two confirmed
bores, Lord Messiger, Lady Gillian's
uncle, an elderly enthusiast on food
?? nservation, and the classic tiutler,
Smeeton. Without the inclusion of
two such types as the choleric aristo
er t and the confidential servant no
novel about life in England would pre?
sumably be complete, but the employ?
ment of that other well worn formula,
Ci" struggles of one of the characters
with the letter h, has ceased to be even
mildly amusing. K. \V.

If Buck Summers Had left ;
, liana University this coming mid?
summer, and thereafter tackled the
serious business of success in Chi?
cago, Stewart's breezy and live story
might never have been writ.
For Buck, be it noted, achieves his
initial ?mpetu, in the Empire Buffet,
where, according to the chronicler, "he
got around regularly t?> his place at
the far corner of the bar and drank
ginger-ale while he imbibed American
history at its headquarters. For
had started out to find what the
world was really made of a line <<'
research not down in the curriculum
of the university. Finding tho Era
pire Buffet n great source of bona-tide
?, h" had cultivated its ad
vantages and I rial . added the lecture
I m ?e Mr?' : ? ? emular rol
lepe course." Jimmie Brent, bar?
tender, had, it appears, "known two
governors and any number of rising
statesmen, all of whom had come
under his ken as they worked their
way upward, climbing the ladder of
the American saloon."
All of which influenced the wide?
awake Buck to such a degree that he
eventually becomes a furniture mover,
ringmaster in an amateur circus, and
inventive genius behind the Eureka
Sanitary Biscuit Cutter-guaranteed
not to stick to the doughy Buck's
own humor, coupled with Stewart's
sense of t!ie ridiculous even in an
automatic elevator anil a sound-proof
apartment, tend to make the story
one of sustained interest; but in spite
of the young man's phenomenal suc?
cess, due in no small degree to his
own wit and originality, there's that
rub of a saloon-start.
And though the prohibitionist would
point hopefully to Buck's predilection
for ginger-ale, there stands the in?
controvertible fact that the mind's
from which Buck learned the A B C'a
of success were fed on stronger stuff.

II. Doran Compati]-. SUO pnf?es. Prie?
$1.60.
This is a capital detective story,
combining thrills, mystery, suspense
and an ingeniously sustained plot.
The guilt for the murder of a belle of
British army life in India, who finally
became the bride of an elderly suitor.
is cleverly tossed about between a
canny Scotch butler, a shrewd French
maid, a dashing British army officer
and a handsome gypsy poacher. Sus?
picion even rests for a time upon the
uxorious husband. Of course, a gim?
let-eyed detective flits noiselessly
hither and yon on the trail of clews.
But instead of a hardened criminal his
chief opponent in the game of question
and answer is the gospel-eyed niece of
the victim's husband. To give the
name of the real culprit would be un?
fair. It should be left for the reader.

Tlie process of the acquirement o'
a great fortune is often so absorbing
that while it frequently causes the
death of all the softer virtues in the
heart of the adventurer in the realm of
high finance its very exactions may
? it. is not inevitable- prove a blessing
to him. But the spending of the fort?
une is so generally the cause of the
decay of the moral fibre of the second
gene rat ion that when the son of a rich
man does actually show sumo stamina
and publie spirit it is the subject of
congratulatory comment.
Mr. McKenna has hardly given us a
pleasant picture. Lancing and his son
are splendid character studies, but they
laj almost no claim t?? the reader's
sympathy. The hook is bo well done,
however, and contains such sound
psychology thai it will take a high
place among this season's novels.

'??r:,h CnniNtork d?i : not attempt to
.!??' icJc hei'sol f and the public into be
lir-ving tii,--! tin- girl ni to day, restless
and eager for an opportunity for self
development, will find it in a profes
on or bti line : ? only. This ?s t he ?fis
t meine feature which lifts "The Val?
ley of Vision" above the majority of
novels which attempt to portray the
so-called new woman. This, and the
fact that Sarah Comstock herself
served a long and patient apprentice?
ship in studying her craft, her world,
and the people in it. and then has set
about in a leisurely and unhurried way
to write a book that shall have merit
in character, structure, and presenta?
tion of an idea which lias grown from
her observation and thought.
Only her second nove!, this one is a
mile post along a road to real achieve?
ment. Laying her story in Banbury,
as narrow a New Kngland village as
ever had a main street and conducted
itself precisely as it had for genera
tions past, Sarah Comstock depicts
the desperate struggle a 2"irl make., to
break away from tradition and conserv?
atism, and to live according to her own
, ideas of greatest usefulness.
It i? significant that to Hachaliah
Warren, whose life has been devoted
to dreams of a son and an active cam?
paign to prevent any progr?s-; or
change which shall interrupt the se?
date regularity of life in Banbury, i
is born a daughter at the precise mo?
ment when the first locomotive tears
through Bandbury's conservatism.
' From the moment that Hachaliah looks
down into "a pair of dark, defiant orbs
which seem to challenge him with a
1 dozen challenges, that dare him to
chart a path for his daughter, to
hinder her. to impose Warren prece?
dents upon her. and finally to question
her supreme right to he a girl." the
| two clafeh openly and aggressively.
Not only does Marcia meet with the
misunderstanding of her mother and
father, but fron-, childhood to woman?
hood she faces the opposition of every
narrow mind of Elm Street old resi?
dential Banbury. Regarded as queer
firsl because she doesn't cry as a
baby, then because she has a fellow
feeling for t!.?- factory worker.* in
Hill Hollow, and finally because she
'wants to become a nurse this girl in
; whom Sarah Comstock embodies the
best of twentieth century womanhood'
makes her fight, fares her disappoint?
ments, acknowledges her shortcom?
ings and keeps an optimistic and
steady rein on her inclinations.
Against the early developed sex
consciousnes? of Lola Dodsworth, who
was taught to believe "that babies
come in tin* heart of a rose," Sarah
Comstock draws the pure immaturity
of Marcia Warren, whose awakening is
slow but whose vision is never dis?
torted bj false illusions. Vaguely
? conscious that Rieh Goodrich is dearer
to her than any one else, yet failing to
reali;-.( the sweeping power of ii<? r love
until Rich has married Lola. Marcia
faces the biggest problem of her devel?
opment. Rich himself has always loved
?lier, and this knowledge, coupled with
?wrings from Marcia is untrue to him,
.wring from' Marcia the yearning plea
: that she an?) Rich "have a right to
life together"?that there must surely
be some way to work this out.
Lrotn this point on Sarah ComstoJ?k's
writing is little short of a triumph in
honest, clear handling of fundamental
j truths. She makes no mistake of
achieving a happy ending by allowing
circumstance to bring the two '. ves
and loves together. Marcia has hp..i
to work out her own salvation to this
point. Sarah Comstock makes her go
on with it.
The book is one that deserves a high
place in the modern novels of to-day
and the ma ?or characters in it are
skilfully and truthfully drawn X. M.

SO ALL SPAIN THRILLS AT THE BULL-FIGHT
Blood and Sand
By VICENTE BLASCO IBANEZ
Author of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
Introduction by Dr. ISAAC GOLDBERG. Net, $1.90.
BLASCO IBANEZ gathers all tho elements of Spain's most sensational
institution?the bull ring?into one thrilling story, reaching a climax
of tremendous force. The reader actually sees and hears the fitfht in
the arena and ?sways with the excitement of the crow?!.
The New York llrraLi says: " 'Blood and Sand' is quit" certain to be
much callfd for this summer. That it will also be caller, for daring
many years to come. I make no doubt, for it is a complete exposition
of an enduring phase of Spanish life and character that is very little
understood her". . . . The whole thing seems astounding to
American readers, for no actor, preacher, or politi? ian
?to name the materials from which popular idols are f
can ever hope to attain the heights on which the Spai tador
dwells so long as his nerve does not falter or his ha
ning."
