M w ,kh What Women Want Van feminists ot loday knotf far less -in what they want than Beatrice Halo w her book, entitled "What Women whl" (Frederick Stokes Company, New XnM Many feel Vnguo Impulses toward freedom from the ancient sex slavery, but V,w voco these Bcntlments so W6I1 ns Mrs. jfl, jjer book Is born, not from .tha jiaa .torts of ft propagandist, but from tho niiunal processes or a well-balanced ind Sho champloils a cause too great tnr one sex alone, a causo which needs )? energies of man and -woman. Her Ideas fit tho gentto words ot Edward Car renter, who says: vha trio fated: the man, tho woman, aiyl tho AtiA SerSn all creation, Experienced In an absolutely normal life of wife and mother, nlong with her artis tic (raining as an actress, writer and a speaker, Mrs. Halo Is so normal In her outlook on tho whole unrest of woman and of man that it Is hard to Imagine her Ideas ns being questioned by oven tho most rabid anil-feminist. She speaks tho language that every thinking lay woman must Ulldcrsiana, uniccimicai nnu unsci nttflc, and sees deep Into tho future lives jf men and women. "It Is lime that man and 'women to gether bent their efforts to building up life, Instead of wealth. It la tlmo that our'senso of values changed, so that tho child may bocomp moro Important than a machine and n. gardon m'oro necessary than a skyscraper. It Is tlmo that tho world's greatest regard should ba given to him who serves best, not to him who most successfully compotes. "I do not pretend that tho Infusion of women Irtto tho world's affairs will In stantly have thlsjrcsult. There aro plenty of selfish and right women, many who aro grasping and greody; thero aro no1 virtues in women BUperlor to tlioss found jn men. " Such words como from n person who believes in humanity. In men, women, children, science, art and economics nd not In tho one-sided curo-all of any of these activities. Such a pejson dreams, but not unreasonably; hopes, but not without foundation. One of tho most satisfying portions of the book Is that In wlllch sho dovotes time and thought to tho "Now Jinn," An eager reador, believing In tho necessity for tho sexes to work together1; may read much Into tho book, but no ono can fall to see that In Mrs. Halo's mind there li a conception ot a -inow Man' as won as a "Now Woman." Tho latter docs pot gain everything at tho expense of the man but for, his ultimata good as well. If only ho so wished. "Llko a second Adam, ho Is faced with the presenco of a newly created being, and with tho problem of how to deal with her. While tho old-faahlned man continues to obtain from woman the superficial graces ha demands, tho new man gives tho highest, asks tho highest In return and wins It." Like tho greatest champion of the Children's Age, Ellen Key, Mrs. Halo believes that from tho new woman will come tho now child not only physically Improved by tho new status of woman, "Nwhlch looks upon motherhood as a great and natural process Instead, of sentimen tal disgrace, but mentally as well, be cause of tho wider horizon of women. Instinctive motherhood Is not necessarily universal, and If a mother finds herselt without It, sho Is not ashamed. Indi vidual talents are found in the world of motherhood as well as In tho other pro fessions, and it la rot to Imagino that all women mako good cooks, good mothers, or even good wives. Feminism must allow for theso talents, but , " underneath theso surface fluc tuations tho deep racial needs of women ' remain the same. They are three. A few women .need only ono; some need two, but tho great mass need all three love, children and work." Such thoughts as theso aro rare In cur rent literature. And decidedly (Jharacter ittlo of tho wholo book Is this apprecia tion of the growth of humanity, through the growth of women. Bigger- women mean bigger men, children, homes, pur poses. Two Love Incubators ' "Just a little love incubator, a-hatchlng cut lovo all tho time," Is Cherub, the wee heroine of Helen S. Woodruff's latest book, "The Little House" George H. Doran Company). Scarcely less of a lovo Incubator Is old Aunt Caroline, though of moro ample proportions. Tho theme Is love in its sweetest guise, that of a. little girt who welds parted loves. The reader experiences moro than once that rare sensation of a lUmp-clogged throat, due entirely to the thrilling beauty of the tale. Little Cherub, proporly christened Doro thy, Is a Yankee-born child, daughter of a Southern girl who eloped 'to wed her Northern sweetheart. This disrupted her family, driving her inottfer mad and es tranging the fiery old"'Southern Colonel, her father. But the little child led them, and love and peace were restored. Probably some will say that the. picture ot the old Southern darky Is overdrawn. But It Is not. The Negro parson, who runs away with one of the sisters, taking all the church funds; the little pickaninny,, the old mammy, and the typical old butler are a)l true to life, to say nothing of a rich and amusing exposition of the darkey superstitions. An excellent sidelight on tho Negro problem Is contained In this grapblo state ment; "We emancipate a race that Is no more able to take care of itself than a. child Is, and when temptation comes and a. memper or it rails, we uiamo tnem rainer wan ourselves." A. Cape, Cod Comedy The latest story by Joseph C. Lincoln ("Kent Knowles: 'Quahaug'," D. Apple Ion & Co., New York) Is more of a novel than any of Us predecessors, but this difference In construction-has had no ef fect on the humorous quality which marks nil of his writing. Ono could apeak, In this connection, of tho "Lln colnlan humor," but that tho term hns been pre-empted by another Lincoln. There Is, however, a bit of similarity be tween the two brands! both are Indige nously American and both are of tho nat ural, spontaneous kind. But tho humdr of Joseph C. Is all his own, and thoso who have read his previous books know what to expect In "Kent Knowles." Thoso who haven't had that delightful experience might welt begin with this story. Thoy wilt find Capo Codders, of course, with all their homely wit and commonense, but this tlmo the tali goes abroad, oven to a Parisian cabaret, "Quahaug" Is tho Capo Codders' nlck namo for Knowles, a writer of books who has como among them and lives with a genial old maid relative named Hepzlbah. "Quahaug" Is "clam." Its application Is fitting. The process by which Knowles crawls out of his shell Involves a trip nbroad, n lovo affair and much else, and when he comes back to America ho brings a wife. In poor lodg ings In London ho and his old-maid trav eling companion find tho girl, tho daugh ter of a man who had taught hor that Hepzy'a family had swindled him out of aforttine. Sho demands her rights. Tho truth Is, her embezzling father had wrecked tho fortune of Hcpzy's father. And Knowles and Hcpzy keep tho secret and take her out Into tho country for her health. She hates them nnd draws largely on tho mythical funds which sho expects to bo restored to her. Finally bIio has to be told tho truth, and then sho runs away to Paris. The story is, well worked out and Is effectively told There is as much story as humor. Tho author has como oft with flying colors from his most ambitious ef fort in fiction. Tho book Is of additional Interest from tho fact that it strongly contrasts Eng lish and American customs find Ideas. Vaudeville as It Is Vaudeville as an art may seem a non existent entity to "high-brows" who em ploy such language. As a matter of fact, thoro Is as much of tho artistic method needed In "getting It across" to a variety audienco as In any other occupation where a human must bring another human Into tuno with his mood. Other people besides Carollno Caffin Tiavo noted this, but none has set It down so con vincingly as sho has dono In "Vaudevlllo" (Mltchel Kennerloy, New York). In tho various chapters of her book sho has grouped soma hundred performers under heads as dlvcrso and ns interesting ns "Tho Forco of Personality, "Marvels of Strength and Daring" and "Music and Near-Music." Tho description and an alysis of each one's "act," tho location of Just the thing that distinguishes It, Is really remarkably keen. As if Miss Coffin hadn't supplied plenty of stimulus and amusement, tho publisher has scattered through the volume almost CO caricatures by de Zayas that aro in tholr own way quite as subtle an'analysts. A Woman's Idol A llfo made beautiful and useful after a first and grievous fall Is the themo of Richardson Wright's novel, "Tho Open Door" (MoBrlde, Nast & Co.), "Go tho wholo was; or go not at all either go on and on until the blttor be comes sweet, as It docs, I assure you; or else rectify tho mistake at the very be ginning." This Is tho advice that Kitty Flint gives a friend, a young married woman, and it reveals tho secret of her life. Kitty Flint snatched her life from ruin and dedicated It to others. There Is pathos and some of the Irony of llfo In tho fact that sho bestows so much of her love upon the son of her old sweet heart and partner In sin, whose Imago sho keeps ever In her heart. Kitty Flint's front door was never locked she feared that her love might return and find the way barred. Tho years passed, and he never came until one Christmas Day, and then her heart broke, maybe of Joy. The scene of the plot Is laid In a Penn sylvania town and the life of the village Is well portrayed. A notable feature of the' book Is the rare and wholesome humor that runs throughout. In tech nique the work Is masterful. El Dorado Tfin,. nfit Int.nJ . hba ,1ia VatinmH.

American (Review begins the celebration of Its centenary, and Colonel Harvey stands aside this month to let tho Review speak for Itself which It does after & flashing fashion not unfamil iar to Its readers of recent years. "We are no lady," It begins, "either In conceivably perfect or more agreeably human; so wo frankly confess our age; we are 1W years old. and still single. Not that we have not been the recipient of proposals; far from It; wo have received many offers of periodical matrimony from other like Institutions whose Intentions were manifestly honorable; but. alas! none seemed to be fitting or advanta geous; Invariably tho prpponent was too young or too frivolous. Our solitary parent. tb.e Monthly Anthology, too, was unwed, buK tlmt Is a point In the family record upon which, naturally, In common with Abel, we care not to dwell, especially since, although by no means as young as we used to be, we cannot feel certain that we have yet reached the age ot Indiscretion." "The Story of Our Navy" William 0. Stevens' book. "The Story of Our Navy" (Harper Ss Brothers, New York), Is an Inspiring account of the American sea forces from their very mod est beginnings to their present Imposing strength. Tho 315 pages of this most In teresting narrative are filled with brim ming stories of our struggles on the high eeas; how. against seemingly Insurmount able odds, we finally have risen to tho place among nations where today we de jnand respect. The author Is professor of English at the United States Naval Academy and evidently has made a roost thorough study of the subject. His story Is fasclnatlntr, and well calculated to stir patrlotlo thoughts. The tllsutratlons are works ot tho printers' art. and a more valuable chronicle of tho navy's growth would be difficult to And. Students seeking1 knowl edge should avail themselves of this book. It Is a story that olds the interest from coyer to cover. The Kaiser An Intimate view of Knlser Wllhelm 6t Germany, his strength altd his weakness, both ns o man nnd an emperor, Is given In "The Knlser" (Doubloday, Pago & Company), edited by Asa Don Dickinson. Tho hook Is a compilation, tho contribu tors being selected from a wide field of both friend nnd foe to tho Fatherland. It Is admirably edited and the varying opinions nro blended Into an excellent treatise upon tho "Most Interesting man In Burope." Every phase of the Emperor's person ality la dcnlt with, hi sfolblcs, his llttto vanities, his proclivities for much-speaking nnd preaching, his belief that "noth ing must happen In tho world without tho consent of Germany," his Inordinate lovo of being photographed, and hlfl clinging hold on tho old theory of dlvlno right all aro treated In convincing man ner. None tho less forcefully la presented the Kaiser's strength ot character nlid his stern regard for truth and right. He takes tho "king business" seriously, we nro told, nnd ho works hard at It. Ger many first Is his 'motto. This Is carried to the degreo that he drinks only German wines. On this score he onco remon strated with tho great Blsmarcjt, who Tcpllcd that his patriotism did not extend to his stomach. Some of tho chroniclers are disposed to explain mnny of tho seemingly tdlo boasts of the Kaiser with tho statement that they aro mndo when ho Is Intoxicated; this Is denied. How over, thero Is no dispute ot the Justness of tho title of "William, tho Indiscreet." Tho Kaiser Is assailed for his notable declaration In 1902 that "Now another emplro has arisen. The 'German pcoplo has onco moro an emperor ot Its own choice With tho sword on tho field of battle has tho crown been won." Not withstanding Ills weaknesses, tho Kaiser Is described ns a man of power. It Is pointed out, supported by statistics of tho vest expansion commercially that has taken placo under his rolgn, that no other country has shown such marvelous growth. Tho great work of tho Emperor now Is building a navy commensurate In strength with his army, tho most powerful In tho world. His ambition Is or was beforo tho presont war to bo lord of tho seas as well as of tho land. ,' At this time the book la particularly Interesting, and It Is ono of tho most comprohenstvo and Instructive treaties to bo found. The Changing Drama Books on tho drama nro as thick ns leaves In spring. Every week brings a now one. But It really Is a now ono; that Is tho hopeful thing in all this multitudinous writing about tho theatre. Each book seizes on some fresh anglo of this vnst vnnd changing question of public amusement. ' Ono of tho nowest bears tho significant tltlo, "Tho Changing Djama," and en deavors to think In a sstcmatlc man ner about all that Is happening to tho plays, playwrights and theatres of civilization. Naturally it leaves out of consideration tho greatest thing that has yet happened to them, tho war. Our books have not yet caught up, and tho effect of European conflict on tho drama will bo some years In developing. Archibald Henderson, author of "The Changing Drama," wroto an amazing nnd highly Interesting compendium of Bernard Shaw. Tho present book Is as varied and complete. A fow chapter hendlngs give an Idea of this: Drama In tho Now Age, Sclenco and tho New Drama, The Play and tho Reader, The Battle With Illusions. Dilittante Depreciations Even these days of specialization bring forth occasional literary dllettants. B. Russel Herts In his "Depreciations" (Al bert nnd Charles Boni, N. Y.) can hardly be inllcd anything else. Not only does the little volume of a few hundred pages cover a wide field of thought, but it can not ovon be sajd to do so with any great uniqueness -or stylo. Any of us might have had Just such Interesting thought on many subjects, and most any of us might have written them down with equal success. There nro many sugges tions of original thinking, but thoy nre vague, and when you consider that Mr. Herts thinks upon all subjects from "The Import of the Superficial" to "A Visit to G. K. C," you enn hardly expect him to touch great depths on any one. Ho ap parently lives up to his belief In super ficialities. In tho end all we can say la that Mr. Herts has a mind which skims round on great potentialities, otters sug gestions to other minds and fills In many evident gaps with epigrams. The author himself feels that his book may bo only a pln-prlck. We are Inclined to agree with him or, perhaps, even think It less valuable. The New Books A Hit o hooka received for riiuj.
