In his latest novel, "Victory" (Doubledny,

A Futurist Novel
Style Is a matter of llttlo Importance
when 'a certain effect la sought. Gertrude
Stein knows this well when she merely
sketches her "Thrco Llvc-s" (John Lane,
New York). There Is a spirit In tho
method with which she tells us of the
lives of three simple souls, and by this
spirit, which comes from an instlnctlvo
feeling toward her subjects. Miss Stein
accomplishes more than sho could by
any rhetorical or academic "style." Take,
for instance, this passage:
"It was very hard for Jeff Campbell
to make ull this way of doing, right.
Inside him. If Jeff Campbell could not
b straight out, and real honest, he never
could bo very strong inside him. Now,
Melantha, with her making him feel, al
ways, how good she was and how very
much sho suffered in him, made him al
ways go so fast then, he could not be
strong then, to feel things out straight
then inside, him. Always now when he
was with her, ho was being more, than
he could already yet, be feeling for her.
Always now, with her, he had something
Inside him always holding In him, always
now, with her, ho was far ahead of his
own feeling."
t .-... IVwo- try to analyze this from tho point
of view of "good English" construction
f It would seem Incomprehensible. But an
alyze It from the viewpoint of effective
ness, character picturo and feeling, and
there can be no doubt of the end accom-
' pllshed. There Is a picture of an emo-
ilonal situation before us which arouses
a dcoper understanding and interest than
could be clone by the very best of con-
1 vcntlonal English.
To tho willing reader of "Three Lives"
each sketch means the acquaintance of
an Intimate life, its passions, emotions,
feelings and happenings. We go through
all the Intimacies of "Good Anna'B" soul.
Physically nnd spiritually sho stands be
fore us unmasked. We see ail her strug
gles with other humans. Her Bimpio
life passes on undramatlcally. with no
events of world-wide Importance to give
us "thrills." We pass with her thiough
the changes which life brings, and finally
It with her In the hospital in her last
Illness. And wo weep when that simple
soul is no more We have known "Good
Anna" In all her human weakness, ind
we have loved her as Miss Stein herself
loved her. .
For "Melantha" and the "Gentle Lena,
Miss Steln'B other sketches, we can say
as much. We are never burdened with
a mass of detail, but when these lives
are over as all lives must be over some
day we have learned to understand pas
sion, feelings and thoughts which vo sel
dom recognize In ourselves, much less In
lhers-
We cannot read these lives without
thinking and sensitive minds. We must
study tho lines, the colors, the directions
and, above all else, the Bplrlt of the
author. The mind must be keen and
alert, For the blur which this futurist
In writing at first creates cannot be clear
ed until we are willing to bring tho
thought and Intelligence to Its Interpre
tation which we needed when examining
"The Nude Descending tho Stairs." Let
us welcome the new art, If It brings such
wealth of simplicity and effectiveness as
Wls Stein has shown In these sketches.

V. Hope, an old sea friend of tho novel
ist The drawing was made arcoidlng to
a minute description given bj Conrad.
Jlr Hope tells that In the early days of
his friendship with Conrad he received
many vIsltR at his home from the author,
at which times Conrad used to read por-
vislon of a problem, victims of the block
ade Imposed because a Chinese pcrvnnt
had accommodatingly gone down with

Miss Warwick has given a clever
demonstration of her power of plot con
trivance and disentanglement of a com
plicated "situation"; she h.is written
fcrvldb. oven fiercely, with driving pas
sion about her unlovely personages, of
whom only the Injured husband emerges
with nny dlgnltv; given hei factitious
premises alio has written convincingly;
but her book Is unpleasant, unwholesome.
About Fathers and Mothers
Felix says If there are so many wise
books about the child there ought to be
at least one about fathers and mothers,
and so "Felix Tells It." Lucy Pratt, au
thor of "nzeklel," has arranged "Felix
Tells It" (D. Appleton & Co.) Into a dozen
simple yet rather startling Incidents, told
by a grave ten-year-old boy, who deter
mines to tell things about fathers and
mothers that are really true. With no
attempt to analjze or philosophize. Felix
points out .ome sorry parental faults by
slmpl telling of things that 1 rally hnp
pen. Misunderstanding parents who bruise
their children's souls by rushing into
dreams and fancies and little hopes with
suspicious feet aro clearly depicted.
And there Is an Innocent broadside fling
at those confusing unjust futhcia and
mothers who criticise and scold and com
mand out of sheer Iirltnhlenesa and for
no reason that their children can under
stand. Felix has a sly thot for his father's
vanities and his mother's Inconsistencies;
a shot that might well go homo In many
a parental breast.
Several of his chapters are pathetic,
and one or two of them are droll. The
Mother of the Big Family Is n lovely
touch, and Peaty, a heroic llttlo ragamuf
fin, gives the little boy's tale a sturdy
groundwork.
The childish dignity of stylo In "Felix
Tells It" is uninuo nnd appealing, though
ir Is Fomctlmes a bit labored, and the
repetitions might become tiresome were
It not for the persistent truth and pur
pose of tho child's motive.
Seeing the
Unknown Country
To the man and woman with healthy
Ideals, the old-time religion's conception
of heaven as a city paved with pearl and
people with angels twanging harps Is
more tiresome than alluring. Conlngsby
Dawson, who emerged from comparative
obscurity with "The Garden Without
Walls" not long ago, offers those who
detest harps and had rather tread grass
than pearl, a charming paradise, o lovely
broad, green country, for their heaven, In
hlB little book, "The Unknown Country
(Hearst's International Library Com
pany). There Is an unusunl ethereal tone In
the whole story. The love element Is
built upon the lave of a man for his lit
tle sister. The girl Is misty, unreal, and
the man tells of their sacred beautiful
dayB together as though he had dreamed
them. When the girl goes away from
him Into the Unknown Country, she
seems to take her brother's spirit with
her. and presently he Is permitted to
follow her, to spend one day there, one
day in the Unknown Country, where he
discovers a beautiful secret: that "when
men's bodies go to sleep, their souls
cross the border to the Unknown Coun
try, and recover all they have lost, and
gain all they have hoped for that Is
best."
The little book has been written care
fully and with conscious delicacy. It Is

Some pages from the mid-career of
Allan Quartermaln, Macumozahn. the

narrative, called by 11. Hlder Haguird
"Allan and the Holy Flower" (Longmnns,
Green & Co., New York). On ovcry
page Is nn adventure. In every adventuro
a thrill.
Sir Illder has not been Bparlng of Im

richly nnd rcpletoly romantic experiences
of his famous hero. Incident is piled on
Incident, glowing description outvies de

sweep of their development credibility Is

peculiar traits of narration familiar to
readers of "She." "King Solomon s
Mines" nnd tho long list of Quartermaln

which, curiously enough, had tn deal with
the beginning of Mncumazahn's career.
Llttlo actualizing Items of detail, obvious
surety In matters of local color, unex
pectedly apt characterizing touches, the
quaint delicious philosophy of men of

"Are We Ready?"
H. D. Wheeler an author of "Are We
Iledy?" (Houghton Mifflin Company,
Boston) harbors no Illusions as to tha Im
munity of tho United States from attnek
by a powerful foreign adversary, nor does
ho mince words In warning tho country
of Its alarming state of unprcparedness
for such a catastrophe.
With n swift pen ho pictures the dis
aster of a great war; the defeat of tho
American fleet, landing of troops on
American soil, confusion nnd panic In
our Inadequate system of defense, defeat
of our meaRre army, nnd tho Inevitable
capture of New York city.
