A Bit of Blue Grass KIl.DARKS OF 8TORJI. Rllen Merceln Kelly. Century Company, New York. ,From the Blue Grass region of Kentucky to the, crowded thoroughfares of New Vork, and even to the gates of Paris Itself, Ellen Merceln Kelly leads the characters of her latest story, "Klldares of Storm." Vital, vl!d personages are these products, of a semlbarbarlc clvlllxatton, whose deeds and thoughts. If lacking In conventionality and sometimes trending suspiciously close to themes 'on which polite society Is wont to draw a discreet veil, are nevertheless thor oughly Interesting as well as original. It Is modern, up-to-date Kentucky which the author, herself a native of Maryland, but apparently well acquainted with the main locale of her romance, pictures. The cen tral character, Kate Klldare, a big, beauti ful, perennially youthful and fascinating woman, "a woman with a past," has two daughters of widely differing temperaments, and the loe affair of one of the latter Is little more strenuous than that of the highly efficient owner and manager of a plantation called "Storm." By Conlngsby Dawson SLAVKS OF FREEDOM. By Conlnrabr Dawson. Henry Holt & Co.. New York. "Slaves of Freedom" Is a novel which strikes at women who value theattentlon of men only for the pleasure that It brings them, not as the means to a richer life. The heroine Is willing to receive everything that Teddy gives her or Is pleased when he follows her across the ocean to America and finds her greatest happiness In his presence. Yet she Is unwilling to bind herself to him by anything which may compromise her freedom. He, on the other hand, Is so fas cinated by her that he becomes her slave temporarily, to the detriment of his pro fession. The greatest value of the book lies In tho keen psychological Insight that Mr. Dawson shows in treating his characters, especially in the discussion of the state of Teddy's soul. But as the state of Teddy's soul was rather unhealthy, and as the ex positions of It are ever present, the book takes or! a. distinctly effeminate tone. The secondary characters do stand out as dis tinct personalities, but their function Is ob scure. The descriptions aim at being star tling, but they abound In overdone, pathetic fallacies. Moreover, the book Is not, strictly speaking, true to life ; there may be "slaves of freedom," but they are not like Desire. As a whole, the noel falls short of its mark.

"In the Garden of Delight" la a story which may be said to Include a love affair rather than to center arqund It, for a great part of the book is given over to descriptions of nature of bird Ufa especially and an other great part reads like a "Journal In time," having more to da with tho thoughts and feelings of the author than with the romance of her adopted son. The love story Itself Is sweet and natural and the characters throughout are very real. Moreover, the tale la told with an Insight arid an unselfish sympathy which make up In part for the somewhat unhappy tone of the hook, springing from continual emphasis on tha physical and mental suffering of the author. We feel that the artistlo effect would have been greater If this element had been subordinated or left out entirely. Emmy Lou Is Back "'Sf'il "' ROAD TO ORACE."

Maintaining his preference for short stories, Mr. Cobb has collected another series of his briefer works, which he pub lishes under the name of the first nnd prob ably most widely read of them, "Ixcal Color," that rather Bomber, always plvlful, talc of prison life and the harm It wrought In one man.

The less said about the rest the better. "Field of Honor," one of tho most serious of the stories, may well be considered representa tive of the very best In Its author. It shows vividly and poignantly how the European war finds apathetic echo In the streets of New York. "The Great Auk" Is the grip ping tale of an old actor, the victim of a strange hallucination, which causes him to re-enact his old roles dally before nn Im aginary audience in an empty and decaying theater.

While the scene Is laid In Oxford some thirty years ago, Mrs. Ward has made Lady Constance Bledlow, or Lady "Connie," a very lovable and ultra-modern young woman. Although she Is only a young girl, Connie Is as much spoiled, ha self-centered and as charming as nny petted society bud of today. Besides, she rides alone, meets the man she has refused to marry unchap croned In entrancing forests, umokes ciga rettes and has acquired the art of turning tho heads of the stronger sex with an ease which Is surprising. The book deals to a great extent with the havoo a young, spirited and beautiful girl can wreck even unintentionally. Connie 1b twenty, beautiful, rich and amazingly clever. She captures the hearts of "profs," "dons" and the "bloods" alike, and com pletely shocks her aunt and uncle, with whom she has come to stay. Not that Con nie Is bad. Far from It. She has lived most of her young years abroad In the best so clety, and Oxford Is too slow ror ner, so she proceeds to wake the old university town up. Connie Is deluged with attentions and In vitations, and suitors flock about her. Of these, hbwever, the story deals chiefly with two Douglas Falloden, nephew and heir to a marquis, who Is arrogant, handsome and snobbishness personified, and Otto Radowltz, an Interesting and lovable young musician. Both adore Connie, but hate each other as only the bitterest rivals can When Connie dances all one evening with the artistlo and soulful Otto, Falloden and some of the other "bloods" haze the musi cian unmercifully.

Although the episode has made Connie hate him, her heart softens when she learns that he has lost his money and is devoting the little he has left to taking care of Otto, formerly his most hated enemy. Both Connie and Falloden take tu nursing the young musician, and the end ng la happy even for him. He sees his way clear to realize hli ambition as a composer.

At least that Is tho message which one thoughtful paci fist sends to America. nilen Key Is an Idealist; It is foreign to her nature and to her philosophy of life to see purely the practical aide of a problem, and so her "War. Peace and the Future" will be all too quickly condemned by those who live entirely In the present and who nr a little confused by such terms as "soul culture" nnd "democratic state." Mut grave intelligence gave birth to her Ideas, a clear brain nurtured them to logical conclusions, and a heart as big as humanity tempered them with Its feeling. To Kllen Key It seems of the gravest Im portance thnt women begin their campaign by forever shutting their mouths to praise nf the glories nnd conquests of war, even If they be cnlled unpatriotic. Working thus, they will create "the love that puts humanity before the nntlon," which Is far greater than "the love that puts the nation before humanity." They rrrost learn to give their fathers, sons nnd husbands to the Stnte Instead of sacrificing their lives for the State. They must have fewer and bet ter children nnd none. If It be only for their drnth nnd destruction. Finally, they must consciously work against war by Influ encing public opinion and using their voices always against It. And she quotes some one ns saying not from his "hard heart." "but from his "clear brain" that the women might even strike and refuse to nurse their fathers, sons nnd husbands back for another career of death and destruction. This will all lead to a new patriotism. The author says that: "As long ns the most Ignorant and crudest expression of the hatred of peoples Is called patriotism, as long ns women will have a feeling of pride ov er their country's evil deeds ngalnst other countries, they wilt not educate tho jounger generation to a right International senso of Justice." Few of us ever think of peace, vvni and ostracism In such a spirit; and It Is alwavs the spirit that makes Kllen Key a prophet nnd n conscious and tireless worker toward the larger alms of humanity. In this tlmo of slaughter nnd great mili tary strategies, we hear far too little of the r.cbler movements toward an ultimate re gineratlon of the warring countries, which seem to bo going on with conscious Inten sity and force. Wo have heard little of the league called the "Neues Vaterland," which Is working, even In tha war-ridden Germany, townrd leavening "the policies and diplomacy of tho Huropean States with the Idea of peaceful competition and the.thought of nn Interstate union for the purpose of pollticnl and economical ngreement between the cultured peoples of Kurope."
