How Esmeralda Helped Ksmernlda, daughter of the owner of a horse ranch In California, Is lnlted by her rich aunt to como East and help In warwork. Sho comes at once and arrives on the evening of a dinner party. Sho makes her appearance In the draw ing room dressed In a white silk shirt waist, a corduroy skirt and thick boots and shocks her aunt. But this Is only the first shock which she Inflicted during the few Weeks In which she tried to co-opernte with fashionable society people in their futile warwork. such ns lied Cross teas, knitting parties and food exhibits. The greatest shock came when she donned the breeches of an Kngllsh captain visiting at the house nnd rode n bucking horse, upsetting the horsts of other women trained only ln a fashionable riding school, nnd thcfti going away without notice and marry ing the captain. All this la told In "Esmeralda, or. Every Little Bit Helps," a delicious so cial satire by Nina Wilcox Putnam and Norman Jocobson.

W ENGLISHWOMAN WRITES LIKE A MAN Richard Deltans Latest Booh Sustains Her Reputation as a Novelist of Great Power With each book Illchard Deha'n writes the wonder grows that this enn be ft woman's work. If ever a character istically masculine touch was displayed It was shown apparently In "Between Two Thlees," and, tn a lesser extent, In "Tho Dope Doctor." Possibly this is due largely to the author's obvious preference for big canoes, with great splnshes of color, eschewing entirely tho miniaturist work that the world per haps altogether unjustly associates with the woman flcttonlst. "That Which Hnth Wines." the latest of the Illchard Dehan noels. Is, quite as big as tho biggest of Its predecessors, and this Is not due entirely to the fact that It treats of the biggest of all present-day subjects the war. Of the great mass of war fiction the miniaturists havo contributed more than their share, while most of those who hno attempted the great canvases hae attained only moderate success. Measured by popular ity, it Is yet to be determined Just how successful "That Which Hath Wlngjr Is destined to be, but as an artistic achievement It is certain to take a rank In current literature far above the nveragc. A synopila of the story would sound very conventional. First of all there la tho conventional German spy, who at tempts to abscond from England, as the wnr starts, with n military secret or ltal Importanco to the Bafety of the nrltlsh r.mplre. What w'lih the Oppen helins. the Olbbses. the Chamberses ana others of that Ilk. the spy story has been sadly overdone. Fortunately there are other angles nnd other Incidents In niohnrrt Dehan'n novel that stand out so prominently that the triteness of this one theme can be forgiven. For example, there Is tho incident of tho little Boy Scout, kidnapped from his Home anu forced to be the constant companion ot n Herman aviator. Nothing anywhero In war literature moro truly pathetic than this part of tho story can be found, and could It bo separated from the rest of the tale. It would bo an ad mirable and. undoubtedly, popular story for children. Unfortunately, however, the context Is llttln ndapted to the youtn ful mind. In fact, there are some things In "That Which Hath Wings' which older readsrs may find a bit shocking, for Blchard Dehan, desplto a very noticeable religious tendency, be lieves In calling a spade a spade. Tho experiences of Patrlno Saxhorn, who is the nearest approach to a heroine to be fmmrt In the story, aro told with a frankness thnt Is most unusual. Incidentally. "That Which Hath Wings" Introduces American readers to what is apparently the latest Lngllsh .in. nnnrnveil hv tho elect. Timo was when' nngllsh writers chlded Americans, for their Blnnglnesa, but Ruch criticism can never.be fairly lei .cled at u. i again If we arc to ncceiu me uiitv ..- - employed by some of the characters ; In this book ns at all true to life, fcven New York's East Side would stand ap palled were It to hear but a tithe of tho strango patois thnt these English so ciety people use with so much gusto.

Otherwise they may agreo with the writer that tho repulsUe extreme to which our fellow Phlladelphlan sends this Doerck might well havo been avoided, and the picture of a degenerate creature stealing the bride of a clean man to take her for his own .could hao been better left unpalnted. It U rather a shame that the some what interesting plot of "Once on a Sum mer Bango" should have taken such an unwelcome turn nnd to the detriment of what In the beginning promises to be the redeeming fenture of the story. An architect, Matthew Halnlen, goes West for hit health and becomes a sheep herder ln Montann He find "the girl" ln distress besought by illnlns, rescues her, marries her and straightway loses her in the manner already Indicated. The author Is a belleer In the use of queer-soundlng adjectlvet of tho cate gory of "rocky-threated" gulch, "art Btudented girl" nnd the "emotion-broken man." And when his descriptive pow ers are put to u difficult test he speaks of the "vague, drifting stirs of still air,'' and resorts to like vague, drifting ve hicles of description. Ills heroine does not speak French, but "says French", and in the next to the last chapter the Plain's "gore" is spilled, and not his blood But as was prexlously stated, tho plot In Its earlier development Is pos sessed of a ery commendable element of interest.
