Now WHITE SHADOWS IN THE SOUTH SEAS Frederick O'Brien's Tale of a Year Among Tropical Natives STORIED RICH FOLK NOT AT ALL SNOBS AN INTERNATIONAL NOVEL OF SOCIETY ful Story in "Sinister Revel" Lillian llnrrett has written a power ful nnd unpleasant novel in "Sinister Revel" nnd by those some adjectival tokens nn importnnt novel. Home 0110 hns snld of it that it Is the tragic nnrrntlon of squandered powers, wnsted energies nnd battered ideal. Tt is all of this nud more, for it Is a reflection in the mirror of fiction of n sort of contemporary living of life, and more poignant nnd intluentlnl thinking of life In erotic, neurotic, morbid terms, and' in hectic, unwholesome, flamboyant phrases that resound garishly but hollowly from metal that is base and untrue. It hns been snid thnt "Sinister Itc vel" is nn unpleasant novel. This is so in the same sense thnt Shnw labels some of his plays by the same ascription. Mnny of the peisonngcs nre disagreeably immoral or unmoral; but so arc those about us in life; many of the situ ations in which they find themselves or into which they plunge themselves nre neither conventional nor commend able; but the first page of the daily paper is full of them. The book can be lebeled "an inter national society novel," as it runs from Newport nnd Lenox to AVost Hiding and Cannes; it has Trench, Americans nnd Kngllsh in it. SIXISTKR ItnVKl 11 William Darrttt. New York: Alfr, d A. Knopf. Trudy and Timothy Herthn Currier Porter, who gained mnny friends by writing about the life of Trudy nnd Timothy nt Todd's Terry, hns prepared to delight them all by con tinuing the story of these two little children. The new book is "Trudy nnd Timothy Out-of-Doors," nnd it is full of those surprising ndventures which delight children nnd entertain grown ups who rctnin their sjmpnthy with youth. Tllt-DY AND TIMOTHY OUT-OF-T)OOnS Millions of well-informed men and women never heard of Paul Onuguin before the publication of Somerset Maugham's novel, "The Moon nnd Six pence," tho hero of which wns sug gested by the cnrcccof Gauguin. And slnco the publication of Maugham's novel there remain millions to whom tho name of Gauguin is still unknown; but there arc several thousand who have ac quired n new interest In the French impressionist pntnter becnuso a Uritls,h novelist, has put him in a book. And ns usually happens when one's atten tion is directed to n pnrtlculnr subject onci finds references to It iu tho most unexpected places. Thus Frederick O'Hrlcn's bonk, "White Shadows in the South Sens," contains a chapter on the life and experiences of Gauguin on tho Marquesas islands which, but for Maugham's novel, would mean little save to the elect. O'llrlen's book is one of the most realistic descriptions of life In the South Sens thnt wns ever written. He seems to hnvo nbsorbed the ntmosphcro of tho region nud let it drip from his pen while ho wns writing. He lived on one of the Marquesas islands for a jcar, dressing in nntive fashion nnd living on native food, and associating with the natives and participating iu their festivities. He describes nil these things in a style nt once lucid nnd picturesque. The book is really the history of a tragedy, the destruction of a native race through the imposition on it of alien customs nnd the supptession of its natural genius. The population is rapidly dls appenring through disease nnd through the destruction of nil nmbition to live. The moralist will find his lesson here. And the person interested iu the manner ot life in strange parts of the world will find the book most entertninlnc.
