AND
By
COSMO HAMILTON
This is the story of the effects upon the young married
set of the wealthy Quaker Hill colony in Connecticut, which
followed an infraction of the social code by Julian Osborne
and Margaret Meredith.
Mr. Hamilton has written a
powerful novel of present-day
American life the underlying
theme being that no un
righteous act against the es
tablished social code can be
committed without the price
being paid as dearly by the
innocent as by the guilty.

shows why tho proposed federal solution

"Ireland n Nation" is not a
mere political argument. It brings tho
Irish question into the region of litera
ture. The descriptions of n military

personal nnd humorous.
The book has historical proportion
and perspective and is rich in llternry
distinction. The pages about A. E..
Yeats, IVarse nnd the other lights of
the neo-Celtic cultural dawn are finely
thought out and written with grace anil
charm and underlying force. Mr. Lynd
Is not at all afraid to cut for fear of
where the chips will fall. Ho points out
weaknesses in the arguments of the
Irish proponents where such weaknesses
exist and he strikes to tho root of the
numerous fallacies concerning the right
of Ireland's demands, Ireland's really
big part in the world war for freedom of

piled a series of stimulating nnd Inform

THE ROMANCE
OF A GREAT SOUL
Conrad, in "The Rescue" Has
Paid a Tribute to the Charm
of Fair Women
The basli; theme of Joseph Conrad's
new novel, "The Rescue,'' has been
ucd in ono form or another by' scores
of writers. The difference between
Conrad and tho others lies in the differ
ence in treatment nnd the difference in
setting,
The book is a study of what happens
when two strong nnd orlginnl charac
ters, ono a man nnd the other n woman,
arc thrown together where there must
lie some dependence of tho one on the
other. Tom Llngard is the man whom
Conrad has selected to come in the
sphere of influence of the woman. I'in
gard has appeared in "Almnycr's Folly"
and In "An Outcast of tlie Islands," but
his adventures in these books rnmenfter
tho adventures described in "Tlie Res
cue." Tho woman is a new diame
ter, Edith Travcrs, the wife of n distin
guished Englishman, whom she mar
ried because fate seemed to hold no
grejit passion for her, and she decided to
njnko a marriage of ambition. Conrad
whimsically calls this a "successful
mistake." Lingard is engaged in re
storing to his throno a nntivo rajah In
one of tho Jnvnncso .islands. lie has
pledged his word, and as he is n jnan
of simple honor lie proceeds to keep it.
When liis plans havo reached n crisis he
learns that an English yacht has been
stranded just whero Us presence will
complicate his problem. It does com
plicate It, for Mr. Travcrs. tho owner
of tho yacht, who had left his wife on
board and had taken a guest on shore
with him for a wnlk, Is captured by na
tives plotting against tho rnjnh to whoso
fortunes Llngard is committed. If it
had not been for the presence of Mrs.
Trnvers tho situation would havo been
simpler. But Lingard sees tho woman,
and Is impressed by her beauty. It
arouses his emotions as they had never
boon Btirrcd by any other woman in his
life. His only lovo had been his brig,
Ho cannot tolerate the thought of this
woman falling into tho possession of
tho natives. So he struggles to keep his
word with tho rajah and to rescue tho
woman's husband nnd his friend. The
woman perceives the effect sbe has had
upon Lingard, nnd she bcglnJTto feel the
fascination of his strong personality.
Her- husbnnd calls her a prlmltivo
woman nnd complains to her because sho
wns never interested in political or so
cial success. But the husbnnd Is not a
primitive man. Ho is merely an inves
tigating instinct wnlking about on two
legs.
Conrad handles the situations ns they
develop ono after another in quick suc
cession with nlmost superhuman insight.
Ho makes Lingard the personification
of honor and loyalty, and Edith Trnvers
Is fcmlnino charm In perfectlou, com
bined with calculating intellect. If sho
had been n mere animal tho talo would
have ended differently. Conrad wished
to preserve the fino idealism of his hero
and prevent him from tho betrayal of
any one, nnd so ho had to make the
woman such as sho is. "Tho Rescue"
is a great talo of adventuro for thoso
who liko that sort of thing, but It is nlso
a great psychological study. It is the
romance of a great soul packed into
seven or eight days. Conradians in In
creasing numbers will find It very much
to their liking.

DREISER'S PLAY
"The Hand of the Potter" a
"Stark Tragedy"
Some peoplo call tho novels of Theo
dore Dreiser "strong" or "powerful";
others term them "virulent" or "sen
sational."
Without attempting to determine who
is correct, it is safe to say that tho
quality In Mr. Dreiser's novels which
causes tue uiscussion is present aiso in
"Tho Hand of the rotter, a four-act
play. Tho cover of the book itbelf nd
vertises tho nature of the contents by
tho assertion that Mr. Dreiser's play
Is a tragcay, star unueu nna un
ashamed." It certainly is all of thoso
things, and In tho present day of "mu
slo and moonlight" drama would be
unlikely to make much ot a success
on tho stngo. Consequently it must bo
judged for tho most part as a "closet
drama," and as such it has its merits.
Mr. Dreiser's play is laid on the up
per EaBt Side, and concerns a family
of Russian Jews, Into whoso midst
comes a sordid tragedy implicating ono
of tho sons, who is painted by tho au
thor most brutally as a degenerate and
good-for-nothing. Police court scenes
nro vividly pictured, and tho discovery
of tho body of that samo son, wly has
committed suicide, is n masterful nit of
reality, in which three well-drawn re
porters have prominent parts.
Tho play is not a pleasant one, nor
is the tecbnlquo by nny means perfect,
but It Is powerful nnd evidently sincere,
and tho action is coherent enough nnd
plausible enough to recommend it to
thoso who like strong characterizations
and moving situations.
