Rhd hai the most wonderful red-gold
hlr and beautiful eyes nnd she Is very
naart looking nnd always exquisitely
well dressed. I am much mistaken if
Evelvn does not nrove to bo one of the
leading belles of next season. She Is the
daughter of Hob Drayton, a son of Mr.
ml Mrs. Henry Drayton. Her mother,
who died about turce years ago, was
Anna Jones, a daughter of the lnte
Charles Henry Jones whose home was
or many years down on Fourth street
,ncar (he houso occupied in tbo winter

U we ust nave n nice little rain soon

POLLY is fivtf years old and very self

her.
Well, one beautiful moonlight night

NOTABLE BOOKS
OF THE WEEK
World Peace
Two ways for preserving tho pence of
the World aro i1Icuaai1 hv fttm Fnrr.
llshmen In little books which have just
appeared in this country. Gilbert Mnr
??. V! ' Tho Problem of Foreign
Policy" (Houghton Mifflin Co.) finds
the Lcnguo of Nations ndequnto to tho
situation. A. O. Gardiner, in "Tho
AtlglO-Amcrlcan Fntnrn" fThnmim
Seltzer) suggests thnt If the navies of
urcac wriroin nnd the United States
were pooled they could secure nnd main
tain the peace.
Mr. Gardiner's hook is nn Informed
discussion of the relations between
the United Htate9 and Grcnt Urltnln,
nnd of the causes which hnve led
to friction. Yet ho Insists: thai tho
two nations with common traditions
nnd common political Ideals ought to
work more harmoniously for the general
good. lie says thnt tho world needs
Hrltish civilization, nnd ho includes
American civilization in it, n civiliza
tion which reus upon the democratic
Ideal. Mr. Gardiner belongs -to that
largo company of brond-visloncd Eng
lishmen who arc devoting thcmselyes to
tho cultivation of n better understand
ing between the Hrltish and the Ameri
cans. Gilbert Murray devotes himself to a
discussion of tho blunders of the Hrlt
ish foreign policy, for which ho hns
much contempt. Ho denounces the dis
regard of tho pledges rande to the little
peoples nnd fears thnt irrcpnrnblo darn
ngo hn been done. Tho only wny out,
not only for the littlo peoples, but for
Franco and Germany, lies, In his opin
ion, In tho operation of the provisions
of the covenant of the League. That
covenant protects France against ag
gression from (Jermnny, for under It
tho members of the Leaguo must go to
tho relief of Trance If her territory Is
threatened. It protects Germany, for
tho covenant provides for such modifi
cation of tbo Versailles Treaty as cir
cumstances may Justify. It rcmdVcs
from Germnny tho provocation to go to
war to seek redress, for she can get It
through the League after sho Is admit
ted to membership. Tho best way to
lenrn what the covenant provides is to
read It. Few persons, however, are
willing to study official documents nnd
nearly nil take their Information nt
second hand. Mr. Murray's book is an
excellent exposition of some phases of
the covenant, ns well ns an Illuminat
ing discussion of the present compli
cated situation in Europe.
A Neiv Lincoln Book
John liiirhnn hns written n fasci
nating historical novel In which lie at
tempts to explain where tho genius of
Lincoln had its origin. He calls it
"Tho Path of the King" (George II.
Doran Co.). nnd In it ho seeks to show
how the qualities of great men reap
pear in their remote descendants after
lying quiescent for generations. His
book Ktnrti in Scamlinavin with nn ad
venturing king of that country who sets
out on a foraging expedition to France
or England. The king Is killed, but his
son survives. Then he tells tho story of
descendants nf thnt sou, Identified by n
gold ring, ns they rise nbovo the nur
facc and achieve greatly for a while.
The last two episodes deal with events
in America. One tells nf Jim Lovell,
tho grandfather of Nancy Hanks, who
wore the gold ring, nnd tho other tells
of Lincoln himself, who lost the ring
when, ns n small boy, he used it ns n
bait for fiih. The book grew out of n
conversation in which some one said
thnt nristoerncles were not tho place to
look for masterful men. They wcro to
be found In the descendants of the men
who founded the aristocracies, nmong
the offspring of the younger sons who
did not Inherit the titles nnd the posi
tions but did inherit nnd pns on f-ome
o the qualities of the great ancestors.
It will be intensely interesting to thons

A Man's a Man for A' That
Franz Mnlnar, n well-known Hun
garian dramatist, has mndu an intense
ly human thing out of his study of the
heart of an amusement park ''barker"
in "Llliom" (Hon! & Liveright). The
play delighted tho discriminating when
It wns prevented in New York this
spring. Its appearance in a book will
make it accessible to those who intiv not
find it possible to see it acted. It lias
been translated into Idiomatic Hngllih
by Itcnjnmin F. ftlnzcr. so thnt it reads
as smoothly ns if it had been written
in English originally. I.IIlom. the
barker, belongs to that rlnss in which
it is regarded as a sign of weakness to
confess to any sentiment. Hut tho sen
timent is in his heart, ns tho render of
the play enn lendlly see. The man gets
into trouble and Is fatnllv wonn.io.i
After the death there is a scene before
the Judgment Bar done so skillfully
thnt it does not seem Incongruous or
shocking. After some years of punish
ment I.iliom is allowed to return to
cartli in order that lie may show the
sentiment that lie feels for hU wife nnij
his daughter. Hut the poor fellow can
not do It, and he goes back to his tor
ment for another period as the play
ends. Mulnni lias handled a common -place

The Plattsfoiarg Movement
By RALPH BARTON PERRY
Few, even of those whose sons and brothers are on the
Plattsburg roll, comprehend the full meaning of the move
rnent, or faintly recognize the possibilities of continuing the
Plattsburg spirit in preparation not for war but for the
fuller life of American youth. As history and as inspiration
this book stands alone.

Four Pilgrims
Headers of the literature of ndventure
will find much to their liking In the
story of some famous travelers told by
"William Boultlng In "Four Pilgrims"
(E, P. Dutton & Co.) Tho first is an
account of the Journey of Hltien
Tslang. a Chlncso Buddhist, from China
to India nnd return between the years
027 and (113. The pilgrim vowed to
visit every spot In India on which
Ilttddlin bad set Ills foot and he fulfilled
his vow. He had narrow escapes from
bandtto on the wny nnd endured many
perils while bo wns In India. Tho story
of his achievement will be Instructive
to those who hnve not learned proper
respect for men of other rnces nnd other
religions. The second pilgrim Is Sne
wulf, nn Englishman, who went to
Palestine In 1102. The third is Mo
hammed Ibn Abd Allah, the grcntest of
the Mohammedan travelers, nnd the
fourth is Ludovlco Vnrthemn. some
times known ns Hartbcmn. of Hologna,
who professed conversion to Mohamme
danism and visited Mecca. After he had
seen the senred city he escaped and
spent some time In Aden and Inter In
India. He wns a bold spirit with in
genuity enough to get himself out of
many scrapes In which n man less fer
tile In expedients would have come to
grief. The story is so entertaining that
it will probably lead many to look up
the book in which Vnrthemn, when he
returned to Bologna in 1C07, recounted
at length his experiences In strnngo
lands.
Psycho-Analyst in Novel
There hnve been nil softs of crime
dctceters nnd mystery solvers in mod
ern fiction, but It hns remained for Ida
A. It. Wjilc to utilize the services of a
psycho-analyst. "Hogucs nnd Com
pany'' is tho title of her really
very thrilling nnd enthralling book,
which blends breezy comedy with
mn.y mystery. Of course, psycho-
nnnlysls has been utilized, either
consciously or unconsciously, as n
background or nn explanatory motiva
tion of fiction. Miss "Wylle, who wrote
"Children of Storm," a successful novel
of a previous season, has nn excitable
old gentleman of position nnd leisure
tnko hold of a potential looter of his
family silver in order to elucidate his
career, affected by amnesia, nnd to ro
dcem him from criminality. Bcfora his
memory is recovered tliero is time for
many unusual situations, in which hu
mor and excitement play prominent
roles. Tin? book is one of John Lane's
important spring Action offerings.
Ireland as Fiction Theme
Gerald Donovan, who wrote "Father
Italph" some time ngo, hns written an
other novel, with Ireland as the localo
and tho woes of "the most distressful
country" as the material. "Conquest"
(Putnam's) nttempts to explain the
complexity of Ireland for tho unin
formed. There nre many cross currents
nnd counter influences, political, social,
racial, economic, nationalistic and what
not, that combine in that curious situa
tion or issue known ns "the Irish ques
tion." Mnny persons make snap judg
ments nnd quick solutions by a sort of
crude Gordian knot untying, who if
they knew the complicated weft and
web of the tangle would surely keep
quiet. Mr. Donovan seeks to stntc the
data in terms of fiction. His is not nl
togothor a novel with n purpose, but a
story for story's sake. Therefore his
explanations nre not dull or dry. His
theme is tragic, but his literary ap
paratus is that of comedy. Of course,
there are many who will not agree with
the author, but, then, where can there
be found unanimity on the Irish ques
tion, or any other question. American
or otherwise, for the mntter of that?
To be sure, more thnn three-fourths of
Ireland have balloted in favor of one
policy, but that is considerably off from
tlio unanimity, toward achieving which
Mr. Donovan clarifies some phases.

foL Iroirfoi'lai. HmV
teenth Century" series, of which it is
the eighth volume,
For one thing world events have
moved into n new era, nnd this advance
gives an entirely new perspective to
many of the great personalities of re
cent history. On this count, then, the
Williams biography gains in proportion
owing to tho lnpsc of time since tho
death of the subject: there Is a reduc
tion of hero worship and n sounder
consideration of more systematically
assembled facts. For another thing the
nnglo of attitude is different from that
of any other approach to the life of
the grcnt colony builder, for the book
is an interpretation of the man nnd
his work and influence according to the
program of the series. It therefore
considers Ithodes ns one of the men of
all countries nf the nineteenth century
who had a definite influence on thought
or nctiou during thnt tense nnd teeming
period of history. It Is thus more thnn
the customer) mere rccotintal of events
and massing of data, toward which vir
tually contemporaneous biographies
tend.
Mr. Williams is no Wind idolater of
his subject. Ho sets forth tho great
ness of Ithodes, and stresses bis Im
perially minded idcnls. But bo is also
able to countervail with the man's lim
itntlons nnd defects without being per
tifngKiug In fault-finding. His book

On a larger and more difficult scale Mr. Swin
nerton has repeated the triumph of NOC
TURNE. Anyone who reads this vivid narra
tive of an intense and emobonal girl confronted
with extraordinary circumstances will agree that
the figure of Sally Minto is a truly notable crea
tion in modern fiction.
In a story which by its compressed power and
human emotion gives the illusion of years of
passionate experience, Mr. Swinnerton shows
us a brief period in Sally's life, a period in which
Sally faces the dilemma of choosing between
the gratification of material comfort and her
heart's desire.
