A HERO DESPISED
Selma Lagerlef Writes Nevel of
Brotherhood in "The Outcast"
The theme of helpfulness te mankind,
of turning the eheek for yet nnether
blew, such is the foundation of Selma
l.agerlef's latest novel, "The Outcast"
(Ueubleday. Pnge & Ce.l. which is the
first work of the winner of the Nebel
Literntuie prlr.e the American rending
public hns had In several years.
The book is permeated with the mor mer
bidness thnt seems te he the nnturnl
result of the blenk, gray bareness of
Sweden. Hut "The Outcast" shows
the author's power of charaelcrb.ntlen,
her fidelity te detail nnd her Insistence
en nn underlying message, such ns has
mnrked nil her lnttcr writings.
"The Outcnst" Is the son of Swedish
peasants, simple In their ways, strong
in their likes and dislikes nnd strangely
religious In that moedv tenseness that
mere thnn borders nn fanaticism. The
boy. adopted by nn English family, gees
away en nn exploring expedition. On
Its return rumor hns it the survivors
weie forced te cannibalism. Imme
diately the finger of scorn is pointed
nnd se enters "The Outcnst."
Suffering the severest pang of all
ostracism by his fellows the young ex
plorer becomes another "Servant In the
HnuhP" or nnether ledger of "The
Third Foer Rack." But every attempt
at doing geed for his fellows brings but
new rebuffs. He lifts n crowd of law
less, shiftless fishermen into new paths
nnd Is enst out bv the scorn of their
wives. He builds n school for the neg
lected children of the little storm-swept
town, nnd it is burned down by the
fanatically inclined. Even the minister
turns against him. Strangely enough It
Is the wife of the minister, h young,
beautiful and yet abused girl, who sup
plies the thread of romance. Hew the
"Outcast" necct)t8 his fate and llnnllv
lives te see his exoneration, only te pass
nway, uring out some of the strongest
scenes Selma Lagerlef has written.
Her plea for the brotherhood of man
rather thnn the kinship of death is
worked out logically If morbidly. Rut
elwnys it is done by a master pen.

was a missionary previous te the war, in the darkest
part of Africa. He was sent te France as Chaplain
te a regiment of African natives. His book "Stand
ing By" is one of the most notable interpretations of
the religious phases of the war in print.
He saw that a contented, backbeneless, conventional
religion, which had permitted war, offered no armor
against the flood of passion let loose by war. It is
this which made his novel necessary; a story of love,
poignantly beautiful, strong, sincere, and never trivial,
a book worth reading, worth pondering ever,

GEORGE GIBBS
in a highly entertaining
novel of modern society
life provides the first
serious attempt te ana
lyze flappers and flap
perism. He relates the
romance of one of them,
who proves most convinc
ingly that, despite the reck
lessness, t h e selfishness,
and the absurdities of the
girl of 1922, she can face
adversity with all the cour
age and resourcefulness
that distinguished her sex
in past generations. Yeu
are apt te change your
ideas about flappers when
