It opens with an interview between
a jeting man returned from the great

etitic man hud comeback from France

MANY VICISSITUDES
"Richard Dehan" Writes Tale of
Mystery, War, Occultism
and Leve
If mystery, war, occultism, romance,
deep-dyed villainy, virtue triumphant
nnd a Imppy-sntl ending make for an
engrossing tale, then Richard Dehan
(Clothllde Graves) has written Just
Mich n one In "The Just Steward"
(Deran). Just as n surplusage of con
diments can spoil a salad dressing, be
she has, possibly, added tee much te her
story. Hut If the future reader of "The
Just Steward" can take the word of one
who has gene before, it will net de te
put the book deftn when It seems te
grew n bit boring.
Just when the author clutters up the
story with relapses Inte ancient lore ami
the pages drag before the eyes, then the
main story will rip into a new nnd
unexpected angle and things will move
along merrily Indeed.
The motif of the story is the stew
nrdshln imposed uoen a Jew in the
early Christian days. It is kept faith
fully, although even the descendants of
tne lirst unrisiian lanuiy uitwit
net knew of it. , ,
Miss Ursvcs starts off with a careful
picture et pre-Christian days and then
jumps te wartime when the, descendant
of the Jew who has been given a trust
of honor starts off te wnr.
There are vicissitudes ttnlere. Ro Re
mance enters Inte the scene. The plot
inarches and ceuntermnrches in n man
ner bewildering te the narrator who
must keep within conventional bounds.
Let it suffice te say that "The Just
Steward" Is a war story, only tinged
by war, a romance where sticky senti
mentality does net cloy, a delylng into
the occult thnt only savers the story.
Even If there are tee many geed
things In the story enough te make
half n dozen novels the result Is worth
while.

NEIGHBORS HENCEFORTH
by
OWEN WISTER
Adopting this quotation as expressing his policy that all coun
tries should be universal neighbors, Mr. Wister vividly and
fearlessly writes of his experiences during and since the war.
Frem the amusing yet significant conversations of the soldiers
about their treatment and conditions, te the serious and highly
indicative conversations with persons of authority about the
great war leaders; from the depressing devastation in the
battlefields te the forced gaiety in Paris all made very definite
impressions en him and all joined te give him the .one idea about
America and Europe that "we are all neighbors in the same
street nnd neighbors henceforth it is our destiny te be."

BEN HECHT is the most fecund and prolific of the
younger forces in American letters.. He comes new
with "GARGOYLES," as acute and penetrating an
exposition of the motives and impulses underlying human
imbecilities as has been done.
"Frem the first scene achieved with tht utmost
aplomb where Geerge Baslne and his friend, Xeegan, step
at 5 A. M., Sunday morning, from the tortuous embraces
of a bordello, te the last, closing en Basine's election te the
senatership, the thing is a glittering mass of the whys
and wherefores of Mr. Hecht's detection, dictating the
"superficial actions and expressions of the boebpisie.
"The book has alternately enchanted and exasperated
me. I've been absorbed by the accurateness and correct
ness of the psychology; annoyed by the never-ceasing flash
and glitter of the verbal adornments which translate that
psychology, and have longed for something as banal as an
irony that masks a pity or sympathy, instead of a cynicism
whose set-pieces explode into a formulated contempt
around the unheeding ears of his characters."
