The study of internationalism is based upon &l preliminary survey of nationalism. This survey covers the remote origin of the nation in an assoclation of common interests, which, in turn, de- veloped a common habit of thought and mode of speech.

This larger as- soclation, while containing elements | of the national concept, is of suffi- ciently different nature and purpose | am to impose an international law | that is separate and distinct from the intent and body of national law. i ‘These differences are set out in con- trast here. Diplomacy, the chief instrument, as yet. of international intercourse, is analyzed in its nature and operation. By this analysis and discussion certain common m on- ceptions of diplomacy are corrected. The law of war is not law at all, rather a set of usages and customs. Working toward the future of inter . the author advocates describes the purpose of the ent Court f International of which President Harding is the ecarnest champion. He sets out, also, the league of nations as a “going concern/ with an uhle\e-’ ment of importance already to oredit. In the last chapter of the book the author presents certain “imponderables” bound to be of im- portance, either as helps or hin- drances in the international idea.

' Indfanapolis Merrill Company. A romance of knight-errantry, this, done over to fit the fashion of the twenticth century. The old fire- breathing drazon has become the modern corporation. The mailed knight with lance atilt is a voung man in russet shoes and rusty busi- ness suit. IHeir to a foriune calcu ated to make that of Haroun Al Raschid look like & quarter of a do ar, he sets out to fight the great busi- ness to which he has fallen neir. All this heirship a dead secret.

By Berta Ruck, author of “The Subconscious Court- ship.” etc. Frontisplece by Ed- ward C. Caswell. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co.

LARGE, John T. thor of “The Rest- Illustrations by the The Bobbs- familiar—the one that has provided the atmosphere for her earlier stories of the Pennsylvania Dutch. This set- ting permits & latitude that in any one but Mrs. Martin would be chal- lenged. But she knows her Pennsyl- vanta, and 80 we are bound to accept the unbellevable ignorance and crudeness and brutality of the sup- portera of the Church on the Avenue. The minister isn’t half a man. not half the man his wife is—and that he cannot be a man and a popular preacher at the same time Is the theme of this particular story. Asan/ incident, as the study of a particular character and_temperament, the work is up to Mrs. Martin's usuai level. As a_ generalization it is, of course, fce- ble and unconvincing. But no one is Boing to take It in this larger impli- cation, despite the broadcast state- ment of the discouraged wife about the jellyfish morality of her minis- terial spouse. A POCKETFUL OF POSES. By Anne Parrish. New York: George H. Do- ran Company The most of us pose occasionally. The girl of this story poses all the time. J'rom the moment of our meet- ing till that of parting she passe from hour to hour, into one and an other of the roles that opportunity offers. Washing the breakfast dish- es?—a little play, in which she takes, in her own mind, a captivating and leading part. ng to churchg She steps outside herself. so to spfak, to see something between a madonna and & saint going by. Accepting a lover?—not once does she see him but rather herself. the softly con- senting maiden response to hls im-| passioned wooing Thus the story runs along the joys. and the sorrows, too, that this “pocketful of poses” brings to @ really lovable girl who projects herself as the star in a per- petual drama of everyday doings. Clever and attractive. this girl, partly on her own account and partly by virtue of a clear reflection of the rest of us. = BOOKS RECEIVED.

A scanty and commonplace summary of a very bright and stimulating novel. Be- cause, you see, the personality and skill of the author give these fa- millar stages the appearance and the impression of things brand new. The girl, herself, has a real charm. The “hopeless case” is an incorrigibly ¢ nopeful one. The sights and sounds and smells of a hospital sustain the rather novel romance developed within its walls. Besides, there are pictures, innumerable, as natural as life, of this “case” and that charac- ter appearing in the community life of the institution. Clever and observ- ant, this writer, and gifted with an unusual economy in the use of ma- terial, an economy that discards the ~ useless stuff of composition while it retains the substance of picture and eharacter effects and quick turns of ible action.
