The quality of this one, the lack of «quality in that one, registers prompt- Jy—on the one hand for further pur- suit, on the other for the earllest possible dismissal. “The Little French Girl” s clearly a case for further pursuit. Within three pages of it one begins to settle into the satisfactions that finely calculated work, that a superbly executed de- sign, induces in so happy a, degree The purpose here is to port a young glrl's life up to the point where She lays off the role of girlhood for that of wifehood. All of these pre- ceding years, In any one's girihood. contribute directly to this first impo tant Individual change. Backgrounds are most important in this situation. but in America this fact is not so clearly recognized. So, this author moves over into France where back- grounds really become foregrounds in the momentous matter of matr mony. The young French girl has a mother who is beautiful and charm- ing, but as impetuous and free as a mountain torrent—a de-classed wom- an, in whom men of intellect and power find delight 1 anion- ship. But—marriage—that is differ- ent in this land of traditional resp for the family. It is In this atmos hers, it is in this situation, that the beautiful and innocent and unrealiz- ing French girl is brought upon the subject of her own future. In the solution of this problem use is made of the different outlook of the Saxon—English and Am this background of marri even here, one feels that the tradition holds, even though it {s not so clearly sensed and so openly obeyed as it is among the French. - Even in England the romance of the little French girl s threatened, and in one instance destroyed, by the mother's black mark against the immaculate lite of the girl. A great story, both in pur- pose and in fulfillment, one, too, whose implication covers truthfully much more than the fortunes of “The Little French Girl" SAFBGUARDIN G CHILDREN'S NERV By James J.

Ry Mary S. Watts. author of “Nathan Burke,” etc. New York: The Mac- millan Company. In the midst of a situation, a part of it, one is unable to judge entirely efther its character or its effect. The good judgment calls for a certain de- tachment, for the absence of a par- taking personal interest. The pic- ture held up for judgment here is a certain phase of American life. To secure detachment for its appraisal, yet to provide enough of understand- ing to insure something of sympathy, this author makes use of an Amerl- can woman who has lived many years in France, but who returns to her old home with a daughter who ha been educated entirely to an accept- ance of European ideas of education for young girls. It Is from this standpolnt that the picture of Ameri- can life grows in “The Fabric of the| Loom.” Contrast is the iluminating agency here. The woman is in pos- session of a set of values quite dif- ferent from those In use about her. The girl is set off sharply from the free behaviors of her companions by the reticences and formal manners of her training. Around them is the type of smart American soclety. Here are the free and pleasure-lovin young folks. Here the young matrons to whom marriage Is no bar to new romance. Here is the active, useful womun, as busy losing her husband she is in promoting social well- belng. lere the business man whose function is to provide the money. They are Finally, the ple- not unusual pair, off on the other side of the world, engaged, as fugitives, in the sorry game of paying the piper for an overfoyous dancing on the thin ice of broken marital conventions. Not quite 50 well woven, this “fab- ric”” not quite so fine and smooth in texture as this author's usual fruit of the loom turns out to be. A good story, but not Mary S. Watts' best story.

New York: George H. Doran Co. N a man be a mother? He cer- tainly can and, in this case, is. To be sure, the family record, if it were at hand, would count the man and the Httle boy of this adventure as uncle and nephew. But the family record is not at hand and the dally facts in the case make no hing less than a mother out of Calvin Beach in his love for young Reed and in the good companionship that carries on be- tween them. A couple of pllgrims, these two, running away from mys- tery and shame—the mystery of Reed’'s birth, the shame of Calvin Beach’s dead sister. However, when we come upon the two we are not asked to partake of sorrow and &loom. Rather, to go trudging along with them through the wide West— now playing Indian, now playing tramp, now playing any delightful thing calculated to serve the purposes of food and shelter, And we go on— joyous and excited, all—till finally We come upon a farmhouse. And in it s a farmer greatly in need of help for the harvesting of his flelds. So, we all fall to and it Is at this place that the whole story gets on its way —on its way of making a place in the hearts of thesa kindly common people for the little boy and the man, too. Making a place, too, for the dawn and noon time of a pleasing romance, all developed easily and naturally by way of the work and the good alr and the sounda sleep and the occa- slonal presence of the young girl Who Is away in a nearby town earn. ing a more attractive lving than farm work provides.
