New York: E. P. Dutton Co. ‘,‘\LLE\'NE IRELAND served once as| member of the late Joseph Pulit- zer's secretariat, and this book is an account of that time. It was fi writ- | ten in 1914 (the reviewer remembers it as collateral reading in Journalism), | it was reissued in 1920 and now it | seems good for another edition or so. Anyway, another edition has been got- | ten out and has so impressed a writer for the Reader's Digest that it has been featured in that magazine. This is no wonder. Joseph Pulitzer was a very great man, and Mr. Ireland, writ- ing of him, caught just those superfi- | cialitles of greatness which the public can undersiand and likes to enter) For it is not a profound work. Tt| is distinctly popular reading. It con- | cerns itself for the most part with| mannerisms—how the great man was | & walking en dia, how his mem- | ory was phen how he was able to work a staff of six secretaries to weariness, tho! f was a| hopeless invalid; how he could be a| charming host, how magnificently he | bore his affiiction and the like | But it is well enough done, and be- | cause its subject was a fascinating hu- man being, it. too, has a quality of fascination.

Brown & Co. 18 is a not too serious work on the life of an American family in France. The family of five, mother, father and three little girls, sample life in Paris, a French small town and at a French middle-class resort. Their life as househoiders and patrons of the local schools gave them an oppor- tunity for intimate insight into the French national character, French customs and French beliefs. These are recorded faithfully, wittily and always in a readable, interesting man- ner. Mr. Moffat attempts to dispel the old illusion that “the French are a ®ay people, fond of light wines and beers.” In place of this fifth-grade geography version he tries to substi- | tute a picture of a serious people much fonder of gargantuan meals (accom- panied by appropriate drinks) than of light wines and beers. According to him, their outstanding characteristic 1s a love of money, which engenders & meanness of spirit and a lack of hu- | mor. They are petty in their reactions where any pecuniary gain might be expected, unethical in their dealings with strangers, utterly realistic in their attitude towards life in all its manifestations, including sex. On the credit side they have frugality, strong family feeling and integrity, and the above-mentioned sense of reality. The book is not a study, however, but an amusing and gentle satire. R. R. T. SON OF HAMAN. Louis Cochran Caxton Printers, Ltd. Caldwell, Idaho. ON OF HAMAN is the story of an illegitimate on of & Yaco River woman, who, although she has been living more or less openly with the town’s most important saloon owner, has, nevertheless, tried to instill high ideals and a conventional moae of thought in her son. Driven by ambi- tion, Lije Smith, wealth and marriage with the daugh- ter of the town's only aristocrat. Folled in the latter ambition, he enforces a | shotgun riarriage between his mother and her lover and himaelf marries one of the native prostitutes, both to make the women in question “respectable.” Although it is a story of sordid lives in & mean community, it is not a sordid book. It is realistic withou being nasty. Lije's growth of char acter s foreshadowed in the first chapter of the book. The wedding of | Elizabeth Fortinberry, the girl he loves, to Tom Cronbone, & lawyer from New Orleans, is as inevitable, given the rast of characters deycribed by Cochian, as is Lije’s reaction to that wedding. The whole plot is integrated not from the incidents desgribed, but from the characters of the people involved. The | thesis of the book is not Hardy's power of fate, but a belief that events | are the outgrowth of a series of char- acter reactions ‘The plot is lucid, the characters are clear, the action is logical and swift enough to make a very readable story.
