The compilers have selected “scenes from good novels depicting joy in
work.” They say in their preface: “Young people are to-day more
earnestly than ever before seeking for light to guide them to the
places in the workshops of the world for which they are best fitted.
Surely some of that light can be found in descriptions of those
workshops written by writers of insight and imagination, like our
novelists. Hence this book.” Among the selections are: The diver, from
“Caleb West,” by F. Hopkinson Smith; Reclaiming the desert, from “The
winning of Barbara Worth,” by Harold Bell Wright; Pottery, from
“Brunel’s Tower,” by Eden Phillpotts; Cigar making, from “V. V’s

“He ends, by sheer tireless weight of creative energy, in overwhelming
the reader physically rather than emotionally. ... Such work is
valuable for its influence on the poetic consciousness of the age

places. ... One trouble with Mr Untermeyer, indeed, is that he is not
half enough content to be the good poet that he is. He is possessed of
a gift and of a specialized, rather naïve philosophy of life, and his
gift distinctly suffers for it. For life presents itself to him too

One can only believe that the rejuvenescence experienced by Roland
Farwell Francis, somewhere between thirty and thirty-five, was in
reality a first youth. Surely the deferential silk salesman as we
first meet him, with his sideburns, gold-rimmed spectacles and black
cutaway, had never been young. On Monday, March 13th, Mr Francis made
an entry in his personal journal: “Noted another customer in
particular to-day. Bought five yards of that new wild geranium.” Mr
Francis had, as the note implies, noted other customers in particular,
and he does not know at the time how very particular this one is to
become, or that with the sale of five yards of the new wild geranium
his youth is to begin. Mr Francis’s mild, but none the less amazing
adventures will be followed with interest to their satisfactory close,
when a feminine hand makes the final entry in the personal journal.
“Mr Updegraff’s first novel is so good that our first thought is one

=VACHELL, HORACE ANNESLEY.= Fishpingle; a romance of the countryside. *$1.35 (3c) Doran 17-15975
Fishpingle, butler to Sir Geoffrey Pomfret, is the leading character
in this story. He stands in close relation to the family, and is
involved in the love affairs of Alfred, the first footman, and
Prudence, the still-room maid, and of Lionel, only son of Sir
Geoffrey, and Joyce, the parson’s daughter. The author tells us in his
preface that there is an “obvious purpose underlying the adventures
and misadventures of the story.” This purpose is to picture the type
of country squire who is a “true lover of the soil but helplessly
ignorant of its potentialities,” and to make clear that this type of
man is likely to become extinct unless he justifies his claim to
existence by sticking to the land and concentrating his undivided
energies upon it. The author’s comedy, “Fishpingle,” was produced at
the Haymarket theater in 1916.

the girl and offers to take her as a pupil. But she encounters the
opposition of Eugénie’s aunt, a harsh peasant woman, who lives in fear
that the girl may follow in the footsteps of a wayward mother. But,
learning that the girl is already in danger from the attentions of
Gaston Hypolite, an opera singer, she puts her under the wise care of
Mme Périntot. Gaston, however, is not to be put off. He persists, with
no other intention than that of making Eugénie his mistress. In the
meantime the aunt, from long brooding on the girl’s possible fate, has
gone insane. She attempts revenge on Gaston. From this experience he
emerges a wiser man, and, having been won over to Eugénie’s own high
conception of love, asks her hand in marriage.

In her investigation of the millinery trade in New York city Miss Van
Kleeck “has penetrated to the one all-effecting aspect of the
industry—its ‘appalling irregularity.’ ... In view of the constant
depression upon wages by unemployment, the keen competition of a trade
attracting a tremendous supply of labor, and the unorganized state of
the industry (some slight attempt to unionize the workers is now being
made), Miss Van Kleeck urges public control of the industry through
the establishment of a minimum wage board and describes the beneficial
results of such a system in Victoria. Around the central fact of the
seasonal character of the millinery trade Miss Van Kleeck groups many
interesting and valuable details. ... Throughout the study, comments
by the workers themselves and pictures of their struggle to make both
ends meet illuminate ‘dry-as-dust’ statistics.” (Survey) There are

A collection of papers by the author of “Music and bad manners” and
“Music after the great war.” Some of them are reprinted from the
Bellman, the Musical Quarterly, and other periodicals. The papers are
divided into the two groups suggested by the title. The interpreters
comprising the first group, are Olive Fremstad; Geraldine Farrar; Mary
Garden; Feodor Chaliapine; Mariette Mazarin; Yvette Guilbert; and
Waslav Nijinsky. Among the essays included as Interpretations are The
problem of style in the production of opera; Notes on the “Armide” of
Gluck; The importance of electrical picture concerts; Why music is
unpopular. In “The great American composer,” another essay of the
group, the author makes a spirited plea for appreciation of ragtime.
In “Modern musical fiction,” he reviews recent novels on musical
themes.

“Mr Van Vechten’s most pronounced opinions seem to be on the favorable
arena which the ‘movies’ offer for good symphonic programs, and on the
duty of the American composer to build his art on the indigenous
raciness of Irving Berlin rather than on the classic forms. He is no
more explicit than the other critics, however, as to how the composer
is to use this material. ... The proportion between scholarship and

There is an eight page introduction by the translator on Gustave
Vanzype and the modern Belgian drama. In this Mr Clark states that
“Vanzype believes that dramatists ought to use the stage as a pulpit.”
“Mother Nature” (“La souveraine”) deals with the yearnings of a
disappointed wife for motherhood. “Progress” (“Les étapes”) shows the
struggle between succeeding generations; how the rising generation
must always attack what the preceding generation seems to have
established. It is the story of a family in which father, son-in-law,
and grandson are all doctors. Both plays are said to have been
successfully produced in Belgium.
“The first play is artificial; the second is much more moving and its
theme seems to work out naturally in the conflict of characters and
events.”

=VEBLEN, THORSTEIN B.= Inquiry into the nature of peace and the terms of its perpetuation. *$2 (2c) Macmillan 327 17-16855
Professor Veblen has extended the investigation into the nature of
peace begun by Immanuel Kant “into a field of inquiry which in Kant’s
time still lay over the horizon of the future.” He says “The intrinsic
merits of peace at large, as against those of warlike enterprise, it
should be said, do not here come in question. That question lies in
the domain of preconceived opinion, so that for the purposes of this
inquiry it will have no significance except as a matter to be inquired
into; the main point of the inquiry being the nature, causes and
consequences of such a preconception favoring peace, and the
circumstances that make for a contrary preconception in favor of war.”
Contents: Introductory: On the state and its relation to war and
peace; On the nature and uses of patriotism; On the conditions of a
lasting peace; Peace without honour; Peace and neutrality; Elimination
of the unfit; Peace and the price system. In chapter 3, On the
conditions of a lasting peace, the imperialistic aims of Germany and
Japan are examined. In the next chapter, Peace without honour, the
beneficial results of non-resistance as exemplified in China are
discussed. In the last chapter the author comes to what is to him the
heart of the matter, the menace to peace inherent in the capitalist
system.
“Among books [dealing with the problem of readjustment after the war]
there can be found few if any manifesting a deeper penetration or a
more impartial treatment of the mode of securing a permanent peace and
of the obstacles which lie in the way of it than this volume by
Professor Veblen. It is a dispassionate, objective, and uncompromising
treatment of a most important subject. It is written in an attractive
style. Droll humor lights up a page now and then, and in the treatment
of the foibles of men and nations there is the trenchant irony that is
characteristic of the style Veblenesque.” I. W. Howerth

“Mr Veblen’s manner of writing is symphonic; what he repeats is not
repetition in the common sense of the word; no idea is quite the same
after he has stated it twice or even three times. The theme may be the
same, but the complex working out of the theme gives it the value of
an entirely new composition. Above all there stands a masterly
intellect, holding the various strands of fact and thought securely in
its grasp and weaving them into patterns of compelling truth.” M. S.

“Written in the author’s usual flowing and ironical style, always

finished February, 1917, is, so far as I know, the most momentous work
in English on the encompassment of lasting peace. ... The
recommendation of Mr Veblen is not merely the recommendation of a
great philosopher of industrialism. It is not his relentless logic
alone that elevates him. It is the democratic bias which ‘The nature
of peace’ indicates.” F. H.

Crete with Greece, his part in national Greek politics, leading the
reform movement in Athens, his statesmanship in making possible the
