STRtAM ott TRAVEL"- Jam.es Hall. ] ames Nornian Hall is one of those writers whose gift seems to lie in being a peculiarly sensitive barometer to thi ngs about him, in recording the most delicate pressure of the atmosphere which would not have been perceptible to us even had we been there. So his books of travel become not a poor and tasteless substitute for hav·ing done the thing ourselves, but a series of delightful adventures which we could enjoy in no other way. Mr. Hall is one of those fortunate men who 'may .be sitting in Iceland in the morning, and if his fancy dictates be on his way to a tropic island by afternoon. We who have roots which m~st be dug up and hacked off before we can so much as move a hundred miles from our place of residence, sit listening with a wondering and worshipful envy in our eyes. In his style touched with the most delicate humor he gives us the verv essence of that universal thirst for adventure of which a tailroad with its shining narrowing rails, or a freight train creaking and lumbering steadily along is the veritable epitome. -ESTH~R Gou r.n.
