The story is laid in the England of a hundred years ago, and is always very ,picturesque. ,Tbe' costùmed, characters,. theé strangeness of. tbe bouse on the moors, the weird witcb- like and eîf-like minor characters in tbe background give it a romantic atmospbere. The touch is ligbt,. and' the exaggerated1 romanticisnl' often tecbnically.-excellent. .. As a cbild, the gypsy girl,' Carn1ila, is sold to a dissolute Englishman liv- ing with his. family in a secluded spot. on the moors,. and she grows -up %vith, bis children., She Iearns English ways'but. her gypsy blood breaks out at. times.ý When. she1 is old enougli, sbe marries one of the Englishman 's sons, but. soon. finds that she, really loves the other son, who, is "like a.

JUAN IN AMERICA. .By Eric Link-_ later. New York: Jonathan Cape & Harrison Smith. From 'Mr. Mencken's resounding thwacks on the booboisie' and from the discontented intellectuals it is a relief to turn to the, deftesj piece of banter on Americani civilization that has appeared, in years:ý It is not satire. for it is insufficiently serious or 'pene-, trating; it is a higb-spirited lampo),on, .which makes a butt of precisely, tbe features that one likes best to see mocked. Mr. Linklater's Juan-, a tineal descendant on the left hand of Byron's ne'er-do-well, cornes to Amnerica for a tour of adventure. In, these 460 incident-crammed pages he is conducted upon a joyous circuit of ail the grotesque features of our ]a.nd He encouriters ail the drollest sbams and eccentricities of Amnerican life, and bce neets the wliole list,. frorn New York's 3,O0-room bhotels tc, the swamiis of Hollywood, in the same. light-hearted spirit. There is very little in the way of American vagaries tliat. is mnissed. The nocturnal beer-runners oif De- troit and their 'g ay battles; the' racketeers of Chica' , 6 presenited as they conduct one of their most jlavisb§I funerals witb an armor-plated hearse followed by armored cars; a' typical Arnerican university in. full blast, its courses hx. higb-pressure salesmnship In this aitogether admirable book, the tenth major volume in that noble line beginning with "The Sea and thé Jungle" in 1912, are sixteen essays written -overg period.of several years. The l ast. collection'of this sort, "lGifts of, Fortune, appeared as long agi as' 1926., Yet the interval has not been barren, to say .the least, for, in addi- tion to givinig us "«Gallions, Reacb" and "A.1l Our Yesterdays," Mr. Tom- linson bas contributed a number of e ssay s. to vari ,ous periodicals. Five essays, too, bave appeared separat.ely in book form: "A Brown, Owl,". Côte d'Or," #60ne January 'Mornin q;" -"'A Footnote to the War . Books,' and "Between the Lines'." Tbe. first .four of these are reprinted, here, with some revision, and 'alone, more than justify ithe încrefasingey high reputa- tion of tbeir author. Thougb be employs,,a medium bas- ically prosaic and mnatter-of-fact,,the resuit is highly poetical.- For he is a great seer gifted, with a sensitivity akin to that of Keats. A sinmple man, he loves simple, tbings, though .i their .very simplicity be confronts an imponderable enîgma. Out of sound- hns e can be positive only when attacking those who, quite sure of themnselves, deny the mystery wvith glib callousness. Because' of this groping, bis prose, essentially simple and direct, is constantly suggestive of bewildernient and wonder. He bas made of plain prose a vehicle for poetry, flot by altering its-fundanien- tal texture, but by sbeer pow-er of vision and comimand of words.. Here is plain truth, and herein ,is mystery and béauty.
