Huebsch l|g $2.00 Reviewed by Ted Robms6n One has little doubt that ^when all the hysteric attacks that will surely be made upon this book shall have creased, it will remain in the opinion of the unprejudiced critic as Sher- wood Anderson's masterpiece. 'For 4n it he has «i»a4e- *U€4»-Hmar4cedrad-^ vance in technic, in sense of values, in sheer skill of analysis, and has so evidently arrived at the full maturity of his power, that thisij.i..m^y.,^..c.U.. b,e. considered his e^m^^Mi^f;:^'-^' "Many Marriages" will receive one sort of review from the literary critic and another from the ,psycho»neuro~ sis, and however much its author ra- tionalizes the actions of John Webs- ter, thiBse-aistioiis-a4M^-orthodox° symp- toms of a pathic mentality. The book is at its core a study in abnormal psy- chology.__ .__......__,. But what would be no more than a clinical record in other hands is made by the genius of Sherwood Anderson a work of sheer art. It is art that will repel- the squeamish, shock the con- ventional, drive the delicate-minded to anger and disgust. The method pursues by John Webster in trying to justify himself to his daughter and explain himself to 4»is-wif^=is=--gr0tes- que and insane. His exhibitionism, his, narcissism, stand out in ugly nakedness. And yet, in the very rationalizing of these symptoms, a modern philoso-: phy of emancipation from the clutches of the past emerges with power. II Roses! PlPlttlf mm working in, it is worth planning for. Those who have never planned a gar- den just as they wanted to have it, have -missed one of the keenest joys. It's a mistaken idea that we must be an architect to plan a garden. The fundamentals once studied, and fol- lowed, will show the right methods and rewards will blossom in the form of gratifying results. As guidesâ€"and unusually good ones for the amateur because they are [ written for amateurs is The Amateur's book oil The iiar- den Series.

"THE HOUSE OF THE FIGHTING COCKS" By Henry Baerlcin Publisher: HarcoUrt, Brace & Co., $2.00 This is a truly delightful book and not to be missed by those who find joy in the adventures of Don Quixote or in Montaigne's wisdom and amusing anec- dotes. It is a picaresque novel of Mexico in the time of Maximilian and the story related_byâ€" Jjuanito,- an Indian -ladr tells of his adventures with Don Eugenic, "ex-librarian of the Bishop of Zaragoza in Aragon;" an engaging Spanish rogttc, Maria, who is casually rescued from a passing soldier by Don Eugenia; and .Djsh- Arcadiov .a mad philosopher. The story itself is vastly entertaining and the characters well drawn, but the chief de- light of the book is Don Eugenio with his humorous appreciation of the ways of man. He discourses on a variety of subjects, often of religion in whimsical conversation, and proudly displays li*s knowledge of books. One minute a kti|n thrust of satire wins bur admiration lid the next we are rocking with hearty laughter over .some scandalous episode. It is a book to be owned, for one reading will never suffice. ;^ V , Cornelia Ougetreeil Impromptu by Elliot H. Paul, pub- lished by Alfred A.

Appleton & Co, $1.09 There are many lives or Christ and man^o|, them are very fine, but it is a real ^eveht whe;f a, literary man of Papini's rank gives himself to the task of writing a new one. You have a right to expect freshness, originality, style and beauty: They are all there. Renan's life of Christ is the only one with which to compare this one but Papini's is better because it is truer. Renan was a priest who had lost him- self in the fog of doubt. Papini, who had been all but an atheist, had re- turned to the full light of faith. The spirit of scepticism and a certain di- Jettanteism pervade! the work of Renan which mars the exquisite beau- ty with which it is written. There is nothing of this in Papini and yet he is not the slave of tradition. You will rise from the reading of this book with the feeling that you have had a new^amiyrevealing- picture ofnJesus Christ.'/lit!â- â- /;', .v ']â- â- 'â- , -;iJl" It will add to your appreciation of Papini if you will read at the same time "Jesus of Nazareth" 'by John M ark.
