His new volume of short sto “In Dark Places” (Alfred Knopf), is full of color; it has caught the authentic lure of the Orient. But his tales, too, have something more than color, they have point and pithiness. Anybody who likes a short story that is both short and a story will like these tales. E MIGHT as well confess that there are a lot of books on our shelv: which have been there a long time, w for attention. We have, unfortunately, only one pair of eyes, and they aren't very good ones. Besides, JupcE_ will permit us only one page a week on which to turn your attention from the humors of life to lofty thoughts on literature. So if you exclaim, as we start to mention “Paint,” by Thomas Craven (Harcourt, Brace), “Why, that book came out ages ago!” we can only reply, “Sure, but you should see the date on some of the other books we have!” As a matter of fact, some of them we never shall review. We shall perhaps miss many masterpieces, but it can’t be helped, if people will blot so much white paper with black ink. The reason we read “Paint” was because we've been painting our house. We had a sneaking hope it would tell us how to pay the bill. But it didn’t. “Paint” is all about one of those intense artists who just can’t do anything but create unappreciated masterpieces mothered by elderly _prostitut starve. It is sincerely intended, we feel sure, as a bitter assault upon the smug complacency of America, land of the Harrison Fisher cover, and the Coles Phillips underwear queen, the mild and modest statues by Daniel Chester French, and the Fifth avenue and auc- Terrified Bride—George, look! “Merely the ebb tide, dear.” “Oh, thank goodness!

It’s his privilege to starve, of course, but most people are going to think it's rather pigheaded of him. If a man has something to sell for which there is yet no market, it is the part of wisdom to make a living on the side, as it were, Other folks have to. Is there any real reason why: the artist should be exempt? metimes we suspect a lot of nonsense is written about art and artists. erry Many people are led to. investigate a new religion by the attacks made on it. And by the eternal law of compen- sation, other folks are kept from looking into its merits by its fool defenders. tas “What are you looking so blue for?” “Doctor says I've a touch of yellow jaundice.” (GMDNER Fen-2> It’s getting smaller!
