Do you always say what you really think? Of course you don't; no one does. Only consider--you meet a stranger--"How do you do?" you say, "I'm so glad to meet you." But are you? More often than otherwise you are not. Mrs. Putnam has exposed in a satiric, though not too bitter spirit this most common of all of our little hypocrisies. In "Orthodoxy" her people say exactly what in their hearts of hearts they are thinking, though they act as we all do. The result is--to say the least--startling. FATHER RALPH: A NOVEL. By Gerald O'Donovan. $1.40 net This novel of present-day Ireland enjoyed an immense success when it appeared in London something over a year ago. Mr. O'Donovan writes delightfully and possesses a style of real distinction. "Father Ralph" presents a faithful picture of the life of the Irish people of today--particularly of their religious life, which is analyzed with shrewdness, insight and humor. But the book has, first of all, those enduring qualities that characterize all good fiction. DRIFT AND MASTERY: AN ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE CURRENT UNREST. By Walter Lippmann. $1.50 net This is a book at once comprehensive, shrewd, vigorous, searching, and interesting--with always a saving humor. In the course of sixteen chapters Mr. Lippmann discusses practically all the more important problems of our political, social, and economic life, and the factors that have brought about that curious unrest everywhere so noticeable. But Mr. Lippmann is a great deal more than a brilliant iconoclast--he deals not only with the signs and causes of the present unrest, but with the order which is emerging from it. THE LITTLE KING: A ONE ACT PLAY IN VERSE. By Witter Bynner. $ .60 net No poet, subtle in sympathy and delicate of touch, ever created a more affecting situation than that portrayed in this pathetic and simple tale of Marie Antoinette's child. Abandoned to dissolute keepers, The Little King, as he listens to his Mother's footsteps overhead, finds solace only in the canary around whose tiny throat he has wound an ironical red patriotic ribbon. Instinctive feeling for the essential dignity of royalty prevents his accepting escape at the cost of another's freedom, and as the curtain falls the last glimmer of light is blotted from his cell and he is left in lonely darkness. Such is the substance of Mr. Bynner's new play. It is written in his usual beautiful and plastic verse. LOVE-ACRE: AN IDYL IN TWO WORLDS. By Mrs. Havelock Ellis. $1.25 net
