veâ€" ‘en. by Denis Mackail has cared absoluteâ€" ly nothing about speed. It is a mark of distinct merit in his book that after the first shock of change one is able to adapt oneself to his tempo. He had done in this novel a rather unique and interesting thing, given us the story of a year in Tiverton Square in Londonâ€"it could be no place but Lonâ€" donâ€"the square which is not square, therefore the "square circle." j + We with the author become a sort of wraithâ€"like spectator of the life of the square, with its gardener who plants the buibs which never bloom, who cuts the grass and paints the palâ€" ings, and the residents of the fortyâ€" three houses giving on the square. We pass from character to character, from house to house, never staying more than a few pages with any one of them. This is disconcerting when we become interested in a certain one, thinking, "Ha, here is the heroine," but a few paragraphs more and we are swept on around the corner and are finding someone else unrelated, who must after all be the heroine. â€"One‘s opinion of a new book is influenced necessarily and sometimes for good and sometimes for evil by the book one has just finished readâ€" ing. After the stark fast moving novel by the Polish writer Ferdynand Goetel, for instance, to come to Denis Mackail‘s book "The Square Circle" was something like falling from a swift small modern monoplane onto a hayrack. Now a hayrack is not a bad placeâ€" to be â€" but one ‘finds its pace strangely snailâ€"like after a latest model aeroplane. * wy, Hl.y 21 There is ample scope for character analysis which Mr. Mackail makes use of with the penetration and humor which he has shown in his other, "Greenery Street" and "The Fortunes of Hugo," for example.= _ > 2 There is in the ephemeralness of ourselves,"~ the spectator, something which suggests Virginia Woolf, tho this is objective rather than subjecâ€" tive as with Mrs. Woolf, and occupies far less importance in the book. Yet in this there is the suggestion, "But we shall get no further, it is clear enough, by standing here and arguâ€" ing in a circle of our own ... We must catch our train back to the counâ€" try, which we were so foolish to leave on this burning, blistering day, and, if we want to learn more about life in Tiverton Square, we must be paâ€" tient and wait until some, at any rate, ‘of the inhabitants have reâ€" turned." LIFE IN THE SQUARE /«~~"PTHEâ€"SQUARE CIRCLE" "Under Three Tsars" by Elizabeth Narishkinâ€"Kurakin is, particularly in this period of breathless interest in Russia, a book of great timelinéss and interest. The Princess lived a By Elizabeth Narishkinâ€"Kurakin. E. P. Duitton & Co. "UNDER THREE TSARS" By Denis Mackail. Houghton Mifflin Co. L ESTHER GOULDS hTRAVEL â€" CORNE R a% long and eventful life, first in the dipâ€" lomatic. circles of European capitals, returning at the end of her girlhood to take the important position in the society of St. Petersburg to which her rank entitled her. The â€"Princess is singularly fairâ€" minded for one who benefitted so greatly by the old regime and had everything to lose by the Revolution. She also shows a great deal of politiâ€" cal acumen for a woman of that time when women were supposed to be ornaments rather than thinking memâ€" bers of society. She sees how blindâ€" ly the Tsars made their mistakes, how even as far back as the liberation of the serfs in 1861 there was the chance of averting the Revolution. But the liberation was only half carried out, in that no adequate provision was made for their. making a livelihood afterward. Then the disastrous Crimâ€" ean war and the moment in 1880 when the whole cry of the people was Tor a constitution. Yet the Tsar turn= ed a deaf ear.. Time after time in the blind obstinacy and futility of these rulers we are reminded of the heartless .and.prophetic words "After me, the Deluge." They seemed only to want to get through their lives without giving up any of the autoâ€" cratic privileges and luxuries to which they had been usedâ€"tho in mortal fear for their lives much of the time â€"let the reckoning come after them. Those who enjoyed "The Education of a Princess" will find a great deal of enjoyment in this further story of the incredible old regime in Russia.
