And that character is usually ostracized by the group for his or her understanding. â€"All this is _really a device on the part of the author for telling us, the ordinary people, what he thinks of us and our way of living. Sometimes he is complimentary, much more often not. : f Mrs. Glaspell, in her novel, has not, as in the. plays I have mentioned, used any cof the supernatural eleâ€" ments in her "extra" character. He is Ambrose Holt who wandered away from his family twentyâ€"seven years ago, leaving his wife and infant son to shift for themselves, because he felt that life as it is usually lived is a wall built between us and reality, and he had a fancy to get behind that wall. When he wanders back, his son meanwhile having grown up, become a poet and married a rich man‘s daughter, he finds in his son‘s wife the one person who can understand. Blossom whom everyone, including her husband, has .thought a pretty little fool, is the only one who talks the same language as Ambrose. â€": In "Ambrose Holt and Family" Susan Glaspell has employed a deâ€" vice well known in literature, for exâ€" ample in the plays, "The Servant in the House" or in "Death Takes a Holiday," examples which first come to my mind. You have a group of ordinary people and among them one character is introduced who has such a different point of view, background and ideals, that it is as if he spoke Greek as far as the other characters are concerned, wHY NOT BETTER? _ "AMBROSE HOLT AND FAMILY" COMIC RELIEF "1066 AND ALL THAT" _But alas, none of these characters is entirely convincing.© Ambrose Holt isn‘t, he doesn‘t make you feel that he was quite sincere in going off or that he gained enough wisdom to jusâ€" tify his doing so. His son, the poet, isn‘t, he is much too much the spoiled small boy to convince you he is either & charming man or a poet of conseâ€" quence, It‘s odd, but Mrs. Glaspell in her novels reaches out for but always misses something. Isn‘t it sentimenâ€" tality which is responsible for her failure ? "1066 and All That," a huamorous history. by W. C. Sellar and R. J. Yeatman, is a ridiculous book, It is even rarer than that in being genâ€" uinely funny. â€"It is a takeâ€"off on the sort of hodge podge of misinformaâ€" tion, vague impression and conjecture, which might stick in one‘s mind left over from the ordinary high school history course. _ _ . ~. _ n es By W, C,.

The National Debt is a very Good Thing and it would be dangerous to pay it off, for fear of Political Economy." In a list of English wars, there is "the 2nd Burmese War. Cause: There had been only one Burmese war, Burâ€" mese cut to pieces. Burma ceded to crown. Peace with Burma. . . . War against Zulus. Cause: the Zulus. exterminated. Peace with Zulus." In each case the end is the same, inâ€" habitants exterminated, peace made with the inhabitants.
