In telling of Gardiner Sitwell,; ber hero, Mrs. Austin writes, "Tptlay al these tliings camne togetber suddenly'. in a pattern, like the click of colors in a kaleidoscope. and the name of the pattern was New Mexico'." In' that strong sentence she has iziven the text for "Starry Adventure," and desicribed an experience. wbich, noue wbo read_ thé book can doubt, was. long ago her own. New, Mexico, the, whole, i.s the greatest thing inthe àtory., Like the maskçdý figures of Indian, dancers, the characters are abstractions, or symbols. highly simplified. In tbe case of Gardiner. Sitwell, and the two wonien, Janie and Eudora, between whom be struggles, one fears sonme- times, lest the. surrender of fully analvzed character -in favor of the arch;type may, have gone too fat, but the franknies-s of the.process saves it. As anyone who bas knowni Indians bas learned, tbrougb conventionalizeil figures one niay attain an extraord- inarv analytica.1 realism wltkh gofs. far l)e3rofd the usual minute study of a single individual. This seems to have been Mrs. Austin's intention, and she has succeeded in it admir- ably. Her bandling of some situa- tions is ruthlessly direct. The story is strong in local color:. incidents and descriptions. are flot dragged in, but arise legitimately in the progress of the plot or develop- ment of character.
