«in $t F3 #} PAGE FOUR t# AND THEY ALL LIVEDâ€" ‘ _ "THE RTERNAL CIRCLE" Thoge who long to see the first love triumph in the end, to see the humble inarticulate lover get the lady of his dreams, will enjoy "The Eternal Cirâ€" cle" by the author of the delightful "Abbe Pierre." i Jared Phelps was a youth of many i ad Enrinl. tarnished after he left Harv: Inâ€" stead of pursuing literature, he purâ€" sued medicine, and when his old colâ€" lege friend, Bob Vance, came to teach philogophy in the university in the former‘s home town, he found his friend a firmly entrenched physician and cynic. | e Then enters the woman next door. The two men resented the house being built there, but when the fair occupant arrives with her brother it takes them only about two weeks to fall collectâ€" ivcly in love, But the fair one, Doroâ€" thy by name, does not fall in love collectifi, or singly, for the present. She is one of those people described by the author as "pure" and "saintly," who calls forth as much sympathy from us as the man in the top hat from the boy with the snowball.‘. Jared, the impulsive one, is the finally accepted suitor, while Bob eats out his heart in loyal gilence. But enter upon the scene Madeline Worthâ€" ington, Jared‘s3, first love who jilted him years ago for another, . Now, disillusioned ‘and unhappy, she turns to Jared as her one true friend, $ And the eternal circle begins to turn back on itself. Jared the man, begins to turn back to the loyalties, the ideals, the dreams of his youth. Our sympathy is decidedly with Jared and . Madeline ‘and . their â€"success, thugh we are mildly pleased when Dorothy discovers that ::W misâ€" taken, it was not Jared had loved after all but Bob. â€" So they all live happily ever after. The author bhas an intensely draâ€" matic gift and a~command of words "which is not only startlingly original but extremely poetic. â€" | _ . A : mad, effervescent, | topsyâ€"turvy hook is this "Doctor Transit" by the anonymous "I. S." Words pour out upon the page as startlingly, someâ€" timq:au incongruously, as a box of blocks emptied all at once upon the floor. > The ‘hero casually meets a friend and a young lady on the street: "She leanedâ€":on her stick makâ€" ing of her lowered eyes a parapet; over them piled shrill, yellow hairâ€" over the small dammed forehead. She laughed sluttishly with garish mouth and the lure ended. ‘Btmq':h, alâ€" most savagely, he unclasped the man‘s arms and thrust them in a commitâ€" ting disdain upon the woman. Me heard them discordantly retreating; and he went home‘ noticing the mild delirium of nightfall." . Dr. Transit is a great scientist. In fact he is said to be himself a "chemâ€" ical product" and not a, normal huâ€" man being at all. He has performed many miracles of science but never the one of dying and coming back to life which is to be the final experiâ€" ment,"but for which he has never had the courage. t During the entire reading of the book we feel that we are in the grip of a "mild delirium." _ . ; & But in the course of his experimentâ€" ation he has discovered a marvellous potion which will make women men, and men women. John and Mary, a young married couple, tHecide to have the change tried on them. They beâ€" come Joan and Marlow, Marlow likes the change but Joan gets restive in a few years and is changed back. He doesn‘t become John -ut but a new person, Jeremiah. And he seems to think that having been | persons gives him the right to digcourse three times as much as other people on life and love, particularly love. Which he does with remarkable a;ttflm.
