By Dhan Gopal Mukerji E. P. Dutton & Co. In "A Son of Mother India Anâ€" swers," Dhan Mukerji gives his reply to Katherine Mayo‘s "Mother India." This latter book has provoked a lot of replies, from economists, scientists, medical men, poets. It is a book which carried a grave indictment of nthblafindthnhflndud] the responsibility they bore toward someone else. They were so serious, these people of the thirteenth cenâ€" tury, so childâ€"like, so cruel and yet often so wise! The love story of Olov and his fosâ€" terâ€"sister, Ingunn, is not a happy one. Yet it is full of beauty, a beauâ€" ty which is not more in the style than in the very movement of the story» itself. ; This, like Miss Undset‘s other long work is a‘story of medineval Norway. What was it in the lives of those peoâ€" ple of a distant day that gave them such dignity, solidarity, form? Sureâ€" ly it is more than distance. The movement of the story is like the measured swaying of their own heavy beautiful garments â€" satins, velvets, brocades, never the easy flirting to and from of the modern flapper‘s abâ€" breviated skirts.. Wasn‘t it, first of all, their religion, which anchored them to spiritual certaintics? Wasn‘t it, second, the closeknit organization of the families which gave form to life, each person being only a unit in} a great important pattern. Even: their names as "Jonsdatter" or John‘s i Daughter, give constant reminder of Norwegian letters entitles her. "Jenâ€" ny" her first work published in this country found a certain number of ardent admirers, her next work, a triology, "Kristan Lavransdatter," made it still more clear that here was a talent of the first order. "The Axe" is the first book of a new triâ€" ology, of which the second is already in translation, Alfred A. Knopf â€" In the past five years in America Sigrid Undset has been coming into the position to which her place in around wits turn to 1928, conscious of the lamentable fact, that with the passing of the Model T Ford they have lost the truest and most useful friend of all." That is an aspect we hadn‘t thought of and one which dwarfs the falling off of the second hand market.
