B. Wyndham Lewis, an Englishman critic, journalist, and playwright. The book is a scholar- ly one but, if Mr. Lewis' account of his life furnished to his publishers is a criterion, it is also a lively one. Part of his history runs "Was to have read for the law had not the Great War broken out to my greater relief. Joined the Army and by the time of the armistice had risen without influence of any kind to the rank of second- lieutenant. Went into the trenches, disliked them, kept on disliking them, disliked them more and more and then got shell shock. . ." After telling of a man condemned for a murder he didn't commit in Scot- land, and describing the account of the case which is soon to be published, the publishers naively conclude "The Brit- ish Government compensated Slater for his imprisonment with a liberal sum of money." How much would you con- sider twenty of your years unjustly spent in prison were worth? "THE FLUTES OF SHANGHAI" By Louise Jordan Miln Frederick A. Stokes We would consider it an achieve- ment if we had written as many stories about China as Mrs. find new titles for them and new names for our characters. Louise Jordan Miln has gone far beyond that, she has found a new plot. "The Flutes of Shanghai" is one of those charming not hair-raising novels of life of the English in China. There is always the girl, usually a visitor in the Orient, and the man, perhaps a visitor and perhaps, as this time, having lived all his days in China. There is usually a match-making mother or aunt, they must be common in those regions. John Cadell is the richest bachelor and best catch in Shanghai, though most of the maidens and widows have given him up long since as a bad job. But Ruth Blake having just arrived with her match-making aunt doesn't know he is hopeless and has the in- spiration to laugh at him on first meeting. This is an excellent move for while it makes them mad it piques their curiosity, and anything is better in the confirmed variety than bore- dom. But even with interest roused all is not plain sailing. These are grave days in China and Cadell is in- terested in her politics and her wel- fare to the extent of often quite for- getting Ruth's existence. He has also had the poor taste to make himself the center of the most delightful scan- dal in Shanghai. But aided by the flutes, which are a charming touch the real music of old China, every- Miln even to is the Plaza. economically--in on food goodness. the Plaza.

"RYDER" By Djuna Barnes Horace Liveright "And speak not of Me, for thou knowest not of what thou speakest, nor knowest what thou hast given or taken, thou knowest not where thou beganest to ravel and where I caught thee up on my needle." Truly might these, its own words, be written at the head of a review of "Ryder" this de- cidely amazing book given by Djuan Barnes to a censoring world. (The book was censored in manuscript, has' been censored again, and is probably due for and certainly by most stand- ards would profit by a third course in asterisks.) "Ryder" is a book conceived and ex- ecuted in the spirit of Rabelais and James Joyce, Cabell and the Eliza- bethans. It is not a book to read aloud to a child. It is not a book to read to yourself unless you like the "lusty" "robust" joy in the physical elements of living which a so-called higher civilization is supposed to dis- courage. It is written in beautiful prose with one or two chapters thrown into Chaucerian verse. It is delight- fully illustrated by the author. It has altogether the masculine and not the feminine touch. Djuna Barnes is one of the "Little Review" group which made perhaps the most distinguished and memorable chapter in the literary history of Chi- cago. W. N.
