In fact this characteristic would, in ordinary life, be called more than half mad, and weak at that. However, there are such people, and to that extent the book to us to ille. The first story, "The Charmer of Snakes," deals with a waywird wo- man with mysterioas moods and fantastic fancles. Personally, we have no patien c with people of that sort, but that is culy our own peculiarity. Many people bars diferent tastes. This lane fal female mantes a man pornly as a whim.

Incidentally, novel-writers very often deplet situations in which sanitary questions would Intrude unpleasantly if the scenes were res), Here, then, in the desert, the two Idiots brood and moon about aimlessly, and Mr. Hichens is carelal to emphasize and reiterate the fact that they slept in a parara tents—which is raiber an unnecessary Inalstence on detail.

There is no mention of any difically about language; it has not been specified that the could speak Moorish or that the snake charmer knew English. The story is In the first place impossible, in the second place unwholesome, and in the third place-perhaps the most, or only, important point-anastric tivo. To some, however, it will be attractive, namely to those who, like Sir Edward Amold and his school, reo everything uncivilized and barbarous through rose-inted glasses. As the polygamy and prostitution pervading Japanese domesite life have been hallowed and glameurised by poetic license, se the nameless borrors of barbaric life in Morocco are glossed over and Idestised in this book. We dislike to see a theatrical tinsel pat on the dirty and depraved manpers and customs of Crude civiliations; we have no special dislike for the savages who debase women to the level of tame breeding-civile, as in Aangão, but we have a dislike for the glorification of such savages. The grammar of the book is not beyond remeach. Hers is a quotation:-"This

dancing Methuselah caught Renhew's attention,

and, for the moment, he forgot to look at the miracle men. A general outcry from the maltitude made him turn his head." Whose 'kend? Renfrew's or Methuselah's or the miracle man's. Here is another quotation:“Scarcely had my cry died away than 1 know," which is
