Chapter 62

20–11395

From the preface contributed to this collection of poems by Frederick Morgan Padelford, it is to be inferred that the poems were accepted by the English department of the University of Washington in lieu of a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts, on the ground that “the creation of art is at least as severe a test of culture and of refined and disciplined thinking as the ability to reason sagely upon the art created by others.” The poems are grouped under the headings; A garland for Euterpe; Remembrances: Eccentricities: Pro patria.

“Our ‘strong’ young poets will doubtless see too much of softly falling rain or gently moving cloud to please them in the volume, too much of Mother Nature and too little of human nature.”

HUGHES, RUPERT.Momma, and other unimportant people. *$2 (2c) Harper

20–20946

Thirteen short stories with the titles: “Momma”; The stick-in-the-muds; Read it again; The father of waters; Innocence; The college Lorelei; Yellow cords; The split; A story I can’t write; The butcher’s daughter; The quick-silver window; The dauntless bookkeeper; You hadn’t ought to. The stories have appeared in Collier’s and other magazines.

“If the people all belong to about the same class, the stories themselves are of very uneven merit, several of them being very good, while others are distinctly poor. The book gives, take it all in all, an accurate picture of certain phases of American life.”

HUGHES, RUPERT.What’s the world coming to? il *$1.90 (1c) Harper

20–8631

Bob Taxter, coming home from the war, learns that he has inherited ten thousand dollars. His first thought is that now he will be free to marry April, the girl he has loved and quarrelled with since childhood. But he finds that April too has inherited money, a much larger sum than his own. He straightway sets about making more and turns his attention to oil. And quite opportunely Joe Yarmy and his sister Kate appear on the scene. The old homestead in Texas is all ready to gush oil. They need only capital. Bob bites, but April is sceptical. They quarrel and she returns his ring. Bewildered, Bob finds himself engaged to marry Kate. But there has been another sceptic, old Uncle Zeb, family retainer of the Taxters, now a “professor of vacuum cleaning.” It is he who thwarts the wedding plans, redeems the ten thousand dollars and the Taxter diamonds. This is the story, but the book abounds in an astounding array of other matters, doggerel verses current at the time, statistics, price lists, quotations from the Brewers’ board of trade, and the author’s opinions on prohibition and social conditions generally.

“The plot is fairly complicated, and interspersed with a very great deal of comment and of moralizing, some of which is worth reading, though most of it is exceedingly trite. The novel is inordinately long, but no doubt it will please Mr Hughes’s admirers.”

“The story is a potpourri of post-war conditions and incidents loosely put together.”

HUGHES, TALBOT.Dress design, il $4 Pitman 391

The book is one of the Artistic crafts series of technical handbooks edited by W. R. Lethaby, and is “an account of costume for artists and dressmakers.” (Sub-title) The object of the series is to encourage greater consideration for design and workmanship and the object of this particular volume is to emphasize the craftsman and artistic side of costume making and to “separate in some degree the more constant elements of dress from those which are more variable.” (Preface) Although cast into the form of history it is also a book of suggestions to modern dressmakers. The book is profusely illustrated with figures and full-page plates and a special feature has been made of supplying the maker or designer of dress with actual proportions and patterns, gleaned from antique dresses. Beginning with prehistoric dress, both male and female, successive chapters are given to the development of costume in the different centuries including the nineteenth. There is an index and a detailed list of patterns.

20–4902

“Professor Hulbert is well equipped for writing the story of the early development of the transportation routes of the United States, for he has already published sixteen volumes on the pioneer roads and canals, based upon personal observation and firsthand study. In the monograph under review the author has brought together the best results of his earlier labors and woven them into a connected narrative of the part which trails, roads, canals, and natural waterways have played in our commercial development.”—Am Hist R

“The interest of the author in his subject has at times betrayed him into extreme forms of statement, but on the whole he has maintained a fair balance.” E. L. Bogart

“The progress both in historical scholarship and in the author’s knowledge is shown by a comparison of this mature and carefully wrought volume with the earlier ‘Historic highways of America’ published some fifteen to eighteen years ago by the same author. The enthusiasm has remained, and has deepened and broadened with the author’s enlarging acquaintance with the subject, until it has evoked a notable epic of transportation.” L. P. Kellogg

“An extremely readable volume.”

HUMPHREY, ZEPHINE (MRS WALLACE WEIR FAHNESTOCK).[2]Sword of the spirit. *$2.50 Dutton

20–8516

“The novel begins with the marriage of a young couple well endowed with this world’s goods, who are ardently infatuated with each other. Every one looks upon it as a most desirable match in every way, and at first the young husband and wife are superlatively happy. Then the little rifts begin to appear. The girl is of a very spiritual nature. The husband lives upon a distinctly lower level, is frankly material in his enjoyment of life. The climax comes with some riotous living on his part, which includes too much toying with the wine cup. The barrier that has grown between them seems impassable, and wreckage threatens their marriage. The situations and developments by which the author chastens and humbles both of them and finally brings them together again are plausible and emotional.”—N Y Times

“Miss Humphrey has shown no lack of temerity and assurance in handling the things of the spirit; but in so doing she has merely revolved around her subject without ever really grappling it. The novel, as a whole, is neither pleasing nor convincing.”

“It is, perhaps, in construction and development and emotional tensity the best work she has yet done. There is, indeed, much fine and keen perception of spiritual beauty throughout the book.”

HUMPHREYS, ELIZA M. J. (GOLLAN) (MRS DESMOND HUMPHREYS) (RITA, pseud.).Diana of the Ephesians. *$1.75 (1c) Stokes

20–2263

The hero of this story is the incarnation of egotism, self-conceit and arrogant, heartless megalomania. She is a Greek girl of doubtful parentage, her father an Englishman. Claiming the guardianship of an English professor she comes to England at the age of seventeen, consumed with ambition to become a great writer and under the delusion of being the daughter of some great personage. Rough-shod she walks over everybody in the home that has received her; wheedles herself into the good graces of an old lord; has a brief but dazzling and artificial career and sinks into oblivion as the bubble of her genius bursts and the true secret of her humble origin is revealed.

“The story is well written and entertaining, but endows the girl with improbable power.”

“The leading character, though exaggerated and decidedly bizarre, is interesting and keeps the reader wondering what she will find to do next. The novel is interesting, and its plot is more than a little out of the ordinary.”

“The story’s rapid action, its multitude of interesting detail, and the singular character of the heroine engage the reader’s attention throughout 500 closely printed pages.”

HUMPHREYS, ELIZA M. J. (GOLLAN) MRS DESMOND HUMPHREYS) (RITA, pseud.).Truth of spiritualism. *$1.25 Lippincott 134

20–7778

“‘Rita’ has closely examined the different phenomena of spiritualism, with the result that she believes it does reveal more than the church has told us as to the condition of the departed; and that, though not ‘an orthodox religion,’ it is ‘the root and source of all religions.’”—The Times [London] Lit Sup

“Rita’s denunciations will hardly make much difference, especially as they are often more eloquent than intelligible.”

“A maze of vague, incoherent, unproven assertions, a jumble of rambling nonsense, of stuffy, sickly sentimental Raymondiana, interspersed with impassioned tirades against Christianity as seen through the spectacles of ignorance, prejudice, and calumny, and hovering above all this the arrogant, self-canonized opinion of Mrs Humphreys, run amuck among truths beyond its grasp and appreciation, ignorant, irrational, defiant, indecent and sacrilegious.”

“The converted will no doubt read her disquisition with pleasure; but it cannot be said to add anything of importance to the controversy.”

HUNEKER, JAMES GIBBONS.Bedouins. il *$2 (5½c) Scribner 780.4

20–5751

Some of Mr Huneker’s bedouins, in this collection of essays, are real and some are fictitious. A number of the essays are devoted to Mary Garden, whom the author admires as a “wonderful artiste” and an “extraordinary woman,” others to Debussy, Mirbeau, George Luks, Chopin, Caruso, Anatole France. All partake of the nature of extravaganzas, particularly the fiction. The book falls into two parts: Mary Garden, and Idols and ambergris. Under part 1 some of the titles are: Superwoman; The baby, the critic, and the guitar; The artistic temperament; The passing of Octave Mirbeau; Anarchs and ecstasy; Caruso on wheels; A masque of music. Among the contents of part 2 are: The supreme sin; Venus or Valkyr? The cardinal’s fiddle; The vision malefic.

“We find Mr Huneker unreadable. It is not only the rush and freshness of his style, which has all the marvellous energy of a woman in hysterics, that we find unendurable, but we can attach no meaning to what he says.”

“He has a marvellous power of suggesting, of stimulating, of suddenly burbanking widely separated notions and as suddenly dissociating them. As some one said about him, his brilliancy and versatility hide his profundity. ‘Bedouins’ is a book without a desert.” B: de Casseres

“James Huneker’s writing is full of sound and fury but it signifies a good deal. His criticism is backed by a real knowledge of most of the arts in most of the centuries.”

“Maeterlinck wrote: ‘I have marvelled at the vigilance and clarity with which you follow and judge the new literary and artistic movements in all countries.’ ‘Bedouins’ is a new illustration of this vigilance and clarity. His pages on Anatole France, though different in style, are worthy of being included in Henry James’s little read but wonderful book on ‘French poets and novelists.’” H: T. Finck

“Mr Huneker is, to me, the greatest master of English prose living today, and ‘Bedouins’ shows no weakening of his hand.” B: de Casseres

“Mr Huneker’s enthusiasm and good nature win acceptance for his literary caprices; he is always to be distinguished from his imitators of the Mencken-Nathan order.”

HUNEKER, JAMES GIBBONS.Steeplejack. 2v il *$7.50 Scribner

20–16114

“Mr Huneker has been for many years one of the best known of the music and dramatic critics in New York. These volumes give an entertaining running account of his relations with musicians, artists, men and women of the stage, and authors, both here and in Europe.”—R of Rs

“Whatever the talk, the brilliant style, the startling paradoxes, and the individuality of the writer’s reactions make it interesting.”

“His book is the romance of the year.” B: de Casseres

“Mr Huneker is seen in his confessions as a very human being, rich in experience and mellow in philosophy. His narrative becomes by turns merry, stinging, meditative, instructive; but never dull, hypocritical, or self-laudatory. He has performed a difficult task with the utmost skill, albeit with no dainty hand.” Margaret Ashmun

“Through all the disjointed mass of youthful recollection Mr Huneker has never been dull. Only when he gets onto the current era, in volume two, does his blast of steam become inconsequential. He pounds his fists, strikes his favorite pose, gesticulates and roars; but when he discusses his contemporaries—puff; his charm is gone. His autobiography as well as his career is for the most part distinctive, versatile, individual.” J. B. A.

“It is easily the non-fiction book of the year in this country, where there are so many persons and so few individuals. It is the challenge of a cultured superman to his generation. And withal a profoundly human book.” B. D.

“In a less ebullient individuality the cultivation of the ego would make for boredom; in the case of Mr Huneker a conscious and concentrated development of personality has enriched our insight into contemporary peregrinations of the spirit.” L. R. Morris

“The first impression left by this stimulating and quite unconventional autobiography is that of a personally conducted tour thru the literary and artistic ‘Who’s who?’ of the past fifty years. One’s second thought is an involuntary wish, not that Mr Huneker’s life had been less rich in varied scenes and privileged friendships, but that he had given us a narrower and more selective perspective. Yet it would be the sheerest ingratitude to imply that other methods and proportions would have made a better book.” F: T. Cooper

Reviewed by E. L. Pearson

“‘Steeplejack’ should appeal to anyone who cares to recall the artistic, musical, literary, and journalistic history of America in the past thirty years.” E. L. Pearson

“Both volumes well repay perusal.”

“It is a gay, happy, animated recital, not of high importance as intellectual biography, but preserving a good many recollections worth preserving and giving a full-length picture of a temperament which the reader will agree with possessor in calling more continental than American. ‘Steeplejack’ takes us to three cities—Philadelphia, Paris and New York. Will one’s taste be indictable for dulness if it selects Philadelphia as the most interesting?”

HUNGERFORD, EDWARD.[2]With the doughboy in France. il *$2 (2c) Macmillan 940.477

20–20074

“A few chapters of an American effort” the author calls this book, meaning the work of the Red cross, which seemed to him such an outpouring of affection, of patriotism, of a sincere desire to serve, as he had never before seen. It is not a consecutive narrative but a series of descriptions, well illustrated, under the headings: America awakens; Our Red cross goes to war; Organizing for work; The problem of transport; The American Red cross as a department store; The doughboy moves toward the front; The Red cross on the field of honor; Our Red cross performs its supreme mission; The Red cross in the hospitals of the A. F. F.; “Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag”; When Johnny came marching home; The girl who went to war.

“If one desires to know what our Red cross men and women did for their country, he will find the story here.” E. J. C.

“The method of the book is to recount in a chatty, journalistic way the general experiences of the Red cross, and, incidentally, of the armies. The total effect, unfortunately, is of triviality.”

HUNT, H. ERNEST.Self-training. *$1.25 (3c) McKay 131

(Eng ed SG19–89)

In laying down the lines of mental progress it is the object of the book to teach men how to become master workmen in the art of living by building up correct dominant ideas into the subconscious. He describes the important part played by the subconscious mind, how our health and our activities are constantly under the control of an accumulated stock of ideas and how this stock of ideas can in turn be controlled by a conscious effort of the will. Contents: The nature of mind; Mind at work; Thought and health; Suggestion; Training the senses; Memory; The feelings; Will and imagination; The machinery of nerves; Extensions of faculty; Self-building; The spiritual basis.

“Good for the discouraged person who is capable of taking himself in hand.”

HUNTER, GEORGE MCPHERSON.When I was a boy in Scotland. (Children of other lands books) il *$1 (4c) Lothrop 914.1

The author, who is now a clergyman in the United States, writes of: The place where I was born; My schools and school-teachers; Our games and play; Tales of my grandfathers; High days and holidays in Scotland; Days on the beach and among the heather; Tramps in and around Glasgow, etc. The last chapter tells how he went to sea, returned to Glasgow university, and then came to America.

“To read this book is not only to know a real Scotch lad but to learn many things in a pleasing way.”

HURLEY, EDWARD NASH.New merchant marine. il *$3 (3½c) Century 387

20–11687

This is the second volume in the Century foreign trade series. The author was formerly chairman of the United States shipping board and has written “The awakening of business” and other books. In the present work he sketches the history of American shipping but devotes most of his space to future problems of foreign trade. Among the chapters are: Our past glories on the sea; Organization of the United States shipping board; Preparing for ship construction under war conditions; Methods by which tonnage was acquired; The new merchant marine; American commerce in the western hemisphere; American commerce in Australia and the Far East; The economical operation of ships; Reaction of ships upon national industries; Americanization and re-orientation. The book is illustrated, has two appendices and an index.

“The book contains a wealth of timely suggestions and detailed instruction in practice and methods.”

HUSBAND, JOSEPH.Americans by adoption. il $1.50 (4c) Atlantic monthly press 920

20–10511

The volume contains biographical sketches of nine prominent, foreign-born “Americans by choice” with an introduction by William Allan Neilson, himself a foreigner, and president of Smith college. He holds that what men want most is “to count among their fellows for what they are worth.” That America is giving its citizens of foreign birth this opportunity is the underlying reason for the book. Each sketch is accompanied by a portrait and the subjects of the sketches are: Stephen Girard; John Ericsson; Louis Agassiz; Carl Schurz; Theodore Thomas; Andrew Carnegie; James J. Hill; Augustus Saint-Gaudens; Jacob A. Riis.

“An interesting addition to any public or high school library.”

“Mr Husband’s book, however flowery some of its phraseology may be, is yet a trumpet call.” E. F. E.

“Now, I am convinced that these interesting records will ‘inspire,’ in the matter of Americanism, only those who are inspired already. Mr Husband does not seem to realize, in the first place, that it is quite impossible for people nowadays to admire very greatly such heroes as Stephen Girard, James J. Hill and Andrew Carnegie. It is an old fallacy of ours to suppose that we alone have produced men of this kind. But Mr Husband makes a virtue of every accident.”

“This little volume, beautifully introduced by W. A. Neilson, should have its worthy place in any bibliography of Americanization.”

“The book is highly appropriate as a high-school reader or reference book.”

“The book is based on pure fiction, so far as America is concerned. In the first place, since the constitution does not provide for conferring the freedom of the nation on foreigners, there are no ‘Americans by adoption.’ Mr Husband’s portraiture is rather in keeping with the ideas propounded by Mr Neilson in the preface; his heroes are made to look like ‘Efficiency Edgar.’” B. L.

HUTCHINSON, EMILIE JOSEPHINE.Women’s wages. (Columbia univ. studies in history, economics, and public law) pa *$1.50 Longmans 331.4

19–18237

“This book, submitted as a doctor’s thesis to Columbia university, is a painstaking, clearly written analysis of the wages of women and the factors affecting them. Nearly half the space is given to a discussion of minimum-wage legislation and its possibilities. Trade unionism and vocational training are included with minimum-wage laws as the chief methods of raising the present low standards. The facts presented are drawn almost exclusively from reports prepared before the war, and although occasional references are made to the work of women during the war, and their position after it, the discussion seems not to have been influenced by the changes in the aspects of labor problems since 1914.”—Am J Soc

“The postponement of the publication of this useful laboriously prepared study makes the data seem curiously obsolete.” Edith Abbott

“It is unfortunate that certain old opinions, which have never had satisfactory statistical proof, such as ‘from five to seven years is the average length of the girl’s wage-earning life,’ are repeated without supporting evidence. As a history of data and opinions before the war the book is useful, and with the persistence of many of the same tendencies in women’s work, it will have continued value.” Mary Van Kleeck

“‘Women’s wages’ is encouraging in its wholesome lack of optimism.”

“A unique and much needed piece of work.” Signe Toksvig

“This admirable study digests with fairness and with intelligence the available data concerning women’s wages in this country. The book she has produced excellently covers its field.” W. L. C.

HUTCHINSON, HORATIO GORDON.Portraits of the eighties, il *$4 Scribner 920

(Eng ed 20–22470)

“Since the Right Hon. George W. E. Russell has himself written about so many of his contemporaries, it is fitting that he should hold the place of honor, with a frontispiece portrait, in Mr Hutchinson’s ‘Portraits of the eighties.’ After this introductory chapter dealing with Mr Russell we are given a graphic series of pen portraits of men of such diverse interests as Gladstone, John Bright, Parnell, General Gordon, Archbishop Temple, Professor Huxley, William Morris Swinburne, George Frederick Watts, Sir W. S. Gilbert, Oscar Wilde and W. G. Grace, Mr Hutchinson’s survey of English personalities extending thereby from statesmanship to cricket-playing.”—Boston Transcript

“There are too many (over 30) portraits and groups attempted in these 300 pages; comparatively few lines can be given to each, and Mr Hutchinson is not master of the economy of telling and characteristic strokes. The fortuitous medley of the scrap-book may, however, afford entertainment, and even a degree of instruction.” F. W. S.

“The book is full of important facts brought together in an accessible form. But Mr Hutchinson has little penetration and suffers in any comparison that is drawn between his work, which may be admitted to be good, and the work which is entitled to be called excellent of some recent writers.” Theodore Maynard

“As an abstract and brief chronicle of its decade, Mr Hutchinson’s book fulfils the promise of its title.” E. F. E.

“The book does not possess the brilliant style or keen analysis of Mr Strachey’s ‘Eminent Victorians,’ but is discriminating and, if not characterized by any remarkable insight is generally fair in its judgment.”

“Mr Hutchinson is an impressionist, working with a broad and sometimes rather careless brush, yet seldom failing to make his portrait live. A gentle judge of the private characters of his subjects, he is a circumspect critic of their public activities.”

HUTTEN ZUM STOLZENBERG, BETTINA (RIDDLE) freifrau von.Happy house. *$1.75 (2c) Doran

20–1214

Happy house the young bride called her new home, but it soon became a euphemism. Violet Walbridge slaved with her pen to give without stint to a worthless husband and a large thoughtlessly exacting family. As the quality of her novels is falling off into mere rubbish, and with it the quantity of her income, a young journalist discovers her rare character as a woman. He also falls in love with her youngest daughter but the course of his true love does not run smoothly. During his devious courtship of Grisel, his friendship for his would-be-mother-in-law becomes a rejuvenating elixir for the latter and enables her to write a real true-to-life modern story, that reinstates her in the good graces of her publishers.

“A pleasant character study of an interesting group.”

“The plot itself might well have been composed by its heroine.” M. E. Bailey

“In ‘Happy house,’ Baroness von Hutten has written a story which should not by rights be readable, but into which she has managed to infuse a certain amount of vitality. It is a ghost but there are moments when its gestures are sufficiently life-like, and despite its rattling bones we follow its motions.” D. L. M.

“As a whole, the book is decidedly pleasing and out of the ordinary.”

“‘Happy house’ is a quiet little story of the domestic type, but Oliver Wick and Violet Walbridge make it worth while.”

“The novel is entertaining rather than deep.”

“Towards the end of the book a few incredible things happen, but one forgives these in gratitude for the careful and convincing character drawing.”

“In the tragedy of a once popular novelist, who has become something of a fallen star, and in the very casual way in which, even when her star was at its zenith, she has always been regarded by her own family, there are great possibilities. But the Baroness von Hutten scarcely makes the most of it, and dares so little to rely on it that she introduces two sub-plots which, though mechanically linked with this main theme, have no artistic bearing upon it.”

HUTTEN ZUM STOLZENBERG, BETTINA (RIDDLE) freifrau von.Helping Hersey. *$1.90 (2c) Doran

20–26758

A book of collected short stories from the pen of this author of many popular novels. The title story is a study of two women, mother and daughter, in their relation to one man, an American, who at first misjudges both and is later led to reverse his opinions. First place in the collection is given to Peterl in the Black forest, a sketch written in 1913 with all the marks of a study from life. The other titles are: In loving memory; Ker Kel; Mrs Hornbeam’s headdress; The common man’s story; The iron shutter; Two Apaches; The principino; Three times; A Berlin adventure.

“Slight but entertaining.”

“It is decidedly agreeable to find such a variety of stories bound in one volume by one author.”

“The Baroness von Hutten’s latest collection of tales displays, as it were, her familiar super-mediocre versatility. And yet to me the most distinguished pieces of writing in the volume are the plotless sketches, ‘Ker Kel,’ a little picture of Brittany, and ‘Peterl in the Black Forest.’” H. W. Boynton

HUXLEY, ALDOUS LEONARD.Leda. *$1.50 Doran 821

20–16190

In this collection of poems the title poem describes the Olympian love episode with singular beauty of diction as well as mundane realism. The other poems, some of which are poetic prose, all betray more or less of sardonic humor, as when the poet suddenly finds himself sobered from the “intoxicating speed” of the merry-go-round when he perceives “a slobbering cretin grinding at a wheel and sweating as he ground, and grinding eternally.” Some of the other titles are: The birth of God; Male and female created He them; Life and art; First—Second—Fifth—and Ninth philosopher’s song; The merry-go-round; Last things; Evening party; Soles occidere et redire possunt.

“We cannot accept it. The elements that Mr Huxley has desired to combine, the precious esoteric beauty and the ugliness which were to be blended into a new comprehensive beauty in whose light nothing should appear common or unclean, are still as unmixed as oil and vinegar. If Mr Huxley wishes to be judged, he should elect to be judged, not by ‘Leda,’ nor by any of the shorter poems in this book, but by ‘Soles occidere et redire possunt.’ As for two-thirds of the shorter pieces, we think he would have been well advised never to print them.” J. M. M.

“Aldous Huxley exposes the fallacy that the imagination needs any special material in which to exercise the creative spirit of poetry. His book opens with a successful and beautiful poem on a mythical legend. The book closes with an elegy for a friend lost in the war, and here the elements are, one might say, sardonically modern, the very naked realities of life gathered up and fused with a temper that makes the spirit of poetry no less golden than the substance in the more remote Hellenic rumor of the seduction of Leda by Zeus in the form of a swan.” W: S. Braithwaite

“When he is complaining or mocking Mr Huxley can rise to real heights of bombast; at such times he writes good mouth-filling stuff with a little of the Elizabethan spirit, but with more acidity. It is for his satires, then, that he is to be valued, rather than for any gropings toward a philosophy; for his prose poems as long as they are satires; for ‘Soles occidere et redire possunt’ as long as it remains a criticism and a complaint. Most of his other work must be disregarded.” Malcolm Cowley

“Mr Huxley has neither the courage to love his themes for their own sakes nor the imagination to get the better of them; therefore, he is not a poet, although every line of his book displays a determination to write something better than the conventional prettifications which people usually call poetry.” J: G. Fletcher

“In ‘Leda’ he offers a volume that will, with all probability, be quite the most unique and interesting addition to the sum total of English poetry for the year. Indeed, it is a book that is unapproached in certain of its manifestations.” H. S. Gorman
