FAMILY NAME By Arnold Lunn Publishers Lincoln MacVeagh The Dial Press New York LUNN whose one novel concerned with English boarding school ARNOLD very favorably known has here written another to deal with the questions of the Jew in relation to British society in the present He pi it from both sides with the same fairness that is maintained in the discussion of other questions of social prejudices and differences that enter into the book but the while Mr Lunn himself branches from the English aristocracy it would seem that at the conclusion the Semitic has a little the best of the argument "- Between Daniel Martinez scion of an old Jewish family of culture and wealth and the Viscount Fairlight Claude Lysham there had existed a strong friendship from then- days together at Harrow cemented by a common passion for the sport of mountain climbing Claude who had been about to marry a pretty but stupid heiress in order to save Fairlight House which was falling to pieces is killed during an Alpine climb His friend Dan having been more than half in love with Claude’s sister Moira is encouraged to ask her to marry him knowing that his wealth will keep the family estate for her It now being Moira’s duty with Claude she loves is gone to marry wealth she accepts since Dicky Boyle whom only a penniless subaltern and cannot think of marrying foris years not until they Though they have known each other for many years it are married that Moira and Dan realize how little they know each other really how far apart they are in temperament m tastes and mental ment and the honeymoon is scarcely over before they know the experiment is not likely to be a success Dan’s intellectuality wearies Moira the Moira is fond of sports huntgayety and excitement she adores bore him mountain-tlimbing which Dan ing skiing racing but will not enjoy the loves She hates to be reminded of his Jewishness in which he has pride he finds her gay noisy set detestable and remains on the' outside "the unabsorbed

he is Rye firmly determined to keep his son and bring up the coming the ancient as a Jew feeling that it signalizes a triumph for his race in nts - fctril££l& The book’s discussions of these racial

novel "The Green Bay Tree" Mr Bromfield has made a consistent progress "The Strange Story of Miss Annie Spragg" marking a high point in his career and the present book shows no diminution of his powers It has all that richness of characterization and unfailing variety that have distinguished its predecessors In Pierre Radier whom one cannot applaud and may not condemn he has created a dominating personality a character vitally alive moving Pierre’s was a strange by chosen paths toward an inevitable destiny — had never who known of his existence father the heritage probably to a distinguished family of Jewish bankers of Dusseldorf and had fatten passionately m love with the celebrated Madame Azais leopaid trainer withTne circus who had been persuaded by his family to give him

politician statesman or orator the lover and husband aa saint or quite the reverse according to the Edgar Lee Masters' version— Mr Carnegie s volume cannot be regarded as an important addition Yet no doubt It fulfills the purpose the author had in mind as he writes In his Introduction: “I did feel that theie was a genuine need for a short biogiaphy that would tell the most interesting facts about his career briefly and tersely for the average busy and hurried citizen of to- day" Mr Carnegie Is not writing for the scholar or historian but for the average reader and his book is therefore in popular vein With no pietensions to style it Is agreeably done is rich In diamatic incident and will be interesting reading for those who have not studied the weightier biographies of the Gieat EinanUpatoi Mr Carneglo has been concerned less with the political side of Lincoln's rareer than with his intimate life his domestic unhappiness Apparently Mr Carneglo holds that one of "the most Inteiesting facts" in or Lincoln's history is his marriage rather that “the great tragedy of Lincoln's hie was not his assassination but his marriage” Hence he has devoted nuch space to recounting “the domestic mlseilis that Lincoln endured in silence for almost a quarter of a century" and has drrrlird In detail the peculiarities of poor Marv Todd Lincoln even going beyond some of her as young
