THE nine stories presented by Mr. Harris under the title of "Unpath'd Waters" are notable not only as a collection, but for the individual worth of each one. These stories are cleverly. even classically written, and ring with truth that indicates deep probing of life, its facts, its unexpected qualities and its eccentricities. The first three stories use the life of Christ, and the impression it produced on His day, for their setting. They are very beautiful, full of imagination and power. "An English Saint" is a character study extremely well done. In other stories. traits from which the Hebrew cannot disassociate himself are convincingly set forth. The last story in the book, "The Magic Glasses," recalls the work of Honore de Balzac at his best. It is well handled in every way, its style and poise indicating that of the craftsman dominated by fine and, impressive ideals. - The Craftsman , Vol. 25
