If You Read "The Mauve Decade"

Now Available at the Library.

A much-discussed LOOk among thenew publications of this spring is "ThelYlauve Decade," by Thomas Beer. It

is now available at the CommunityLibrary. It is an impressionistic account of the manners, modes, customsand outstand ing f igures of the per iodfrom 1890 to 1900, commonly called"the nineties." So great a majori ty ofpeopl e now li vi ng h av e acti ve memories of that period, and so many o ft hem were i nt iu en ced by the i deas o fthat t ime, that this book wil l be widelyread, but probably not widely agreedto.The advice of the l ibrary rei'ard in i'

this ~ o o k i s that intel ligent peopleshould read it, but kee p a good gr ipon thei r own ideas and opinions whi leth ey a re doing so. T he re is nothingdangerous or harmful in it, b ut Mr.Beer' s opinions have only the weigh tof Mr. Beer' s j udgmen t, and that isa q ua li ty which is ve ry likely tochange, for i t is said that he is sti ll ayoung man. However , he is a n int er es ti ng young man, with a goodbackground and training.The book is written in what is often

call ed t he "modern " s ty le , and , t oofrequen tly, Mr. Beer, in h is desire tosustain h is der is ive opinions of thosetimes, is obliged to employ innuendoto sus tain his point-and tha t, ofcourse, is not sufficient to convince anintelligent person who has wellgrounded opinions to the contrary. ItIS a good thing to match opinions withany mindas keen as ,Mr. Beer's.The popular appeal of this book will

be limi te d from a l ib ra ry p oi nt ofview, but t ho se who are suf fi ci en tl yinterested to keep going in it willenjoy the exper ience and will emergewith renewed faith in their own opin

ions, or wit h an ent ir el y new s et ofideas about the ~ o c i e t y of their child·hood or youth.
