This article discusses the books "Tomorrow Never Comes," by R.L. Duffus, and "A Duchess and Her Daughter," by Alfred Bishop Mason. The book by Duffus bears the flavor of this observation of a journalist and of the ironic comment thereby induced in a pleasant, intelligent, and somewhat scholarly mind. The speeches of the Santa Eulalian congress sound strangely familiar to ears attuned to Washington. The two-day revolution is proclaimed in terms that might have ushered in the World War. This, the author says in substance, is the way men always behave and the only wisdom lies in noting how absurd they are.
