Short Stories of the New York Syrian Quarter 



The Soul of the Street 



By NORMAN DUNCAN j 



LOCAL color in the ordinary sense is too coarse a term tor the exquisite] 

 exotic quality of these delicately suggestive tales, which seek to express 

 the sentiment rather than the outward incongruitv of contrast. There is 

 [ways an aura of pathos about the alien, especially when the sojourner in 

 range tents is the mild and unstrenuous man of the Orient, set so hopelessly out 

 t the sphere ot his simple activities among the vigorous and unsympathetic 

 Dnditions of the Western world. This Mr. Duncan has perceived with rare 

 isight, and embodied with a fine appreciation of the high poetic capacity of 

 ibject.
