mac as the SWEETEST of New York dudes.
He came over to visit the Worlds fair and
incidentally to gather impressions" for
new book which he intends to publish when
he goes back, and it is well for our good
name thai he should receive those impress
sions among our very best people.
When it is understood that NJ. Bourget
Is a novelist of the modern French realistic
school and that he devotes his literary
talents to what he himself calls "the an
alytical novel of passion" it will be seen
at once how seriously embarrassing it
would prove for us if he got his impress
sions from the wrong kind of people 1t is
far better that he should while among us
live exclusively with people who have no
vices, but only wealth and high living and
nice houses and good form" NJ. Bourget
is used to all these things at home-since
he became famous. Before that he had
some hard lines in Bohemia after his father
threw him off because he wanted to be q
poet and not a mathematician. But he has
put off the influences of those days along
with the careless attire and long hair which
he then affected, and now his manner is
faultlessly cold, calm and polished, with
out trait of self consciousness or embar-
rassment and his raiment the extreme of
fnicky neatness.
NJ. Bourgeois method of composition is
peculiar. As he says, II hear stories, di-
gest them and then construct my own
story" This results in series of compos-
lite pictures which he believes to be types
and which the followers of his cult are
willing to accept as such. He says he got
the information about Louisiana on which
he built the character of Lydia Maitland
in "Cosmopolis" from the correspondent
of New York newspaper in Rome, which
is perhaps very good way to get data foi
a character in a work of fiction, though it
is hard to reconcile it with another state
ment that he loves to live amid the scenes
and in the atmosphere he is describing
Perhaps he will explain the discrepancy in
the lectures he is announced to deliver be
