Gently paid a striking tribute to the deeper
significance which fiction occasionally possesses,
by inviting Mr.. ii. G.. Wells to lecture before
its members '"Fhe Discovery of the Future
What is this but frank acceptance Of the line
of thought followed by Mr.. Wells in his stories
as something in which there may be more than
meets the eye? The reader whose sceptich

are serious thoughts underlying the fantastical-

both elements are fused in a scheme which

GERS and theatregoers to-day as much as they

his protest. 1T all depends upon the man"
That is obvious, but where did Mr.. Barr get
the impression that the "balderdash' to which
he refers was aimed at the Scots Of the
day? Nobody would dream of bidding them
cease their labors. if they could be found. Slow
writing is not necessarily good writing. says
Mr.. Barr. and here again he is delightfully."-

The new volume in the Golden Treasury
Series devoted to Fitz Gerald's translation Of
Omar Khayyam offers subtle rcbuke to those
OffciOus persons who have attempted versions
of their own. The ttle-page bears this simple
legend: 'Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam the AS
tronOmcr Poet of Persia. Rendered into English
Verse" There is no mention of FitZ Gerald;
the last page and even there the translator is
not formally announced; il is taken for granted
that everybody will know who did the work
and the allusion TO him is only offered as bear
perhaps seem to 'Omarites' a grevous njus
ticc, is really in the very spirit Of Fitz Gerald.
His modest nature gave no thought to his own
relation to the quatrains. Omar was the poet
to be honored. he held and we can imagine him
insisting upon just such a title-page as that
which the Golden Treasury" edition contains.
How different are the present self-elected
"devotecs" of Omar who print their so-caed
TRANSACTIONS with every circumstance of pride.
Now that Fitz Gerads version has been en-
shrined in the one absolutely perfect form it
demanded, let us hope that there will be no
more trfng with the Persian poetry he made
his own. The impairment dabsters who have
tried to better faultess work of genius should
forthwith suppress themselves, and If the Omar
Khayyam dining clubs could he persuaded 10
disband the situation would be entirely graft
flying.
