Nmene0m Caste i'm Literature.

By CHARLES CLARK MUM. Author Of 'Uncle Terry. :

There seems to be a widespread belief
that our tastes in fiction Is degeneratfng;
that French literature and the school OF
lola, Daudet and Ouida have contaminat-
ed our taste; that only the erotic novel
will please; that realism and realism OF
the carnal sort is what the public de
mand We see Ross denominations sell
into the hundred thousands, Daudet' S
mastery presentation of evil life equally
successful and dramatized, fill theater
at fabulous prices for an entire season
And worse than this we find writers Of
worldwide fame and unquestoned power
seemingly STOPPING to cater to this ap-
parent taste To call a book or play
s'broad' is the surest way to win for it
success and the more "risque'' It Is the
faster the book will sell and the higher
the prices charged to witness its stage
production.
And yet this vitiation OF public taste Is
more apparent than real, for, while
critics are lamenting It, purists railing
against 1t and authors unwill1ngiy cater
ing to it-prestoi along comes an honest,
wholesome tale of country folks, pure in
thought, sturdy In Characteristic David
