novel and sprightly fashion Rarely is
there morbidness and rarely cynicism.
Sometimes the reader may be puzzled as
to just how far the author In serious and
how far he is having his laugh. At any
rate from the readers point OF view. with
out too much bother. about analysts. every
one OF these clever tales is likely TO be de-
clared a rattling good story.
Mr.. Huneker Is distinguished as a mu-

they may be cast. And. too. there are
