THAwING TINE FOR WINTER BOOKS.


1t was merry observation of .intiphanes
that in certain city the cold was so In
tense that words were concealed as soon
as spoken. but that after some time they
thawed out and became audible. so that the
words spoken in winter were articulated
next summer.
Possibly his remark is applicable to the
book messages OF some of our modern writ
ers. In the busy winter months. when tho
writer's and presses are most prolific. many
excellent things come TO us cold. Some. 1t
is true, never thaw cut. while others find
articulation. For tho good fiction there ia

when interest is lax fer s;erner business,
when time moves indolcntly. and book

1t is only interesting company which

therefore. the summer popularity of ta!e
Is the highest proof of merit. II the novel

ARLo BATES on CRITICISM.

Criticism" says Arlo Bates lis the es-
ttmation of work by defined standards In
Its application to literature 1t is the trying
OF whatever is written 1t is. SO to say,
tn, balance shaet of composition.
There has never been time when there
has been so much talk about the art as in
the latter half Of this century. and seldom
a time when there has been less Of the
genuine article. Matthew Arnold preached
the gospel of criticism. and the world went
on its uncfitical way very much as before
There havo even been doubts expressed
whether there was any such thing save in
theory. That entertaining Philistine. Mr.
Andrew Lang. has declared that criticism
is nothing but the expression of personal
opinion, and has strengthened his position
by pretty consistently living up to the asser-
ton. The definition has been somewhat
widely accented; and it is certainly true
that much which in common speech is
called criticism is nothing more or less than
an expression of prejudice or opinion. In.
deed, N common speech the word is pretty
generally used to signify mere fault-finding
There Is however, no more proprie,y in
using the verb to criticise' In the sense Of
to censure' than in the sense OF .to
praise 1t means neither Its nearest
synonym Is to estimate or TO measure, -
Criticism is appreciation based upon

comparison Of work with iued standards.
To cr!ticse Is to form or to express an
opinion. 1t Is as far from blame the
, one hand from praise on the other: but
1t establishes the reason for either.
| have spoken In former lecture Of that
/ irritating class who take refuge behind the

I bad. but | know what ] like The phrase
| Is confession of either mental incapacity
/ or of mental slothfulness. 1t means either
! 1 am too stupid to think out the reason
why this pleases me- or I am too lazy to
think 1t is moral duty fer one TO know
, why one likes or dslkes a thing. I do
not mean that we carr go to the ultimate
analysis of the reasons why beauty delights
and ugliness pains l do mean that the
possession of reason lays on i man moral
obligation to use 1t: and that so far as his
individual reason can go. 1t is his duty TO
examine the grounds of his feelings. How
Is man to have the courage of his dis
likes If he does not know upon what they
rest? 1t is the duty OF every rational
creature to have opinions. In order to have
opinions 1t is necessary to estimate belief
and feeling. In order to estimate 1t is
needful to have standards.
"All this being so. how are standards to
be obtained? There Is, unfortunately. no
market, where they are to be bought. and
the mere mention of acquiring them fills
unframed and timorous minds with a shud
dering sense Of horribly laborious undertake
ing. Yet in its painest form the matter is
simply to know what one believes, and that
is the first step in any mental development
which can claim to be genuine This does
not mean that criticism is 10 be a matter
of personal opinion in the sense of its be-
ing arbitrary liking or disiihing 1t means
that the first standard by which all work
must be tried IL that of Its truth. and that
to be able to measure Its truth it Is neces-
sary to know what regards az truth
To be able TO estimate the verify of a bool.
1t Is essential that one has definite opin-
lens in regard to the truth as 1t concerns
life and humanity, and that one be not in
the least In doubt what those opinions are
Criticism by vague opinions is like weight
by an uncertain balance. For individual
criticism, moreover. it Is absolutely essen
tial that Judgment be made by truth as 1t
appears TO the critic, and not by his idea
of what others may think to be truth His

Soon after her marriage Mrs. BoSue was

give a reading from her books at the Ohio
Federation of Womens Clubs, to be held at
Dayton, and. as her marriage had created
no small amount Of interest. Mr.. Bosue was
invited to accompany her, which invitation

this statement is the experience OF Mr.. Will

Rose of Normandy" has gone into three
editions In about as many weeks and Is one
of the best-selling books in New York to-
day Armed with strong personal introdlic-
tons. Mr.. Wilson took his manuscript to
two OF the leading publshng-houses in
New York but in each case was told by the
head of the house that the combination OF
new writer and historical novel prevented
any consideration of the book. Then Mr..
Wilson went to Boston with his manuscript,
and because he saw the name of Little,
Brown & Co.. as he walked along WASH
ington street. he left the manuscript with
them though he was an entire stranger to
the firm. But in three weeks Little, Brown
& Co. informed Mr.. Wilson of their desire
to publish his story.-From The Reader.
