GENIAL" LITERATURE.
Americans Are Fond of the david
Harum" Type of Books.

Joseph Jefferson is fond of preaching
the desirability of the genial in art. He
thinks it is the salt of literature and Of
the stage He makes a very good show
ing for the survival of genial books and
genial plays. and he is himself the most
distinguished object lesson in the the
atrical world of the continuous success
of geniality. The meanings of the term
evidently in view by Mr. Jefferson are
such as the following:
Giving spirit or life; enlivening;
warming: comforting; contributing to
life and cheerfulness; supporting life.
Of a social spirit; cordial in DISPOSE
ton and manner; kindly; sympathed-
caIly cheerful.
It is true that humanity has also an
appetite for the tragic though there
should be a touch of geniality in this
for the highest popularity; and It is
true that even the harsh is not without
audience and acceptance. But in the
rush and strain of modern life is the
distinctly genial especially valued The
romance has been of late warmly well
coined, by contrast to straining modern
conditions, but the genial seems just
now in America. to be living I'D prom
isingly to Mr. Jefferson's claims for It.
The success IN recent years of David
Haruln'' proves this, and of Mr.. Bach
elIer's books. and of Ruth MeEnery
Stuarts stories. and of Kate Douglas
Virgins books. which are in demand
year after year, as If acknowledged to
be one of the necessaries of cheerful
living And now comes Alice Hogan
Rice, with Mrs. Wigs of the Cab
bage Patch" and 'Lovey Mary" and
straightway it would seem as If the
genial were the one thing the public
could not get enough of.
It is pleasant to think of the tired
American seeking even brief and fleet
ing vacations from the stress OF the
chase after financial "betterment7 in
