An amusing writer in a current
periodical comments upon that bril-
liant and fascinating young English
writer, Mr.. Gilbert Chesterton, whose
recent essays and biographies of the
Great have made his English and
American public sit up and take par
ticular notice. The former writer
says:
81 wish that T had space to quote
many Of Mr.. Chesterton' S remarks
on things in general, that charming
interlinear philosophy which runs
through all he writes. TT does not
always follow he says that man
