Richard Whiteing's THE Yellow
Van" is listed among the books in
steady and popular demand at public
libraries and in the book stores and
the authors views on the province of
the novel take on fresh interest. At
recent English literary club dinner
Mr.. Whiteing is quoted as having said:
THE novel performs a service to So
ciety analogous to that of light cav
airy. 1t goes forward, sees everything,
does not probe ali, but shows how a
thing is affecting the hearts and minds
of simple men and women and what
they are thinking about. Once this is
put before the people, they are on their
way to REFORM
And the author of 1.-The Yellow Van"
and mo. John Street" went on to
say that he doubted much whether the
technique in fiction was ever so good
as to-day.
The Maggie Club" in London, whose
members are clever young English
writers sworn to criticize one another's
work with merciless severity, has been
in existence about twelve years. The

any Of the members fiction been con-
sidered by themselves worthy of pub
