EMERSON POET AND THINKER. By Elizabeth
Luther Cary Illustrated. Svo. Up. viii PSI q.
T. Putnam's Sons.
Miss Cary is a graceful writer of books about
famous literary figures. In four handsomely
illustrated volumes she has dealt with Tenny-
son. Browning. Morris and the ROssettis. At
last she turns to an American author. Her atti-
tude toward Emerson is that of the devOut En-
ersonian. The result is that she is somewhat
to seek in matters of criticism. She complains.
for example of Mr.. Henry James that he ut
tiers the astonishing impression that Emerson's
writings were not composed at ALL and deems
it sign of his power that he is a striking eX
ceptiOn to the general rule that writings live
in the last resort by their FORM" What we find
astonishing is that Miss Cary should not have
perceived the justice of Mr. Jamess remarks.
and that she is capable of rejecting on the
criticisms of EmersOn's style as follows: "All
this, apparently. because. with the exhausting
labor of those who regard their workmanship as
the means to great ends, he has concealed the
skeleton of his construction. and has conCen-
trated upon his central idea countless state
ments of truth related to it by delicate unseen
connections, too exquisitely realized to be dis
torted into prominence" Decidedly it is not

Frederic Palmer was one of the first of

the story of his experiences. He was assigned
to the first army under General Kuroki, and
was with him in all the important operations
from the crossing of the Yalu to the battle OF
Lao Yang-at Molten Pass. at Tiensuiten and
at Anpng.

Poor Signor d Annunzio is in a very unhappy
frame of mind, and all because certain Nea-
politan comedian named Scarpetta will not
show the proper respect due to man of letters
of his emnence. Some years ago we saw in
an exhibition at Venice large canvas called
1.-The Daughter Of Jorio." striking page from
peasant life, painted by Michett. When dan
nunZo made play ON the same Subject nobody
complained. On the contrary the work was
acclaimed with enthusiasm. But Scarpetta has
produced under the impression. he says, that
he nad the full consent of the poet-a parody
of the drama which he calls 1.-The Son of Jorio."
with the result that Italy has reSounded with
the masters Indignation. The whole episode
strikes very funny, but it is interesting,
inasmuch as it offers fair enough proof of what
we have always said of this celebrated novel
st-that he has no humor. We remember
going diligently through all his works, both in
prose and verse, in the effort to discover some
valid reason for the prodigious uproar raised
by his admirers. The experience was no joke.
1t was like bathing in morbidity at its source
But what made it especially appalling was the
realization, from which the reader could not
possibly escape, that dAnnunZio himself had
obviously never seen the grotesqueness of his
own creations. His vision of life is warped;
it shows no sense of proportion. If some kind
fairy at his birth had dO;ered him with the
faculty of smiling at things he would never
have written his amazing novels. Neither, in
that case, would it have occurred to him, we
believe, to grow wrathful over the divagations
of SignOr Scarpetta.

Mr.. Egerton Castle delivered lecture the
other day on Atmosphere in Romance" q sub
ject on which he of all men should be able TO
speak with authority. He said many good
things, but especially do we appreciate the fol
lowing observation: 1T is then my theme" he
said that, in order to be convincing an author
must have great deal more to say on his sub
Ject than he actually does say; that he must
have lived with it. breathed its air. and that if
he knows how TO produce his atmosphere if
the atmosphere is there, the impression con
had actually witnessed all the untold episodes
i'll their unseen scenery" This is one way of
saying that the rOmancer must write out of a full
mind. OF how many living romancers could it
be said that they do this thing? The trouble
with most of them is that when they under
take to produce Il story about a given period
they read up" that period i'll short order, and,
on the strength of the mercst scraps of infor-
nation gained in this way, proceed to turn
out what the market is waiting for. Since
there are always critics ready to praise them
Tor having brilliantly captured the spirit of
a DySone era" they naturally feel very com
lurtaDle over the whole transaction and go
merrily on to the next promising source Of local
color. Mr.. Castle and his wife write good ro-
mances because the romantic quality is with
them, ilStinctively achieved, but they realize
that knowledge is necessary as well as iuSpi-
ration, that they must store their minds with
vastly more about their subjects than they put

AS the aIling father watched his daughter

quired a firm seat in the business saddle, he
began To absent himself for longer and longer
intervals. until Mrs. Walker came to be looked

who had TO deal directly with her found her
the woman of business from her fngertips, and

himself very soon learned TO respect her judy

to train her to carry his business and man
