AND YET

TT seems that the reading world can

rapier. Now 1t is Louis lie Debonnaire,
self-proclaimed lover Of strife and
devil-may- who fits across the
mimic stage of romance with bow
and a swagger. Those that sit up o
nights over the d-cloa-k- and-tin-pot-
helmet kind of fiction applaud this new
conner nightly, and one w. F. Pay
son is glad, for he Is the gay cavaliers
creator.
Not that this Debonnaire is a whit
different from the score Of other cloaked
and belted swashbucklers who have
carved their way throuhg novels for
dozen years past; not that the deeds
he accomplishes are the least less i'm
probable. Only let an author trick out
a new lay figure with an eighteenth
century costume, give that figure an
impudent tongue and strong SWORD
arm. place 1t somewhere where history
has been made in the past and then let
It run to the limit Of its motive mech

REPRINTS
or Valuable Works

W TuLIAM MORRIS, designer Of
w stained glass, writer of So
cialistic screeds and poet Of the
Pre- -Raphaelites, is probably less
known in this country than any Of
the Victorian men OF letters whose
work bears the stamp Of the classic
in literature. Whether because Nor
ris' verse was overshadoWed at the
time OF Its production by the greater
excellence Of Rossetti's or Swinburne's,
or whether IN the medievalism in
which Il is STEPPED America cannot
find ready sympathy the fact re-
mains that we on this side OF the
ocean have yet much of beauty and Of
epic strength 10 discover in the poetry
large measure to underrate or over
look entirely. Excellent opportunity is
given for this by the appearance Of
handy single-volume edition Of his
poems collected and edited with notes
by Professor Percy r. Colwell.
The worth OF Morris poems lies
more in their spirit than in the polish
Of their form. His romances Of Teu-
tonic and Icelandic legend may lack
the polished beauty Of THE Idylls OF
the King" but they certainly possess
the bold strength and unsophisticated
blunness Of spirit Of the sagas them
selves. THE Earthly Paradise" and
