NEW HAVEN MORNING ls 1907

EW HAVEN MORNING JOI and virtuous, into nien and un-men, the very one 10 befoul them with the slayer of your p0ssessedness; for you love not men, but man. But tell you, you have never seen a sinner, you have only-dreamed of him.
 Self enjoyment is embittered to me by my thinking I must serve another, by my faneying myself under obligation to him, by my holding myself called to sacrifice resignation 'enthusi- asm.' All right; if I no longer serve any idea, any higher essence, then 1t is clear of itself that I no longer serve any man either, but-under all cireum- stances-myself. But thus am not merely in fact or in being, but also for my consciousness, the unique.
 ''There pertains to you more than the divine, the human, etc.; yours pertains to you.
 Look upon yourself as more power ful than they give you credit for, and you have more power; look upon your self as more. and you have more.
 You are not then merely called to everything divine, entitled to every thing human, but owner of what Is yours, ie, of all that you possess the force to make your own, ie., you are appropriate and capacitated for every thing that Is yours.
 People have always supposed that they must give me a destiny lying out side of myself, so that at last they de- manded that should lay claim to the human because I amman. This is the Christian magic circle. Fichte's ego, too, is the same essence outside me, for ev- eryone is ego, and if only this ego has rights, then 1t is the ego,' 1t Is not I. But I am not an ego along with other egos, but the sole ego; am unique. Hence my wants. too, are unique, and my deeds; in short everything about me is unique, And it is only as this unique that I take everything for my own, as I set myself to work, and de- velop myself, only as this. I do not de- velop man, nor as man, but as I, I de- velop-myself, This is the meaning of the-unique one"
 THE ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT '' by Jane Wardle, published by Mcclure, Phillips Co, New York; sl5O; at Judd's.
 Miss Wardles book has very happy title, for the artistic temperament is pretty thoroughly handled in the story and dealt with in striking fashion. The book has already awakened considera- ble attention in England where the gen. eral verdict Is that it is very clever, a sentiment which is being pretty well echced and endorsed In this country. Fine satire pervades the story. The au- thor treats the hero, Stephen Cartmel quite generously despite his very seri- ous meandering and departures from the path of duty--all of which depar- lures, etc, are charged up to the art istic temperament" Cartmel Is a lucky dog to find himself so well treated after his lapses from rectitude and especial ly after he, on the eve of his coming marriage to woman of wealth, beauty and high social position, had made love to another, also a woman of beauty and position and of romantic nature with whom, moreover, he narrowly es- capped eloping. As says the New York World:
 'Cartmel is an artist, in London and of it. Della is pouting and provok- ingly pretty wife in Footing. That Delia's husband happens to be Steph- ems old school friend and that Cart mel himself is betrothed to Claire Stan more are incidents which affect the artists conscience. but seem powerless as applied to his will The Footing hus- band, all unconscious up to certain critical point, brings on the compllca- tions and helps them along by insisting that Cartnlel shall paint Delia's por- trait.
 "Just as the situation has entered up- on a phase ruinous for Stephen and Della it Is saved by the unexpected manliness of Blaicklock and the unbe- levahle loyalty of Claire. The combin- ation produces a climax which is sure to be debated earnestly wherever ''The Artistic Temperament" is read
 Jane Wardle' is pen name only. Oliver Hueffer Is credited by the It, erary guessers with the authorship of
 The Artistic Temperament Whoever wrote 1t, the book is unusual in scope and interest and distinctly original in its analyses of emotion and in its cll- max"
