Literary NesOS and Criticism

ant The fathers of the two lovers are
at daggers drawn. Why? Because of a
tragedy in the lives of both involving the
mother, now dead. Of the heroine This
might conceivably have afforded legiti-
mate pretext for all the difficulties that
are raised in the course of the romance
Of Vittoria Fleming and Richard Blake
but as MIR. Fornan handles it il is some
now disagreeable and quite unconvineing
into the bargain. There are condolences
in the book. too, in which 1t is hard 10
believe. 4 clever novel. but not as clever
al the talent of this author had led us TO
expect.
Mr.. Jack London leads off his new col
lection Of short stories with one Of the
best pieces he has ever put TO his credit
the Lost Face" which gives the book It's
title 1t is perhaps an anecdote rather
than a short story in the usual sense OF
the term. simply a picturesque and not
ably odd anecdote, but it has in 1t GER
tain element of surprise and it is I'M
commonly well written. The subterfuge
through which man threatened with
swift death is developed with an adj
rnirably discreet touch, and the climax is
carried off with the same skill The
story that follows, called Trust, Is
written around one of those incidents
which might be authenticated as having
been actually taken from life" but
which impress the reader nevertheless
as almost foeishly incredible. The tale
of death in the frozen North, ITO Build
a Fire" is only q little more persuasive,
but Mr.. London is altogether successful
III his dog story. That Spot" in the grim
romance called Flush of Gold" and the
even grimmer little dramas of life on
the Yukon, The Passing of Marcus
O'Brien' and The Wit of Porpotuk.
The stuff Of this volume is interesting
and the authors terse, vivid style is
also TO be commended.

One of the speakers at the recent meet
ing of the English Authors Club de-
clared that there were three things the
author, and especially the English au-
thor, had To guard against-first. the use
of too many pronouns; second. the as
Stunning of too much knowledge on the
part of the reader; and third. not TO
use irony unless he plainly said It was
irony. He had known authors of high
rank pass into irony, and yet it was so
obscure that no one could penetrate its
meaning. The prosperity Of this club is
shown in the fact that within two years
its membership increased from twenty
seven to over seven hundred.
Ono of the anecdotes related during
the evening was quoted from Mrs. Scott.
the mother OF the late Henry Seton Mer-
riman She said that nobody knew for
years that her son wrote novels, and
the fact did not come out until With
Edged Tools was published. When the
truth did become public property. the
maid said TO Mrs. Scott: "Lor', ma am,
] knew master wrote novels! I used to
see his proofs lying about. but / didn't
think the family liked 1t mentioned"
