MODERN IDEAS OF ROMANCE
An Attempt to Define a Term That Is
Often Misapplied.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In a recent conversation with
friend the modern idea OF romance was
discussed The friend maintained that
everyday life was full Of the subject, and
that Il was an error TO believe that ro-
nance had been limited to feudal times.
As an instance that appealed TO him at
the moment he mentioned the days Of iSie.
when California was STEPPED In the gold
fever. as being touched with romance. He
believed one could find reflection OF ro-
nance IN modern novels. such as The
Wrecker" by r. H. Stevenson. ana The
Octopus" by Norris. and In Bret Harte's
poetry
Allowing that romance is by no means
dead-and In modern days Illustrate ms no
doubt can be found--the examples men
toned seem far from well chosen Ro-
nance has fiction az a tasis. and as fiction
is produced through the Imagination. which
has poetry as an attribute. we might con-
slider the origin OF romance In poetical I'M
agitation, and as there can be no true ro-

nance without the inclusion Of both scaes'
love as a necessity divides the theme with
the adventure OF imagination.
Simple adventure does not seem 10 con
stItute romance. neither does the PLAIN
emotion OF love as between man ana "o'"
an. II therefore should be tre happy COM
bina,ion of both The life OF adventure lot
instance. In a gold mining camp In CAM

a romance. but such a possibility would
enter II the love Of woman were intro
duced As for examples In literature OF
what we include as modern, would IL not
be more to the point 10 mention such DOCKS
as Scott's "Ivanhoe," Lew Wallace's Ben
Hur" and Fair Cod Hope's Prisoner
OF Zenda" and Helen Hunts Ramona?
Authorities appealed to- however, say
that pseudo classical romance is mis-
nomer. and that the general conception Is
that OF a division In the subject to wit.
chiyalry. love and adventure-and that ro-
nance really belongs to the Middle Ages on
that account. Further. that the real proto-
type OF chivalric romance was the ancient
epic-the Golden Fleece, the Siege Of Troy
and the Niebelungenred.
The Roman de Troe' which was writ
ten In the twelfth century, seems TO have
been the father OF romance FOR later think
ers. as we are told that from its verses
Boccaccio, Chaucer and Shakespeare OBJ
tained inspiration. Where in all literature
can we match King Arthur and the Round

1t would seem. however. that the pre-

views on romance, and would include the

MILITARY AVIATION

The achievement with an army aero
plane at Laredo, Tex. on Friday, serves
as a gratifying reminder that with the
s,,bsidence Of sensational stunts for
sordid exhibition purposes legitimate
interest in aviation has by no mears
abated. On the contrary, it has proba-
bly, increased. If the airship is no longer

greatest utility In the comparatively re-

must probably be confined.
II has from the beginning been as

TIE HOME RULE PROGRAMME.

4
Mr.. Birrell's remarks at oxford the
other evening about Irish Home Rule
we're doubtless much more than mere
addition TO his delightful "Obiter Dicta.
We may regard them as authentically
setting forth the intention of the govern
ment. That is because Of his authorita-
tive relations 10 the subject and TO the
government and his serious integrity or
purpose. and also because Of the exact
agreement of bis announcement with
former utterances of other responsible
statesmen, and. indeed, with the practi-
cally universal understa nding of the
British nation. There was nothing more
clear I'm the late electoral campaign In
the United Kingdom than that the sue
cess of the Liberal-Natlonalist coalition
would mean the prompt introduction of
a bill for Irish Home Rule substantially
on the lines Of Mr.. Gladstone's and Mr..
parnells scheme.
There can be no question of the power
Of the government 10 enact such meas
urc. provided, Of course. that 1t wins
the preliminary campaign on the veto
bill and dcprives the House Of Lords OF
the mower to balls Home Rule. That the
present House of Lords would summa-
rily reject the proposed Home kuie
scheme goes without saying. II IS
scarcely less certain that q reorgapized
House Of Lords, non-hereditary bur so
lccted and elected on merit, would DO
the same, since q considerable proper
tion Of the Liberal Peers and Of those
Liberals who would naturally he made
members of an elective upper house
arc resolutely opposed to such scheme.
That circumstance explains the purport
of tho coalitions shrewd move In insist
ING that certain time shall intervene
between the lettering of the present
House of Lords and reorganization II
that body which would probably Involve
the removal OF The fetters. II is during
that inteirecnum, while the kingdom
will be governed practically by sin
clc chamber. that Home Rule is to 3e
granted. The old Parliamentary Hand
himself never devised more clever
m3nHuN re-
To what extent the Irish people Will
be satisfied With the plan Of Home Rule
which Mr.. Asquith. Mr.. Birrell and Mr..
Redmond are contemplating is au inter
estng question. 1t apparently viii not
please some Irishmen in America. who
are already bitterly dcnouncins II as
betrayal Of Ireland. Their objection is
10 Mr.. Redmonds agreement that the
Dublin government shall be subject to-
"the supreme, indefeasiblc authority OF
"tbc imperial Parliament" That, they
say. is equivalent to Remuneration or
Irish nationality and acquiescencc in the
permanent status Of Ireland as PROV
incc of the British Empire. 1t may e'
however that these critics OF the plan
are more Nationalist than the Nation
alists themselves and that Mr.. Red
mond. In ireland. knows what is good
for ireland better than his .ormer COM
patriots in America.
