Smart Gloves.

VIC SsSVSo 81. -
There is no great change in glove
styles. The demand for short sleeves
will increase that for long gloves, and
many gloves will be worn in sixteen
twenty and twenty-four button length
chiefly in white glace kid.
Neither pastel shades nor black, es'
pecially the latter, will be much worn
in kid, and white will have things
practically all its own way.
There is a big revival Of silk gloves,
particularly in the long sizes. Here
black and white are the most impor'
tant shades, not only for evening, but
also for street wear, as many lingerie
blouses are being made with elbow
length and three-quarter sleeves.

Mr.. Beresford is Of the number of the
fortunate ones who arrive" or at least
appear to arrive, with their first book.
His novel is strikingly IN what promises
to become the new manner Of fiction,
that which takes for its province not an
episode in the life OF its chief character,
but his whole existence, from the cradle
onward. This is, IN reality. but revival
Of an old, artistic tradition, distinguished
from It chiefly by the modern authors
attitude toward life and his different use
Of It as artistic material Mr.. Beresford
indicates in his title the possibility Of an
intention 20 carry his hero's story from
the early years Of his maturity, through
that most important period TO the end
Of his pilgrimage through life, and one
can pay his book no higher compliment
than by confessing that such a sequel
would be very welcome.
The modern collective social conscious
ness lies at the root OF this story, but It
has not the propaganda purpose Of Mr..
Wells's fiction nor the grim grayness Of
Mr.. Benefits. Its outlook is outward
and upward, from the lack Of purpose Of
the education and life and strivlngs Of
the undistinguished, undistinguishable,
unframed mass that, in England, lies
Just beyond the further boundary Of the
lower middle classes. He does not make
war upon Il: he does not point the way
TO an amelioration OF conditions; he
merely accepts IT as his environment.
and leaves his hero TO make the best Of
It. He treats heredity as what It really
is as yet, an obscure matter OF chance,
and views environment I'm the same de-
tached manner. but indicates the con-
nection between tho two. As for the
heredity, one may expect anything-or
nothing-from a child whose grandfather
was a German Protestant his grand

The Houghton Miffiin Company
In all but the rarest OF instances the
set biography OF man Of genius misses
the essential point. 1t Is generally
photograph. not a portrait, an interpre-
tation. The genius eludes the bog
rapher. In its stead he shows his read
ers a mere man Of talent doing nightly
what he could. not the rare exception
that does what 1t must. The inspiration
of the worker is lost in the tale Of his
works.
The portraiture OF genius IS largely
question Of the elimination OF non-essen-
tails. and OF the selection, here ana
there. Of a single one that forms, as II
were. a link between the man we see
and the man we sense, his atmosphere
