WORDS THAT HIT MARK.

The young writer. with something
really worth saying. and a certain
driving energy that makes him bent
upon saying it in the clearest way
possible. ought to he too busy upon
the task at hand to be worrying about
whether he is forming style
whether, that is to say. his brave be-
ginnings of today are cornerstones in
the arch of future fame. We have
seen that what every young writer
should strive to acquire is first a
clear-cut idea of what he is trying To
accomplish; secondly. d technical skill
that will enable him to build the
framework of his production. what
ever its form may be. solidly and with
the proportions demanded by good
art; and thirdly. that he must culti-
vate that infinite patience which will
strive to make all parts and all as
poets of his work tend toward a unity
of effect in subject and structure and
language.
When a writer has learned thor
oughly to do these things, he need no
longer worry about style. for style is
nothing else than the ability to eX-
press ones thoughts in the best pos
sible way. or, as James Russell Low
ell has defined it. style is the estab-
Iishment of a perfect mutual under
standing between the worker and his
material" And Walter Pater expresses

some massive structures, which have.
since 1868 been carefully exCavated.
1t is now certain that these stand on
the famous temple site.
Long before there were any Greeks

was there, the worship of Nature as
the nourishing mother of plants, ami

of the cult. which late Greek influence
