lie nodded, then continued:
"The dramatist's license, In fact, as
have said elsewhere, ends with mis- design.
In conception alone he Is free. He may
take whatever character or group OF
characters he chooses, see them with
whatever eyes, knit them with whatever
idea, within the limits of his tempera-
ment; but once taken, seen. and knitted,
he Is bound to treat them as gentle
man, with the tenderest consideration OF
their mainsprings."
He smiled whimslca the frelight

glow which made him look years younger.

are aware, of course, he belongs to that
school of realistic, earnest playwrights
here, who are always struggling to get
rid of the censor's office as an Insult to
their intelligence and sense of decency.

worthy, and If he had been any common
or garden person I'm sure he would have
chuckled.

Then Mr.. Galsworthy came back TO the

of coal poke with his foot and stood by
the mantelpiece a moment, looking down
at me.
How long have you been writing

modulated as ever when he replied, II

PHILOSOPHY OF COMPOSITION.

Yes" replied Mr.. Galsworthy gravely,
but not from any particular woman
from many. She is real and her lot is
a common one" And he sighed In his
turn, but he was signing for the world
and its sorrows.
do you generally draw your char
acters from life?'
The writer ruminated a few moments,
as If that question must be very care
fully answered, then he replied: Eyes,
but with ii difference. That is, one gets
suggestions from people, but branches out
from these and the result is composite.
The germ of every character lies in life,
of course, but 1t is a dangerous practice
to draw from the individual. The result
is not successful as a rule. nor does il
make for the best art
Here he looked into the fire and said
dreamily, in a voice so low that l had
to hold my head bit forward to catch
his words: 1T is really difficult to de-
scribe the process of creation. Take a
hook as a whole. Something one sees

"you are very critical In regard to
vour own work, them" l demanded, feel
ing quite chirpy again. for all this time
his voice had retained some carrying
properties and had been able to follow
him without straining my eardrums al
most to the breaking point and saying
II beg your pardon" and EXCUSE me
every here and there.
"Oh. yes; l am most critical Oh my
own work." Mr.. Galsworthy assured me
earnestly. "Out of every five pages 1
write only about two stand. Every novel
of mine goes through many, many YER
sions, and I believe that it is SO with
most writer's II they care at all for
form, atmosphere and themselves"
"Then. when you have worked so con-
scIentiously and carefully, isn't it a

Again that charming one-cornered

dents face as Mr.. Galsworthy said care
lessly:

Yes" he continued In stronger tones:
pure socialism seems to me like a man
trying to lift himself from the ground
by the hair of his own head. The stature
Of a pure socialistic state would still Do
but the stature of the bulk OF its units.
Pure political socialism could only maze

And lbs cannot he done by law. Only BY
