An Eccentric WAGER,

In the old betting books Of the
Jockey club and Whites in London
are to be found many curious records
of wagers. There was once a young
man who made money on spider rae
ing. HE wagered that a spider which
he would produce would cross u plate
quicker than a spider to be produced
by friend. Each spider was to have
its own plate. His opponents spider,
however. on being started would not
stir, while his own ran with immense
speed. The bet was consequently lost,
and the loser soon found out the rea-
son why. Our young friend had a hot
plate" This is told by Ralph Nevill
in 'The Man of Pleasure"

MAURICE HEWLETT'S

Author of "The Forest Lovers" Writes
Spiritual Autobiography In "Thc

In his latest and in some ways his
most delightful book. The Lore of
Proserpine,'' Maurice Hewlett deals with
that twilight land so vivid to the in
.tellectual fancy of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. where unreal people become
real and real people become unreal.
The first time that this particular note
of romanticism was sounded was per-
haps in one stanza of THE Castle of In
dolence," by James Thomson, one of the
most significant eighteenth century
heralds of the Renaissance of wonder
As when shepherd of the Hebrid isles.

reach elimination soon in the most
magical poetry of Co1eridge. 1t was TO
give fervor to Puritan Hawthornes
gorical versions. 1t is first cousin tn
william Butler Yeats serene belief in
fairies. In Mr.. Hewlett 1t speaks out so
loud and bold that it restores to our
maturity the wisdom of childhood.
Mr.. Hewlett has seen fairies, breads
dryads in the woods, on the hills, IN
peasant homes in smoky London. With
jeweled blaze of epigram. brisk and
eager and earnest he tells us the good
news. Just what was his state of being
when these visions came is not quite
clear despite the authors bits of psv-
Geological rejection. There is, more
over. a faint tinge of elfish humoT.
barely present and hardly human, that
worries the pedestrian who has a deep
but flesh clogged desire to believe in
the gods once more. Yet Mr.. Hewlett
is essentially serious. No reader can.
In fairness doubt that.
One recalls Walter Pater's wistfuI
recolIections Of his childhood and his
delicately skeptical fancy, apollo in
Picardy." In Pater there is the last
style of English master, larger
rhythm. a fuller throated harmony.
Mr.. Hewlett's nervous sentences do not
soothe us as do Pater's, with their
flow like some heavy honey and wine
poured slowly from an amphora. We
are given a sense of peace even though
we are not quite happy in the company
