girl, quite six feet tall broad and well
made in proportion. She was very hand
some, full throated heavy eyed and slow
In her movements. Her eyes and mouth.
like everything else about her, were

Flossle wore small yellsw diamonds In

Ilaight, u scrupulous and innocent man.
Is one Of the realistic seventies Of the
tale.
The story tells how the young men
got drunk and were thrown out of the
German restaurant called the Luxcm-
bourg. II describes their physical APP
pearance at the several stages OF their
drunken progress and gives exact de-
tails Of the fight that they waged with
the walters. Vandover was knocked
down twice. Dummy had his lip split.
Ellis, "A demon, fought his OWL side.
Kick his feet from under him! Oh,
kick hard! Sit on his legs; there now.
Ali. hell. he's bitten me! Look out!
Here comes the bouncer." 1t was Van
dover who uttered those cries and direc e.

lands aad shu, teeth." Not to dwell
upon the rude injury that nc appears
TO he inilicting upon those virtues. we
may wonder how the realists literary
style Will be affected. VIII he write
with tooth and nail? Something Of u
shock comes In reading what the faith
tul realist Will say when he has fin
ished his book. 1t is set down here that
he Will say: by -! l told them the
truth" This is strong reproach to
untruthful novelists. The Grimm
brothers wrote at the end of one Of
their tales: Anybody that does not be-
l!eve this story must pay half crown"
Nobody ever paid. and we arc satisfied
that these cherished twain we're re-
alls's to the core.
The delayed Norris novel IL scru-
pulously realistic. The career Of Van
dover is related from his childhood to
the time when his sensual nature had
rendered him quite AFFECT. His mother
died In the railroad station of one OF
the larger towns OF western New York
when the family was removing from
Boston to San Francisco. The death
is described realistically, without reti-
cence. The impression Is painful. de-
pressing Tho fathers business Of spec
ulatlve land buying and house building
Is described. The detail OF it is af-
f1rdcd. The reader can learn just how
the cheap fiat houses went up, how
the financial part of the enterprise was
conducted; the story tells about the
mort gages, the rents. the bank loans
THE new houses, although built so
cheaply that they were mere shells OF
lath and plaster. were nevertheless
made gay and brave with varnish and
cheap mill work" There are your fats,
a true picture, The account of VAN
dover's father goes straight ahead, no
playing with the subject, everything
plain and serious: much more serious,
for instance. than the account OF PEN
denniss father. the apothecary.
When he was high school boy Van
dover made discoveries concerning sex.
file hunted the subject in books. What
he learned made him unhappy. The
story tells succinctly. rather severely,
what he learned. At Harvard he met
girls he blushed; he had "A touch OF
shame Back again in San Francisco
