Madame d'Arblay, or Fanny Burney,
as she is sometimes better known,
married General d,Arblay when he
was poor and for years they lived in
a very simple style.
For all that, they lived happily. And
they eve wanted for friends, Fanny
Burney before her marriage held the
position of attendant to Charlotte. the
queen Of George III, and in this way
a met many prominent persons.
Moreover, she was a very interesting
young woman and came of a well
placed family. So her prominent
friends were legion and they all came
to visit her, no matter how humble the
cottage she lived in.
Madame d'Arblay and her husband
faced the fact that they We're poor
with equanimity. She used to quote
something Dr.. Samuel Johnson. whom
she knew well, once said to a. young
MAJ who remarked that a friend OF

would say, when she asked an import

she could be poor happily was because
she never looked upon expensive pos

Progressivism--and After.
William English Walling has chosen
as the topic of his new book one that
IS everywhere in the air--progressiv-
not merely progressivisn1 it.
self, but it's consequences. The title
which he gives to the volume, Pro-
gresslVistn-and After, well indicates
ITS scope. The question underlying all
OF MS thought may be phrased some
what as follows-How far will this
radical political reform that has been
sweeping the world for several years
proceed? What will be the results of
moves Of the progressives, the
progressive republicans, the progress
slve democrats in America, of the rad
icals In Great Britain, of the socialis-
TIC radicals and the independent So
clallsts OF France? To what end will
their platforms carry the political and
life Of today?
Mr.. Walling is a. writer with whom
people agree and disagree. Whatever
may be the personal attitude of a Civ
en- reader, however, all admit that his
thoughts and theories are worthy of
the most serious consideration. Par
ticularly will this be found true in the
present volume. Here he is not ex-
pounding socialistic doctrines SO much
he is ~forecasting things that are to
come and interpreting the things of
today. Progressivism--and After was
not written, therefore. primarily for
socialists, but for these and for all
who are interested I'm the trend Of
government and it's reform.
