Books

Oh. writer, write a story that's
full of vim and fire, of men who
wade to glory through perils dark
and dire. Write up the chap he
-roic who faces fearful odds, with
'ealmness of the Stole, and courage
OF the gods. For we are tired of
fiction which doesn't hit the spot,
which gives us polished diction in
place of battling plot. Oh, when a
man is weary. from toiling in the
mart, he wants a volume CHEEKY,
that stirs his jaded heart. Below
the mark OF zero is Artful Work
manship: he wants to meet a hero
who makes things hum and zip.
Oh, writer fair, determine your
method in advance! If YOU must
write a sermon, don't label it Ro-
nance. We hear about a novel
that is a gem indeed: we take it to
our hovel, and there sit down to
read, expecting something classy,
and find it is a frost; the pub
fishers were brassy who stuck us
for the cost. Don't fool the weary
Croesus, don't touch him for his
kale: don't hand him out thesis,
and say it is tale.
