I have . very decided distaste for dis

those who are themselves striving to
write novels. n I have always made II
. rule not to be drawn into these con-
troversies in spite Of the pressure &C.

good book written by an American au-
thor. and thankful for every better book.
My attitude Is not 40 much one Of criti-
