A CRITIC whose name has
~ escaped my memory,
L = though I believe it was
David Starr Jordan, once said:
Everyone has it in him to write
one good book"
The idea being that human ex-
prience, if it has been rich
enough, is like the natural vint-
age, that without force or pres
sure, accumulates in the watts
from the weight of the grapes.
Doubtless this is why so many
people write such excellent letters
on subjects that touch them deep
ly. On opening my mail l am Of
ten impressed with the amount of
literary talent Lying around
loose" and it is always a question
whether these correspondents
would write equally well on mat
tiers that are less vital to them.
Not long ago, a very young girl
who described herself as an incur
able cripple, wrote me a letter
that in its simple acceptance of
the inevitable was a classic. There
was no apparent art, no conscious
literary quality, and yet it could
not have been told better, the
story Of a young, joyous heart that
cried out from a crippled body for
all the beautiful things in life
that she knew would pass her by.
Never a word of bitterness, only
a brave facing of facts and the
question of how to make the best
of what had been given to her.
She asked me not to publish her
letter and of course | complied,
but regretfully, as / knew it would
bring a quick and generous re-
Spouse from warm-hearted read
ers who very probably would have
more helpful suggestions to offer
her than l.
The discussion on "Promiscuous
kissing" has evoked many excel
lent letters, though none better
than the following, which is given
in part. One is conscious of read
ing it with the same hope of a
"happy ending" that one brought
to those first love stories of early
youth. And in spite of the
"packet Of sealed letters" one still
hopes the impossible may happen,
and the young soldier and this
girl, who is facing life so IN
selfishly, may meet again and be
"happy ever after"
wish this girl had felt suffici-
emily assured of my discretion to
trust me with her name and ad-
dress. I'd like to write to her per-
sonally.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
The question of kissing discussed
in your column lately has intrigued
me very much. ] feel a bit diff
dent about expressing my opinion
in the matter because I don't agree
with anyone and II you should hap
