Famous Carlyle House.
The market where Washington sent
his farm products lay right in the
heart of Alexandria and upon square
about which stood some of the towns
most noted residences and landmarks.
Among these was the Carlyle house.
and despite the passage of time and
the physical changes wrought in that
quaint Virginia city. this historic home
survives intact today. The Carlyle
house is intimately identified with
Washington's career and particularly
with the very beginning of his mill
tary calling.
As the story goes. the bricks for the
building were imported and so. too. the
stone of which it was built in 1872.
John s. Carlyle utilized for part
of the foundation portion of
an old fort, which many years earlier
Ind stood guard against the Indians
for the protection of English traders
on Hunting Creek. as the place was
then known. The barracks of that ad-
vance post of civilization became the
COLLAR If the Carlyle house. and there
in its cool shadows was stored the
mellow wine that tickled the palates
e those DAYS. From the heavy beams
nv arhoal hung pendant the luscious
homs for which Virginia is still noted.

Wells the Passionate Schemat;St


 F. H. in the New Republic
 One does not conceive of Carlyle or Ruskin as writing novels. When they attacked the problems of statesmanship or political science they did it in canon icals from a pulpit. And, per contra, when the great novelists have had any, thing to say continguous to politics they have usually kept their purposes in the background. The last thing expected or them has been a first-rate practical ca- pacity for political and social ideas. A capacity if you like, but not a capac- lty applied The good novelist, like the good sculptor, has been expected ito wrap politics in toga. This does not 80 for Mir, Wells. More and more MT. Wells declines, to engross himself in persons as persons. The happy or un- happy interlacentent of personal destf- nies may provoke other men to poetry and drama. MT. Wells is a passionate schematist who is using the storytellers art for other ends. What concerns him is not the line. the color, the mass. the music Of human appearances What con- cerns him primarily is his purposeful elucidation of the universe His novels are mainly. an attempt to give the most kinetic form to his current elucidation They do not seek to seize the pattern of diverse personalities or the pattern or institutions in relation to personalities. They present instead a brilliant pattern of pronounced social and political con- Victions. It is to corroborate his think ing that this intense and extraordinary insitent man takes hold of the medium of fiction.
