In every lot OF hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten

WHEN Margaret Widdemer turns
w from a poef into a novelist she

~ VINO ! hNSH - ~ Nk>hA S1>Ae'S
VX/HEN Margaret Widdemer turns
w from a poet into q novelist she
does a Jekyl and Hyde trick which
amounts almost to psychic phenomenon.
From her poetry you would expect fiction
in q class with Edith Wharton, Anne
Douglas Sedgwick and May Sinclair, in
stead of which you get the Pollyanna,
Laddie, Mary Cary kind Of doc.ored TO-
nance which q poet like Ella Wheeler
Wilcox at her faintest or Theodosia Gar
rison might give vent to.
All that the publishers say Of You're
Only Young Once is true. There are
eight romances and it does "eome like
sunny day in the gray Of war times"
Perhaps we ought not to expect more and
yet we do. 1t is not possible to content
ourselves with this sort of thing from the
author of The Old Road to Paradise.
There was an interview with Margaret
Widdemer in one of our papers some
time ago in which she had . good deal
to say about Robert Louis Stevenson's re-
sponsibility for the "glad" element in lit
erature and she was badly criticised for
what she said by people who failed to
realize that she was one of the 'glad"
writers herself.
In You're Only Young Once Miss Wild
demer demonstrates the easiest way Of
writing a novel. She takes family Of
eight and chops the book up into eight
romances, marrying of each member Of
the family in turn after following the af-
fairs from their inception to the final
seloss Nd" Thus all the trouble Of sus-
