pole, Gilbert Canaan, Compton Mackenzie
and D. Fl. Lawrence. There is chapter
on the Irish writers and another on young
English poets.
Besides thus briefly describing the book,
it is usual in the case of a volume like this
to note a few excellences and imperfec-
tons. We see one excellence: The book is
written with clarity and precision. The
chapter on Conrad, contributed by Leland
Hall, contains most of what the Folletts
have had to say about him and much bet
ter expressed. The chapter on Samuel
Butler is also contributed, and by Jeffer-
son B. Fletcher. First rate, we think it.
Shaw is well told about.
The defect of the book is the defect
common TO nearly all such works. English
literature during the last half century
has consisted of the persons treated and,
quite equally, it has consisted Of Hall
Game, Marie Corelli, Elinor Glyn, Nat
Gould, Victoria Cross, Florence L. Bar
clay, Eden Phllpotts, Conan Doyle,

made. Our own opinion is that the selec-
ton here made, as in almost every case.
is very one sided. Our own opinion is
that there is as much to be learned from
contemplation of the works of Marie
Corelli as from an examination of the
novels Of John Galsworthy. Our own
opinion is that to confne ones studies to
achievement Of a certain kind is neither
scientific nor sensible. 1t is as if one went
in exclusively for qualitative chemistry,
ignoring quantitative chemistry; or for
the observation of volcanoes only and an
utter disregard of glaciers. If there were
specialists in Corelh as well rs specialists
in Galsworthy we should not say a word;
but there are not. However, the attempt
TO create aristocracies in so democratic a
thing as literature viii always fail.

"The Lady From
Long Acre"

NICToR BRIDGEs's new novel, The
' Lady from Long Acre, is book
TO be read while one is recovering from
influenza or under other circumstances Of
a mental vacation. 1t is innocuous, en-
tertaining and in no sense n strain upon
gray matter. It belong TO that large
family Of very light fiction, wherein de-
posed kings fall innocently in love with
gayety girls and queens are wooed by
commoners Of uncommon looks, charms
and cash. How the influence of one
Prisoner Of Fonda does continue!
The author has apparently set himself
the task. of contriving that some excite
ment shall enhven every page, for incl
dents follow each other breathlessly from
the time when Sir Antony Conway and
his private prize fighter, one Tiger Bugg,
rescue n young and beautiful girl from
the clutches of two men who are annoy
ing her. True, Sir Antony learns later
that their worst intentions are to seat the
lady on n throne and marry her to a king.
But she doesn't wish crown, for some
absurd reason or other, prefeTring to
roam London unprovided with funds-or
be rescued by handsome member Of the
British nobility. The hero departs from
the conventional idea in having some one
else to do his fighting for his inamorata,

We know that those, who live by fashion, die
Also by fashion, and that mode kills mode.
We know the great age is the road,
And Death is at the heart of every lie;
But we've jest together Truth and I;
And have locked the doors to our abode
Yet, if these myriad "rebels' in their pride
Should pass that way and hear us, laughing low
Like lovers in the darkness, side by side

On Certain Realists.
You with the quick, sardonic eye
For all the mockeries of life,
Beware in this dark masque Of things that seem,
Lest that tragic irony
Which you discern in this mortal strife
Trick you and trap you, also, with dream.
Last night dead borne along
The City Streets passing bosterous throng
That never ceased to laugh and shout and dance;
And yet, and yet,
For all the poison bitter minds might brew
From themes like this, knew
That the stern Truth would not permit her glance
Thus to be fooled by flying straws of chance,
For her keen eyes deeper skies set,
And laws that tragic ronists forget.
She saw the dead mans lie, from Dlrth 10 death,
All that he knew Of love and sin and pain,
Success and failure (not this world sees),
His doubts his passions, inner loss and gain,
And borne darker tides Of constant law
Beyond the margin of this life she
All that had left his body with the breath;
These things TO her, still realities
If any incurred for him unseen
She them, too.
If none she'd not pretend
His clay were colder, his God less true,
Or that his grave, at length, would be less green.
Shed not deny
The boundess depths of her eternal sky
Broodng above boundless universe
Because he seemed to mans unseeing eye

doing little further to fare worse;
Nor would she assume he lacked that unseen friend
Whom even the tragic ironists declare
We're better than the seen, in his last end.
Oh, then, beware beware
Lest in the strong Of reality
You mock yourselves with shapes Of air.
Lest it be you, agnoscs, who rewrite
The lettering creeds of night,
Affirm you know your own Unknowable
And lock the winged soul in a new hell;
Lest it be you, lip worshippers of Truth,
Who break the heart of YOUTH
Lest it be you, the realsts, who fight
With shadows and forget your own pure light;
Lest it be you, who, with little shroud
Snatched from the sightless faces Of the dead
Hoodwink the world, and keep the mourner bowed
In DUST real dust with stones real stones, for breads
Lest, as you look one-eighth of an inch beneath
The yellow skin of death
You dream yourselves discoveries of the skull
That old rpemento mori of our faith;
Lest it be you who hunt flying wrath
Through this dssolving stuff of hill and cloud;
Lest it be you, who, at the last annul
Your covenant with your kind
Lest it be you who darken heart and mind
Sell the strong soul in bondage to dream,
And fetter US, once more, to things that seem.
