No one is fonder of stripping illusions

with. fond raillery that leaves no room
for anything ironic or bitter. He shows
his novelist working with an exaltation

he finishes his story Mr.. Merrick saws:

Is that a pretty paragraph for the
editor of "a perfectly genuine document
we use Mr.. Walpole's words-to leave
in the manuscript If it is genuine doc
ument, at least fifty persons will identify
Barbellion-and his widow. Therefore we
decline to believe what Mr. Walpole be-

Barbellion has defiant flash before he
dies:
"You would pity me, would youf I am

Believe us, it is not all as cherries as
this. In his youth, stretched out on a
warm rock in the salmon pool, Barbellion
saw life with normal eyes.

Meanwhile Barbellion has married. He
says, in words, that he was much in love,

young man about TO be married, similar to
that given by Punch. We read: 1.-TWO
friends were sitting together outside the
Cafe des Tribunaux at Dieppe. One of
them was falling in love; the other, an
untidy and morOse little man, was wasting
his advice" For the novelist encouraged
by the fattering reviews of his first novel,
marries Cynthia, only to discover that fiat
tering reviews are not an absolute guaran-
tee that book will sell. He is obliged
to take an assistant editorship on a doubt
full paper in Paris, and later to become
"ghost" for the popular Mrs. Deane-Pitt
and grind out stories to be published un.
der the glamour of her name.
In Paris the novelist and Cynthia and
Baby have bad time, what with trying to
get by the 'bureau" of their ever watch
full madame, and to keep the news of their
financial straits from Baby's superioi
nurse. "Hang the woman!' says Kent.
"Shes a perfect bugbear to us; we're all
the time struggling to live up to the tea
pot" In Paris, Kent and Cynthia learn,
you can do everything you want to do
except not pay.
Cynthia's Philistine family is amusingly
portrayed. The mother, "ludicrously arti-
ficial," is the kind who sputters and with
whom speech is a succession of spasms.
Cynthia's brother Caesar is a fat young
man with a moist curl and a clammy
hand, whose operate debut has more
pOstpOnements than bis brother-in-law's
novel has reflections. The following pas
sage describes Caesar singing, in strong if
not good voice:
"He languished at the gasalier and
roared- 1t was prodigious roar No
one could dispute that he possessed a
voice of phenomenal power, if it were
once conceded to be a voice in the musi-
cal sense at all. 1t seemed as if he must
burst his corsets and shift the furniture
that the ceiling itself must split with the
noise that he hurled up. Perspiration broke
out on him and rolled down his face, as
he writhed at the gas globes. His large
body was contorted with exertion. But
he never faltered. Below upon below he
