This Was Daisy.

"Well so will you said Ethel IN q
snappy tone and she ran out of the
room with a very Superior run throw
ing out her legs behind and her arms
swinging in rithum."
We hardly know where to start
quoting or where to stop. Mr.. Salteena
and Ethel go to visit Bernard Clark:
'tMr. Salteena woke up FARTHER
early and was surprised and de-
lighted to find Horace the footman
entering with cup Of tea.
"Oh thank you my man said Mr..
Salteena rolling over in costly
bed :. Ethel are you getting

teena thought he had better kiss it.

Why, The Young Vssiters' belated
conquest of London Is q veritable
peter-pannikin of the conquest by
Jans Eyrei Like another Courier
Bell" Daisy wrote in the obseurity Of
a modest country home. Then she for
got her MS. and grew up-and here
it is, the sensation of the hour, I'M,
doubtedly pouring royalties upon her!
Commentators will say (theyu say
anything) that its London triumph
Is due to its value as relief after the
war. We don't consider that ex-
PLANTATION adequate. We think it
would have been snatched at in the
ninetieth year of q century Of deep
peace. ....
The hero is Nh Salteena, can
elderly man Of AZ not quite
a gentleman, but yo1 would never no
tice it, but it CAM be helped, any
how" as he says; however, he seeks
help for it, going up to town with q
letter to the Earl Of Clincham, who
lives in Compartments" in the
"Crystale Palace" and will put So
eial polish upon not-quite gentlemen
and smuggle them into high life, pro.
vided they have "plenty in the bank
and 10 pounds in ready gold" Little
pitchers had big ears in the Ashford

notes; Ethel will "put some red ruge

Any child s private and secret effort
in authorship is unconsciously dear
and funny, like Emmy Lou, but in
spots. Daisy's production, beside be-
ing remarkable even in its length
and completeness" is richly dear and
funny on every page. We do not
wonder at the prudence Of the Ameri-
can publisher, who requests reviewers
to limit their quoting.
This genuine article puts to shame
the best humorists' imitation Of
juvenile writing. It beats the san
culinary adventures of Harold Ra-
morez, attributed to Penrod, and prob
ably an edited document" Chap
eron, as Barrie observes, seems to be
the one good word Daisy had never
heard Of; and the several instanta-
neously fruitful honeymoons she ends
with are ever so much funnier in that
way than Eugene Fields Primer
fable Of the little girl growing up all
alone on an island and having seven
babies. Some one wrote a fairy tale
series a la Daisy for Punch a while
ago: it was clever, but Daisy leaves it
insipid.
Here and there is touch which
would suggest adult assistance, did
not Barrie vow that the manuscript
was accurately reproduced without
change. When his word is given, we
for one decline to try to go back of
the returns; and as for two hundred
other touches, the choicest blossoms in
the Daisy chain, no mature contriv-
ance could have produced them. What
concerns us now is a fear that once
the book has got going in this country
seventeen publishers will hire seven
teen writer's to emulate it, or else dig
up every child's manuscript in the
land, expecting to make money off
second Daisy. 1t can't be done, and
our publishing friends are hereby
warned not to try.
One aspect of Daisy's conquest is
especially gratifying. Lo, sterling
new departure in the shape of an
English first novel whose hitherto un-
known author is not suspected Of be-
ing Mr.. Wellsl

urally the great love scene We dsnt
mean to quote word of it; yeu are
expected to read this book! Over the
introduction we cannot contain our
righteous anger. That brute of Bar
RE takes abominable liberties on the
strength Of the heroine's likeness at 9.
There is eomplacency about it. h
writes, that by the severe might per-
haps be called smugness. 1t needed
no effort for that face to knock off
masterpiece. When she was actually
at work 1 think the expression was
more solemn, with the tongue firmly
clenched between the teeth" And he
imagines the tongue put farther and
farther out as the story was advanced,
and slowly pulled in at the rapturous
moment of completion. This is no
nightly fashion of escorting a young
lady.

Il list Sir James Barrie is the
sponsor of Daisy Ashford in her
American debut. The Young Visiters

these pages two weeks ago. Every
one who read his London letter must

will now have opportunity, provided
Mr.. Sumner keeps hands off. All
London is reading it. Mr.. Walpole
says so, and we learn from a man who
knows that the sale there is running
to 1000 copies day.
Somewhat as has been said of Walt
Whitman, Miss Daisy s literary moral
ity is rather un than an. Our reason
for apprehending vigilant move by
Mr.. Simmer will be apparent from
the following extracts. The heroine,
Ethel Monticuc, is house guest of the
sub-hero, Bernard Clark:
Suddenly Bernard Lit his pipe. l
was thinking he said passionately
what about going up to London for a

Miss Daisy Ashford is grown up
now, but when she wrote her novel
she was 9. She wrote it, Barrie tells,
Gin a stout little notebook (twopence),
and there it has lain for years
in lavender, as it were, waiting for a
publisher to ride that way and rescue
it." But this is sighting treatment
of the romance of its success-just the
