cember A box containing

Company today.
The bank, acting as agent for

nored perhaps because he believes that all endur-
ing art must be an allegory and rarely expresses
directly what he can subtly suggest, Charters or
Cabell says .,r..' o. --,- Il go - 10 b
at is perhaps on account Of this rash reliance
upon intelligence and imagination as being at all
ordinary human traits, that Mr.. Machen has failed
to appeal as instantly as, we will say, Mr. Robert
W. Chambers appeals to those immaculate and ter
rible ladies who languidly vend books in our de-
partment stores and with Olympian unconcern con-
fer success upon reading matter by recommending
it," The foot note on Chambers is as follows:
GA novelist of the day, appropriately commence
rated by Captain Rupert Hughes (another writer
of ficton) in the Cosmopolitan Magazine for June,
1918. Mr.. Chambers does not run about the world
shaking his fist at the sky splitting in other peo
ples faces There is eternal summer in
his heart The world is his rose garden Mr..
Chambers, according to the same authority, has
written masterpieces, 'triumphs of art, superb
fantasy thrilling drama &C., dealing for the
most part, with well groomed men and women in
their stately homes"
Other foot notes repeat equally astonishing
praise by Hearst's Magazine and the Cosmopolitan
of other writers frequently appearing in their
pages Mr.. Cabell finds amusing the trick Of hiring
staff writers to praise each other with reciprocal
extravaganza Another foot note speaks Of the
Saturday Erehing Post as "a widely circulated
advertising medium which printed considerable
fiction: published in Philadelphia
Booth in Tragic Role
Mr. Cabell's critical comments are not all satiri-
CAL however since he genuinely admires certain
contemporaries, as II. L. Mencken and Joseph
Hergesheimer. Concerning Booth Harrington he
speaks with scornful affection, believing that his
easy popularity is ruinons to his genius:
''Mr Booth Harrington, also, is a very popular
novelist But that take to be one of the most
tragic items in all the long list of misfortunes which
have befallen American literature. 1t is fact that

Nicholas and that the verses were wholly his own.
Mr.. Cabell work has been almost entirely in ro-
nance and much Of the discussion in Beyond Lffs
concerns the power of romance which he believes to
be ''world shaping and world controlling prlnei- !,
ple His idea is that romance controls the minds OF
men, and by creating force producing illusions
further the worlds betterment with the forces
thus brought into being. The sum of cor
porea life represents an essay in romantic fiction.
And so it comes about that romance has
been the demurgic and benefcent force, not merely
in letters but in every matter which concerns man
kind and realism, with its teaching that the mile
posts along the road are worthy of consideration
as the goal, has always figured mans chief en-
envy. 1t is by the grace of romance that
man has been exalted above the other animals.
Some Sample Sentences.
''Man alone of animals plays the ape to his
dreams. That dog dreams vehemently is mat.
ter of public knowledge; it is perfectly possible
that in his ecstaic visions he usurps the shape
of his master and visits Elysian pantries in human
form: and awakening he observes that in point Of
fact he is dog, and a rational animal, makes
the best of canineship. But with man the case is
otherwise. \
''To me who w6nder at the irrationality of all
this to me- Also life has been intermnable effort
to pretend to be what seemed expected. . &.
And l have suffered as yet open detection. The
neshbors seem to accept me quite grayely as the
head of family; the chauffeur touches his cap and
calls me sir; publishers bring out my books; and
nay wife fairmindedly discusses with me all our
differences of opinion, so that we may without any
bitterness reach the compromise of doing what she
originally suggested"
But these detached bits not fair to the author.

fact that they may not agree with him. That is
trivial matter.
Beyond Life is Mr.. Cabells first volume
of essays his previous books including novels,
short stories, poems and genealogical trea-
tses He remarked to the writer one afternoon last
summer, at his home in Virginia, that he greatly
liked essay writing but that because of the limited
market for the essay in America he usually compro-
missed by inserting little essays IN his novels and as
forewords to his books Those who have found these
digressons peculiarly delightful will be prepared
forlthe pleasure to be derived from this new volume
devoted wholly to ideas apart from narrative.
An All Night Job.
The book is in the form of dialogue between
two friends, one of them John Charters, novel
list who figures elsewhere in Mr.. Cabell's works.
Charters, in attempting to expound his philosophy
of the life beyond life which by Milton is at
tributed to good books, talks until dawn without
wz,rying his actual or his vcarious listener.
"'Off hand, began John Charters, Il would say
that books are best insured against oblivion through
practice of the auctoria virtues of distinction and
clarity of beauty and symmetry, of tenderness and
truth and urbanity.' On this as a basis for Judg
ment, Charteris-or Cabell-diseourses concerning
books and their makers with keenness of percep
ton which only urbanity confers and with satire
that is delectable America has too few satirsts of
a sane and healthy character to neglect this one.
Underneath the surface seriousness of this expo
siton is puckish drolery directed against various
persons and publications which the author is in
clned to think will mot escape forgetfulness, but
(which, lacking the auctorial virtues mentioned
previously, are passing in limousines to oblivion. -
He is meditating aloud in an apparently timeless
fashion somewhere he makes capital distinction
between timeness and timelessness} and editorial
foot notes naivey explain certain illusions for the
information of the future reader.
For instance, in speaking of the neglect accorded
Arthur Machen, who has been undeservedly ig-
