But ski jumping from the towering hillside is worth sitting in the snow to watch.

all civilized nations, is perhaps the most devoted to realities in life-yet she seems to have been the least aple to attain reality in literature. Achieve ment has been the watcnword ot her people; progress the ideal of her clVl- lization Actually, more than traoluon. artistry. or superstition, has been her compelling factor but little of tnls realism of street. shop, and home mas been reflected in American literature.
 Our fiction has been largely the ex- pression of remote romanuclsm, not to say sentimentalism. The stories we read, like that of King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid tell of heoines who begin life as paupers and end as so- ciety queens; of heroes who meet and win the object of their dreams during a thrilling railroad accident; or of worthy young men who become mil lionaires through a winning personal ity and a stroke of luck. These are the characters whose antics absorb American readers Of light literature.
 Strangely enough, it seems to take visionary, temperamental, lyric race to produce realistic fiction. Ushered in many years ago by the Russians and the French, realism in fiction found tremendous vogue abroad. In those old countries people enjoy reading Of life as it is, rather than as the adol- escent dreamer imagines it to be. Ang- To- SaXons have not found this extreme | realism attractive, but lately with H. 1 G. Wellss and Arnold Bennett's re- markable art of detail and character analysis, a modified type-a sort of romantic realism-has captured the
 conservative taste of the English people
 1 Tn America, too, we have had a num- | Der of authors whose work has ex- ! pressed this fondness for truth in fic- 1 tion. Villa $. Gather, for example, who takes prominent place in this movement toward reality, might almost
 be called the realist of Americas west l ern prairie land. But few novelists de- l picting the intricate social life of the 1 East, with it's complex of human re- lationships, have come nearer to unal- 1 loved realism than Arthur Hodges, the author of 'The Bounder.'
 IL is not over-rating MT Hodge s | powers by suggesting that he will do
 for American readers what some of the 1 best English authors have done for the l British people. His pen transcribes
 exactly, but with vivid emotional color, | the scenes, the characters and the
 events he writes about. No popular criterion of what fiction ought to be | forces him into the path of false senti-
 ment
 1 Writers of fiction who have the cour-
 age to throw off the Ietters placed upon them by tradition, and write Of
 life as it really is (which, by the way does not imply that their novels must
 be disagreeable) rather than of life
 seen through a mist of sentimentalism
 ought to be warmly greeted in Ameri-
 ca. We need authors who have the courage to strike in our fiction the tonic chord of reality. Men and women
 who ''see life clearly and see it whole
 are the writers whose books will sur
 vive the fickleness of generations and
 retain a lasting place on the shelves of
 our libraries.

"eALsWoRTHY IN AMERICA

John Galsworthy is spending the spring in this country, and We Americans are likely to get some particularly search ing comments on ourselves, and our literature from the distinguished visi- tor in the months to come. Some hint of this is found in the following para graph from an interview a few days after MT. Galsworthy's arrival. Speak, ing of the effect of the war on litera- ture in England, he is quoted as say ing:
 Tt has been sort of final sensation, and l don't think it can have been good for imaginative writers to get their final sensations so young. Tn so far, then, as the imaginative writer goes to life as now lived for his inspi- ration, I rather expect satiric writing for result. But l fancy in many cases he will turn his back 10 life and take to mere wall decoration and the rather barren business of art for arts sake, in the narrow sense. In America you have other factors at work, and all can say is I shall know more about your chances a. few weeks hence"
 This is not Mr. Galsworthys first visit to America, and his essay on American and Briton,' in his recently published volume, Another Sheaf, D shows that he has anything but an outsiders understanding of us already MT. Galsworthy's new novel. Saint Progress will be published in May (Scribner's)
