Y ETTERS FROM A PRAIRIE GAR
IL DEN, by Edna Worthley Under
~ood, might be called Crossed Wires or
Crossed Souls, for the whole business Of
which this book is the exc and issue be-
gan this wise:
@Hello!"
HHcilow
as that youf"
SWho are youi"
"Why, mew 90.
@You're on the wrong wire-Opera-"
az can't hear a word you"
"0ur wires are crossed"
Operator, please"
"Ha! HAP
'HelloI Our wires get crossed each
day-you are the woman who laughs"
"Must be destiny, fate, or something,
Mr. Man Whoever You-Are. Some jinx is
always"
"Fm an artist manw
Sim q lady writer-and I'm interested
in Renoir, That's, Anatole France, China,
the twilight Of the gods, Joseph Conrad
and oh, lot of things"
"Bully! Let's write one another just
like Prosper Merimee did to his Unknown
and Guy de Maupassant and the rest of
'em-heyr
And so they were off. The Letters From
Q Prairie Garden are thus genuine letters
and not at all fictional or otherwise arts
tically true. They went through the mail
right under the eye of Mr. Burleson. They
apparently always reached him, a "fa-
nous artist" we are told, who has gone
to a mid-Western city on business and
who got meshed III crossed wires at his
hotel, as outlined above None of his let
tiers appears in the book, probably because
the lady thought that he, being famous,
was of no Importance, being only a man
anyhow.
The lady can write. The lady has ideas.
The lady knows, artistically, hawk from
q ringworm. She has, mentally, skipped
the light fantastic from the pictorial
doings of the River Drift Gibsons to the
music of Dukas, the Kaiser and the latest
issues of yugend. She loves Nature, bot
tied beer and the Hegelian Becoming. She
makes of her opinions a fine mask to
hide her heart. There is an absence of Sex
in the book that jars on US. The world
is waiting for another volume of hot love
letters, something Pan-devilish and neo-
frenzieal. Anne Gilchrist was too sincere.
Edna Underwood never spills fhe beans;
she is always coldly amylowellish.
See how frigid we can be:
81 fancied that 1 passed you on the
street to-day-you whom 1 have never
seen-and there was a woman walking
with you, a beautiful woman.
@When we were exactly opposite each
other the woman looked up and observed
me- Then she turned to you and inquired,
why are that woman's thoughts so far
awayF
"Swift as swallows wings your eyes
swept my face. You replied: 4 think
she is building a dream house for some
