A Wells Novel Revived
Love and Mr.. Lewisham" Reveals Author as
Story Teller Rather Than Teacher

stand, and behind the door against the
Sunday trousers was portrait of
Carlyle. These we're no threats against
the universe; operations had begun"
Mr.. Lewisham was determined there
should be no miscarriage Of his designs
on greatness for lack of little plan
ming. To that end he had compiled a
scheme of listing neatly and systemati-
cally all the stations and stops en-
route. ("Why," remarks Mr.. Wells,
che should not have headed it Scheme
the editor Of The Church Times who
calls his miscellaneous notes 'Varia
is better able to say.') SIN this
scheme, 1892 was indicated as the year
in which Mr.. Lewisham proposed to
take his B. A. degree at London Uni
versity with hons. in all Subjects and
1895. as the date of his gold medal
Subsequently there was to be pam
phlets in the liberal interests and such
like things duly dated"
But, after all this serious resolve 20
be master of his fate, Fate slyly inter
posed foot and Mr. Lewisham
sprawled over it-into love. In this
phase of Mr.. Lewisham Mr.. Wells
shows a truer understanding than al
most any one else who has written of
adolescence. There is, of course. the
, humor of adolescence--the intense Sc
robustness, the pathetic faith in the I'M
tried axiom, the inarticulateness. In
his first encounter with the Girl Mr.!
Lewisham is as inarticulate as even
Booth Harrington could wish. They
are both exquisitely funny. But
Mr.. Wells has a deeper clairvoyance

into youth than those who gee it's sur
face humor. He sees the poetry Of
it, something Of the bueaty Of it's
cloudy longings and visions.
Mr.. Lewsham was by his tempera-
ment saved from that academic ideal
Of greatness to which his youthful
spirit was dedicated. Again and again
life seized him roughly and wheeled
him about. Love sets him years be-
hind his schedule and marriage finally
nullifes it. And yet in the end he is
the nearer to greatness Though Of
quite different sort) in that he has
yielded to the opportunities Of life. His
inability to withstand its distracting
claims is his strength and not his weak
ness.
love and Mr.. Lewisham" antedates
Mr.. Wells in his character as propa-
gandist, and yet practically all that
Mr.. Wells had to say on education in
one chapter in which Mr.. Lewisham
seeks a new teaching post. There is a
greater vividness in that episode in
which Mr.. Lewisham, married and
shabby, without the high moral con-
seriousness of having been graduated
from good public school, becomes
aware of the disgrace Of his water
proof collar than in the half book
or so of Joan and Peter" in which
Mr.. Wells explores the whole system of
British education. The shoddiness and
professions of the educational system
the inferiority Of the teachers position,
are all dramatzed in the half dozen
pages.
Mr.. Wells nobly restraints any i'm
pulse to interpose himself into Love
and Mr.. Lewisham." Probably he has
his say in the character Of Chaffery,
the mediumistic fraud, who gives Lew
isham his first lesson in realistic think
ing. But he moves among his creations
on terms of equality. He was in those
days self abnegating parent. He is
in these days a schoolma ster-and he
rules automatically.

Advice for Writers
Editor Tells How to Avoid
Rejection Slips

A UTHORS and publishers seem 70
~ be much the same all over the
world. Miss Flora Hickman is
an English editor, but her book of ad-
vice for young authors, published by
G. P. Putnam's Sons under the title
1.-THE Lure Of the PEN" may we'll be
taken to heart by would-be American
authors as we'll. There is perhaps one
point on which Miss Hickman is more
rigid than the average American
editor: she lays an implacable ban
upon all literature which might be
construed as harmful to morals. Judg-
ing from the following profession e.
literary moralistic faith she would not
be likely to authorize the publication
of anything calculated to disturb the
sensitive souls of Mr.. Sumner and the
Society for the Suppression of Vice:
Everything tending to lower the
tone of the soul is immoral; every
thing that debases human taste is UNI
healthy; everything that gloats on un-
pleasantness, for the mere pleasure OF
gloating, is as devastating as poison
gas; everything that breaches a
doctrine Of hopelessness, that spreads
the black miasma of spiritual doubt
over the mind is bad-hendishly bad"
The author analyses and illustrates
the manifold sins which beset the
work Of the literary beginner, and sug-
gests various constructive remedies
She emphasizes the esirability of &C
quaintance with the subject, and of a
clear, precise style, and she gives nu-
merous horrible examples of rhapsodic
and poorly thought out illusions which
ity that occasionally creeps into the
authors discussion of aspiring authors
may we'll be pardoned, for nothing is SO
we'll calculated to stimulate spirit
of utter intellectual cynicism as close
acquaintance with FIRST efforts" in
verse and prose. Miss Klickmarr s
suggestions are invariably sound and
practical. Her own literary taste is
characterized by a tone OF rock-ribbed
conservatism. She pronounces this dew,
astating judgment upon experimenters
with new forms of poetry:
"The followers of this cult advocate
the abolition of all law and order; each
goes gayly on his own way, writing
whatsoever he pleases, no matter how
crude, or banal, or incoherent, or loath-
some; lines any and every length, I'M
limited full stops, or none at all; just
what is in the brain-and what state
of brain it reveals!

By Rebecca Drucker

VT is twenty-one years since Mr.
| Wells wrote "Love and Mr.. Levi
| sham" A change has come over
~ Mr.. Wells since that time. All of
his intuitions have become, conscious
and articulate-overwhelm articu-
late. One longs little for the time
when he left few things unsaid-
something for the reader to think when
he had finished.
But the really significant change is
in Mr.. Wels's aspect toward his own
creations. Having given them life, he
had a parental feeling for them that
transcribed even the passion for
teaching, which always lay dormant in
him. He could not abandon or slight
them, no matter what alluring thesis
lay just outside. He could not even
old-bloodedly Use them for Interior
purposes He had to see them through
in the characters he had given them.
But with the years Mr.. Wells's impulses
of fatherhood have cooled. He looks
calculatingly at his children. The older
Mr.. Wells will sacrifice child ur-
hesitatingly any day for a real attrac-
tive and debatable thesis. And he will
not scruple to exploit it to the point of
making him carry the burden of the
thesis.
"Love and Mr.. Lewisham" is of that
younger, happier, more spontaneous
cd n
his fatherhood. Mr.. Lewisham and
Mr.. Polly were born of his joy and
pride, not out of his intellectual con-
viction. Their existence as human be-
ings came before everything. Who can
doubt, from this description Of the
very young Mr.. Lewsham, the affec-
ton in which he was conceived? "He
was called Mr. to distinguish him
from the bigger boys whose duty 1t was
to learn, and it was a matter Of strin-
gent regulations that he should be
addressed as Sir He wore ready made
clothes, his black jacket was busted
with scholastic chalk, and his face WAS
downy and his mustache incipient. He
was a passable looking youngster of
eighteen, fair-haired, indifferently bar
bered and with quite unnecessary
pair of glasses on his fairly prominent
nose-he wore these to make himself
look older, that discipline might be
maintained"
1t was not possible to Judge from
Mr. Lewishams exterior what high
thoughts he harbored. "Mr. Lewisham
thought little of love, but much on
greatness. Over the head of the bed,
for example, where good folks hang
texts, these truths asserted themselves,
written in clear, bold, youthfu,ly
f1orid hand: knowledge is Power and
What Man Has Done Man Can Do
man in the second instance referring
to Mr. Lewisham. Never for a moment
were these things to be forgotten. Mr..
Lewisham could see them afresh every
