DRANK MOORE COLBY in 1.-THE
4 Margin Of Hesitation" Dodd. Mead
x Coz lacks the llghtness Of touch of
the two Englishmcn. One feels as one
reads as IL Mr.. Colby had in the back
Of his mind n didactic purpose. This is
fatal to the light essay. BY this ]
do not mean that there is not place
for essays frankly committed to advo-
cacy Of this or that worthy idea or
cause. The most entertaining essays
however, are those which conceal their
advocacy when 1t exists beneath casual
manner. the manner Of the experienced
diner out at tie table in the presence
OF persons whose susceptibilities he has
trained himself to respect.
But Mr.. Colby is worth reading. even
IL he has to be approached in different
mood from which one approaches Milne
or Beerbohm. His comment on II. &.
Wells, which he calls Thinking in
Haste" illustrates his manner and the
quality Of his thinking. The title itself
is a sort of accusation and what follows
justifes it. lie says in one place: "ot
course, Mr.. Wells is not, in the austerc
sense Of the term, a thoughtful person,
and he docs not make his characters
engage in any such dry. lonely and
unpopular process as thinking. If he
did they would be quite generally re-
pulsivc. But he does somehow contrivC
the illusion that n good denl is going on
in their minds. and he makes them spit
out between clcnchcd teeth n platitudC
that you will often mistake for an as
tonishing idea. That is the measure OF
| Mr.. Wells skill
When one is In tho mood for such
things Mr.. Colby's book is just what one
wants to read Mines lighter triiinl
would irrltatc and Bccrbohm's gcntlei
touch would seem inadequate to the de-
mHnds Of the subject.

THE makers of light verse have n
L place as sure aS the writer's Of light
cssayH. Among the most proficient
praCtlcers of this art in America are
Bert Lesion Tavlor and Don Marquis.
Although TaylC died within a year,
his works are likely to live long after
him. Arrangements have already been
made to publish n series Of volumes
with his name on the title page. The
first "a Penny Whistle" GA. \. KnopG
has Just appeared. The title was &C.
lcctcd by Taylor before he died. and
the order in which the pieces should
appear had bccn arranged by him. Tay-
lor's immediate literary progenitor was
Eugene Field. And curiously enough,
both Field and Taylor are of New Eng
land origin. and both did in Chicago
the work by which they are remembered.
Indeed, Taylor succeeded Field as the
conductor of column in Chicago
newspaper. lie plays with Horace ns
Field did, and he writes sentimental
verse about little children and indu'gcs
in burlesque after the manner Of Field.
And now and then he touches serious
note which leads one to conclude that II
he had been so disposed he might have
written important, as well as interest =
ing. verse.
1t is not so easy to trace the origins
of Don Marquis, who has just issued a
now book of verse with his famous fish :
| ing poem. "Noah an Jonah an Cap'r
John Smith" %. Appleto. & Co..,
giving it its name. There is more
pungcncy and vlgor in Marquis than IN
! TAYLOR. and his humor Is more mascu :
line. He is Thomas Hood with q sar'
donic grin. rs Taylor might be called
Calverlcy with an American twist. Mar
ouis uses all kinds. of meter, and oc'
casionaly drops into free. verse, bu
Taylor abhors free verse. lie writes:
The verses of the modern potr,
ThE things he labels free,
Resemble much little boat
That's ruddcrlcss at sea.
And he always has a ruddcr of rhym

The CamerOnia on Maiden
Trip From Glasgow to
New York.

In the fleet of forty steamships shown
on the chart to-day, fourteen of which
are bound west. is the big new Anchor
liner Cameronia (J-S) on her maiden
trip from Glasgow to this port. She is
the first of squadron of five ships of
the line nearing completion and has the
distinction of being the first oil burning
steamship designed for the Glasgow
New York route.
Because of the compact manner OF
carrying her oil fuel and the use Of
only one funnel the Cameronia and ves-
sells of her type will have larger ac-
commodations than coal burning ships
of the same dimensions. Her gross
tonnage is 16.700 and she Is 571 feet
long. She is named for the Cameronia
that was lost in the war; which was the
fate of six other vessels of the Anchor
Line.
