Il was all crippled up with rheuna-

hardly walk and. 1t was agony for me
to raise my arms Why, actually |
couldn't even lift bucket of coal.
My stomach was all upset. too, and
everything | ate turned sour and 1
was miserable. as people always are
who have indigestion. The circula-
ton of my blood was poor. too. and
no matter how heavy my clothing was
/ always felt cold and chilly.
Il thought | would have to give up
my Job. as | was almost past going,
but luckily for me. l got hold of Tan
lac and that put me on the road to
health right away. I never had such
an appetite in my life as | have right
now, and everything 1 eat agrees with
me. too. can just feel the blood
coursing thru my veins now and all
OF that chilly sensation is gone In
fact there is no more suffering for
me-my rheumatism Is all gone and
can do as big a days work as any
man | know. Tanlac helped my wife,

But the author has laid the founda-
ton of trouble for her by giving her a
heart and losing it for her before
worldly ambition has had fair chance.
II is a very elementary kind of love
that she feels for Toby. But it serves
the purpose of the drama. The story
shall not be told here. Swinnerton tells
it very well.
In the valuation of a book the name
should not count for very much. But
this one seems decidedly misleading.
For the implications of "Coquette" are
not carried out. Sally cares too much
for Toby to play with him as a true
ccquette plays with men. And there
is a good deal of kindness mixed with
her calculation in the case of Gaga
All this is praise, not blame, for the
temptation would be to make such a
incredible creature that inhabits only
the world of stock fiction. Sally is hu-
man, and her evocation is an achieve
ment. But she is very imperfectly and
incompletely a coquette.

work has not come. He writes good
stories and one reads on to the end.
But the details of the social round are
too important. Perhaps it shouldn't be
urged against the author that one is
continually wanting to slap his hero,
for some people always make one feel
that way.

writing that is good and IS of the
mind. It is objective. Il is brilliant
and entertaining. but subjective writ =
ing has its essence in the soul. You
tell me that you wish to express spirit
ual truths through romantic me-
dunn. In other words, you wish to
write metaphysical stories This
means that you must make your
themes strong and your romance in
tense so as to attract your readers.
This takes infinite tact and taste.
Your brain, your liberal education. will
not be enough You must have these
and more. First. you must love your
work intensely and you must have a
sense OF rhythm. for all perfect prose
is built on rhythm. just rs poetry is.
But YOU must possess refinement and
sincerity also. Sincerity Is half Of art.
Sincerity gives strength, realism and
love. and these are the first princi-
pies"
And later in the same essay she puts
into the mouth of the philosopher the
words. Never speak OF writing as an
art. for IL Is all the arts combined. To
write well one must have a sense Of
color. music and sculpture. Writing Is
the combined beauty OF all the arts ex-
pressed in purple and gold Tho pur-
