Their hope to make my point clear. In
literature, as in everything else, form is
that counts For instance, there is a de-
cided difference between Artemus Ward
writing about himself and Stephen Lea
cock writing about himself, and the way
that Mr.. Leacock does it marks the ad-
vance in the public taste. In his "Discov-
cry of England" Mr.. Leacock is on old
ground; back of him are a whole line Of
writer's. Furthermore, he does not pretend
to being a distinguished literary person,
like Emerson, for instance. He uses all the
common methods to say what he wants to
say and he does not make any effort to
be particularly refined. Yet he gives us
more information about England. and espe-
cially about education than volumes Of
statistics or histories or sober comment;
and this, in short, is the real function OF

our original point of view, we would throw
out the mere teller of stories if he came
around the third time. But we will always
welcome him when he is able first to tell
us what we want to know about, and to
illustrate his point with a story, or even
to enveigle us by a story into grasping
some truth. Thus Lincoln. Thus an in.

SO many of our humorists never seem to
get anywhere; but in Great Britain they
go on up and become novelists and play
wrights. There was Thackeray, who be-
gan as humorous writer on Punch; and
to-day there is Mr.. A. A. Milne. who. follow
ing in Thackeray's footsteps, began with
Punch, and now writes admirable plays
and delightful novels.
George AIDE succeeded In getting up out
also came to write plays. Here, indeed, is
the case of a humorist who did not use
himself he started with his gallery of
middle West characters creating them with
astonishing ease and-unless 1 am greatly
mistaken-giving us something permanent;
because it would hardly do for any student
of the last twenty-five years to overlook
what Mr.. AIDE has done, or what Mr.. Peter
Dunno has given us in Dooley. This, /
think, brings out into relief the necessity,
if ones work is to persist, of creating
characters. But if we now turn from the
standpoint of the reader to that of the
writer it is astonishing to discover that
not only are methods of writing humor
well established but are quite few and
quite simple.
Admitting in the beginning that one has
the talent, only three courses appear to be
open. The first is to use ones own per-
sonality, thus bounding and jumping and
rollicking through the world. kind of
foil to express one's-shall l say contemptf
or satire at what is going on. The Sec
ond way is to create character, or gall
lery of them, giving them as much life as
possible, sometimes fixing them in one at
titude (as in the case of Mrs. Darlington
and Mr.. Dooley), either by a set vocabu-
larry or a particular viewpoint, or else
making them quite universal, as in the
case, say, of Falstaff or of Don Quixote or
Mrs Camp. And the third way is the
way of burlesque. method that of late
has been so much in the fashion. 1t is
quite difficult for us to go back in our
own brief literary history and discover any
successful burlesques. with the possible

TEST young men, a chum of John Du-
val Dodge, Jr Detroit, entered on a
30-day Jail sentence imposed on him
for being host at a wild party for five
guests In his mansion Saturday night.

found conventional garb too cumber-
some and dispensed with all or ma
ior portion Of their clothes.
Neighbors brought about arrest Of
the sextette when they complained to
police that young Everard was gallop-
ing unclad around his lawn.
In the ensuing raid police found one
of the men and one of the women
staging a wild dance in the nude, while
others wore a minimum of clothing.
The police also testified they found

the house and other signs of hilari-

guests were released on payment of
$50 fines. Young Everard, because Of
his previous record, was not given the
option of fine, but was ordered into
ial for a month.
