A RE the Arabian Nights going?
~ Is that enchanting dream
L n life that we have all seen
and felt, hanging like a rosy dawn
over the unChanging East, from
charmed Cairo to magic Bagdad
and Balsora, and on through end
less glamor to the realm of the
Princess Of China; is 1t all to
vanish, with ScheheraZade, the in
cantatress-driven from this world
by the too-coarse touch of material
istic science?
This question, which formerly
was brooded only by few sensi-
tive souls. timidly anxious over
the guessed-at possibility of II
change that would sterilize the
earth against romance, has now
become alive and insistent.
For, since the war, the East is
rapidly altering in aspect. shifting
like a fading Kaleidoscope picture
from multitudinous rainbow hues
to a dull, uniform, uninspirirg
gray. The glittering. black-shardcd
beetles Of occidental speed magic
are running swiftly in the oriental
sunshine over the sands of the
Nile, and the Tigris, and the des-
erts of Oldest Asia, assailing the
nostrils Of the plodding camel. the
ancient ship of the desert" with
the vapors of gasoline, that ILL.,
smelling Genie of science who has
emerged from his bottle to be the
pretended slave but the real master
Of the rash fisherman that drew
him out of the depths.
The buZZing, roaring airplane
flies in the very air through which
the enchanted horse" carried off
the Prince Of Persia, the air that
bore Prince Houssain's flying car
pet. The mechanical realization Of
his dreams is before the waking
eyes Of the Arabian story-tcller,
and the inevitable effect is that
his dreams fade away; he can
dream no more. The charm evapo-
rates. The huddled group OF eager,
fascinated listeners no longer
crowds about him in a shaded cor
:ner of the market square. His
fantasies are vulgarized by mate
REALIZATION.
. The starting of the aeroplane is
as wonderful to look upon as the
effect Of the turning OF the little
peg in the neck Of the Indians en-
chanted horse, but-when the peg
had been turned no mocha nIsm
that human mind could compre-
