The reader is taken to the edge OF
the precipice and shown the yawn-
ing pit that lies below. No tract
ever written extolled more wildly
the beauty of the homely virtues,
the wisdom of honorable marriage,
and the simple joys of the home.
Then, the vigor and fire of the book
as a work of art! The writer of
these paragraphs has read "Sapho," !"
in French and in English, at a con-
servative estimate, thirty times,
and with every rereading finds some
fresh beauty, some hitherto undis-
covered observation of life, some
new bit of wise philosophy. TO say
that "Sapho" is very near the apex
of fiction is merely to express an
individual opinion. To say that the
mind that reads filth into it and
does not grasp it's moral lesson is
a mind both immature and unclean
is simple statement of fact.
DUT to consider the reverse of
- the shield. There is going
about a great deal of whining hum
bug about the sanctity of "art."
"Sapho" is clean book because it
was written by a man of genuine
talent who portrayed life as he saw
it and who was inspired to his task
by lofty moral purpose. But there
come to mind a dozen books of the
last few years, half a dozen of
them of the past six months, that
by no letting down of literary stand
ards can be regarded as works of
art; and by no charity can be con-
sidered otherwise than as having
been written with the idea of max
ing money by pandering to the sex
curiosity and longing for excite
ment of the unripe reader. That is
a condition of affairs which it is
impossible to evade; and since it
cannot be evaded, there is no use
mincing words about it. If a book
be foul at heart all the mouthings
about the liberty of the artist to
choose his theme; and all the high
sounding allusions to the Madame
Bovarys," and the "Germinie Lac
erteuxs," and the tom Joneses," I"
and the "Madamoiselle de Maupins"
that have gone before, cannot re-
move the taint that is there. Art
for arts sake? Nonsense. 1t is
simply matter OF decency and
common sense.
A NEW edition of Louisa nj. Al
"A colts Little Women" with
illustrations in color by Jessie Will
cox Smith, has just come from the
press of Little. Brown & Co. In all
how many editions of that story
have been issued since its publica-
tion in 1868? Yet, despite it's enor-
nous success, Little Women" had
to wait nearly half a century before
it was presented on the stage. The
dramatist had to work eight years
to obtain the necessary permission
The copyrights were in the possess
sion of Miss Alcott's two nephews,
the famous twins, Daisy" and
"Demi" John and Demijohn), sons
of Miss Alcott's last surviving
sister. In Boston the two Pratt
boys when growing up were pointed
out as the famous twins, just as
in later years Mrs. Frances Hodg-
son Burnett's son Vivian was point
ed out as Little Lord Fauntleroy.
There had been a certain New Eng
land prejudice against making a
play of Little Women" although
Miss Alcott herself was fond of the
theater and actually wrote a short
comedy which was produced at the
Boston Theater.

L tie Women were Roberts

Tale of Two Cities" BLEAK House"
would be out of the question on ac-
count of Lady Dedlock. Mrs. DOM
beys pretended elopement with the
smiling Carker would keep Dom
bey & Son" from the tables of
those exacting in their demands for
literary purity. divers illegiti-
mate birth would consign "Oliver
Twist" to the forbidden "index";
and Smike's illegitimate birth and
the intentions of Sir Mulberry
Hawk would do the same for
Nicholas Nickleby." Charlotte
Bronte's Jane Eyre" would GER
tainly be taboo, for did not Edward
Rochester attempt to force amorous
attentions upon the heroine when
he had wife still living? Bulwer-
Lytton's "The Last Days of POM
peii" would be outrageously impos-
sible with it's sensuous dance scene
and its pictures of what might be
termed the country club life of the
Romans.
ITO turn to American literature.
4 Nathaniel Hawthorne's THE
Scarlet Letter" would naturally
have to be wiped OF the slate for
all time. Hester Prynne and Ar
thur Dimmesdale are no fit charac-
ters for contemplation. When we
come to think of it, Harriet Beecher
Stoves "Unele Toms Cabin"
might be regarded as a highly "im-
moral" book. Certain newspapers
OF the South professed to find it so
in the early fifties of the nineteenth
century. There are points of that
book, the pictured relations be-
tween white men and women of
mixed blood in New Orleans, and
the designs of Simon Legree against
the slave girl in his power, that
could be condemned as "reeking
with sensuality." Bret Harte's
"The Luck of Roaring Camp" with
its Cherokee Sal, should be burned
at the public stake, and reasons
might be found for consigning most
of the authors other stories to the
same fate. In Mark Twain's THE
Innocents Abroad" there are phrases
and words that are perhaps highly
shocking to those who carry pru-
derry to the point of draping the
legs of their pianos. This method
of illustration, at once nonsensical
and serious, might be carried on
indefinitely.
DUT to drop entirely the nonsen-
II sica1 tone. There is one book
that in the mind stands out above
all others as the test. 1t might be
made the subject of the first ques-
tion in an examination for candi-
dates for the Office of censor. De-
spite the championing of it by
Thackeray and Coleridge, it is an
open question whether Fielding's
Tom JONES'" for example, is a
wholesome book for general read
ing. There are good many per-
sons, not prudes, who agree with
honest Col. Tom Newcomes opin-
ion Of it. But any one who re-
CARDS as an immoral" novel Al
phonse Daudet's "Sapho";; any one
who fails to recognize in it one of
the great moral pointing books Of
all literature, is sufferer from
mental and moral astigmatism. Yet
| that is the book that on several oc-
casions has been selected by the
"reformers" in this country for, par
ticular attack. When first trans
lated it was challenged There is a
story to the effect that a cablegram
was sent to Daudet informing him
that there was question about the
novel. Daudet. mystified for a mo-
ment, decided that the only possible
question that could arise would be
as to the spelling of the heroine's
name. So he cabled back: Spell
it with one p."
