London, Nov. THE "flapper type"
of young girl is rapidly disappearing
in London. The first signs of waning
popularity is the discarding of bob
bed hair.
According TO West End hairdressers
shortened locks are no longer approv-
ed. and the coming winter season Will
see new styles in the art of hairdress-
inr. The most popular substitute for
bobbed hair is q short pompador, and
the use of a small ribbon or wreath.
This is the favorite style of Princess
Mary.
The reversion in hair dressing has
even gone to the extent that small
amounts of false hair will be used
this winter.
The new color for fall hats is green
almond. and wells will be worn ex-
tensively. The small hat with a veil
fastened across the front, which was
popular during the war. is 10 be worn
again. The hats will be smaller this
fall, but huge shapes, rivalling the

the rage in the spring.

life of commonplace tragedies behind

fairyland of her cherished illusions.

tones. But he is, quite definitely, very
little of the traditional cremite. He
prefers three dimcnsional reality and
his verse reveals at moments a robust
plangent swing which the poets of the
nineties rarely gave proof Of.
In "Sals and Mirage believe, we
have Sterling's choicest work; GER
tainly his most keenly human. Those
who have read "Ths Testimony Of the
"Suns" and "The Wine of Wizardry"
have been led to expect from the
Western poet the sonorous surf f-boom-
ing Miltonic line sprinkled with fig
ures that goose-step solemnly like
Satan's army with ill-omened banners.
Sterling in the past was too prone, one
feels, to hurl suns and meteors and
satellites about his finely -chiseled
Dantesque head. In those two volumes,
as we'll as in host of well-wrought
sonnets, we copied him in the role of
cosmic juggler. This gesture in the
grand manner is in "Sails and Mirage"
admirably subdued, and Sterling's gen.
uine gift of lyricism-a gift that
savors, it may be, of yesteryear, but it
revitalzed for us in an original man.
ner-issues forth with pleasing klang
for the sensitive ear and the active
imagination.
The magical singing quality of Ster-
iing's verse is perhaps best exemplified
in such poems as "To a Dancing Girl"
containing these two haunting lines:
"But you with warm immediate
beauty plead,
And fragrant is your football on
our star"
The sonnets in the present book are
in no way exceptional. One recalls
fugitive poems in this form by George
Sterling which genuinely lifted one
as few achievements in the sonnet have
done. That Sterling's old sorcery is
still potent on the responsive reader
is fully manifest in such a poem as
"The Queen Forgets," with which the
book opens.
Sterling has been called the poet
laureate of San Francisco, and he is,
l daresay, proud of his unofficial robe
of office, proud of the respect and ad-
miration of his fellow citizens. San
Francisco is in many ways one of the
most pagan cities in the American
scene and George Sterling is its most
lucent voice. He has sung it devotedly.

award of literary prizes and
literary merit, though were it
not for the occasional happy instances
of judges smiling upon mediocrity one
might hypothecate relationship based
on mutual repulsion. But these in
stances, just frequent enough to inval-
date a rule, are still sufficiently infre
quent to appear notable as we'll as
pleasant. And they furnish cause for
remark by all lovers of literature, for
although the due recognition of a Rob-
inson may not give us strength to view
with perfect equanimity the crowning
of half-score contemporary Louise
Colets, we do find satisfaction and
also partial consolation in this isolated
act Of justice. And our delight is no
doubt keener than it would be in

SAILS AND MIRAGE. by George stcrln

SAILS AND MIRAGE. by George Sterling
A. NJ. Robertson, San Francisco
~ EVERAL months ago George
o. Sterling remarked deprecatingly
to the writer over a rare bottle
of contraband:
II admire you young people
tremendously. Of course we don't en-
ploy anything like the same diom, but
you're doing keener, fresher work than
we odsters. l belong to the ancicn re-
0ime."
George Sterling first set pen to paper
as poet after being abruptly trans
planted from fishing village in Long
Island to "the cool gray city" Of
San Francisco. He was then in his
early twenties At the outset of his
poetical career--he is now close to fifty
he fell, imagine under the cadenced
fluency of Swinburnc and later Ca fate
he by no means shared alone among
his contemporaries) under the languor-
Gus spell of the f11 dc steele poets
Wilde, Dowson and Lionel Johnson. At
the present moment his work shows lit
tie trace of these men.
1t is interesting to trace the set Of
the neopagan tide westward, as it del
uged most of our big cities, sweeping
on and on, in the early years of the
present century. In brief, the Victorian
ninetiesl enjoyed a ripping reverbera-
tion in the United States some time
after the English neap-tide had pretty
we'll subsidized.
New York, by reason of its position,
was the first to be assailed by the
movement, which in its down-sweep
caught such men as Percival Pollard,
Vance Thompson and Charles Henry
Mal+ ,,olr x;,;1 ct, Il
as it plunged westward, lost much of
its empty posturing and betrayed, in
its Chicago incarnation at least
rather sanative development in "The
Chap Book" a monthly periodical, put
out by Stone & Kimball. Finally,
returning somewhat to its early phase,
it scaled the Sierras and reached Cali
fornia. There, partly on account of
the mellow, languid climate and partly
because the Younger writers had not
yet sown their allotted crop Of wild
oats, it was mistaken for sensual
Epicureanism. At the same time it
lost a goodly portion of its green
carnaton attitudinizing. George Ster-
ling had been writing verses but few
f1edgeling years when the enset of the
tide engulfed him. Is it a wonder,
then, that he has never completely
recovered?
But would not have you believe that
George Sterling is in any discriminate
ing sense a decadent poet. If we as
sessed him by nothing else that he has
done, "Sails and Mirage" his last vol
ume, would refute the charge. His
poems, on the contrary, bristle with
sharp sensory contacts with fesh-and
blood reality; his note is not minor
and his range is by no means mar
row, although he has written poems
that, one imagines, would have hugely
pleased Henry Harland, editor of "The
Yellow Book" 1t is quite true that
at times he likes to assume the hair
shirt of self-mortiied asceticism, but
he does so, perhaps, in the hope that,
as in the case of ST. Anthony, his
feshly visions and hallucinations will
appear all the more poignantly alluring;
that sweet honeyed voices Of fair women
will haunt his sensual ear. as it did Viii
