One day browsing around In
the library he saw the title OF
one Of the books Neale had pre-
tended to know and had never
heard OF. He drew 1t out ct was
Richard FeveraPD, and read 1t,
entranced, until early the next
morning. After that he looked
up, one by one, all the books she
had mentioned, and read them,
some with delight, some with
blank incomprehensiveness. some
with scorn.
A Passable Mixer.
He killed a lot Of time discuss
ing things in general with Gregg,
reading Gregg's books. He fell
especially hard for a worn volume
of poems and ballads. For six
weeks he was convinced that
Swinburne had said the last word,
a blighting word, on ethical val
ues. Then one day he noticed
that his favorite credo. From
too much love Of living, from
hope and fear set free" couI1 Ie

known, extremely coarse and ve-y
unpoetical song called, Some

Of drinking beer" and 1t occurred
to him suddenly that when you
thought about It, both expressed
the same philosophy. It was dis
gustingl It wasn't argument
but Just the same It somehow
put a crimp in Swinburne! He
went back to his history and
economies. But you couldn't

rather more interesting than he

gently, I must admit. I couldn't

All the while the baby was

I was distracted, so I ran down

with laughter.
This made me indignant, be-
