1t is interesting to note the type
of English writer's who have lately
used the Negro as material for fic-
ton. They are all men of delicate
taste. Leonard Merrick, the novel
list, with his QUAINT Companions"
David Garrett, writer of fantastic
tales, with "The Sailors Return"
Ronald Firbank, whose "Prancing
Niger" has been compared to
Alice in Wonderland" and Haldane
MacFall, author of "The Wooing of
Jezebel Pettyfer," whose other works
concern themselves with such SUBJ
jects as French Pastellists' and
'"The History of Painting" 1t is a
compliment to the African that such
men have depicted him. In Amer
lea he has been used largely in bur-
lesque. His humor has been depict
ed as buffoonery. Du Bose Hayward,
with a poets sensitiveness, saw the
beauty and tragedy in "Porgy" and
his surroundings, but no one in the
United States has revealed the wit
and charm of the Negro as has the
Englishman.
Ronald Firbank and Haldane Mac
Fall have written of the Negro of
the British West Indies. "Prancing
Niger" is a dream of an enchanting
island in the West Indies, where the
country maiden wears a garland of
flowers for clothing, and where the
city, like other cities, beckons, and
clothes, and captivates, and, at last,
soils. The title is unfortunate. 1t
leads one to expect burlesque while
the book is delicate, suggestive. A
scene appears only to fade away. Its
laughter is fraught with pain. Ones
only criticism is that the book is far
too short.
This fault can never be laid at the
door of "The Wooings of Jezebel
Pettyfer," which would be better if
it were shorter. 1t falls off at the
last, and one is little provoked to
find so many interesting characters
all come to a bad end. To be sure
Jezebel, whose name describes her
perfectly, lives triumphant, but she
is continually bad. One however, is
not much concerned with the story.
1t is the setting and the wit that
makes Jezebel Pettyfer.
The major part of the book is laid
in Jamaica and the characters are
black men of a company of Zouaves,
together with the clerk and school
master and loose women who fire.
quent the saloon of the Negro Hue
kleback. Much complaint has been
made by colored readers that this is
not fair picture of the West Indian
Negro. Of course it is not. But what
story that revolved about a soldiers
life would be? 1t seems quite as de-
cent crowd as Kipling drew in
Soldiers Three" At times the
white man obtrudes himself, but
not often. Moreover, the book
is reprint, having appeared
first in 1897. Doubtless, Mac
Fall would see changes should he
be put in command of a company of
Zouaves in Jamaica to-day. But GER
